Nick playing soccer summer of 2014 !!! I love it...


Nana and Papa at one of Nick's Games...
Nick playing Defense.. he was really good at defense, but he did score some goals this year..
I love watching him play. He loves soccer...


Oh Nick!!!  You make mommy proud !!!

His turn for time out.. He wants to play nonstop, but he is a goooooood sport...always thinking of his teammates...
These were the best players on the team, I think!! Even though he dressed kind of funky.. he stood out!!!


First Day of School 2014 !!!!!


Josh here was 5'8'.. Of course I am posting this 4 months after school started and he is up to 5'10" almost 5'11".. He is getting so big, he definitely towers over me...

Nick is slowly catching up to mommy. At the rate he is growing and I am shrinking, by the end of his 7th grade year, he will be taller than me.. MY BABY is getting so big...

Zack has finally taken off.. Due to his illness, it kept him from growing but 6 weeks after being on insulin, he grew 2 inches.. YEAH !!!!

Whener someone is riding a bull, sitting on a bull, eating large pieces of Cheese and kissing a mouse.It's NICK !!!

Nick being silly on our way back from Taylor Falls with Nana and Papa.. We stopped off at a buffalo farm and bought some cheese and goodies...


Nick and Mommy....

Nick Determined to climb up the slippery buffalo's butt...

Succeeded.. Now sit down Nick and don't get hurt..

No, now we must stand on the bull...

They were really close to us and they were  majestic.. Lots of little calves running around too

We got to capture one mommy feeding her baby..sooooo sweet !!!!

Trip to Taylor Falls 2014 !!!!


Josh and Nick climbing huge rocks at Taylor Falls.MADE ME VERY NREVOUS.....

 Now Chris is joining them in scarring me.. It is an absolutely Gorgeous park, but open for anyone to climb and it over looks the St. Croix River.. If you fall in, it is hundreds of feet below and the rocks can be slippery.. Not sure why anyone would willingly climb them, but my boys do...


Mom and Dad (Nana and Papa) joined us on a cruise down the St. Croix River.. Beautiful day and beautiful weather...Could not have been more perfect..


Supposed if you look  hard enough, you can see the outline of George Washington....

Beaatifully lush and green...


Cutie, patutie..Nick looking cool in his shades....

Josh looking cool too.....the River is sooo pretty and calm...


Look at the view... could it be more beautiful, well actually if it was down South and had palm trees... but we will take this....
 

Zack was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes =(



Zack on the way home from the hospital 2014
 

Daddy, Nick and Josh decorated the house to welcome home Zack from the Hospital where he spend 4 days in ICU while recooperating from DKA.. Diabetic KetoAcidosis...Very sad and very hard to come to terms with. But he is our trooper and does what he is suppose to. He is such a responsible little patient...
 
Thankfully Zack had his ipod with him in the hospital so he could keep his mind off of the hospital...

Home Sweet Home.. This is our newest addition on top of the Gremlin

OK.. we made the move from the country and twenty acres back to the city...Very hard, but we really like the neighborhood we live in. The neighbors are great and the boys are enjoying living near a bike path that goes all around Woodbury,Minnesota.. It has been a good mission field for us. We have a flag pole, now we just need to get a flag and we are set...I don't think I can move again, it was wayyyyy tooooo much work....

Our Little Gremlin we added to our Family....

This is CJ...We adopted him from the pound. His name was Chris, but I couldn't see myself yelling at the dog and my husband with the same name. I mean I could see myself, but it wouldn't be pretty  =) anyways CJ is 4 years old,. He is half Chihuahua with Miniature Pincher in him. He walks with an attitude but is the sweetest dog I have ever had. He somehow attached himself to me and follows me EVERYWHERE I go. Even if I am in the bathroom, he sits outside and waits for me. He sits on my feet when I do the dishes. He is really loveable. He looks like a gremlin to us, and has a face only a mother could love, but his personality makes him really cute.
