shirt - pants....

asher is our youngest son and definitely the most interesting. he also had a birthday this past winter and is now four years old. my goodness my baby isn't a baby anymore, he's not even a toddler, he's a preschooler! asher is always doing things differently, i mean different from his brothers, different from other children, different from the norm. asher means joy and boy does he give us plenty. he came down stairs the other day after i told him to get dressed yelling ' i found shirt pants mom, shirt pants.' i responded with the typical mom response ' that's good honey' all you mother's know the response, it's when you are in the middle of doing something and you can't quite give your little one all of your attention so you decide to respond with a positive word reinforcement. you would think that us mother's would learn at some point in time not to do that. it really backfires on you when your children get older and smarter, we say yes to almost anything when we are in that zone. anyhow, when i saw asher i had to get a picture. the second pic is last summer he was some kind of super hero, his socks were weapons, and his undies his mask. he loves to dress up in his batman, superman, spiderman, & ninja turtle outfits and beat up the bad guys.

a perfect wil...

our middle child, wil, turned six in january. he started kindergarten this year and loves it, though he often gets bored. he reads at a first grade level and is definitely above average. this is an answer to prayer considering we were a little nervous about his going to school. he's adjusted perfectly well, socially, mentally, and physically. for those of you who don't know, our wil is physically handicapped, uses a wheelchair and crutches. he also has a peg tube (feeding tube in his stomach) and is very small for his age. to us though, he is perfect, our perfect wil.....

packer fan...

my oldest, saige, is 8 years old and the biggest football fan ever. his favorite team is the green bay packers. though he loves them all, he has a favorite player for just about every team, afc and nfc. his favorite college team is notre dame, for spring break we took the kids to south bend and then on up to michigan city and checked out lake michigan and indiana dunes.
this last august his aunt kimmie took him to green bay, wisconsin to check out lambeau field. the fall of 2004 his aunt kimmie and grandma wigge took him to indianapolis to watch the colts and greenbay play. he was siked to wear his cheese head to a real game. his number one goal in life is to play professional football.

my love....

this is a pic of my husband bryan and myself out to dinner celebrating his 29th year this last winter

first time blogger

This is my first time as a blogger. My friend Jeni enticed me with her 'hick heaven'. What a clever way to stay in contact with one another. I must admit though that I probably won't update everyday. I'll let you in on a little secret about me....I don't even check my e-mails everyday. So bear with me on my new journey, have a little patience and I'll try not to let anyone down with my lack of skill, commitment, consistency, etc.
