JP braved the cold windy weather last Sat morning and came out to the farm to get some family pics while Aimee and Randy were in town. What a task, she did awesome. She actually got some great ones with everyone looking and smiling, but the above picture has to be my favorite. All of the adults but one is not looking at the camera, cracks me up. 
The kiddos loved piling in and feeding the cows with Grandpa, Jude preferred to watch from the sunroof, the baby calves were the cutest!
for this guy, my best eater who had a complete meltdown by the end of the night and was rolling around on the floor because his d he wrote for his name on his cup didn't look good.
for Kingston, who yes does eat solids, mashed of course! He had taters coming out of his ears.
for my oldest, most laid back silly Xman, love those grassed stained knees
my girl that was up past midnight coughing last night
I loved being with these two for their first 1/2 marathons, they kicked some turkey booty finishing in under 2 hours, way to rock it Barb and Cortney!
Pre-race party pic, temperature 27 degrees, feels like 21, frigid!
action shot by Xander, seeing the kiddos and hub at the finish was the sweetest.
This class is the sweetest, I love watching them, much to be thankful for in here.
Ender and Jude, such good friends, we will miss you buddy!
The kiddos spent much of the weekend preparing their science fair projects. Xander and Brady went with shaking lego towers while Monroe chose a little art demo, fitting for both.
come on ride the train,
limbo lower now, think the limbo rules must have changed a bit.
Just Dance still going strong at our house, eye of the tiger and who let the dogs out being top dances of choice.
35 seriously, feels like we were just 10!
Still like to have fun 25 yrs later, what I love about you, Happy Birthday!
thats my cute guy lately, takes 4 or 5 steps and falls, and claps
sportin Jude's hand me downs.
Does this count? This is what we got, I didn't complain, the kids loved it and I didn't have to clean up the mess.
I struggle with the balance and "hyperparenting" when it comes to kids activities, as long as they love it and want to go, I will let them and keep them active. Monroe is super excited about competing level 5 this year and has been practicing her new routines.
Xander has shown a little more intensity this last flag football season. Guy pictured above deserves much credit, is an AMAZING coach and puts so much effort and investment in these kiddos. Don't think Xander ever got a flag last season and never missed a flag at a game this year, good job Bengals!
