A Trip to Frakenmuth

First stop Zehnders....



Followed by the traditional stop to Raus Country Store(can you say barrels of candy)

Followed by a trip to Bronners so all can pick out an ornament....



It was so nice out when we went this day we were able to hang around outside afterwards!!!

The Santa Parade

Looking or their brother(this is obviously before the candy started to fly). The funniest thing is once Jensen had about 10 pieces he was done until this lovely Grandma aged women started to collect candy for him!


David is on the student council and so walking in the parade is one of the things they get to do!!!

I loved working with these great women and am grateful for all that I learned from them and their wonderful spirits!!!

The Story of the Love Bucket

This is the original "Love Bucket" from bucketofloveinc. This is the company my sweetheart created when we were dating(now whenever I get a sweet gift it is from the CEO of bucketofloveinc or some other random person tied to the company). I received this bucket one day and it was full of hearts. On each heart was something he loved about me. Several monthes had passed and I in turn added hearts to the bucket of thingas about him(I had some help from our oldest son).

Now the tradition continues on and the kids have their very own Love Buckets. It was so sweet to see their faces light up as I read each of their hearts in their buckets. I Love My Children and the founder of the Love Bucket!!!!

My children love to craft!!!!! If has anything to do with glueing, cutting, painting, coloring, markering, sticking, folding, tearing etc...they are all about it. Here are a few of our creations this month:

Our Little Heart Monsters

Valentines Butterflies

The Marriage of Q and U

The kids also sang What a Wonderful World(tears tears)




















They also have love potion punch(pink lemonade) and wedding cake!!!

A "SPLASHIN" Good Time

We try to do something fun during semester break and this year here it is:

Second opinions are a must if you know you are right!!!

Not a sprain, not torn ligaments...A break and I questioned the ER doctor when we were looking at the xrays and I thought it looked broken to me and I was right!

I heart....

the church and it's members. Why you ask? Because I know we can call at any ridiculous hour and have someone show up at my home and stay with sleeping kids while another one arrives at the ER to give a blessing, which is such an awesome blessing in and of itself!!! What else is there to say but THANK YOU!!!
