Cooper turns 9, he is an amazing, great kid.

He gives me the most to think about as a mother and I appreciate the things that I learn from him. He is doing well in school, he is doing better with his anxiety and is such a tender hearted kid.
We went skating for Cooper's birthday party with cousins and it was fun. He loves pizza and cake so a perfect night for him. He got some hex-bugs and some of his favorite treats.
Alivia is doing good, is a pro at wearing her head gear and is loving her musical that she has been practicing for. She had an all day practice the other day, from 9am to 5:30 pm. I was worried that she wouldn't like it but she came home in a great mood and was super excited to go back on Monday afternoon for another 3 hour practice.
Bauer is loving the warm weather, he really wants to play soccer, which he has never really expressed interest before and now it is too late to sign up. So I will have to keep him busy swimming and other activities that he likes.

Kessler is loving preschool and getting to be a pretty good little reader, very, very basic words but it is fun to see him so excited about what he is learning and remembers. He has a birthday coming up on Sunday, that will be a great day....5 years old. SO crazy!!
Ben is doing good, got his annual review score (raise and bonus based off of this number) from Target and did a great job and all his hard work is paying off. He is liking the new store more and more. He has even been exercising a bit more, ha I exercise almost everyday and it is A SLOW process, but that is ok as long as I am moving forward and not backward.

We are getting ready for spring break, we are getting packed. I always pack early. There is so much to do, it would overwhelm me if I had to do it in a few days. So excited for some fun in the sun. It has been WAY too long, but life and other bills happen;)
I have officially decided i am not putting cell phone pics on my blog anymore, it is such a pain to get them on here, you wouldn't think so but it is. I have tons of pics to load but my computer doesn't show the thumbnail and makes it more hassle than it is worth also they are so blurry. I don't want to look back and think I wish I had more clear pics of my family growing up....so back to the DSLR. Hopefully more pics to come.....I love seeing pics on people blogs and following their cute kids and family updates.
We are so blessed in these parts.....kids are doing great, my parents and Ben's parents are doing good and are thankful for everything they do for us.
Almost time for some spring planting and some yard work, it will be nice to spend some warm days outside!
Cooper was Wayne Gretzky for the wax museum. It was fun to learn more about him.
