Another celebreation

I celebrated my Birthday last week..I told Rogan he could start having my birthdays because I didn't want to get any older! So we went to the YMCA to swim:) It was a good relaxing day. Any birthday that falls on a Saturday is a good one.

My little shark

This Picture was taken for Daddy! Since he is a BVU Beaver.  We took this while watching Norreen play ball

Rogan ready for bed....Not
This Picture was on my actual birthday. We went for a little walk in Lake Park to look at some fish from the bridge. It was a little chilli but was really cool to see all of the fish!

 We had the Radiology Christmas party on my birthday so I got to celebrate with all of these ladies. We had a good time bowling and catching up!
These two were quiet and I found them like this

These 3 complete Chad and I...yes they may stress us out at times but at the end of the day we are very blessed to call them ours! We started up with Y ball this week and I am coaching both girls so for the next 6 Saturdays we will be spending it at the Y. They are very excited! Rogan had some funny comments this week.. He scratched a little boy at Day care and he told me "I told him to cover his face and not show Colleen because then I will get into trouble." but then he was busted and completely honest that he did it and it said it made his "heart crack" The girls celebrated their 100th day of school this week!

Kendal Turns 9!

Kendal turned 9 yesterday! Hard to believes that we have been parents for that long!! Amazing how crazy our world has become.  It is a good thing she was first because if the other two would have come first....lol no they are all wonderful in their own way! She is very grown up little lady that is always motivated and willing to learn new things.  We are very proud of her and can't wait to watch her to continue to grow into a fine young lady! We went to Holstein for the weekend to watch our Cousin play basketball and then had lunch with family at the Inside Scoop. Then to the movie Norman of the North with a few other friends to end the day! IT was very cold, like usual for her B-day but today it was -15 without the wind!! I told her some day we will be on the Beach for our Birthdays!!


A new Gun case from her Dad!

Finally some moccasin slippers



Madeline came to Holstein to spend the night at Grandmas!









 We are so blessed to have wonderful parents that are amazing Grandparents!!!

Ending the day at the movie!
 Lately this his how we see Cora most of the day! She loves to stand on her head!
Proud of Buddy and his skills!


Ended the day with a movie Norm of the North to Spencer with a few friends. Today we got to spend the day home in the warm house and caught up on some rest. Well by the end of the day the kids were a little crazy but still was nice to be home. Rogan had about a box of Popsicles. I said that is your last one and he says no it is my 3rd.. at least he is honest!

Rogan funny sayings

Rogan has been saying the funniest things lately and I have to write them down because I don't remember the girls saying some of these things.  He told Chad that when he is 22 he will play football for the Dolphins. Today at school his first day back to school after Christmas break he said they learned an inappropriate letter.. the letter "P" he said  "mom they are talking about our privates" At school when they are trouble they go to "Chicago" which is time out:) At the beginning of the year he spent a lot time there at the beginning of the year. He has gotten better at following the rules at school. He told us at the beginning of the year that he was not learning anything and all they did was yell at him:) He has a lot of energy and loves to play Ninja. He tells us that when he is angry is heart is crumbling. If we do not look him in the face while talking it also hurts his hearts! He is a tender heart with alot of energy.  He is all boy!

Happy New Year 2016

The kids love playing with all the kids across the street at LoLo's Daycare. Cora goes there everyday but the other two enjoy going there when they can.

 We brought in the New Year staying at Village West in Okoboji with some friends. We got to enjoy some swimming and spending the night at a Hotel, two of their favorite things.


The kids at the party
 Kendal loves taking pictures like her mom and she spent some time taking pictures at the neighbors to make them a special E for their last name.

Rogan loving his Nelli, and Nelli not so sure
So my New Years Goal is to be better with my blog...I have been really bad. It just seems easier to upload everything to instagram or facebook right at your fingertips on your phone.  I want to be better and try and update at least once a week. Our lives are a little crazy during the week running around with all the kids in Dance, wrestling, basketball, piano and school.   Kendal is 8 and in the 3rd grade. She will be 9 in a couple of weeks. So crazy to think that she is that old and very mature for her age. She is a perfectionist and very sensitive. She has a creative mind and works very hard at everything she does.  Little Miss Cora is 7 and always keeps us on our toes. She loves playing games..board and card games:) She is going to try Bball for the 1st time this year. She is a crazy, fun loving girl that knows how to push all of our buttons. Rogan is 4 and started preschool. He is our energizer bunny that does not stop going! He started tumbling and wrestling this year and loves it. I am still in nursing school and I have one year left. I have to say that is a big reason for the lack of updates. Chad is still working as a Chiropractor in town and got Dr. Kayla to help him out.
    The day after Christmas our Cousin Jamison got married in Holstein. I had the honor of taking their pictures. It was my first wedding and it was so much fun. Cora of course had to be there to photo bomb a few pics. Kendal was my little helper at the reception and took over for me.
