Life

We had to say Good-bye to Grandpa Cronin on Monday. He passed away March 3 at the St. Lukes Hospital in Sioux City.  His smile could light up a room and his laugh could bring joy to your heart! He was an amazing man that everyone loved. He was man of great faith and always had a positive out look on life. This is something I want my girls to emulate and follow his wisdom near and dear to their hears.  His life was taken away fast but was a true blessing that he did not have to suffer. He had 7 children, 21 grandkids and 16 Great Grankids!

  We will miss you Grandpa!

May the Road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your field.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Saturday Chad wrestled in an old timers tourney in Lake Park. We were proud of him, he got 2nd! The final match was against a 21 year old. He has been a little sore the past few days:)

Our nephews Mason and Malachi came up for the weekend to wrestle and watch their Uncle's mad skills!

Good Times

We are officially done with the flu bug, after upper respitory crud, puking, diarrhea and hives ( Kendal had allergic reaction to antibiotic) we are doing good:) The girls have their moments and play soo well with one another then just like that there are tears and fighting. More times then not it is Cora picking on Kendal or as Cora say " Nennie"

Over the weekend we went to Sioux City to celebrate Chad's Aunt n Uncle Bill and Juli's 30 anniversary. We also went to visit Great Grandpa Cronin in the hospital. He has pneumonia but is doing a lot better.We stayed in a hotel so the girls got to do a little swimming with their new goggles!

The girls got to line dance with our waitress at the Texas Roadhouse.

Every night at dusk the past week there have been this many deer and more across the road from our house. Chad is in hog heaven:)

Birthday Celebrations

This is Cora in a nut shell... Dare Devil:) Yes she thinks she walks on water and this is why we never take her life jacket off when she is around water! She is growing up soo fast, starting to wear big girl underwear and talk more and more every day!!

We went to Chuckie Cheese for the first time ever to celebrate Kendal and I's Birthday. We had a great time! Cora was a cheap date and loved doing the free slide and tunnels to climb through.

Of course we had to end the day with Cotton Candy!



Cora loves to wear lipstikc on her lips!

Getting kisses on my 32nd Birthday! One lucky mamma:)

 On Saturday we went to Holstein to celebrate Uncle Scott's 40th Birthday! The girls and I made a lady cake for him:) We had a great time celebrating with family and friends.

Cora thought she was pretty hot stuff on the fire trucks at the party.

Uncle Scott with his  new birthday present on. We had to get it for him to wear this weekend for the super bowl!

Kendal Turns 4!

 Four Years ago today we were blessed with our first born Kendal Jo, 6lb 1oz 18.5 inches long. Our little peanut was breech and refused to turn so she was born by c-section. She is one wonderful little lady  and we thank god every day for her cute corkey little smile:) Every day she suprises with humor and her vivid memory of details. She still continues to wear dresses that started around the age of 2. She amazes me with her color cordination of her outfits and fashion. She has grown up into a fine young lady!

 We celebrated Kendal's Birthday in Holstein on Saturday. We got to see her cousins wrestle (Mason and Malachi, Kristi's boys) in Holstein. Then we had pizza and cupcakes at Grandma Nemos.

The birthday girl striking a pose! what a little diva, she is not camera shy at all!

 Today Kendal invited 8 little 4 year olds over for supper and birthday cake. It all went great, they are all very good girls, no tears were shed, well except for little sis Cora but that is normal. At one point they were 8 girls in Kendals bed.....yikes.

 The unicorn birthday  cake made by mommy and Kendal.

All the girls at Kendal's 4th Birthday Party! At the end of the day it all went well but she did say in bed tonight maybe next year I will have 4:) It was worth every minute, they are all great little girl.  It is worth all the smiles and giggles that are priceless and why I love being a mom!

Dancing Queens

Kendal has dance every Tuesday night, and little miss Cora gets really sad when her sister leaves. So this past Tuesday we let Cora get a dance outfit on too:) She looked so grown up!

This is Cora's version of the bridge. She is a one of kind.....very strong willed individual that tests us everyday:) But so darn cute!!
