S-U-P-E-R Saturday!

Here is our day...in pictures. 

Soccer Saturday for NJP~sweet little buddies Landon, and Addy.

Leo playing with his "see see" sissy =)

Our little helping hand =)  He loves loading this thing up during yard work=CUTIE!

...more helping tiny hands, we potted these flowers.

We have another tinker on our hands...this is Nolan's collection.  He loves to explore outside.

*Not from today, but my favorite picture of the week.  My fave 5 yr old small boy napping on his Mama.  This is the same boy that on his way home from school this week said"Ahh, this is the life!  I could just sit outside and relax in a chair, sunglasses on, drink coconut water, and listen to my radio."  Ha...haha.  It was clearly a nice day in the 70's.  He makes me belly laugh daily...I love his verbiage, and imagination!  

What a day, was a nice family day, chaos and all. We always end our Saturday with a movie night with the big kids. Our favorite weekend tradition. So off I go for some much needed snuggles, & R&R with my sweet faces...and to watch Wreck it Ralph!

*Post Movie night=Sleeping Babes!

It was a GREAT day!
I.  Love.  My.  Family!
Goodnight!

Some GOOD news...

We are proud land owners!  We bought a lot out North & are so very happy about this!  God once again orchestrated something completely unexpected and wonderful for our family.  More to come on this later.  For now, here are a couple of pictures of our children standing on the site of our future home(that Shane will build=so fun!)

It really is everything we have prayed about and needed as far as a lot.  It's 4x's the size of our current lot.  It's the perfect location, school Dist, is builder Shane ready, and more.

 This journey and new chapter, to be continued...

NJP Updates

Nolan=the energizer bunny!  This little lad moves at 100 mph nearly 24/7!  He is a character, still loves hard, fights hard, is learning so much, is curious about e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.  As soon as his eyelids open, he is ready to talk your ear off, and already has a list of questions to ask =)  That's what makes him Nolan. 
Wanted to share some of the pictures from his Spring program last week, as well as some other random pictures that make me laugh.  It was pretty sweet to hear him practice his songs for the program.  Jesus paid it all was one of the songs they sang.  It's one of my favorites and to hear Nolan sing it with a sweet little voice melted my heart.  I love his school, he loves his school,  I love his teacher, he loves his teacher, as well as the staff!  We are cherishing this next couple of months, because next year he will be in school all/full day...and I still can't think about it.  This.  Will.  Be.  HARD.  For.  Me!
Something from last week~
Leo was whining, he loves our phones and cameras and if he sees them, cries because he wants.  So Nolan says "Leo you're not always going to get what you want always, it's life!"  Hahaha...so true Nolan J. Patrick!  Oh how I love you!


Counting out 100 pieces of popcorn for his 100th day of school project.  Um ya the ear protectors, so we borrowed them from the Herzogs when Nolan went to the Monster Truck show with his cousins...but he liked just wearing them at home too, because he's a goofball! 

Yep, there's ALWAYS a random picture on our camera taken by NJP~he took this of his (stuffed animal)dog Tucker.

100th Day of school!  Was a comfy cozy, stay in your jammies day.  We made 100 pancakes & other breakfast food.  Was a fun day for the kids!

Nolan often puts a bucket on his head for a helmet, or better yet, makes them out of boxes.  He's resourceful!

My little hunk~looking rather dashing buddy!

Getting ready to head out for his Spring Program!

Kindergarten BoYz!

Nolan and Sweet Emily~so....Nolan adores this little girl, and she adores him.  Shane and I went to H.S. with her Mom, Shane knew her well.  We keep teasing that we'll pull this photo out for their wedding ;)

They ask to have play dates, and wait for each other in the morning so they can line up together~so darn cute!

We didn't get a family picture :(  Leo was sick this night and well, the evening didn't turn out quite as planned.  Such is life right?  ;)
