We are alive!

Thanksgiving Day in D.C. We are so Thankful for this country and our freedoms!
The Kids at the National Zoo

Our cute little family
Jack and his new girlfriend Lily...don't worry Emma he still claims you!
At Hershey PA...making some chocolate bars!

Wow! I haven't been on my blog for a long time. I am going to try to create a new post. Not sure if I remember how...let's try. We are now in Maryland! I absolutely love it here! I might not go in 3 years...Brandon is working in Bethesda at USUHS (military medical school) as a commander over the Air Force students. I am still at home with the kiddos and watching other kiddos part-time. Abby is 12, Katelyn is 9, Jordan is 7, and Jack is 4! Life is great!

Happy Birthday Brandon!

Brandon turned the BIG 35! Happy Birthday! I love you! And this is why:

You are a great Husband and Father,

You have good taste in college spirit,

You are kind and share with all,

And most important, you are older than me! (and much wiser too!) Happy Birthday!

Family Dinner Night

Brandon and Jordan grilling some ribs.

Katelyn's Volcano Potatoes


So, I am trying to involve the girls a little more when I cook. It is hard because sometimes you don't have time to stop and teach, you just need to get it done. This night, Abby made the dessert, Katelyn made Volcano Potatoes from one of her cookbooks, and Jordan helped Brandon on the grill. It was an awesome dinner. We enjoyed it! Everyone helped...even Jack helped set the table.

Abby and Katelyn take dance from a girl in our church. They love it and they have learned so much. The night of the performance they danced to "Hot Chocolate" from Polar Express. It was a great dance and we had a fun night! Good job girls! Thanks Miss Megan!

Play-doh Fun

So, Jack invited his girlfriend Emma to come play play-doh with him. They had a great time making hamburgers and fries! We love Emma!
