Wow...it's been so long since I've posted!  It took me 6 hours and 2 shop vacs to get through all the cobwebs on here!

What a Summer this has been.  Now that school is starting up I'm going to make the time to continue to log the everyday comedic moments the children offer me.  The children continue to grow and learn, the easy and hard way.   Right ( Read more... )

Justin Bieber creates all kinds of emotions in our household.  To Brenden, Cassidy and Aiden... he is AWESOME.  To the rest of the kids...he is the source of limitless jokes, many which are off-color to say the least.   So it is a constant balancing act to keep the younger ones from driving the older ones insane with the music CD's and the DVD ( Read more... )

Long time no type!  What a busy month this has been for us all.   Robert graduated high school last weekend and we had a great party for him here.  Lots of family and friends made it to celebrate and at one point in the night he referred to it as "the best party ever", which is awesome.  We are so glad he had fun and it was nice to see his friends ( Read more... )

Last week I went on a field trip with the twins' first grade classroom.  We had fun, saw many animals and successfully made it there and back without any major problems.  I signed up to drive but ended up riding with another driver and our kids.  Not too bad of a deal.  It made me scour the car clean thinking I would have kids riding in the car, ( Read more... )

Well, it is Good Friday and I am about to get ready to leave for work.  All 6 kids are home with no school and prepared for an excellent day of... nothing.   Alexander and Aiden are up, since they are our early risers.  Robert, who is usually an early riser is still in bed, as are Cassidy, Brenden and Jordan.    Aiden asked me this morning ( Read more... )

Finished looking at the moon for the night through the telescope.   When Aiden looked through he bursts out "Woah! It's the deathstar!!!"   At that point I thought we should go in.  After all I didn't want any Ewoks closing in on us....

OH, and SLEEPOVERS ROCK!!

Okay, so it's Saturday, but close enough.  We have 3 extra friends spending the night tonight and knowing how difficult that would be to get everyone up for church in the morning (this is assuming they will sleep at all) we decided to go to the 5:30pm Mass instead.  After church was over we brought home two extra friends of Aiden's, to spend the ( Read more... )

Brenden is definitely a 'dude'.   Would die if someone referred to him as a girl.  Enjoys sports and wearing the same Vikings jersey for days at a time between washings and doesn't refer to any girl as a "friend" in front of anyone other than me.  Back in 1st grade he became friends with a girl named Allie in his class.  Allie doesn't seem to be a ( Read more... )
