This is your last full week of 4th Grade! Lu! I can't hardly believe it. 5th grade seems too old. I remember 5th grade like it was yesterday.

Lulu, Sissypants, Ari, Arar! My sunshine. You are wrapping up 4th grade! Things are getting weird....boys and girls are starting to get crushes, and you now have a "health" section at the end of the school year. You are learning a lot about getting hurt and being kind and including everyone. You are probably seeing things I don't know you are and hearing things I don't know you are...and I pray daily for you and for protection around your heart. 

Here's to you my little lady for making me so very proud. I love you with all my heart.

Blogger wouldn't upload any more pics...4th grade you've been fabulous.

Super

Ari. She's so grown up right now. It's crazy to me. Looking at her is like looking at a little lady.

We are counting down the days to summer, 29 to be exact.

Bring it on!

When it's 80 in Seattle and Cinco de Mayo it only makes sense to slip n slide.
In the front yard.
Pure entertainment.

HOMERUN

This little lady had a huge week last week.

3 goals in soccer
Her 1st home run in softball
She sang the National Anthem at the Mariner's game with her choir
Then lost 2 molars
And she ended the week off just right with shaving her hairy legs for the very first time!

Proud of you Lu.

Lots

On my mind the last couple of days. I wish I could put into words what it is exactly that I'm feeling. But it's hard. I can't quite pinpoint it.

Not sure if it's because Briggs is 1 or Ari is 10 and her schedule is nuts and I'm feeling like I'm loosing a little bit of her. She's so busy. Zeb and I were talking last night how we would so much rather her so busy she can't think about anything else other than school and sports.
I keep finding myself taking deep breathes. All. Day. Long. Time is going too fast. Things are changing too fast. And I'm reminded again and again, I need to put my stupid phone down. I need to write more. Blog more. Capture more memories (guess I am doing this with my phone). I so wish I had this blog when Ari was Briggsy age. Everything is so thrilling. So new. First steps (not yet), first birthdays, sites, and experiences. I love the newness of having Briggs and love even more that I'm reminded everyday (by watching Lu) how fast it all goes.

Love that they are making the same face.

Hey---oooooo

It's Tuesday!
Who knows! My week days feel like weekends these days.
Life is cray cray. Can't seem to keep up with everything, but I wouldn't want it any other way.
Here a little bit of what's been going on this week.

Big B-Ball Game
1st Hair cut
Someone is about to walk (not) but almost
Visit with girlfriend Sienna
14 days of Valentines is in full affect right now!
I would have an even amount of photos of my children, but my little Lu is rarely home. With sports, rehearsals for her play, play-dates, sleepovers...I'm missing her. I get her all to myself for the next 6 days though. WOOT WOOT! Not letting her outta my sight,
