"From Here to There"- Lauren's First Grade Concert

Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than watching my kids choir concerts.  There is just something about their innocence, smiles and joy that just makes me smile.  With all of the chaos in the world these days.. this is what keeps me grounded.. my kids!!






















Reagen, Halle and Lizzy- 3 of Lauren's good friends!!

Faith Feurhelm... Lauren's best buddy and neighbor!!

Miss Arnold and Lauren

Easter Weekend

Grandpa and Grandma Divine came for Easter weekend and Mollie and Charlie came up from Kansas City!  We had a great time.

Enjoying the new deck!!


Choo Choos with Charlie


Charlie getting ready for the Easter Egg hunt down the street.


The rain finally stopped for the Easter egg hunt... ya gotta love rubber boots!!



Making Grandpa's birthday cake.. the big 7-0!!


Grandpa and his peeps!


Charlie having a snack out in the yard.. it was so funny!!





Dad grilling the steaks.. it never fails, whenever Dad and Lucy come to visit our gas tank runs out.. not exaggerating.. I think it has happened the last 4-5 times they have been here... might be time to invest in a second tank.



A chilly Easter morning!



What a crew.... they have a lot of fun together!!

Yeah... I have been horrible about this.. I have a few here and there so here goes...

#9. Homemade... pasta salad, a little change up for lunches instead of sandwiches!


#10.  Favorite drink- Michelob Golden Light... not sure it is my ALL time favorite but I do love a cold beer.

#13. A treat-  Most people can't stand these... but I LOVE them... Eric bought me one.. darn him.. I have to wear a swimming suit in Florida in a month!!

#14.  Share:  I am sharing the awesome artwork from my girls, these are just a snippit of the collection.  I can't part with any of them!  The first two are Elise's and the last two are Lauren's.







#16.  Sun Ray... I wish I could say that I have a great photo of  one but that would mean the sun has been out... and it hasn't.... nothin' but cloudy, rainy, snowy skies lately... depressing!

#17. Green:  These are the two shirts the girls wear for St. Patty's Day




#19. On the floor.. this is just one of MANY things on my floor!  The Dudster....




#24.  A Dream:  These are my inspiration to re-decorate my house... so many dreams so little time... you can also refer to my kitchen photo.. that's a dream as well.  Lots of whites, blues, grays.. maybe a little yellow chevron here and there... I have LOTS of ideas.. now to just put it together!!

Elise and her coaches (Lauren on the far left is a senior this year and she won't be returning next year to help coach... the kids were pretty upset, they LOVE her.. Elise had crocodile tears when she heard the news).
