Christmas Eve

Sitting here as a family watching It's a Wonderful Life.  Boys are really watching it this year, they act like they have never seen it before.  I cherish these moments with my favorite boys right now.  Even though they each take turns being a pain, they are really great kids.  No one ever tells you how much fun children are at this age.  I try not to think about them leaving for college, but maybe that stage of our lives will be grand too.  I am so praying this is true.  I can make myself downright teary even thinking about them flying the coop.  Time just flew for me and these boys.  Just yesterday they were just learning to walk.  It would be so much easier it i didn't love them so much.  Sigh...

Well it is Christmas Day here tomorrow.  It seems to come sooner and sooner each year!

Cross camp

Noah and Micah are at cross country running camp this whole week.  Jacob was up at grandpa's cottage for a few days.  The house was QUIET.  Can't say too quiet, but it gave and I another taste of how things are gonna be in a few more years.  We went to The Twisted Rooster.  Yum!  I got. Twisted Mac and Cheese and Dave got steak.  Both were delicious and the we got campfire s'more cheesecake.  Sooooooooooooooooo soooooooooo good.  So.  Then I went to Target to get teaching goodies.

Yesterday Dave, Jacob and I went to the Whitecaps.  Fun night with dime hotdogs!

A nice break from kids, but will ready for them all to come back on Friday.  :)

Sec. Of state

Going to get permits tomorrow. This has been the most difficult part of parenting for me thus far. So scary! I love being home this summer. I am enjoying being able to keep up on housework. The boys are at a perfect age. They crack us up daily; they also make us crazy daily!

Driver's Ed??

We are in the middle of driver's training right now.  2 of my 3 most precious cargo just left- with MICAH in the driver's seat!  I was just buckling him in like yesterday!  This is so scary to me, but I pray for them each time they leave, so I know they will be okay.  Soon it will be my turn to drive with them- hmmm...  Our summer is going well, seems like just yesterday it was Christmas.  I so enjoy being home with our boys in the summer- they are continuing to grow into fine young men.
