Yesterday we had a cruddy weather....but it is amazing what difference a day makes. </p><p>I had a few bucket list things I really, really wanted to see in Yellowstone. Artists point was one of them. I was bummed when it was too cloudy to see it on our first day. It was an hour drive to head back there, but we headed back there first thing in the morning to give it another try. I am so glad we did!! It was lovely! This area is considered the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and I could spend all day exploring there!</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjNMAoGcKgp5YX2Y28H7LsoI0-rYcZ9XViFQcDu9Z0ljgfd4kX9Ew-S4spyyaQW1TevHq82wY0eJ7qHQFqG_zjpz5MmPOBADh3Pj5bq4pB_uVFviJFseH5QXHHB14wQazsn9cxV5Zc9-LMnQpwItytPDghCmyTgWSil4YosSt7mG4bqRykK3NbyROrKQw=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjNMAoGcKgp5YX2Y28H7LsoI0-rYcZ9XViFQcDu9Z0ljgfd4kX9Ew-S4spyyaQW1TevHq82wY0eJ7qHQFqG_zjpz5MmPOBADh3Pj5bq4pB_uVFviJFseH5QXHHB14wQazsn9cxV5Zc9-LMnQpwItytPDghCmyTgWSil4YosSt7mG4bqRykK3NbyROrKQw=s320" width="320" /></a></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgcBYq0yuG0M-qj6BZX2zREn3rp1R1sIaT55hk_PxaEuZyd9VTUZwVHDUG2v1XPwaZMYz8YaOYc8CI1etC4II_ukeOe9Ge9iPnoNyMlJmCHoeoaXaz_kjHJ1wE9X4IEGhJ2EZcB9qk6xXuOduB-3aVaZon3DmCHelk2awh3c-TGCPBc0HRerOZ5XQACGg=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgcBYq0yuG0M-qj6BZX2zREn3rp1R1sIaT55hk_PxaEuZyd9VTUZwVHDUG2v1XPwaZMYz8YaOYc8CI1etC4II_ukeOe9Ge9iPnoNyMlJmCHoeoaXaz_kjHJ1wE9X4IEGhJ2EZcB9qk6xXuOduB-3aVaZon3DmCHelk2awh3c-TGCPBc0HRerOZ5XQACGg=s320" width="320" /></a></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQjjQtkViXjCBD-nqwgsQ95GVBYjdASAtpj9APKLx6PTmjNC9P4QL1nIO7P5SAWrpD1A7cGRGuMUvhtKbQFmWjKcPXwB69zGmO0jUqCbpH-nIND5UWjjIMK-pnQwlz4XhBhfby8QewBABnicAjEDONUUhFdbrPIdQbI2jZ5qlrpWOc6_luQDwHrY8ePQ=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQjjQtkViXjCBD-nqwgsQ95GVBYjdASAtpj9APKLx6PTmjNC9P4QL1nIO7P5SAWrpD1A7cGRGuMUvhtKbQFmWjKcPXwB69zGmO0jUqCbpH-nIND5UWjjIMK-pnQwlz4XhBhfby8QewBABnicAjEDONUUhFdbrPIdQbI2jZ5qlrpWOc6_luQDwHrY8ePQ=s320" width="320" /></a></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEifm3e82ASPrio7-tZpTiVvhEpBcpLAM7STLHxFEoAbQc2yTnrJ8w-OW_zc0R35VdTmh1bZAVzG3LhlYCXHepugspRKgJ5ewJXfwG8mwlneQPutVIRu9_PKFz6JIZ2lXHMI8Nu0VLwoMblpqShbilYLknCyE0a7Zs05quM3cWDk_gfiUhPCWqLD4GrW9g=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEifm3e82ASPrio7-tZpTiVvhEpBcpLAM7STLHxFEoAbQc2yTnrJ8w-OW_zc0R35VdTmh1bZAVzG3LhlYCXHepugspRKgJ5ewJXfwG8mwlneQPutVIRu9_PKFz6JIZ2lXHMI8Nu0VLwoMblpqShbilYLknCyE0a7Zs05quM3cWDk_gfiUhPCWqLD4GrW9g=s320" width="320" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">We then headed up to the Mammoth area.

I do have to say the scenery through Montana was lovely.

In the middle of nowhere ville Sean ran into someone he knew at the store...so random.</p><p>We stayed at a cabin near Lake Hebgen. It was about a 15 minute drive to the nearest Yellowstone entrance. The views from our cabin were AMAZING! The lake was just stunning. Our cabin was a little log cabin and was perfect for our family.

We used the Gypsy Ap to navigate us around....I would highly recommend. I had a plan, but really didn't have a solid plan as the park is overwhelming, so this Ap was extremely helpful. It really gave us a lot of fun info about the park.<br /><p>The weather was cold, windy, and snowy. We didn't have the best view of the geysers, but we did enjoy very small crowds.

It covers a lot of ground and it is like you are in a different world if you just travel 30 minutes up the road. The weather changes depending on where you are it. It could be nice and sunny in the north area of the park and snowing in the south part of the park.</p><p>Another thing that I would highly recommend--if you ever want to visit is DO NOT go between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It is a very popular area...and very people-y. We went the week before Memorial Day and the crowds seemed just right. A lot of the hotels and in park restaurants were still closed, but we brought our own food into the park, so it didn't matter to us.</p><p>Onto day 5 and much nice weather!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>gigglesandgumballshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15106279461927907437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982436002744368794.post-5576940276139639742022-01-08T20:16:00.001-06:002022-01-08T20:16:59.215-06:00Summer vacation 2022: Day 2 The Black Hills<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"> To read more about day one visit my last blog post. </span></div><p></p><p>Day 2: We had a nice quiet evening to end day 1 at Roosevelt Inn. We stayed at this same hotel in 2011 and decided to try it again. Our room was a suite and plenty of room for our entire family...ok we did sneak a kid in...so don't tell anyone! </p><p>We woke up on day two and the weather didn't clear up! It was cold, rainy, and foggy. Our plan for the day was to hopefully see Mount Rushmore, drive through Custer State Park to see animals, and walk around Sylvan Lake.</p><p>We decided to start off by driving through the state park.

Rushmore<p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"> I am only a few years behind with blogging, but I thought should document our biggest family vacation that we have gone on. Doing this in hopes our kids will want to look back at this when they get older. Yes we like to travel, but it is usually not with our entire family. I planned this vacation a few years in advance, mainly to save a few dollars😂. If you have a 4th grader you can receive a free national parks pass for a full year. So Weston was able to earn us a free pass to get into Yellowstone and the Tetons! This vacation will be broken up into a few posts, since we visited many, many things worth noting. </span></p><p></p><p>Day 1: On our first travel day we decided to visit a few places along the way. The first was Fort Robinson in Western Nebraska. We didn’t see a whole lot or go into any of the museums. It was basically just a great picnic spot for lunch. It was a bit chilly out and a cool place to see. One day we will hopefully make it back and explore a little bit. It looked like a fun place. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjOyecnz2CIcROwvaSK8ALrXTdG_BT28WwRglw2vjI7m-YeFhHrGHB4tLC_IYfzAKFYh2fswKRrJ1D0MnR0TazvjjEcWEo5nB6R9Rd0U_te20WDjgqYAbrrhpXrgp3-RUKOt5_i70H4NU7yURGzh5xMj5O3a5koD5AzntYP1jUqBz5rasYqDgmgndm2PQ=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjOyecnz2CIcROwvaSK8ALrXTdG_BT28WwRglw2vjI7m-YeFhHrGHB4tLC_IYfzAKFYh2fswKRrJ1D0MnR0TazvjjEcWEo5nB6R9Rd0U_te20WDjgqYAbrrhpXrgp3-RUKOt5_i70H4NU7yURGzh5xMj5O3a5koD5AzntYP1jUqBz5rasYqDgmgndm2PQ=s320" width="320" /></a></div><p>We then visited Toad Stool Park.

Before moving to Grand Island, I attended the same church since I was a baby. I will always also consider it my home church, even though the dynamic has changed a bit since we moved away. Every year, for as long as I can remember, our old church has thrown a huge New Year's Eve party. We haven't attended it for six years as we have been either sick or already traveling. This year it was held at an entertainment center-featuring a costume contest, arcade games, inflatables, music, and food. Our boys enjoyed playing laser tag and going on a virtual reality game. Our girls had a harder time, as they aren't as extroverted as the boys are. I guess as a teen girl I probably wouldn't have just walked up to a group and made conversation, so they are a lot like I was at their age. I enjoyed catching up with a few friends who I haven't seen in a while. I should have taken more pics! My friend Mel always throws great parties!!</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgUewMuw3odkfqXsSQSdVdUXLZsHWLL-fl6mV8Fwr-zOn-tkSBNG1lDgwdroIyBdjsHHif9oR2f-sUMV2XCSh6h5JSAVltKVtR0CShIXDKXq8zPGKlh3TLEwUD0LHOHbr-uSX2L0MaGWQejmBrKEE_GBKq49C4Sz96_IeM_kXv3VDHqvPrI2rqDlGE7lg=s1795" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1795" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgUewMuw3odkfqXsSQSdVdUXLZsHWLL-fl6mV8Fwr-zOn-tkSBNG1lDgwdroIyBdjsHHif9oR2f-sUMV2XCSh6h5JSAVltKVtR0CShIXDKXq8zPGKlh3TLEwUD0LHOHbr-uSX2L0MaGWQejmBrKEE_GBKq49C4Sz96_IeM_kXv3VDHqvPrI2rqDlGE7lg=s320" width="257" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I think Weston was nursing an injury to his head...they were throwing plastic balls.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiIQquFjea5CaueIXlgxMH_mgdtbHs3UujZZVQ3JZ39rOZ3x0W09nXiaK4yAiXuuBGC-wUMsQRpdZT0oakEDgrttvd-3JuZE4z3K55gxU3W6qhK2lOzmN5ADg2Rv-S7OS8bbTBblmX38yHu8ktw-D4bC0cSd-ZAlAz36VtRdnwgJV-7gCpuAjUJju95Ow=s1795" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1795" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiIQquFjea5CaueIXlgxMH_mgdtbHs3UujZZVQ3JZ39rOZ3x0W09nXiaK4yAiXuuBGC-wUMsQRpdZT0oakEDgrttvd-3JuZE4z3K55gxU3W6qhK2lOzmN5ADg2Rv-S7OS8bbTBblmX38yHu8ktw-D4bC0cSd-ZAlAz36VtRdnwgJV-7gCpuAjUJju95Ow=s320" width="257" /></a></div><p>We were well aware that the weather was going to keep us in Omaha longer than we had originally anticipated.

We don't get invited to very many things in Omaha anymore, but always try to make it to things when we are invited.

I am not sure why it has been almost two years since I posted on our family blog. I could have made time...but I have neglected to do that! Maybe 2022 will be a better year for me posting!</p><p>We stayed at my parents house in Omaha this past weekend. They are away at their winter spot in Texas, so we did not get to see them. I talked with my mom over the phone while we were at their house and found out that her memory is gone again. It is weird, she can remember certain things, yet forget other things altogether. She couldn't remember why we were in Omaha (even though we talked about it several times) and she couldn't remember what she had done the previous night. When I was hanging out in my dad's office I noticed she had a book shelf full of binders. These binders were all labeled and full of memories. Almost like scrapbooks from the past 10 plus years. There were letters, brochures, obituaries, vacation souvenirs, park passes to places they visited...just everything. I am glad that she has those things...because if she remembers she has those things, she can look back and maybe it will trigger some past memories. I am also glad we have those things, so the kids and I can look back at all of my parents' adventures. So.....that made me think...I should try my best to return to my blog. I know not very many people will read it, however, it will give my mom a better insight on what is going on with our little family and hopefully one day my kids will be able to look back at some of the memories that I have shared:)</p><p>So I will start off easy...here are a few pics (not in any particular order) from the past year and our 2021 year in review letter. I sent this out to family last month, so many have already read this. Enjoy!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiN16b_JkMRXlc93GWKkyv-chVsPn7LgPjTObCBDGt76fsb1nsGK3Gqm8dCg_5GBgFmWq63SDu_wBwPrTrujAOUoij4rkjjXlJvezQoG169Psc2emzV-NzN2F-eSCk7au0Uhz0HPilDxBH9-OKzysCvqlBzsrU2yQwmAb_Qrl5b8NnNY5_5ggekwXNHng=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em;

<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 11px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;">I hope this Christmas letter finds you well! We have had an eventful 2021 with our crew, so I thought I would write a letter to keep everybody in the loop as to what we have been up to!</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 11px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;">Sean: Sean started year eight at Hornady Ammunition. He has gotten into Precision Rifle long distance shooting, so has traveled quite a bit for different competitions. He also had a successful turkey hunt in Colorado and deer hunt in Missouri. He is working on mastering his recurve bow. </span></p>

<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;">Julie: I have stayed busy with the kids. I started year sixteen with homeschooling. It starts at birth right?! I still teach three classes every week on Outschool- an online teaching platform. I also teach two National Archery in the Schools classes and have 39 students this year! I still have my side business of making shirts and decals lets me release a little bit of creativity! This fall I went on a girls trip with a few friends to Waco, Texas and visited the Magnolia properties.</span></p>

<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;">Jocelyn: Jocelyn started her junior year of high school. She took 12 credit hours at our local community college, so she didn’t have any classes with me. Those classes have kept her extremely busy. She has enjoyed having a little freedom on her own, as she is now driving! She babysits for two different families and works part time teaching dance classes at her dance studio. She is still dancing and is taking seven classes. This year she will be in a small group dance with two others girls. In January she is taking classes to get her CNA license. This past summer she went on her second travel camp adventure with the Christian Resource Center. She went to the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, and Bryce Canyon. </span></p>

She also still enjoys dancing and is in three senior classes this year. Kate is looking forward to dancing at the senior showcase this year in Minnesota. She also likes organizing and cleaning things—when it is her idea.:) I can always count on her knowing where things are at in our house. She is officially the second tallest in our family—she just passed me! She enjoys babysitting, hanging out with her friends, and baking things.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 11px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;">Easton: Easton is now in seventh grade. He enjoys playing football and air soft rifle with his friends. He is shooting archery this year for our NASP program and our club. This past year he enjoyed going fishing and hunting with Sean. He also learned to ski on water and on snow! He also tried out a new summer church camp called Timberlake. He had a great time there and made a few new friends. </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 11px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;">Weston: Weston started 5th grade. He enjoys the same activities as Easton. In addition to those activities, he played soccer for the Y and really enjoyed that. Weston dabbled in snowboarding, but liked skiing better. Weston also went to church camp and had a great time. This fall he made the decision to get baptized! </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 11px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;">Landon: Landon started Kindergarten this year. He is starting to really enjoy school and is learning how to read! He seems more interested in numbers though! Landon enjoys playing with his friends, swimming, riding his bike, and playing in the yard. He has started shooting in our kids league at our local archery range. This year Landon is attending a kids community Bible study with me. He absolutely loves it and counts down to going each week.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 11px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;">We had many adventures as a family this year! We traveled to Missouri three times to visit Sean’s family and to enjoy a little time at Bull Shoals lake. The kids learned to wake board and ski this summer. They also enjoyed tubing. We went to Silver Dollar City in Branson a few times as well. </span></p>

<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;">Our big vacation this year was going to Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, and the Grand Tetons. It was a big trip for us, but absolutely fantastic! We saw so many amazing things along the way from waterfalls, to hot springs, bears, buffalo, moose, and elk! We can’t wait to visit again and do some more exploring!</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 11px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-small;">We hope all of our friends and family has had a great year! </span></p>

But...we made it!</font><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">Kate got a wisdom tooth out, we got new carpet, the kids had archery, dance, soccer, and PE. We are also mentoring a new engaged couple before their big day! I love doing that with Sean!!</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">We also made a trip to Lincoln for Joc to find a dress for a formal. I realized we are not related by blood. She is not thrifty like me!!</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><div><font face="Helvetica">Oh we also did do school! Amongst all of the craziness my older four can pretty much get most of their school done without me being around. I do have to nag two of them a gazillion times to actually turn things in...one of these days I am hoping to not have to do that. Some how they forget that we actually turn in assignments😬</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">The kids have also squeezed in a variety of Outschool classes. Jocelyn is really liking her watercolors class and has moved on to session 2 for it. She is also taking a study skills class...which I am hoping she is finding useful. She would probably disagree with that!</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">Katelyn even tried a class...even though she said she never would...so progress!!!</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">Landon is still Landon. He has little to no interest in school so I have to force him a bit or we just play games. I am good with that. He is still so little!</font></div></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">Here are a few random pictures from the past few weeks!</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">This current week is all about friends!!!

So if I can, I try to tag along with him to the Shot Show in Vegas. He is crazy busy with meetings all day and dinners in the evenings. I am totally ok with the alone time during the day. I can sleep in and do tasks where I am not interrupted a gazillion times. </font><div><font face="Helvetica">Last year my best friend, Mary, flew in to spend my 40th birthday with me! We took a helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon! It was amazing.</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">This year I spent the day at the spa and got a massage. It was heavenly!</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">Some other highlights were going to Top Golf. Quiet the place!

Anyone struggle with getting back into routine after taking a few weeks off from school? </font><div><font face="Helvetica">I felt super focused and was ready to get back into the swing of things. The kids....not so much!</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">I was a mean mom and even made a few unnamed children finish on a Saturday. Gasp!

I am toying with the idea of blogging again. I am not sure anyone reads blogs anymore, but I figure the internet isn’t going away anytime soon and blogging was my way of scrapbooking for our kids. My last real blog post was three years ago. Yikes! </font><div><font face="Verdana"><br></font><div><font face="Verdana">I stopped blogging for a few reasons...some that I won’t discuss. I can say that life also got busy. Homeschooling five kiddos takes a lot of time...but teaching is what I love to do, so I am not complaining. This is the stage of life we are in. As the kids get older it seems our stages shift.</font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana">Teaching a high schooler is a bit more challenging as now things really count, so I really stay on top of her more so than I used to.</font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana">I am back to teaching a preschooler as well! Most days he could care less...but when he does want to learn we have fun! We have only made it to the letter M in the past two years...so that is progress right?! </font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana">Our 5th and 7th grader rarely need me schoolwise. I just give them their daily assignments and they go to town. Our 3rd grader is getting there with some subjects. He gets distracted easily, so I set the timer for 45 minutes. He works and then gets a break to play. If I don’t, his schoolwork drags out all day!</font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana">I stay busy obviously with homeschooling, as I mentioned. I also am heading into year four with my business <a href="http://www.facebook.com/customitemsforyou" id="id_e7e3_1a6c_fbe_896a">Create</a> I love making shirts and decals for people. My hubs asked me the other day how much business (moneywise) I have made since I started. My mark-up is not that high as I feel like I am gifting a little bit to each customer...but I have made well over 1000 items...maybe 2000...I don’t keep track. All of my business proceeds go into a vacation fund. I like to take the kids on special trips in pairs...this next one will be just our boys. I have also treated Sean to an Alaskan cruise. I have worked since I was sixteen with many different types of start-ups...I just like doing something that is my own...and is fun at the same time. The minute it stops being fun...I will start a different business!</font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana">Well I have gone on...Hopefully I will write again soon!</font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana">Thanks for reading!</font></div><div><font face="Verdana">(Mom:))</font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana">Ps...I am not the best writer..so pardon all of the errors!</font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana">Here are a few pics of the kids from Christmas morning.</font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><img id="id_a61_c6f0_fc44_7ec9" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/AeVQX1DMCGzbYw2ksHndTAJq1QMJv7zR5W9x-fdZuI9pFBNPfHu9Onrm5j4" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 351px; height: auto;"></font><br><br><img id="id_3d43_17da_64fc_eb3e" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/NgM4ZqNuJrSWaia4hNJH3Q83K6XDJChm7gvaml2mlT3O9J1qhPcRXPdVD8Y" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 315px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_5a6f_7a52_a739_6468" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/PMIXzvG1HbiwWk8nINOaNo12OyXvGvFfZTlJ5CI6KQLBI80r1xqyfRxArHw" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 317px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_7dd0_e1c2_373f_31e0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/QlBGUK7rYVh8V_SOOgI-ny5tu94O5Ch_b-M0cpJcu96opb4FFj8Qre4pGqU" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 345px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_e3a5_de04_16e6_ffd0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ghu4EKMGrlbv3M9aEyHdRadI6EMvNjBszT4hxPDNut_OuFBmgjAyTn8yAPA" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 351px; height: auto;"><br><br><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>gigglesandgumballshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15106279461927907437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982436002744368794.post-21379551998711355312018-06-15T13:29:00.005-05:002018-06-15T13:57:29.346-05:00The Keto Way<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Hello Friends!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">As I mentioned in my Facebook
post, I am NOT an expert by any means on the keto eating way.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I am just sharing what has worked for myself,
my husband, and my sister.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>My husband
has lost almost 30 lbs since January (he cheats quiet a bit, my sister lost 31
in 2 months, and I am at 10 lbs in 2 months.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>I have lost weight all over…according to my husband.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "segoe ui emoji" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">😊</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I also have
a ton more energy! I have only taken 2 naps since I have started…which is
REALLY good for me!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The idea of keto is to
eat a good combination of protein and fats and very little carbs.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Many people use a tracking ap.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I tried carbmanager and really liked it,
however I am horrible at tracking things.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>It was really eye opening though.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>It would be helpful to use for anyone that likes that kind of
thing.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>If you are just starting out I would
highly recommend doing this to see how you are doing as far as the combination of
all three of those areas are going.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">There are many keto
websites out there.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I stumbled across <a href="http://www.ketovale.com/"><span style="color: #0563c1;">www.ketovale.com</span></a>.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>She has some great recipes, an easy to
follow menu-plan, and a basic explanation of what keto is.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There is also a check-list of foods to avoid
and foods to enjoy!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Breads, pastas, chips,
sugary drinks, rice, cereals, juices are a no no.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There are more, so check out their list.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Things I forgot that had sugar—ketchup, BBQ
sauce, and candied beets.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Darn!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I would highly recommend reading over this
site.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Click on all of the pages.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Use this as your study guide and cheat
sheet!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I still do after 2 months!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It looks like she is trying to sell her book
or something…but you do not have to buy anything!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">As with any time you
change the way you eat for the positive and then change back into your old
habits you will gain the weight back.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So
this is really a life style change in the way you eat.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>You cheat…you will see the scale go in the
direction that you don’t want it to move.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>I have had bad days.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Eating a
half bag of kettle corn popcorn set me back a few days.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Yikes!<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Also do not weigh your self during the week that you are on your
period.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>You will not be pleased with
what you see…so don’t do it!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">I am probably pickier
than most!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I personally do not care for
peppers, onions, and I don’t eat a lot of vegetables.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Broccoli and spinach are my go to’s!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">2 pieces of bacon, an
ham, egg, and cheese omelet. I dip my eggs in a spoonful of gauc and sour
cream. Keeps me full until around 1pm or so. I usually force myself to eat
around noon though because of schedules.</span></div>

leftovers...Most days I eat around 8 green olives, small gherkin pickles
wrapped with cream cheese, a cheese-stick and I dip it in spoonful of guac.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Other days I may add a
hard boiled egg or two and skip the cream cheese and ham.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">If I want to mix it up I

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><b>Chicken & Spinach w
Bacon</b></span></div>
<b></b><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">One of our favorites. We
leave out the onions though and most of the time substitute the cream cheese
for whipping cream. We also tend to add broccoli if we have it on hand. I have
tried this version and it is great as well. Peeled shrimp and sliced up
sausages are also great! I make a similar variation at least once a week.</span></div>

An online New Year Letter from our Family to Yours!:)<br />
<br />
This year has been filled with many exciting events for our household! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As Sean and I were looking back the other day we are amazed at how much we squeezed into one year with five kiddos in tow!
Sean is still busy with his job at Hornady Manufacturing where he is the Director of Operations. He oversees manufacturing and really enjoys what he does. He spent a week hunting in Southern Missouri with Easton and Weston. They killed a buck, and the boys are proudly displaying the antlers in their room! He was also in three different archery leagues over the course of the year and has enjoyed spending time at the archery club here in town. Sean’s mother, Karen, passed away in October. Our family appreciated everyone’s kindness during that time.<br />

Jocelyn turned 11 this summer and started 6th grade! She has developed a love for shooting archery. She is very competitive and has enjoyed winning a few competitions this past year. She was selected as the shooter of the year for our counties 4-H program and received Grand Champion for Archery! She played soccer at the beginning of the year, but has switched gears and is now in dance. When not shooting archery and dancing around, she enjoys crafting, baking, cooking, hanging out with friends, and playing with her baby brother.

Like Jocelyn she also loves archery and dancing. She is not the most coordinated person, but we have been really impressed at how she did at their first dance recital. She worked so hard and did so well! She has also done great at several archery tournaments. She played softball over the summer. In her free-time she enjoys cooking gourmet egg recipes and baking mug cakes, crafting, hanging out with friends, talking, reading, and making slime!

Easton turned 7 and is in the 2nd grade! He loves building anything he can think of with his Legos and K’nex pieces. He amazes me as to what he creates. He is my “Johnny on the spot” and is always around to help with whatever needs to get done. He is such a hard worker, I miss him when he is not around! He also loves archery and has become quite good at it. He played soccer and baseball this past year and really enjoyed those sports. <br />

Weston turned 6 last month and is in Kindergarten! He is learning how to read and is doing great at addition and subtraction in school. He is our shy one, but when he gets to talking, he never stops! He played soccer this past year and has developed a love for swimming. He has taken a while to get used to use shooting archery, but over these past few weeks he has improved by leaps and bounds—and is hitting the target on most shots! In his free-time he loves doing bike stunts, roller blading, playing with Lego people, playing with friends, and going on bike rides.

Landon turned one in October! He has been a delight and is such a good baby! He is a little spitfire though and keeps us on our toes. He is always on the go and it seems like he never stops! He loves food, shooting his play bows, sweeping, playing ball, and playing with his brothers and sisters!<br />
<br />
I am busy with homeschooling the kids and keeping the house running. I started my third year coordinating a Christian homeschool co-op! It is a lot of work, but a lot of fun in return. I also learned how to shoot a bow and had a wonderful time shooting in various 3-D shoots around Nebraska. In my free-time….Oh wait…what free-time! I wouldn’t trade staying home with the kiddos for anything! <br />
<br />
This past year was a year of discovering a new activity for the kids and me. It is fun to have something to do as a family! We also enjoyed a vacation in Colorado, a trip to a Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas, and lots of various fun things scattered throughout! <br />
<br />
We have been blessed this past year and cannot thank our Lord Jesus Christ enough for providing us with a daily assurance, that even though we enjoy (for the most part) our life here <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
on Earth that something better is waiting for us.<br />
<br />
For by HIS GRACE we are SAVED through FAITH in our LORD JESUS CHRIST!
<br />

We joined our Science museum again and the kids have enjoyed some of the homeschool classes over the past two months. We took a year off from these classes, because they are kind of pricey if you are not a member.

This past week the class was about levers, pivots, and catapults. Each child made a little catapult and had a paper ball war at the end. It was a great time.

Some days we do school on the road...like spend the day at the Science Center doing Science or doing home-ec like making gingerbread houses and cleaning! We do actual school as well, but I haven't taken very many pics. I did have a flashback moment of my keyboard teaching days...I was giving Easton a verbal keyboard test and had him cover his hands while typing. He did pretty good on the test!

We really timed his birth during the wrong time of year because it is always around Thanksgiving...but we did our best to celebrate!
Weston was my brown hair little baby eskimo. I had wanted a brown headed child...and I got it! He was a chunky, monkey--weighing in at 11 lbs!
He is our shy little guy out in public--but trust me he does talk...and is full of stories. He loves playing with legos, doing bike tricks, rollerblading, playing with his brother and friends, hunting, and shooting archery.
He wanted cupcakes and a lego tower decorated with lego people--so that is what he did.

Thanks to my parents, sister, cousin Theresa, and aunts Nan and DeeDee for coming out. Should have taken pics of everyone! I always remember after the fact! We enjoyed chili dogs and husker football...and of course cupcakes!
Can't believe my baby is already one...and almost 13 months!

Things are starting to calm down here, so my goal is to get caught up on my blog over the next few days!
We finished our Fall co-op session a little over a week ago! As usual it is a whirlwind of activity over those 6 weeks! Is it weird that I secretly want to sit in on all of our co-op classes? I have had the honor of coordinating the co-op for our Families of Christ United in Schooling group for the past 2 1/2 years. It is a lot of work to pull everything together, but without the help of all of the other families, things just wouldn't get done! This semester we have 28 families and 94 kids!
My kids each took two different classes. Weston took Seven Days of Creation and Backyard games. Jocelyn took Art History and Wars of the Past. Katelyn took American Girl History and Drive Thru History. Easton took Recycled Art and Science Experiments. I was not able to make it into all of the classes and capture all of their fun activities, but here is a brief photo recap of my kiddos!

We were blessed with Landon Owen at 8:33PM one year ago today! He weighed 10 lb 4 oz and was 22 1/2 inches in length. He has grown like a weed since then and is already in 18-24 month clothes!
He is such a fun little guy! He loves playing with all of his siblings and his dad. He likes to wrestle, eat, pretend to shoot a bow, play with toy guns, and little cars. He loves to run outside and throw balls. He also loves giving hugs and waving to people!
He is extremely busy and keeps us on our toes. He loves to climb onto tables, up bookshelves, and any chance he gets he heads upstairs or downstairs to see what he can get into next.
I joked with people that Landon would never learn to crawl or walk because of being doted on non-stop by his other mommies (our girls), however he was by far our earliest crawler at 5 months and walker at 9 months. I guess he felt like he needed to try to keep up with everyone else.
We haven't taken him to the doctor in a while, but according to our scale he weighs around 23 lbs and is 32 inches tall! He is the 100% percentile for growth and weight! Yikes!
We are celebrating his birthday on Saturday! Hoping a few family members can make it!

Do not get me wrong we have our bad days where I want to rip my hair out...but lately our good days have outweighed our bad! I love having more relaxed days of not being tied down to a strict schedule. I love our new rotating schedule where we do not cover all subject every day. I love that I can go at the pace of each of our kids and do activities catered to their own learning strategies.
We have played a lot of games, done quiet a few science experiments, and I have learned quiet a few things right along with our kiddos! Love that I can repeat the 6th grade:)
Here are a few pics of our past month!

If you live in Nebraska and have never been, you should check it out at least once! We always have so much fun! It always starts the weekend before Labor Day and concludes on Labor Day. </p><p>This year we broke up our visit into 3 major trips and then 2 concerts. You could really do the entire fair in one day, but with the baby and different friends joining us for various things, we did it this way.</p><p> This post is a major picture overloaded post!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P2J-i1tDIE4/V8za1t4YH3I/AAAAAAAAMtk/aqWWLSvmJp4/s1024/Photo%25252020160904213852126.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P2J-i1tDIE4/V8za1t4YH3I/AAAAAAAAMtk/aqWWLSvmJp4/s500/Photo%25252020160904213852126.jpg" id="blogsy-1473043498441.6992" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="401" height="401"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SWvzNaTDBBU/V8za3P4LQfI/AAAAAAAAMto/38u4CUBvsoI/s1024/Photo%25252020160904213852328.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SWvzNaTDBBU/V8za3P4LQfI/AAAAAAAAMto/38u4CUBvsoI/s500/Photo%25252020160904213852328.jpg" id="blogsy-1473043498350.7507" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="417" height="312"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We always start off our day at the Nebraska Game and Parks exhibit.

Just because my kids are doing something does not mean your kids should be doing the same. A few friends have asked what we do in our homeschool...so here it is.**</p><p> I love summer! Love it! But all good things must come to an end....just kidding! I also love teaching and I love being able to homeschool our kiddos! Do not get me wrong...our kids sometimes drive me nuts. A little extra free time for just me would be nice. Our house is a bit messier on days that we school. I am pretty much always with our kids. I don't get to take the going off to school pictures with me jumping up leaping for excitement that my kids are out of my hair and my sanity can return. </p><p>We are on day two of our official homeschool year. Granted, it seems like we are always learning something new, but I like to have an official start and end date. I am now teaching a 6th grader, 4th grader, 2nd grader, and a kindergartener. I also have a little tike running around and getting into everything...thank goodness for naps in the morning and afternoon! </p><p>My two oldest girls do the exact same thing as each other everyday. You can call it sixth grade you can call it preschool. Haha. We keep grades for activity purposes, but we just go with the flow at their learning abilitiies. Thank gooness we do not have to teach towards a test. I am sure our kids would be ahead in some areas and behind in others as I tend to stagger some subjects on a yearly basis. </p><p>I decided over the summer that we needed to have a more relaxed schedule and get out more. I don't want to stress about getting thru a book, but dive deeper into the books that we do use. What is the point at skimming the surface if they aren't retaining it?</p><p>I am using a rotating type schedule where we do some of the same subjects everyday and then others we do every 4th day of school. No days are attached as we do take a lot of time off for other things such as field trips, co-ops, and various other classes and activities. </p><p>My girls have the same schedule. Easton our 2nd grader and Weston our Kindergartner, do a few things with us like Bible time, prayer, working out, some Science, and writing. Easton is doing cursive with the girls and Weston is just continuing to practice his writing of letters and words from his reading.</p><p>What curriculum do I use? </p><p>For the girls' Science we use 6th Grade Abeka. Math we use 6th grade Bob Jones. The girls have no Spelling curriculum as we are pulling words from their writing. For writing we are using Write Source. We are using Story of the World 2 for History. </p><p>For the girls Math, I plan on teaching them one lesson on Monday and have them write their weekly assignments down. They will have to pace themselves to get their assignments completed by a deadline.</p><p>For Easton, I use 3rd grade Math from Bob Jones, Geography from Evan Moore, and the Bible reader from Abeka.</p><p>Weston's reading and spelling comes from Hooked on Phonics and he does the same Geography as Easton. I do my own math and he is just adding, subtracting, and doing easy things.</p><p>My goal this year is to go outside for school more and get out of the house more. So we shall see! </p><p>We are reading more as a group. I am going through the book "Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends." Sometimes my kids fight like cats and dogs...so maybe this will help as it is given from a Biblical perspective. We are also reading in the afternoon together.</p><p>Some fun things planned for this week such as doing Science in the woods and heading to the lake one afternoon for school...and to Omaha to see my parents!! </p><p>Here are a few pics from our first two days!</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-puLESBVZG3Q/V7OsnVTOySI/AAAAAAAAMrs/Bor7s88Z9to/s1024/Photo%25252020160816191517331.jpg" target="_blank" style=" "><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-puLESBVZG3Q/V7OsnVTOySI/AAAAAAAAMrs/Bor7s88Z9to/s500/Photo%25252020160816191517331.jpg" id="blogsy-1471393167359.1667" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="375"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Starting off with prayer because it works!</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ixqC6Wy_gDA/V7OsodeGjrI/AAAAAAAAMrw/Hlszu2ii878/s1024/Photo%25252020160816191517484.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ixqC6Wy_gDA/V7OsodeGjrI/AAAAAAAAMrw/Hlszu2ii878/s500/Photo%25252020160816191517484.jpg" id="blogsy-1471393167323.974" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="423" height="564"></a></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0ntdtgK89fY/V7OspeQcfNI/AAAAAAAAMr0/YcQCJQt7c6g/s1024/Photo%25252020160816191517618.jpg" target="_blank" style=" "><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0ntdtgK89fY/V7OspeQcfNI/AAAAAAAAMr0/YcQCJQt7c6g/s500/Photo%25252020160816191517618.jpg" id="blogsy-1471393167293.575" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="405" height="540"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">All smiles!

She is my easy going, extremely helpful little, big girl. Yikes! She is a few years away from being a teenager! She loves anything that has to do with art, archery, dancing, gymnastics, friends, and her American Girl dolls. </p><p>We aren't doing parties for the kids this year, because we are hoping to have a big one for Landon when he turns one, so her birthday was low key. This past week we met a few friends at the pool and I took her out to lunch with my sister. Sean took both of the girls out to a hibachi grill for lunch for a nicer combo lunch. </p><p>She decorated her own birthday cake with a few friends and got her dream gift--a retired Kanani American Girl doll. This hopefully completes their collection of recent girl of the years....ugh. </p><p>On her actual birthday (today) we are shooting in an archery tournament and going to a back to school picnic with ohr homeschool group! Can't wait to see her continue to grow!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eifJ0FI2vP8/V6-3dk_SRNI/AAAAAAAAMrI/NPvHcGgy-u8/s1024/Photo%25252020160813191233089.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eifJ0FI2vP8/V6-3dk_SRNI/AAAAAAAAMrI/NPvHcGgy-u8/s500/Photo%25252020160813191233089.jpg" id="blogsy-1471133580208.1636" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="414" height="552"></a></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Vl44ECiipPs/V6-3eobpXPI/AAAAAAAAMrM/vuLdVbaM8ZE/s1024/Photo%25252020160813191233243.jpg" target="_blank" style=" "><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Vl44ECiipPs/V6-3eobpXPI/AAAAAAAAMrM/vuLdVbaM8ZE/s500/Photo%25252020160813191233243.jpg" id="blogsy-1471133580255.9397" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="667"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">She had a few friends from church come over.</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3XxyYYfzKuk/V6-3fka3eMI/AAAAAAAAMrQ/x85EGzAdvPU/s1024/Photo%25252020160813191233396.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3XxyYYfzKuk/V6-3fka3eMI/AAAAAAAAMrQ/x85EGzAdvPU/s500/Photo%25252020160813191233396.jpg" id="blogsy-1471133580234.0615" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="400" height="534"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zYQXygQtkeM/V6-3g_t4vHI/AAAAAAAAMrU/0yF652a0gBg/s1024/Photo%25252020160813191233563.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zYQXygQtkeM/V6-3g_t4vHI/AAAAAAAAMrU/0yF652a0gBg/s500/Photo%25252020160813191233563.jpg" id="blogsy-1471133580277.2114" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="395" height="528"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NlkocvQuaaQ/V6-3h33NzPI/AAAAAAAAMrY/IBk12MXzelg/s1024/Photo%25252020160813191233698.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NlkocvQuaaQ/V6-3h33NzPI/AAAAAAAAMrY/IBk12MXzelg/s500/Photo%25252020160813191233698.jpg" id="blogsy-1471133580273.9465" class="aligncenter" width="360" height="481" alt=""></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lzgS28GxxWs/V6-3i3ltvNI/AAAAAAAAMrc/iwfAy138uc4/s1024/Photo%25252020160813191233866.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lzgS28GxxWs/V6-3i3ltvNI/AAAAAAAAMrc/iwfAy138uc4/s500/Photo%25252020160813191233866.jpg" id="blogsy-1471133580226.9668" class="aligncenter" width="392" height="524" alt=""></a></div><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>gigglesandgumballshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15106279461927907437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982436002744368794.post-47855255036409925182016-07-22T08:44:00.001-05:002016-07-22T08:44:42.686-05:00My baby girl turned 9 today!<p> My Katelyn Rose turned 9 today! She has been counting down this day for the past year...so I am relieved the day is finally here...even though I know the countdown just starts over tomorrow. Oh well! It is her favorite day of the year. </p><p>We aren't doing birthday parties this year and instead having a "special" one one one day. Trying something new, so we will see how this goes. </p><p>Katelyn loves getting mail via snail mail, text, or e-mail. So if you need her info, let me know. It would totally make her day even special!</p><p>Here are few pics of my baby girl from birth to 9 years!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5qwphFRW7I4cNGyNYTvxfw0jkWLQaLlAsuQwHvP9BpIr4hGJmD7MptTrJHT1kcpekFOeDmfEs_zzocTeKvTgRY0dijoKakohSPVrVuKPTjzTsCx9_Zu2cqf8s9F_B-QoDMfMO13zu6pKl/s400/Photo%25252020160722084406717.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em;
