Spring has Sprung 2014

Life is busy.

My heart is full.

I wouldn't have it any other way!

Now that the weather is finally starting to break into a nicer warmer pattern, the family is feeling more motivated to be out and about every day  Praise God! 

Life is great here!  The kids are mid way through their school year and just completed spring break last week.  The first half of the year has gone by so quickly.  We had band concerts and performances, vocal performances and programs, football for Austin & Jonathon.  Immediately afterwards, Austin and Jonathon started basketball.  Austin went on to play a second traveling basketball team as well.  We've had a very short lull in the sports but chaos has once again ensued and we are back at the busy pace we were in the fall. 

This spring, Katelyn is doing track.  Emilee is doing running club to prep for her first 5K this next month.  Jonathon is gearing up to start baseball and Austin will be beginning baseball this week as well.  Jacob continues to work on his education and has been contacting local area farmers to see about a part time job as well.  He has grown into such an amazing 16 year old.  It's hard to believe he is that old!!

We have numerous things "in the works" right now that we aren't able to really discuss them fully yet.  As soon as we can, we will.  :) 

I hope this spring is treating each of you all well, happy and in good health. 

Summer is just around the corner.  Hold tight just a little bit longer....

Until then,

Many Blessings from us to you!!

Wise words from Emilee tonight.

Emilee's Quotes of the day that she would like to share with everyone.

You are braver than you believe.
Stronger than you seem.
And Smarter than you think.

A little spunk
A little sass
and more than a little magic

You must chose your own path. 
Friends and fun just go together.
I'm so happy I could bounce.
Giving up is for rookies.

The world is a magical place.
All you have to do is believe.

Life is too short to be serious.

Some people care too much.
I think it's called love.

Play hard...
Nap hard...

Why not believe in the fairy tails?

Stress...
What stress?

Wish Big

The more you like yourself the less you are like anyone else.  Which makes you unique.

Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one.

Leave the saving of the world up to men...
I don't think so... (girl)

If you can dream it, you can DO it!

It could be so nice if something made sense for a change.

Remember to savor the moment.

All of this has happened before and it will all happen again.

Reptiles...so small at first then look how they grow!

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

Another Day, Another discovery

A flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of them all.

Always let your conscience be your guide......

Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.
