The weather outside has indeed been frightful - and the kids wanted to play in it! They had a blast shoveling and playing in the mounds of snow we got! Ricki thought Nick was absolutely hilarious when he would throw snowballs at the ground around her. :) I also got my 2014 blog book in the mail! No time like the very end of the next year to order and receive a book! Now I will get to preserve these precious memories forever!

Our family had the wonderful opportunity again to go see Voice Male. Jenni is able to get us really good tickets because she does the online shipping for this group. They are amazingly talented and so entertaining to watch. I am glad we are able to go do things each year that really brings the Christmas spirit into our hearts and minds. I can't wait for Christmas!

We got to go to a mini personal showcase tonight for Kendra's gymnastics. She is SO flexible (as you can see in these pictures). Her teacher says that she is advancing very well but she needs to work on strength. She has the flexibility to do amazing tricks but she's just not quite strong enough. That may have a little something to do with the fact that she is so skinny! She's just skin and bones. No room for muscle or fat! :)

This was certainly a proud mamma week! Between watching Kendra's gymnastics performance, watching Zack in his preschool program, then seeing Nick in his 4th grade program, I was beaming at the joy my children are in my life! I am so thankful for them and for those that support us!

Happy birthday Grandpa Jim! Our family met up at Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Jim's for Little Caesar's dinner then cake, ice cream, and presents. We are so thankful for this wonderful man in our family and for all he does for our grandma. We love you Jim!

Gary and Alexis got in super late on Friday night so that we could have breakfast as a family the next morning. While we were sitting around visiting, a knock came at the door. Viv brought in a package that had a cute poem about pregnancy and then she opened the package to find this picture of Gary & Alexis. They are expecting a miracle baby in June! As if that wasn't information/emotional overload enough, they also announced that they knew the gender. We went outside and everyone sprayed Silly String at the same time to reveal that...IT'S A GIRL! My heart about burst when I found all this out. Our family has been praying for them non-stop with everything they have been through. This truly is a miracle and a huge blessing. We are SO happy for them!

Sunday dinner tonight was at my parent's house. Amie joined us and as I imported my pictures from my phone, I found this selfie gem of Amie and Nick. :)
Happy news!
