Tucker Chess Club 2011-2012

Tucker's Chess Club life is over.  With the program he is in, he will be going to a new school next year and they don't do Chess Club there.  He got to go out with a bang this year though and took home the trophy for 3rd Place in the 4th Grade!

He was very excited to have won this and he has loved Chess Club.

It's sad to see this part of his life over but maybe in Jr High he can get back into it.

Hello Beautiful

Too cute not to share. :0)

Cleaning the House

I have to do a big THANK YOU to my neighbor for coming to the rescue and letting me borrow her camera charger.  I am still going to have to order one of my own but for now I have a working camera and I can get the pictures off the camera.  I have put a ton of posts on my other blog with all the fun things I have been doing. You can check it out if you want. :0)

This weekend has been full of spring cleaning.  I have now gone through both of the children's rooms and thrown away a ton of things and have a huge bag for DI.  I need to go through the toy box down stairs still but I feel really good about what we have gotten done.

I really wish I had more pictures of our week.  Katy is trying to use the potty.  I happen to catch her at a really good time Sunday and she went in the potty!!  It has yet to happen again.  But she is enjoying sitting on it and she likes to think that she is a big girl.  I'm having high hopes for this summer.

We are just trying to stay busy at our house and can not wait for camping season!

Happy Birthday Norma Sue! March 18, 2012

This just happen to be the day that my camera ran out of batteries.  I got these few pictures.  I made Norma this crown to wear to church.  It is always hard to have your special day be on Sunday and have church get in the way of your fun. ;0)

I got these idea's from Pinterst. :0) and Loved how they turned out.  Winni helped me make this cupcake stand and I worked really hard on these cupcakes.  I know what I need to do different next time and I can not wait to use this stand again.

We had a big family dinner that night.  We had a house full. 22 people.  That is 3 less than what we thought would be here.  We fit everyone and I think it went really well.  When we went to do cupcakes, I had a cupcake with a candle in it for every one of the girls that had a birthday in March to blow out and sing too.  There were 6 with March birthdays. :0)

We got Norma a bike for her birthday.  I hoping that she can learn to ride it well this summer so that she can ride to school with Thad next year.  Here are a few pictures I got out of the camera before it turned off again.

Norma can not wait til we pump up her tires and she can just go.  She rode it around the house for a few days but now it is out of the house.  It was so crazy.  But I'm so glad she likes it.

Silly Girls March 15, 2012

 I was taking pictures of the crafts I had been working on and Katy came up to me saying, "Cheese!"  Well, I couldn't NOT take a picture of the cutie and her sister.

Norma is always a bit silly when the camera comes out.

 Then they got really silly.

 Katy had to look to see how to do it.  She is such a copy-cat now days.

 I know that they are blurry but I just love them and wanted to share.

What would I do without these girls!  Maybe have some peace and quiet but who really wants that. :0)

Missing Out

I have so much to catch up on and my camera is out of batteries and I can't find the charger.  This would be why I have not updated.  I can not tell you how upset I am that not only can't I get the pictures I've taken off my camera, I can't take any more!  I'm so sad!  So many things I want to take a picture of and I can't!

It will be two weeks before the new charger gets here so hold on and come back then cause I'll tell you now, I have a TON to post.  :0)
