Going to try this again........

Well, it has only been about 4 years since I updated this. I am going to try this again. I enjoyed blogging, but with each new adventure with the children came less and less time to blog. Now that they are all in school, it should give me a little more time. At least that is what I thought last fall. Now, with working at the office, doing book work for a church and building my Young Living Essential Oils business, I feel I have less time than I did with them home. 

A littl run down on each child:
Megan is in 6th grade (YIKES) and is playing the drums in band. She is also taking piano lessons again this year. Speech Club and Knowledge Bowl are her two clubs of choice right now. She also participated in a Lego League this fall. It was a lot of fun. They had a malfunctioning robot so didn't do too well in competition, but got first is project and design. 

Madi is now in 4th grade. She likes school for one thing, her friends. She played soccer again this fall and had a new addition of having her mom as her coach. I may just be back next season for one more round! She decided she didn't want to play piano anymore this year. Not sure if she will do softball in the spring or not. She keeps saying no but she may change her mind. 

Mia is in 2nd grade and loves school. She hates to disappoint so I never get any bad reports home about her. She played softball last spring and I think she is planning on playing again this year. She is our little home body who never wants to leave. 

Eli is in Kindergarten this year. Hard to believe my baby is that old already. So far he is enjoying school. He has made lots of friends and loves to go to art and play on the playground. We are going to start bringing him to a local gym up here that will help with agility and all around sporting. Mama missed the cut off to get him signed up for wrestling, so this will have to do for this year. 

Adam stepped away from coaching 3 years ago. It was getting to difficult to balance that, the kids activities, the business and hunting. I have a feeling he hasn't hung it up for good yet. 

We bought a camper two years ago and have been enjoying taking the kids to different areas of the state. Two years ago we ventured to Wisconsin Dells for a week and last year we took them to Canada to visit friends for a week. Not sure where our adventures will take us this summer. Adam and I enjoy getting out on the motorcycle as much as possible. He rides daily if weather permits in the summer. Saves a lot on gas. 

Changes are coming for us. That is a all I can say for now. They are good changes though! I will try to update more often and get pictures on here soon!
