The end of July

We rode our bikes a lot this summer, and for some reason I love it...
The kids and I also went down to my sister's new place in Helena Mt. We had a blast and the kids love being together... It also helps that there is a beach... And a boat...

July 2016 week1&2

This year at the first we had a big dinner and dance at the meadows with the cousins. The kids loved it, so did the grown ups...
The next week Abbey went to girls camp, so we took the boys camping too... But we came home with an extra friend.
That's right we got a dog! A chocolate lab named Booker. He was only 10lbs when he came home. So cute and little!!

May and June 2016

I love spring! We play at the meadows, hit up calaway park and this year the kids started golf!
Abbey became an official teenager. So we skipped school for a mani/pedi and a burger... Then she had a party with some friends!
Jeff and I also lives it up big with some monster mini golf and fat burger... So delish.

More and more and more...

Bauers birthday is in April, he had a jungle book birthday, they went and saw the live action jungle book and ate jungle cake...
He is obsessed with gorillas, and there was a new baby gorilla at the zoo. One of the teachers At school got him 2 tickets for him to go see it!
We did some hiking at big hill springs.
I finished a wardrobe, and went to time out for women with some friends...
Oh and the boys for triple bunks, just like Griffy always wanted!

And some more

At Easter we had a big whitehead family dinner, we ate yummy food, we decorated eggs, played games and had an Easter egg hunt. It turned out really well and was fun! And then the Easter bunny hit our house again on Easter Sunday.... And the kids all looked cute in their Sunday best.
Griff was in his first choir concert.
There was Lego played, scooters to scoot on and of course conference treats to eat while watching... This year Darth Vader joined our family.

The good old days

I have forgotten about this old blog of ours, but I found it last night and loved looking back at everything. So here I go again...
It ended with an update from Nov 2015, so I'll write what I remember...
December of 2015 was a dark month for us, we lost another baby about mid December... In the midst of all the Christmas concerts and performances, I was sick and tired, thankfully I have family and amazing friends who picked up my slack... I'm sure Christmas was fun, but my phone crashed and I had to get a new one and lost all Dec pics... Moving on
So in January Jeff and I decided we needed a much needed get away. Thank heaven for parents who will babysit and have a condo in the az for us to chill in.

We ate, slept, ate, toured, ate and went to a ball game. A lovely time was had by all!

Deacon had a Starwars party with his friends (cousins)....

Griffy had his 11th bday with friends...

We did the Drum again...

That covers Jan and Feb..

November 2015

 When did my kids get so big?! We got the kids school pictures back and all of the sudden I have teens, tweens, a big kid and my baby that is actually a preschooler.

 I can't remember much from November. The big boys got to participate in their Remembrance day assembly, Griff got to help with the flag ceremony, and Bauer got to place a poppy on the memorial cross.  Abbey also sang in her schools choir.  It was so nice to see the kids be part of this.  

The rest of November is a blur.... everybody took a turn being sick, I got it the worst and had to take the whole month off from work. It was a looong brutal month!
