Double Digits Baby!

It was a big one for Drew. A decade old, double digits. We had a fun weekend celebrating our Drewbug. There were treats for his class, dinner at Red Robin, the traditional doughnut cake, and presents on the big day. The next day we took Drew and 4 of his friends to see an Iowa Wild game. Drew loves to be with his friends, talking about sports, and watching sports. It was a fun afternoon with those cute boys.

Krispy Kreme done right.

Go Iowa Wild!

Somethings about Drew at 10:
- he is incredibly intelligent- he can read and comprehend way beyond his years and numbers come easy
- he is thoughtful about what he wants
-he is determined - he practices sports outside in cold weather all on his own, because no one will go out to play with him due to the frigid Iowa winter and he practices piano usually two or more times per day without any one asking
-he is stubborn - although Drew is quiet, if he doesn't want to do something he will hold his ground
- he gets things done
-he is my amazing helper, if he sees that I am struggling, he takes action
-he still cuddles
-he is so good with his little brother and watches out for him and he is also the peacemaker of the three older
-he is organized
-he has a quick wit, and it is intelligent wit, once again, beyond his years

Happy 10th Year!

Stories to Share

I wanted a little space to share funny everyday happenings. So this is it ---

Dec. 3, '11 -- John Deere Water Chile had invited the John Deere Financial Chile employees and families to join them for their Holiday celebration. We traveled to the event which was about a 45 minute drive to a place we had never been to before. We took several detours prior to arriving and it was this day that Easton began to say "RECALCULATING". Sounds funny come from him instead of from Hailey, which is the name of the female voice on the GPS.

Nov. 14, '11 -- After arriving in Santiago and a long flight on Sunday, we were trying to get settled in our new home. We went to the grocery store to get the necessities and upon our return Easton declared the following. "I am not getting out of the car. this is not my house."

Sep. 21, '08 -- Then tonight we sat down and Mason announced that Mark needed to be president so that he could get all the candy he wanted for free. Priorities, priorities, priorities.

Aug. 12, '08 -- Yesterday I was doing laundry, seperating the clothes, and as I was checking pockets I pulled out a little stone from Drew's pants. This is one of my favorite things to pull out of my kids pants. I am always amazed and awed by my children. They find happiness in the things that I pass by everyday and fail to notice. The little things in life count and as I pull those rocks out of my kids pockets I am reminded just how much joy there is to find in this life. Thank you to my children and the inspiration they give me!

Jun. 19, '08 -- So I was upstairs and I heard Dallin and Drew go out into the garage. I went out there and they were playing in the car. I told them to get out and come inside. I then proceeded to tell them that the car was not a toy and to not go out there and play. Dallin looks at me and says, " Mom, it's a "TOY"ota Sienna, with a huge emphasis on the toy part. Really, a six year old should not be able to come up with that kind of comeback. I just laughed....

You had to have seen the Disney movie Cars to really appreciate this. So I'm running into the grocery store with the kids and as I am about to go inside Dallin and Drew stop and start pointing to something, while jumping up and down, laughing, and screaming "Fred! Mom it's Fred! Fred!" A couple of seconds later this large Ford Bronco that obviously weathered MANY Iowa winters and salt on the roads drives by. It is rusted all over, the place above the wheels no longer exists due to all the rust eating it away. The men in the Bronco had their windows down and just waved at the boys. I'm not sure they had any idea why my kids were so excited to see their car. I just laughed out loud! (Fred happens to be an extremely rusty car that is one of the main character's fans)
