Oh my! It's been way too long..........

I had the opportunity to take 2 of my kiddos to a fabulous summer dance camp in Indianapolis this past week. We all got to meet some superstars and my girls got to take dance class from them! The camp offered lots of fun activities for the kids "after hours" such as movie night, game night, and even synchronized swimming!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I am most thankful for these things. First, I am thankful for my mom and dad because they are my family. Next, I am thankful for my dog Sadie because she loves me and she is fun to play with. Last, I am thankful for God and Jesus because they help me do my work. Thanksgiving is a special time to be thankful for these things. written by Rianna Schultz, 2nd grade

NYC - How spectacular!!!!!

We had such a great time on our 4 day, girls only trip to The City!

From the top of the Empire State Building

"Sam & Ella"

"Sam & Ella" were playing lots of nasty games in Jaden's belly! Poor little guy! He missed a whole week of school already and had to be hospitalized to treat the dehydration. I don't usually scare easily, but this really scared me! I felt so helpless watching my son just lay there, writhing in pain, and having to get up to the bathroom every 30 minutes. Thankfully, he has rounded the corner and is starting to eat again!
The doctors have thoughts that he acquired this nasty Salmonella bug by touching the reptiles at the Aquarium at the City Museum in St. Louis, when we visited just a few days before school started. That is the only connection to the bug; and the delay in symptoms was probably due to not actually eating large amounts, but rather contracting only a few organisms through the brief contact.

I can't wait 'til he is eating us out of the house again, LOL!

I had to get me some......

I am unbelievably hooked.........

on the Twilight Series. I cannot put these books down!



Honestly, I have never read anything so captivating! I am on book 3 of 4 and I just started reading the series 1 week ago! Last night, hubby and I watched the Twilight movie. It was a very good movie, but it just skims the main points of the first book. You HAVE to read the books!

The Wedding

Here are just a few pics from last weekend. Our batteries went dead very early into the weekend.
