Roxy

We are proud to introduce our newest addition, Roxy!!  Roxy was born 4/20/2013 and is a BEABULL..  She is part English bulldog, part beagle!  The kids just love her so much!!  

 

Jesse and I do too, but we are not loving the training stage...  It takes so much work...  It will be nice when she gets the hang of things! 
She is signed up for a puppy training class!  Petsmart offers training and it last 6 weeks, goodnews is if she doesn't learn in 6 weeks... they guarantee the class so she will get another 6 weeks free.. Jesse says this is a good thing because she is SO STUBBORN!  We will keep you posted! 

Happy Birthday.....

Yep today I am the big 32.... Do you have birthday request on your birthday? Maybe a certain food, cake, ect?
Mine are simple! I want home made cards (those are my fave, and I cherish them). A nice cooked dinner at home (no eating out). A nice family walk or outside game after dinner. And NO big birthday cake.... instead we will celebrate with low fat angel food cake and fresh strawberries without all that icing.... 

Simple Right? 

 

I love spending my birthday with the ones I love!! :) 

 

Fun times with Lily

We got the pleasure of spending time with my niece LILY this weekend :)  The kids had so much fun playing with her!  We rode the power toys, jumped on the trampoline, played ball, played barbies, and baby dolls!! 

 

 Oh, and caught a snail and named it Gary!  Austin had to do some research on it!! 

Our soccer stars

 

 

These are our three soccer stars!! 

 

 

 



Spring Soccer 2013

Saturday was Bodie Kale's last soccer game, and he was so excited for the end of the game...  Why?  Because he knew he would get a shiny medal!!  He is so proud of it!! 

And he made some awesome treat bags for his team that included: sunglasses, tattoos, mini notebooks, poppy things, gummies, and some little cookies! 

 

 

Jesse and I had so much fun coaching these awesome kids!  A plus is we had awesome, supportive, and patient parents!!  Such a great season, (even if most of our goals were scored in the wrong goal... we still counted them:)  Thanks so much for everything! 

 

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you amazing moms out there!!
Jesse and I are blessed with two lovely ladies we get to call MOM, Cindy Swartzentruber and Vicki Wise. 
Thanks for all you have done for us since birth, and continue to do for us!  We love you both very much! 

Today I am going to enjoy my Mother's Day by spending the day with my husband and kids!!  Sounds like a perfect day to me!!

The kids are enjoying the soccer season this Spring!  We have all three playing, and we are coaching all three teams...  Yep, we are crazy soccer parents!  Let me tell you it is hard work between getting all three practices ready, and game day!  We are usually at the field all morning with back to back games....  but we love it! 

 

 

Austin plays on the U13 Team, Hailee plays on U8, and Bodie plays PeeWee! 

Watch Out.... She's 7 now!

This little sweetie is now 7!! 

Where does time go?  Feels like just yesterday, Jesse and I were holding this sweet little girl in our arms... 

Happy 7th Birthday Hailee Brooke Swartzentruber aka Brooketini! 

 

Hailee's favorite color is BLUE!! Her favorite food this week is Mac and cheese (it changes everytime you ask her).  She loves watching Full House on TV!!  Her favorite toy is baby dolls (yes she has millions of them).  She loves to play xbox with her brothers!!  Oh and she loves to SHOP!!  (everyone says she takes after Auntie April).   She loves her clothes and shoes with all accessories!! 
We are so proud of you Hailee for the sweet little lady you are!  Hope you have a happy birthday!  Love you very much!

Look who is 13

Its hard to believe 13 years ago, I welcomed a sweet lil guy into the world and chose the name Austin!  He is such a blessing to Jesse and I.  We are so proud of the person that Austin has become!  Happy 13th Birthday Austin Michael Swartzentruber~ We all love you very much!

 

 

Austin loves to play soccer- that is his sport!  His favorite colors are RED, and PURPLE.  His favorite food is STEAK (from grandpa Bills cows) with A1 sauce! :)  He likes IU basketball, and Colts football! He loves ANIMALS of all kinds, and wants to rescue all of them and keep them... YIKES! 
He is really proud that he made A/B honor roll this year with the Connections Schooling Program.  He was close to getting all A's!  This really makes Jesse and I proud!!

And Grandma Cindy helped them figure this out :) 

We ended the day laying on the couch watching the kids play with all their new toys before going to bed!!  We are so blessed!
