Goodness have we been busy. Lily had her basketball game Saturday morning. Saturday night we all went to Steak N Shake. Gabbie, Gracie, Kaylee, mom, dad, Brian, Mecehelle and myself. That was really nice. Then yesterday we spent the day over at Brian and Mechelle's house. They got some painting and organizing done. My mission was to get Gabbie's new bed up and get both girls rooms situated. They love their new rooms. My other goal was to put up Grant's crib while the boys did things outside. I got that done and that made Mechelle feel better. I believe Mr. Grant will be here in about 5 weeks. The baby shower is in 4 weeks. YAY! Other then that, nothing new to report. Class starts back up this week and I go on Tuesdays from 6-9:10. 

Congrats to my friend Amy and her husband Evan who just had a baby, Brooklynn. Have a great week and a wonderful weekend!

Vacation was great but of course not long enough. The next few months are pretty busy for us. I didn't take many photos but here they are. I'll explain a few of them. In one photo, we were at the water park during the first half of the Green Bay vs Atlanta game so I had to bring my lucky Driver jersey to represent. GO PACK GO! In another photo, I was having a heart to heart with Grace about why she should go down the big water slides. Neither of the girls wanted to go down but Uncle Bess knew once they went down they'd love it. It was the getting them to go down that was the problem. Needless to say they both went down the slides, both loved it, and both got bribed by a toy. Baby shower invites were sent out a few days ago and birthday invites will be going out soon as well. Finals this week then I have a week break. Lilyan has a basketball game tomorrow. Have a great weekend!

For those of you who know me pretty well, today would be Jaxon's Birthday. I remember the first time I met him and my Alma. Our bond was like no other. I also remember when he died, bawling my eyes out in my truck sitting outside Spalding because I had no clue what kind of gift I wanted to get my sweet Jaxon. I think about Jaxon every day and know he is "safe in the arms of Jesus".

VACATION HERE WE COME!!!!

Money spent at the outlet malls...$700

One night stay at our resort...$450

Dinner down at the water park...$150

Pregnant Mechelle, 4 kids having the time of their life, and 5 adults acting like kids again...Priceless

I hope everyone has a great week and weekend. I'll post photos as soon as we get home.

Lilyan started basketball today. She plays for the Blazers. Chris is the coach and team mom here...I thought I'd post some photos.(Some are sideways and I't to lazy to find em) I'll be sure to record some of her first game and record it. Funny, my daughter is the only girl I know that wants to wear leg warmers and a hairbow for her basketball games. What a DIVA! (Wonder where she gets that from) Christian isn't old enough so he was rather PISSED. I hope everyone has a great week!

So Christmas at the Larson's what nothing short but amazing and chaotic. Presents galore and a real good time. The boy's had to work on Christmas Day so we had ours the following Monday and then again Friday with the friends of the family . So on Christmas day I headed down to the Wayside Christian Mission and helped serve lunch. All I can say is my family and I are so blessed. Especially Lilyan and Christian. They get so much stuff every holiday and birthday that 1/2 of the gifts they get will  never even make it out of the package.

Congrats to my cousin Lauren who just got engaged and also just found out she will be having a baby in August. We are pretty excited to plan a trip there for all the summer festivities.

Mechelle is feeling good these days and I'm finalizing baby shower stuff. I think Grant will be here in about 8 weeks. We are all so ready for him to be here and make another wonderful addition to our growing family.

Please say some prayers for someone I know who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.

I also cut my hair...yes..all of it off. Kinda don't like it but I was told "It will grow back." Class starts back up tomorrow as well.

We had a good New Years as well and all I can say to that is C-A-T-S Cats Cats Cats. GO CATS! I will post more photos when we get back from vacation.

I hope everyone had a great holiday, a good 2010, and an even BETTER 2011.
