I am a follower of Jesus. I love life and have been blessed with the most hardworking, loving husband and six great kids. I created this blog to chronicle the things I have been learning, to share stories and pictures with family and friends who are interested, and to hopefully pass down a love of Jesus to my babes.

Our new bench!
Daddy built a bench so that we could do our schoolwork comfortably. He made the bench out of scrap wood we had lying around the house since we were snowed in for 4 days! It was a good project and the kids LOVE their new bench!

Welcome 2012!
The tradition lives on...
Our tradition on New Years Eve is to go to Pikes Place Market and get fresh fish and take it home and spend a quiet evening together discussing goals and talking about the last year.
New Years Eve day we continued our tradition and went to the city had our picture taken (this time instead of the market sign we had it taken at Gasworks Park) went to Dicks for lunch, Gasworks for run time, and the market for piroshki's (YUM)!! We didn't end up buying any fish to bring home but bought some fresh mizithra from a cheese stand in the market to make pasta and chicken that evening. We were there all day from 10-6 and the kids were fantastic, I sure hope we can continue with 4 little ones next year!!

Christmas 2011
It seemed as if Christmas came and then left in a blink...Matthias was diagnosed with pneumonia and a double ear infection the week of Christmas. We were instructed to give him treatment thru an oxygen mask three times a day to help with the cough for 3 weeks. Ezekiel woke up the eve of Christmas with a high fever and chills. We spent Christmas Eve in Oregon, that evening was spent at Dave's Grandparents, Christmas Day was spent at his Moms and the day after Christmas was spent at his Sisters house...until Daves cat allergy got the better of him. :)
The next day we all headed home, I took Lani and Matthias and Dave and Ezekiel rode home with Grandpa Wagner. But first they toured Grandpas work (the pellet mill) and loaded up 2.5 Tons of pellets to haul home for warmth.
