Anna got 4 medals for academics and 7 awards as well as the Most Valuable Pupil in second grade for academics and citizenship with her best friend Valarie.

Abi graduated from elementary school and received the Presidential Award for Academic Excellence, an award for physical fitness, an award for holding the girls school record in sit-ups and an award for her role in Cinderella and for serving the school on Safety Patrol.

We had a great time in Iowa, celebrating grandpa's 80th birthday!

Caleb's 6th Birthday!

Busy Momma.

Yeah, I am a busy momma.  People say to me often "you sure have your hands full", "I don't know how you get anything done" and "wow, I bet you are busy".  And they are right in saying these things sometimes.  I love people, if you know me, you know this about me and I love to help people.  I may not always be available to help you out, but please ask me for help if you need it.  Don't assume that I am too busy.  Don't leave me out or not invite me because you think I might be too busy.  And if I ask to help you, that means I want to help you, please don't say "but you already have your hands full".  I do, it's true.  But, it's ME and it's what I love so give me a chance.  Sure I might say" I am sorry, I am too busy today" but don't assume that is always or will always be my answer.  Love, A Busy Momma
