Locks of Love

My girls and I went to a cancer walk about a month ago and they had locks of love there cutting hair if you donated atleast 10 inches. Well Alyssa had no problem, in fact she wanted a hair cut. I on the other hand needed a trim but in no way wanted to chop all my hair off....I thought you only had to donate 6 inches, so I wasn't going to. Well after people around us kept sharing there stories about their cancer and losing their hair etc.....Kenzie looked at me and said, "mom if you do it I will!" Now if you know my Meckenzie you would know that she has not wanted me to cut her hair because she wanted to be Rapunzel! So after she said that I was sold....I couldn't believe that she was really going to do it! Alyssa and Kenzie ended up cutting off 12 inches each and me 10! It was an awesome experience that we had together that we will never forget! We were all telling each other, "oh it's just hair, just do it!" but to the people who have lost their hair, it is not "just hair" it is their gold!

My dear loving grandpa Limburg.....we will miss you

I got a call on Sunday night from my dad letting me know that my grandpa had passed away. He was over at his daughter's house for Mother's Day and after was heading out to get into the car to go home and he had a heart attack and couldn't be revived. Good thing is is that he didn't suffer.
I had the wonderful opportunity to take care of my grandma and grandpa for awhile when I lived in Salt Lake. It was such a pleasure getting to know my grandpa on a whole different level. He had such a great sense of humor and a wonderful love for all of my kids. When I would go to the Heritage Place to take care of them it started when Weston was a baby and so he really got to know his great-grandpa! I would also take all the kids on fridays when they had half days so that they could have a relationship with them as well. My kids loved their great-grandpa very much and will miss him alot! My grandpa loved Jason and thought the world of him and always reminded me of how blessed I was to have him....Jason would come with me on his days off and help me with laundry and trash and just sit and talk to my grandparents. He always had them laughing!! We loved sitting there and listening to his stories.....
We were able to visit my grandparents before we moved to Wisconsin. These are some of the pictures that we took. My grandpa told me then that he would be looking down on us always and I knew then that would be the last time I saw him.
With my grandpa gone now we will cherish the memories that we had with him and the wonderful example of the great life that he lived! We love you soo much grandpa......have fun playing chess with your Son Steve and his two boys Wayne and Jeff....Also enjoy seeing your family who has passed before you........you will always be with us:)

Blog overload!

Sorry that I haven't posted in quite some time.....so get ready for blog overload! Just what has been going on lately with our family! Enjoy!

Alyssa in Rumpus in the rainforest!

Alyssa did such a great job in her school play Rumpus in the rainforest! She remembered all of her lines and sang so well! She is a natural actress if you ask me:) She loves drama and will probably continue in it through school! She is growing up and we are really enjoying it so far:)

Updated pics of our big Olivia

This is her cheezer! She said cheese and I caught it really quick! Olivia is my most mischievious little girl, in fact today she decided to paint my couch with processed cheese from her cheese and crackers......where was I?, in the bathroom for less than a minute! Yesturday she got into all my gum and had chewed all the pieces and had them all over my floor in my bedroom.....where was I?, changing Landon's diaper and nursing for about 10 minutes! She is a curious 2 year old for sure, but we wouldn't trade her for anything:) She brings so much joy to our lives!

Kenzie's school concert

Kenzie had her spring concert for school and it was so much fun to see her perform! She did such a great job and was so pretty:) Great job sweetie!

Weston goofing around:)

We just took some fun pics because Weston wanted some! We had fun! When Weston is in a good mood he is such a joy to be around......when he is in a bad mood you don't want to be in the same room with him, or house for that matter, but we are working on that:) We love him still so very much. He is really excited to be starting baseball this summer! He has been practicing and does really well!

Landon 10 and 1/2 months!

Landon is such a joy and so much fun right now! This is such a fun age! He is crawling everywhere and discovering everything! He eats everything we eat now and for all of you that are curious....yes I am still nursing and honestly don't know how I am going to stop knowing that he is my last:( He loves it and I love the bond that it gives us. He has almost 6 teeth and getting more! He laughs and plays so well with Olivia and all his sisters and brother. He truly makes every day a happy one!

Landscaping

This last saturday we did some landscaping. It was alot of fun to see the before and after! We just planted some plants that will come back every year. They will get alot bigger than they are right now. We got some rocks also to add some flair. We also added some solar lights.....the kids loved it at night when they light up! We added shutters to the windows in the front too. This is an ongoing project, there is so much more to do but this is what we have done so far. We love being able to do what we want to our yard and can't wait to start on our garden!
