i have not done this for three years, since Jordyn was a baby. Now Ashlyn is here and I want to try again. i am not very good with a computer but i think i'll get the hang of it. i got in touch with an old friend the other day and felt inspired to try better to keep in touch and blogs seem a great way to do it though i am not sure where any of us really have the time. but what is more important besides family than sharing memories with friends and family.

I forgot I had written back in October, here I go again. Joslyn(10)  is NOT doing cheerleading, she is trying out softball.  Ashlyn decided she wanted to be a soccer "pro" so I signed her up a week ago, then she declared she wants to stay with gymnastics and not be a soccer "pro." Now she wants me to buy gymnastic equipment and "coach" her at home.  She is intense, that is for sure.  She has been practicing her cart-wheels in the living room, only crashing into the dog cage once, having a total melt down Friday night because she was so tired and couldn't get the cart-wheel just right.  By Sunday evening, she was flying through the air with legs straight up, usually making a feet first landing.  We are trying to find a dance studio for Jordyn.  She is not competitive, she is a bit of  a free spirit and dancing might be fun for her.  Lilly is going to do golf for the Middle School this spring today: we went to church, the kids are in new class...

hello out there in blog land. this is a short description of our family. We are five plus a dog, two horses and a fish named Morty, thats right, Morty, not Marty, Morty. Lilly is very particular about this. Jacob and I were married in Denver, Colorado, in 2002, or was is 2003, jacob would know for sure. We have three girls, Lillian (Lilly,), Joslyn (Josi) and the smallest though she will probably be the tallest when all is said and done, Jordyn (a.k.a. "the baby"). We live in Choctaw Oklahoma. Our German Shepherd's name is Brewster. The neighbor's dog also spends quit most of its time here and lilly calls it "lil' fella" although we figured out he is a she. The horses names are Woodrow and Maggie. Maggie was a stray. yes, a stray horse. It happens quite a lot here, actually. We love making cookies and reading stories and going to the park. That's it for now, i have to make lunch, or so the kids tell me. the pictures are of crystals on grass in our b...

The beginning...again

10/05/17 Blogging feels a lot like work.  But I really want to remember the little things that happen everyday, all the things I will wish I could look back on.  The everyday stuff is mostly what life is, what I take for granted, what I think is inconsequential but that i will miss.  Ashlyn is a self-proclaimed "rock star."  She hates to be called cute.  She is very active.  She loves to climb up the door frames.  Lilly is playing trumpet. She has been practicing for the honor band auditions in November.  She got second chair in band and was voted second best out of the entire band.  not too shabby. I think it inspired her to keep playing and practicing.  Her friend Hannah de Gaston (mom is my friend from High School in  Colorado, Melanie formerly Stimpson) also plays trumpet. Lilly goes to school at Choctaw Middle School.      We started building our house in Deer Field.  The dozer work is done.  We ...
