Finally, the computer is fixed!?






So the modem was not working...but they got us a new one, so I hope it will work now! Just wanted to post some pics from Vegas (we missed you Joni!). I did an Enrichment this morning at the church on Food Storage. It went pretty good I guess...got a lot of good ideas. I also found out that soy beans grow really well in Michigan. So, I am going to try planting my own! I really hope it works, that would be so cool to be able to do that! I will keep you posted!

Out of the Loop




Hey gals! What's been going on? I feel like we've been out of the loop for a while. Why haven't we seen many pictures from your Weekend Extravaganza in Las Vegas? We're bummed we couldn't make it out. I can't imagine how we would have been able to handle the travel with 3 good arms and 3 good legs. Hahaha.

Mikey's fighting off a fever right now. His temps been pretty high since Friday, but it seems to be breaking - finally. We think his molars are coming in. He seems to get a high fever that (to the doctor) is "viral," and we can't do anything for, whenever he has teeth come in. I hope that's it. He's growing so much and definitely isn't a baby anymore. He knows where his ears, mouth and feet are and barks at all the dogs he sees in the neighborhood. He loves to just walk around outside and play with sticks. We have a collection outside our back door.

Derek's doing much better. He started physical therapy last week. He's wearing tennis shoes on both feet and it helps him walk. He's working a lot, but work's actually getting better for him. Hopefully things will continue to get better. It's crazy to think he's been working there almost a year!

My grandmother (on my dad's side) passed away almost 2 weeks ago. She lived in the Detroit area, so we had family in and out a couple weeks ago. Last week we were all in Hillsdale for funeral services. She was sick since Thanksgiving, in and out of the hospital with heart failure and complications from that. She was a fiesty little SayGan, and we're all lucky to have her as our guardian angel.

Not much else going on here. The 3 of us are heading up to Traverse City for a long weekend in a few weeks, then to Hillsdale again at the end of the month for Jasmine's graduation.

I guess I will start it


So we started a family web site & it just didn't seem to work. So, we decided to try a family blog...welcome to the world of blogging! I wanted one easy page to find where we can all post pictures of our super cute kids and catch each other up on our daily lives! I hope this works out! So, here it goes...

Same old stuff happening in B-town. Marley is still fussy, Ky is crazy funny, & Polly drives us all crazy (love ya grandma). Seeing Ky & Polly together is great though! The other day Polly put lipstick on her teeth. Ky then marched her into the kitchen where I was & made her show me what she had done. He is a good babysitter! Marley is so cute, even if she is feisty. I have her sleeping 11 hours now...which is wonderful! I thought she would be much harder cause she was such a screamer for so long. I think she may be starting to calm down now?

Matt is working for a landscaping company this summer. It is so nice to have him home at night again! He loves being outdoors too, so it works great for us. I am still working on getting the baby weight off (no fun). So I signed up for a Beach Body Bootcamp class...and made Kirstynn take it with me(sorry Kirstynn). It was so hard! The lady who teaches it is in her 50s for sure, and she bounces so dang much! My bladder cannot handle all that movement! You feel me, don't you Tracy? haha Anyways, needless to say...it worked! My whole body was sore & still is. No pain, no gain...right? It better be right.

As for the "move out west"...we would love for that to happen so we could be closer. But we wont go out there unless we have a solid job. So, I guess it is in the Lord's hands now...and we are ok with that. I am still looking around, so I would appreciate any help you may be able to offer. Time to make some dinner (aka: popcorn & ice cream)...love you all
