Keeping it Exciting

                         

See if you can find all four kids. On the
weekend the kids are exempt from a bed
 time and get to sleep in the living room.
I love to see them snuggle up
with each other. - Mom

Ani had the Director's Cup
Soccer   tournament this weekend. They had 3 games in which they tied one (4-4), lost one (0-5), and won one (1-0). This wasn't Ani's favorite season. She is grateful to finish up with Coach Garza and move on the high school ball. Campbell is zonked out in the shade. Watching soccer from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. is exhausting. - Mom                                  

 Father and Sons Outing... We went to a private pond and fished for sturgeon. It was a lot of fun. Corbin caught several. Including one about three feet. We had to leave early Saturday morning for Corbin's basketball game and he was pretty upset and disappointed about leaving early. He was having fun fishing with his friend Luke. - Dad




My dad helped me build my pinewood derby car. It was awesome! I didn't think I would get 1st place like last year, but I did. - Corbin
Despite someone knocking his car out of his hands and breaking a wheel completely off Corbin's car still managed to have the fastest average times. Thank goodness for duct tape. - Dad
Pack 435: Br. Youngberg, Corbin, Luke, Jacob, Jared, ?, Mitchel, Br. Herzog, Ethan, Cedar, Shawn, and Britton.

 I checked out a few books from the A to Z Mysteries series from the Caldwell Public Library for Brennan. She loves them and read all the books in a few days. She kept begging me to take her to the library to check out more. She set up this comfy reading station on the hide-a-bed and spent hours reading. - Mom

 I had the opportunity to work at the election polls again this year. This time I was able to work at the receiving table and audibly state "____________ has vote". I am grateful to be a part of our countries democracy. It rained and poured buckets all day long. The roof of the building was metal so it resonated through the room. I loved it and now I want a rain ringtone. - Mom

 Today was the last orchestra concert of the school year and Ani's last concert as a middle schooler. My girls work hard at developing their musical talents. I am so proud of them! Grandpa and Grandpa Hogg, Grandma Fluckiger, and Aunt Ilene came to enjoy the music.

On a side note Ani is only one inch taller than me. This picture is deceiving. - Mom

Happy Mother's Day 2017

I got up to use the ladies room and when I came out my bedroom door had been shut. Knowing that it was Mother's Days I assumed that breakfast was on its way. I jumped back into bed...literally...and snuggled under the covers awaiting my surprise breakfast. Twenty minutes later I heard whispering voices at the door and then some of the cutest kids came into the room bearing scrumptious food: sunny side up egg with cheese on a rice cake, oranges, fruit cocktail with a yogurt dollop, and a strawberry blueberry smoothie.

Motherhood has stretched me in ways I did not know possible but I wouldn't change it for the world. I love my four babies to the moon and back times eternity. - Mom
