Sea of Green Life

Here we are, I am so busy with school and work and everything in between. ABelle goes in on Tuesday for tubes. I have like 3 papers to write a week, and some other things. We are trying to refinance our house to lower payments. We can; according to the bank. We just need to shop around for the best fit. Also it is tax season. This may be the year I hand over taxes to someone else, I just have to make sure it won't be too much money. It takes me about two months to get through it my self. Probably only about 30 hours, but since I don't have a block of time it takes forever. So one day soon, I post a real post with lots of pix, but for now it is almost 11pm and I still need to take a shower. Good night, Sara

I haven't seen the movie Four Christmas's but I am sure it is a hoot. We celebrate with everyone and by the time we are done we have had six Christmas parties. So here is a short pictorial of our days. (minus one that will be this weekend) Genevieve and AnnaBelle (who names thier kids names with nine letters?) At Grandma Rhonda's on Christmas eve when we opened with Gid's brother Ben and family. ABelle's dress was her present from Mom (&Dad?) what do you get a one year old? ABelle snuggling with Opa Gid's Grandpa on Christmas morning. I must have been too busy with kids and presents to take any pictures of them opening. Whoops. Gevie with her best bud Korey. "Him big and he can pick me up." Here opening presents. Gevie got a life like coffee pot from Grandma Diane (now SHE can make coffee when people stop by, instead of our motto; you drink it, you make it.) AnnaBelle had great fun with the paper in her box, but she looks adorable in a red outfit

I am finally posting some of Christmas, really just a reoccuring theme that seems to be happening. ABelle likes to climb, A LOT. Here AnnaBelle is climbing on our electric I-Heater. She kept trying to stand on it, but didn't get the chance before we took her down. Grandma Diane fell asleep during a midnight Wi golf game. She wok up to AnnaBelle climbing on her head. ABelle did climb up there by herself, we just didn't stop her. Sorry Grandma!

We had the funnest weekend ever! We were so busy with our friends Mark and Kelley up from Bemidji with thier children. Thier boy Oliver is Gevie's best bud and they have a new baby Karis too. On Friday we went to a game night at a mutual friends house, on Saturday we went to Adventourous Christians camp for thier "Winter Games" and then on Sunday saw them again at another friends house. Anyway, this post is about way more than us seeing them, check out the things we got into! The picture above is of Mark and Kelly. I took this pix not only to get a great shot of them, but to show you all Marks fat lip that he sustained during Broomball. Broomball is best decribed by Genevieve, "Mom I want to go see them playing on that ice with the golf ball and sticks." Its a lot like hockey with a 5" ball and your stick looks like the handle of a shovel. I didn't get away with out injury. This is a picture of my right hip. Not the prettiest picture ever. But Gid and m
