Hey everybody! It's a miracle!! Sorry it's been a while. So school started yesterday. Russell is in 2nd grade and Cooper started kindergarten. They both have great teachers. Cooper was really excited and Russell was a little bit. Kyle and Avery are still home with me and so I do have that to hang on to. The summer seemed like it went really fast and school is starting sooner and sooner every year. We are doing good. Billy is working his buns off as usual and I hardly ever see him between work and church, but at least it's a good busy. Our prayers go out to my sister who has to be on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy (3 months) and my brother-in-law and his leg.

I hope everybody is doing well and has what they need and is happy.

hey everybody, sorry i have been slacking. What? It's only been 2 months since i last posted!! Where does the time go?
We are hanging in there. Russell and Cooper are in little league and both have 2 games a week so we are going to 4 games a week( AAAAH). Russell is in machine pitch and Cooper is in tee-ball. It is very fun and painful to sit through!! All the kids are growing to fast. I am so glad it's getting warm. I love them playing outside. I have to keep sunscreen on Kyle because he is so white. Avery is getting so big although she is small and petite. She is in a fun stage right now. It is fun when they can sit up and eat some normal food.
Billy is working his buns off and seems to get more done now that the days are longer. He always has a project going.
Just like the say happy mothers day to all the wonderful moms out there and hope you are appreciated and well taken care of.



Avery's first pony tail!

Looking up!

This is Easter Sunday right before church. The first Easter dress I have ever bought!!This is the boys and Kaydence coloring easter eggs. I made them take their shirts off so they wouldn't stain.

Happy Birthday Cooper! We love you.

The boys camping out in the living room. Billy got a new tent and it had to be "tested"

Avery at 5 months ready for Valentines Day!


Russell and one of our pupps!


Cooper, Avery, and Kyle. This is the cutest!

Cooper kept this box that we got something in and said he was going to make a bed out of it. I didn't really think anything of it until I went to check on the boys before I went to bed and sure enough, Cooper was sleeping in it. He is a funny guy!!

Cooper turned 5 on March 4th. He will be going
to kindergarten and I am finding that hard to
believe. He is a nice kid.

Cooper in his shirt he got from primary for having a birthday.




Cooper and his knife he got from Santa. He loves that thing!

We took Russell and a few of his friends bowling for his birthday and he is the only one I didn't get a good shot of. Oh brother.

Cooper

Kyle

Austin who beat everybody including billy!!

Avery is a cutie pie and very fun. Getting so big!

Cooper got a hold of the clippers and gave himself a hair cut. Every kid has to try it. Billy fixed it but we thought it would be funny to see what he would look like like and old man. He thought it was going to stay like that. Very funny!!

Cooper gave himself a "hair cut" so billy had to fix it. We thought it would be funny to see what he looked like like an old man. He thought Billy was going to leave it that way. Very funny!!

We survived Christmas. The commercilism of it all is about to kill me but it is fun to play santa to your kids. I like what our family does though- we make our gifts for each other. I think it makes it more fun and meaningful.

Hey everybody! I know you are all shocked that I am updating my blog. It seems like every time I go to do it some body needs something. We are all safe and sound here in the small Ervien home. We survived Christmas. Its seems as though it came and went so fast but is kind of depressing seeing the chaos it brings when it really doesn't have to be that way. Society has made it so commercialized I almost don't want to go anywhere the whole month. It's fun to play santa though.
