Pics of the Kids at Kailyn and Mason's B-Day!

I know I am a little behind....but it's been a long week! Here are some pictures from the Luau last weekend! I have more pics also and I will upload them all to facebook later as larger images for all of you to steal, but facebook is being silly right now and won't let me, so here are some of them! I tried to include as many of the kids as I had pictures of! Moms: You will be able to steal them closer to originals quality on facebook! But...here they are for now!


Kailyn being her normal "camera ham" self!



Mason battling the bubbles



Mason driving his Dora car.



Kristyn dressed for the occasion. Look at that grin!




Olivia looks like she is talking about something very important in this picture!



Lexie LOVED the juice box!



I think the car was Evan's favorite part of the party!





These are my favorite pictures from the whole party! The boys Loved those blue cupcakes!



The girls always know when the camera is around!



Jacob enjoying his cake!



Little Josh was a great assistant to Big Josh with the magic tricks! BTW, it's so cute how the hat is too big for him!



Secretly, I think Mason just wanted to wear the hat!

Overwhelmed...to say the least!

OK, so I am terrible at the whole keeping up with the blogging thing! I just might have a good excuse though. Since the last blog post, I have been to NYC for a week, and have been working on my thesis project practically every other second of free time. This project is so much more work than I could have imagined. This 10 minutes I am taking right now to type a little note is simply for my sanity and nothing else really.

I am learning a lot of interesting information, and I really did LOVE school and my time in college. However, I am at the age now that I ready to be done with school and move on with my life. This makes ALMOST 20 YEARS of school. That means that 20 years of my life practically have been spent on my education. If things go according to plan, I should have my Master's degree by Thanksgiving and I will be done with school forever!

I admire Josh so much for this because he is going BACK to school after being away from it and also he works so hard at his job. He is such an overachiever and so organized with his schoolwork! He has a 4.0.....of course and will do whatever it takes to ensure that his schoolwork is top quality!


If anyone reads this, I just ask that you pray for me and for Josh! We are both in school full-time and over our heads plus we both work 40 hours a week at least! If you haven't done this before, it's tough trust me! Pray that God keeps our priorities straight and that we are able to continue being there for each other and remembering to take time for us! So, far that has been ok. We make sure that dinner time is a sitting down at a table event and we don't do any work during that time. Also, because Northwestern is across the road from my work, we do get to sneak away for lunch now and then too.

Well, I promise that my future posts will be if nothing else easier to read and more exciting than this one. I just needed to write about something other than my school stuff!
