FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! August 12th

This was actually the second day of school. They look kind of tired in this picture don't they. They are so good to get up at 6:30 every morning. Must be the doughnuts they get to eat for breakfast every friday in the Cafetheria!! Yummy! (Jacob is now in 4th grade).

Jeremiah's first day of middle school. (6th grade). I was not the only mom with a camera taking pictures of kids before they left for school. It was kind of funny. Everyone was out doing it too!

This was Rebekah's first day of Kindergarden! Jeremy is seeing her off on the bus. It comes right outside our house. We are so lucky!!

Josiah gets the mail

All on his own, Josiah has taken our bathroom stool and perminately placed it beside the mail box. Every day when the mail man comes he will run outside to bring in the mail for me!!

JOSIAH GETS A HAIRCUT!

NKOTB IN CINCINATTI, OHIO

One last consert in Cincinatti, Ohio!! It was soooo fun!

The NKOTB reunion tour ended last month.

Kirtland, Ohio

We decided to drive 5 hours to Kirtland, Ohio this summer to tour the church history sights. We absolutely loved this trip!!

We camped for 2 nights at a state park near Kirtland. One night we chased a pack of racoons away because they were trying to eat our food!

Had to take the boys to the football hall of fame in Columbus, Oh!

Jeremiah and Josiah in the old saw mill.

My favorite part of the tour was learning the history behind the Newel K. Whitney store. This was where the school of the prophets met.

We learned how the pioneers made soap and other everyday items. They were truly amazing and we came home with a deeper love and respect for our pioneers!

QUICK RECAP!!

We celebrated Josiah's 3rd birthday on Derby Day with his friends. They had alot of fun playing Derby games!

Jeremiah and Jacob completed their baseball season in May.

NKOTB live!

On November 21st my dream came true. I have actually drempt of attending a New Kids On The Block consert again. When I heard the news that the New Kids were having a reunion tour, I purchased VIP tickets which included a meet and great and photo op. The consert was in Vancouver, BC where we saw them 18 years ago. I went with Camille, (next to me), and Aaron, and Brittany, (on either side of Donnie at the back). It was so amazing to talk with them, to hug them and laugh with them. I will never forget it!!

Let the consert begin!!

Natasha Beddingfield opened with "Pocket full of Sunshine," and "Feel the rain on my face."

The 5 babes rise from beneath the stage. This was our first glimps of them in consert.

I still cannot believe I met my favorite NKOTB!

We got special VIP parking and prepared these awesome posters for the consert. At the last minute we were told we were not allowed to take them in.

Here we show our love while waiting to get on the elevator. Thanks for making the posters Brittany!
