Catching up after a year

It has been almost a year since my last blog, Sad i know . It has been a very busy year, and we finally got Grandpa Thatcher home at the end of Feb. now he is very well and on the mend we all have a little more room to breath. Danika turned 1 year old (very hard to belive) on March 16th we had a very fun party she loved her cake.But i think she partied to hard cause she fell asleep in her rockin chair. She is such a joy to have in our family,her prescence has made it complete.

Jesse Turned 3 on May 26th he is such a go getter and so full of energy. The very first thing he wants to do when he wakes up is go down to Grandpa Thatchers and have a chocolate doughnut.( his favorite.) He takes very good care of his baby sister and holds her hand where ever she goes.

Zander turned 6 on June 1st. He is turning in to quite a young man. he loves school and started first grade this year. He dose really well and is learning so much. He takes pretty good care of grandma and grandpa too! all summer long he woke up before the chicken(and sometimes before Gandma & grandpa.) so he could go have a cup of tea with them.

Hadlee Jo Turned 10 on June 2nd. WOW! that makes me feel really old. She started Middle School This year 5th Grade.(I cant belive it!) She is such a big help around the house for both me and Grandma Thatcher. She was very ready to go back to school she couldnt hardly wait until summer was over to go back to school. She was actually counting down the days until summer was over.

This was Hadlee and Zanders first day of school (I have a picture of Hadlle on her birthday but its on my phone and i havent figured it out yet.)

JESSE HAD HIS TONSILS OUT ON AUGUST 18 IT HAS REALLY HELPED HIM ,HE SAYS EVERTHING NOW EVEN THINGS HE'S NOT SUPPOSE TO!

DANI IS GROWING TOO FAST SHE IS 6 MONTHS OLD NOW. WE ARE ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE.

Jesses 2nd birthday

I can't belive how fast time has gone by Hadlee Jo is well on her way to being 9, and Zander is well on his way to being 5. Jesse just turned 2 and little Danika is 2 and 1/2 months.

For thier birthdays Grandma and Grandpa Willden took every one one a little trip, we went to liberty land the first day and the three older kids had a ball, they had minature golf , laser tag, bumper boats , go carts, a roller coaster and lots of other diffrent rides and we did it all. Everyone had the time of thier life. The next day we went to the zoo, Zander was so excited when he realized we were at the zoo he could'nt keep both feet on the ground at the same time. Jesse really loved seeeing all the animals , and Grandpa Tim was trying to teach him how to say all of thier names. Hadlee has been thier before, but she was still excited, Dani loves to ride in the stroller and she was so good both days, she never cried at all she just fussed when she was hungry and that was it. I am posting some pictures so you can all see how much fun we all had and many thanks go out to Grandma and Grandpa Willden for the great trip.

My Zander is my cowboy.
He is very seldom seen without his cowboy hat.

Hadlee Jo is almost 9, I cant belive
how fast she is growing.
