Yumm-O

 

 

I a not one to post pictures of my food but this dinner was delish!!

 

Roasted butternut squash soup with bacon and cheese grilled sandwich on rye bread.

 

Talk about comfort food at its finest!

Jump Jump HOORAY

The kids have really been wanting a trampoline but we just haven't been able to get them one. I went out on a limb and asked some friends that don't have any Littles anymore if they would be interested in selling theirs and they were sweet enough to gift us theirs.  It ended up being our family Christmas gift this year.

 

The big boys brought it over last night and assembled it while the little guys were asleep. This morning they woke up and were super excited to see it in the backyard.

 

 

I see lots of fun in our future.

Muddy Soccer Fun

Brogan is constantly asking if someone will go out and play soccer with her.  She never tires of practicing and playing.  So when the rain was over and I turned her down, her brothers were there to play with her.

Jeremy kicked balls into one of them while they tried to score on the other two. 

They had a blast playing and it made it even better to know there was mud involved.  Siblings make the best friends....and teammates!!

Welcome 2017

 

This year we said Good-bye to 2016 and welcomed 2017 with some fun and friends.  Food, fireworks, board games, conversation, basketball and a laid back night was enjoyed by all.

 

 

I think this may be a new tradition!

 

 

 

Last year I said was I was going to blog more but that didn't happen.  Well, I actually blogged more than I did in 2015 but not as much as I wanted.  This year I am going to try #365in2017 .  A post a day to capture our year. 

Hopefully I can stick with it!

Meeks Family Pictures

 

Well, we finally did it.  We finally got EVERYONE together to take a family picture for my mom.  Best of all, we actually had one that turned out great!

2016 is a wrap!!

2016 Family Pictures

 

 

Well, this about sums up this year's family photos.  It s always a challenge to get everyone together now that the older boys are working and on their own schedules.  Then, well, then we have the cooperation issue.  You would think it would get better as they got older but instead the joking continues to grow.  (And I wouldn't want it any other way.  Most of the time!) 

 

Though this year's photos were not our favorites we still had a few good shots that came of it.

 

 

 

 

This crew.  How proud I am of them.  How I love them so.

I am very thankful for each of them.  We are simply blessed.

HCYA Soccer

 

B finished up her first Junior High soccer team this week.  It was a fun experience for her and a great way to keep in shape during her regular off-season.

 

Way to go, Hurricanes!
