Spring is in the air!!!





















I know I have fallen off the "Blog Wagon" but now that spring is in the air it has brought(a much needed)inspiration back to the keyboard and get to blogging. Well I for one am counting the days until summer break for I feel sick and tired of homework as much or quite possibly more so than the boys( mostly Jake)! Maybe the week of Spring Break will give us the push to make to June 2nd! The boys received their 3 quarter report cards and I was very pleased. Jake got 2 A's, 2 B's and 1C(a 78 so we are going to really work on the one) so we are thrilled with all his hard work and couldn't be more proud. Jake once again has proven that he can make it a typical classroom though it's not easy he does his best!!!!! Cade also did fabulous and his teacher commented on how great he is doing in reading and math!!! Cade says bring on 1st Grade!!! Oh and Lila is doing great at her pre-school they are always so impressed by her anyway. We spend most nights making up homework for little miss scholar so she doesn't ......refuses to be left out! She has also informed me that she wants to go to college then get married! I agreed she should get a degree before she jumps into marriage and I for one am glad that we have this problem out of the way at 3!!! Watch out world Lila (and any man wanting to date/marry her) is taking over!!! We also have 99% finished the basement or we call the Wii room. I am so happy that we invested money into another space to enjoy video games...can anyone taste the sarcasm!!!! But the kids love it down there and my fingers are crossed that it will help us sell the house in the near future( yes I am ready to get back home)!!!!!! And as one can see we have a lot of open space and have Incorporated kids plastic furniture to give it that family friendly look or don't want to spend anymore money on furniture look!!!!

Ski trip

















Sorry once again that it has been so long since I last posted. Every Stark is doing well and excited for spring and going to Pop-pop and Gigi's for Easter!!! Scott & I went on a skiing trip with some friends last weekend and had a great time! It has been a while since we have had a "child free" getaway and boy was it a nice break.We add all our fun to Grandma aka Jenny for coming to watch the small Stark's. Lila loves when Grandma comes because she gets her nails done and a fresh set of ears to listen to her talk all day long So we want to say a specail THANK YOU!!to Grandma we love you!!!! Anyway,so we tried snowboarding for the first time and despite the bruises all over me I loved it and hope to try it again one day! The weather was really on the hot side for skiing but I for one was not complaining.
