SNOWBOARDING IN BRECKENRIDGE FEBRUARY 2014

Jeremy took Nicholas and Savannah to Breckenridge for our annual snowboarding trip.  The kids love snowboarding and are REALLY good at it!  I could not go this year because of our Sweet baby Isaac in my belly. Madison stayed with me for the weekend.  We had a great time shopping, she had a double sleepover with her great friend, Claire and we braved a snowstorm!!  Very exciting!!  Here are some pics from the trip

 Nicholas and Savannah with Sloan in the middle (Sloan is their snowboarding instructor...2 years in a row with Sloan)

 Grammy, Oompa, with Nicholas and Savannah

 Everyone....with daddy too this time (he is mainly the photographer on the ski trip)

While Madison, Claire and I shopped at the mall, I found a dress to wear to Jeremy's Aunt Julie's 80th birthday party

(I had some dresses that I was choosing from, but Jeremy said that none of them showed our little baby bump enough....Jeremy is such a joyful daddy.  I just love him so much

These are the boots that I decided to wear to the mall.....They are so cute, but really Kerry?!?!
I had to sit down as the girls shopped!!  I'm 8 months pregnant.....am I crazy?!?!? They were so uncomfortable!!

Madison and I had a wonderful weekend together.  I just love our girl time!! BUT our family comes home  in 2 days and we miss them a lot!!

Thank you, Jesus for family trips, daddy's to take the kids on family trips when mommy cannot go along, mommy/daughter weekends......and coming home after all of the fun in over

I LOVE MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND

THANK YOU TO MY WONDERFUL JESUS FOR MY WONDERFUL JEREMY!  I COULDN'T IMAGINE GOING THROUGH LIFE WITHOUT HIM BY MY SIDE

Jeremy is out of town with Nicholas and Savannah on our yearly snowboarding trip to Breckenridge.  I could not go this year due to our new little baby in my belly.  Madison stayed home with my and we had a girls weekned.....I sent Jeremy this pic while he was gone so that he could know that I missed him and was thinking of him

I'M A HOPELESS ROMANTIC

I LOVE YOU JEREMY....WELL, I GUESS THAT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT FROM THIS PIC

A TUESDAY AT HOME WITH SAVANNAH AND NICHOLAS

Madison is at her Mater Dei Co-op, and Savannah, Nicholas and I are homeschooling at the house.  I was just taking some pics of these 2 crazy kids, because they are truly best friends and they were just laughing at each other so hard, as I was putting some clothes away in my closet.  I just had to capture their special moment of joyful laughter.  I am so thankful that my kids are able to be so close to each other.  One of the many blessings of all being home together everyday.  One of the blessings that I will greatly miss as they get older.  I already see this happening as Madison is getting older

 Nicholas and Savannah are CONTINUALLY cracking each other up.  A mommy's heart truly flutters at the sound of her children's jubilant laughter.

 My sweet Savannah is looking so cute in her skirt today (well, it is actually MY skirt.  Savannah does not like to wear skirts and dresses, so she doesn't really own many skirts).....Her first fashion choice is ALWAYS her Tylers shorts....if it is too cold for shorts (in her mind...it is NEVER too cold for shorts) she will air to the jeans and her custom designed Converse tennis shoes (which she custom designed to glow in the dark....a classic Savannah)  Gotta love that sweet little thing.  She brings so much light to our day.

OH....I forgot to tell you that the only reason that she is in a skirt on a random Tuesday is because we went to Mass and jeans and shorts are not allowed by mommy.  I had to get a pic, because she looked so cute all dressed up.

Since we were taking pictures, I decided to take a selfie of me and little baby Isaac.  I have very few pics of myself pregnant with the other 3 and the kids always ask me about that.  I want to have this picture to show Isaac how he looked inside mommy's tummy and also to remind myself of how awesome it feels to carry my children inside of my tummy!!!  I was always happy to meet each of our precious little ones at the end of our long 9 month wait, but a part of me is always sad to let them go, because up until that point of delivery, they were each intimately all mine and I loved every minute of it....wow, that sure sounded selfish....but in my humanness, I just cannot help that bitter-sweet emotion.  I am just so grateful that I got that special time with each of them.
