Family

Last night we went to visit with my nephew Joe and his wife Liz at their apartment. My brother Scott and his family are in for Christmas! Being with family is my favorite thing! I'm so blessed!!!! We still have a lot of shopping, eating and visiting to do while they are here! Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Nick and Meagan working a food drive!

Tonight Nick got off of work at 6:00 and he and his cousin Meagan worked a food drive through their jobs, Super One Foods and Brookshires! I'm so thankful they had the opportunity to give of their time to help others! I love my family and have many blessings to count!

Nicks first day at work

Today starts a new chapter in our lives! Nicholas starts working today at Brookshires! He is a bit nervous and excited! Tim is thrilled, Aly is glad to see him go! ( you know how sisters are! Ha) and I am fighting the tears back! It's hard to believe he is 16! Time goes by so fast! I guess Brookshires is my new shopping place!

Recital & Chocolate Banquet

We have had a few busy weeks! Nick played the piano in the recital this year! He did an amazing job in spite of his music accidentally getting thrown away! He had 3 days to come up with a new song,,,he practiced the new piece day and night! DeAnna was his teacher again...she  really does a great job and we are very thankful for her!

Last night we had our annual ladies banquet at the church, it was "Chocolate and Girlfriends"  We had a great time, our speaker was Mrs. Lisa Hicks. She did an amazing job! I am so thankful for my Church and love all the opportunities to serve the Lord and all the activities we have for us and our children!  I hope everyone is doing well! Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers! 

Spirit Week at L.C.A.

Grandpa & Grandma Zinn

What a beautiful Spring we are having! The weather has been so nice!

Nick and Aly had spirit week at school! They had a lot of fun dressing up and they learned to participate with their classmates ( Well Nick didn't stand a chance being the only guy in his class ha) they all had a great time!

Tomorrow is their Grandpa Zinn's Birthday, so the school had planned a surprise party for him today! We had a breakfast with the whole school! He was really surprised!!

Nick and Aly received their third quarter report cards. Nick had all A's and Aly had all A's&B's! Tim and I sure are proud of all their hard work!

I was going between the two schools last week and the girls were at P.E. I saw Aly & Heidi at the fence, I just had to stop and take their picture! They look so pitiful! ha!

Nick's class won the spirit stick!!!!
