February 09

Well, February is almost over. I can hardly believe it! We have 1 more week of Upward Basketball, we're finally done with Family Fun Day work and festivities at Grove Elementary School (a lot of work for Kristi!), and March is on the horizon. For Spring Break, Kristi & the boys (with POSSIBLY Jason, but we're not holding our breath as he has lots of work going on) are heading to Louisiana to spend some time with our friends, The Ponzo family. The excitement is palpable! We've not visited them since they moved there, so the boys are dying to see "where Sammie & Chance are living." Plus, it'll be warm as opposed to the cold of IL, so they're gonna have a blast. They may even get to participate in their first crawfish boil...at least, Kristi hopes so! They probably won't like it much, but that's okay, just the experience will be worth remembering! Isaiah may step up to the plate and try to eat a crawfish or two seeing as he has recently begun enjoying more spicy and different foods. His new snack to enjoy is a red and/or green pepper...he's truly his mother's son:). Not much more going on at the Probst Party Palace...just puttering along, hoping that God has sunny, warm days in his pocket for us instead of snow, but will be thankful for whatever He sends us. He has provided for us so well that, snow or not, we'll be safe & warm! Happy End of February, everyone!

Just a few more

Elias and Mom...a little snuggle before the wedding

Mom & Simeon pose for a quick picture

Okay, so I did it again...these blog posts are backwards...will I ever get this right? Probably not, but that's the beauty of this, isn't it? Learning how to do it better with you watching me...is anyone even reading these? Probably not, but that's okay! Ha!!

Just a few more pics of my guys from Ben's wedding!

Okay, so Adam (the HUGEMOGOUS one) isn't "my guy," but he is my "baby" brother & Isaiah (the smaller one) looks pretty much just like him, so I had to put this in:)

All 4 of my guys...aren't they handsome?

Isaiah looks so dapper:)

Simeon, ever the handsome gent!

And Elias, my 6-year-old sweetie!

My family before the ceremony

Well, my brother, Ben, got married last weekend in St. Louis. We are so happy for him & our new family member, Sarah. They had a beautiful wedding, if I do say so myself. Of course, it didn't hurt that Isaiah was the ring bearer and my wonderful hubby, Jason, did the ceremony! Ben was so happy & they just looked beautiful together! I'm going to add some pictures of the day (I'll try to just add a few, but you know me...that's hard!!!).
