Happy Mother's Day!It has been a good day around here I hope you have had a good one too!The girls both brought home a questionnaire about me from school and I thought I would share their perception of me!According to Sophie:I am 20 years old.I am 11 feet tall and weigh 7 lbs ;0).Her favorite thing to do with me is play dress up.I work on the computer before school.I say "clean up your room" a

This past Friday night we decided to stay at home for a family night. While deciding what we would have for dinner it occurred to me that my kids have never fondued (is that a word??) with anything but chocolate. It probably has something to do with the flaming pot of oil that you use to cook your food! I decided that with supervision that they probably could handle it. Fonduing (again, is

This morning while Macklin was getting ready for school she said "Mom, Mrs. Moore said that if we did well on our science test that we could go on a school bus on a field trip to hear Dave Ramsey." Dave Ramsey???? I know that times are tough and the economy is lagging some but why would you take 2nd graders to hear a seminar about getting out of debt? Most second graders do not have debt! So I

My baby is 11! Oh my, oh my! That seems so old! I love this guy more than he can ever understand and I am so proud of him! He is an excellent student, thoughtful brother (when he is not torturing them) and an all around great kid! It is a bittersweet experience to watch him grow into a young man but I am so blessed to call him my son. I look forward to see what God is going to do in his life.

because this is what Sophie did to the desk in her room.I'll admit that I was a little impressed that she wrote her name AND her sister's name. Pretty good for a 3 year old!She didn't get into too much trouble! It washed off!

Macklin turned 8 on February 8th and the celebration is still not over! We had a nice Saturday before her birthday eating at Elliston Place Soda Shop, Krispy Kreme and going to McKay's bookstore (her request) to get some new books. We went to church the morning of her birthday and then we were treated to lunch at the Olive Garden by Dann's Aunt Sharon and Uncle Dave who are in Tennessee

Boy, am I behind! If you are like me you are WAY OVER CHRISTMAS, but in the interest of preserving memories for my family, here is a quick recap of our Christmas. We celebrated with Dann's family in Indiana over Thanksgiving and got the only real snow we have seen this season. We continued the tradition of drawing names and making the gifts. Next year will be the 20th anniversary of this

or Turkey Dressing part deux. You may remember from last year that Macklin had to disguise a turkey so that he would not get eaten for Thanksgiving. We disguised him as Santa Claus last year.This year she was given the same assignment and we had to out do last year (of course). This is what we came up with.....She is hoping to win a prize!

We joined the Gibson's for the 3rd annual Trick or Treat fest. The daddies took the kids out and Jana and I stayed at their house to pass out candy. Jeff and Dann were much more ambitious and took them to tons more houses than Jana and I ever have. The kids literally had all the candy they could carry. Dann reports that Sophie want to crawl the last half of the block! Even with all the sugar,

I just wrote a note to Macklin's teacher apologizing for her behavior at school today. She got a smiley face instead of a star. Her trouble? She was dancing in the hallway! Now obedience is expected at all times (though never accomplished 100% of the time) especially at school, but I'll admit that today's offense made me a little sad. Wouldn't the world be a little better place if the rules were

I received the following photo via email yesterday. My Uncle Vern took the photo the last time they were here. I don't know which is more precious.......the photo of her grubby hands fearlessly holding the frog or the words he wrote about her: "Looking at this picture, One would assume that they are looking at the hands of some adolesent boy doing what boys do.

At least for our family. EBZ moved up yet another league (11 and 12 year olds). They can play in the league that their age will fit come spring. Balls are pitched a little faster and everything is a little harder. His team is doing well (2 -1) and the team of boys that have played together for a while are back together after being split onto two teams last season. It is so awesome to watch them

Our school year has started off great! We have had happy mornings (for the most part) and fun times in the afternoons. Everyone is adjusting well to their new teachers and I am adjusting to my new little Pre-K students.I'll admit I am struggling with the whole 5th grade thing. I am okay with the 2nd grade and 3 year old class placements because that is still young sounding. 5th grade just seems

My parents have been married 40 years today! My dad likes to say that they got married when they were 10 :0) Truthfully, they were not much older at 18. I am blessed to come from a home with parents who love each other and their kids unconditionally. They are shaping up to be pretty awesome grandparents too! Happy Anniversary! We love you!P.S.

Okay, we actually had dinner first. Macklin (with her lovely assistant Sophie) made dessert tonight. It's amazing what you can make out of some pastry shells, pudding cups and cool-whip! They used the grater to grate some chocolate to make them pretty and then topped them with raspberries. They were tasty too! I may have some Marthas (or Rachels) on my hands. Now if they could only learn to cook

Honestly, didn't we all know it would just be a matter of time?Macklin got her name in the paper!Fortunately, it was for a local interest story and I knew it was coming! The article is in today's Tennessean paper (http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008807030370) but the interview actually took place on Tuesday.

A blessed, happy wife and mother.I was tagged by Amy to complete a six word memoir. No small task since I tend to go on and on about things. The sentence really sums up my place in life right now and I can truly say I wouldn't have made it here without the benefits of a very happy childhood filled with lots of family and fun.

This was my Memorial Day Project.BEFORE AFTER But sadly, I was interrupted by a monsoon! So I spent some time putzing around Pioneer Woman cooks. This is the result: The recipes are cheese and olive bread, Marlboro Man's 2ND favorite sandwich (the chicken, we didn't eat it on a bun) and bacon wrapped, stuffed jalapeno thingys. We will be scheduling our EKG's first thing in the morning! ~Happy

The Zehr kids! Elijah and Macklin had awards day school this week. Elijah received awards for Outstanding Achievement in Social Studies, Top 5 in multiplication and division and Outstanding Achievement in the Science bowl. He also received a plaque for being on the Principal's List (straight A's) the entire year! Macklin received awards in 1st Grade Spelling, 1st Grade Reading (the speediest) and

I just had to show everyone the paint cans I made for EBZ, AMZ and ASZ's teachers. They each got to choose which one they wanted for their teacher. Sophie has 4 teachers and Ms. Jamie (her tumbling teacher), so she had the most choices. Now we just have to buy something to fill them up! Many thanks to Jana for the idea and lesson. Maybe one day she could start a craft blog..........:0)!~Have a

Sophie has been taking a tumbling class this year at school! She has loved it and her teacher Ms. Jamie is the best! Monday the class received medals for all of their hard work! She was very excited to show her siblings and her Daddy when they got home. She told them "It has a chicken on it!" Apparently, the gymnast on the medal looks like a chicken to her. So she is wearing her "chicken medal"

If you are half-dead with some kind of sinus junk and you need to go grocery shopping, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT take all three of your children (who were fairly well behaved) to Kroger on a Saturday afternoon. Furthermore, DO NOT allow the smallest child to ride in the cool race car and the other two to push their own kid sized grocery carts. You will spend more time apologizing to all of the

I will have to admit that this birthday has made me a little teary....my baby is 3! It just seems so much older than 2! She is not a baby anymore! Despite her silly Mommy, we had a good day. She took treats to school and as per our family tradition, she got to choose her place to eat dinner. Much to my delight she chose Pei Wei because she wanted "edamame and a diet coke." She ate her little

with a special emphasis on splashin'! After our festivities last Saturday and all of the outside play the kids were dirty beyond words. Needless to say, a bath was in order. We decided to put Will and Sophie in together and the chaos ensued! We had to dry the walls and I had to change clothes! They thought it was a blast and they really liked their mohawks!

This weekend we went to Knoxville for a bit of fun and frivolity. It seems that we have 6 family birthdays in April so we decided to have one big party. This April was especially special because it was Jadyn's first birthday with us. The other birthdays included Dann, Sophie, Zac, Patsy (aunt), and Stacy (cousin). Amanda's friend Melissa made the cake and I thought it was extra cute! It tasted

It is good for the soul....but terrible for the hips! I got a bag of this snack mix (and some others) for Dann for his birthday on Thursday. This morning before church he opened this one and asked me if I wanted a bite. I had a handful and then he left it sitting beside my computer and we went to church.

We spent a little time under the Golden Arches tonight as a treat for our kids. We NEVER go there for dinner so they were very surprised when we pulled in and parked. It is more of a get the kids out of the house and talk to some other moms for lunch kind of place. As usual, the play place offered an interesting cross section of the population.

Tonight we had the privilege of taking Johnny home from church. If you do not know Johnny, he is a man who attends our church. Johnny is blind and he has an interesting gift with numbers. He can remember most any one's birthday that he knows. He remembers the month, date and year you were born and when he learns your birthday for the first time he can tell you "You were born on a Friday" or

Today was the official start of Elijah's baseball season. He is playing with most of the same kids from the last few seasons but now they are the Astros instead of the Braves. I thought he looked so handsome in his new uniform (he rolled his eyes) and I am so happy it is not white on white like the Braves uniform (Elijah is an enthusiatic slider and it is hard to get a white uniform clean!)

We spent a fun spring break day with the Gibsons and the Chapmans and Emily K. at the Adventure Science Center. We got there early and stayed most of the day. The kids had a great time. The ASC is a really cool place with lots of interactive exhibits. My favorite is the Body Quest. The exhibit takes you thru all of the systems that make up your body.

Dann's baby sister is having heart surgery in the morning (3-19-08). If you will please take a moment to pray for her we would greatly appreciate it! She is having a valve replaced or repaired (they will not know until they get in there). Thank you and I will give you an update when I know more. ~Good night~

Last night we made the trek to Opry Mills to spend some birthday gift cards. The Hoods got Macklin a Build-a Bear gift card and Elijah had Game Stop gift cards from the Hoods and the Gibsons. Sophie got an early birthday gift from Mommy and Daddy so she got to build a bear too! Macklin's High School Musical Bear. She chose bejeweled crocs for her too but they were in the box!

I have known them both for several years and I just love them! They both are very much "what you see is what you get" type of people (that's the kinda people I like).

Sophie was sitting on my lap tonight and I noticed she was closely studying my face. Finally she said "Mommy, Daddy and the cats have whiskers and you have frinkles!" Now, I am not entirely sure what "frinkles" are but my best guess is it is a combination of freckles (had them all of my life) and wrinkles (a glorious by product of being on the other side of 30). All I can say is whatever

I miss the little guy who always told everyone "hi-ya" and loved his meet-meet (blanket) but at the same time I am intrigued by all that he is becoming. He is so insightful and thoughtful, always making sure that everyone is okay. I love seeing his talents develop, whether it is piano, baseball or in

After taunting me for months from atop the hill with it's shiny red sign the day is finally here! SUPER TARGET is open! We went tonight for a brief shopping trip with Elijah's gift card (Tech Deck ramps and skateboard) and left with a nifty bag of samples. Sophie enjoyed the cupcakes, salsa and chips, fruit and other samples that abounded! Trouble is that she will expect this every time we shop

Tonight Sophie got her sippy cup and was drinking as fast as she could. When she finished she told her Daddy..."I finished my LARGE sweet tea!" Maybe she has heard her Mommy one too many times in the Sonic or McDonald's drive thru ordering fuel for the day!By the way, since she finished her LARGE sweet tea after church tonight (it was really only about 2 ounces) I just now got her to go to sleep!

Today is a snow day and I will admit that I was a bit under prepared for serving lunch at home. When the time came I managed to create something acceptable. The only problem I encountered was that I was out of Kool-Aid and I only had a splash of milk. So, I made some sweet tea.When I served lunch I handed Macklin her glass and she said "Is this tea?" I answered "Yes." "Can I have some water? I

What a fun time! Elijah and Macklin had their 7th and 1oth birthday party and I believe everyone had good time. Our themes this year were Star Wars and Hannah Montana. The girls came dressed like rock stars and the boys brought their light sabers! We also had a karoke machine and discovered that Sophie is a microphone hog!

Honestly, we do not sit around talking politics with our kids all of the time! While I was writing the post regarding Sophie, Macklin was very busy writing something. This is not unusual for her. She writes stories/books every day. She had no idea what I was writing and I had not told the older kids what Sophie said about Paul Harvey, which makes her story even funnier. Her book (pictured above)

Today when Sophie and I got into the car the radio came on . The dial was set to 1510 WLAC talk radio. I was trying to back out of a parking space so I wasn't really paying attention until Sophie asked "Mom, is that Barack Obama?"

Elijah is growing up and branching out a little more each day. I know that many have gone before me and can relate. We often wonder if he is retaining any of the values that we try to instill in him everyday. Today he asked to ride his bike a little further today than he ever has before. He was going with a couple of neighbor friends whom I trust. They play together most afternoons. I

What better way to celebrate our founding fathers' birthdays than to have pizza with a rat in a hat? For the first time ever Sophie decided that she is afraid of Chuck E. Cheese. She kept saying "He's going to eat me, he's going to eat me!" We assured her that he only eats pizza and cheese but she was not so sure about that. We had fun anyway and I will admit that the Deal or No Deal game is a

Sadly, Sophie learned it is never good to stick your gum in your hair! Thankfully, I had a jar of peanut butter handy! It works every time :}.

I know everyone has just been on the edge of their seats.....so I thought I would let you know that the Zehrmobile has officially taken a trip to the car wash. It was everything I expected and more! Sophie started screaming when we got in line and did not stop until we were finished. I somehow thought that taking ALL of the kids would make it better but alas, I was wrong. Elijah and Macklin went

Happy Valentine's Day! I thought I would take this opportunity to list a few reasons I love my valentines! I love the way Dann's eyes crinkle when he smiles, the way he always thinks of me first and yes, I love to hear him sing :). I love the way when Elijah tries something new he really sticks with it until he gets the hang of it. I love Macklin's creativity and her free spirit. She makes us all

Most everyone that reads this blog knows that our church was involved in a Sacred Gathering the last few nights. It was awesome and there will be lots to learn (for me personally) and lots to hear about how God moved thru all of the time of prayer, fasting and worship. That brings me to my first thoughts about the experience. Fasting is something I had not experienced before. I was present at the

Okay, in my defense, I am rarely in my van without Sophie and car washes freak her out. Since it is the dead of winter I am not inclined to drag out the hose, soap, sponge and bucket.That being said, If you are going to have a dirty car you might as well make the most of it. Elijah took the opportunity to use the dirt to create a family portrait. I laughed out loud when I went to the driveway and

In case you were wondering what 15,000 beads looked like......here they are. Now, I did not count them I am simply trusting in the fact that there is some truth remaining in adveritsing and it says 15,000 on the box. As you can see Lucy (the cat) is equally intrigued. So far we have not had any major tragedies with the box of 15,000 but I will keep you posted!

Today Macklin begins her 7th year of life. We had a fun day of cupcakes at school and a trip to the Golden Corral (her choice ,I promise). She said wanted to go to the Golden Corral because she likes their desserts. We have only eaten at Golden Corral two times in her seven years and both times it was in Cookeville. So, we googled and found that locally there is one in Franklin and one in

Honestly, we are a healthy family 99% of the time but this has not been our winter at all. The current tally is as follows:Ashley and Sophie: Strep throat for ChristmasElijah: Strep throat from classmate at school just after returning from Christmas break.Sophie: Double ear infection two weeks agoSophie: Stomach virus this past Friday night. Elijah: Not feeling well Saturday evening, fever

I went to Andie's blog and found that she had written about a personality test that she found on her cousin's blog. I decided to give it a try....what do you think? Is it me? I kind of take exception to the wishy-washy part. I am usually pretty decisive about things.....but you know this if you "get me" The loves to show off is a bit overstated in my opinion also. I can't help it if I live

In my previous post I wrote that there were 16 cousins on Dann's side of the family......Well, all that is about to change! We got an email from Dann's sister Deanna and her husband Jeff (parents to Brian, Thomas, Matthew and Natalie) they are adopting a child from Liberia! Their paperwork is complete and they are waiting on a match. They will probably be matched with a girl age 7-10. Please

in Indiana......okay not for me but for Dann. Elijah and Dann sing the song (Back Home Again in Indiana) everytime we cross the bridge from Louisville into Indiana. We spent the New Year holiday with Dann's family. We met in the Indianapolis area where both of Dann's sisters live. His brother, his wife and 7 (yes 7) kids and Dann's mom and stepdad traveled down from Ft. Wayne. There are 16

It is late coming but here are some photos from our East Tennessee Christmas. Despite illness we had a good time and Papa Ben and Grannie Annie went a little crazy (much to our children's delight) with the gift giving! We spent Christmas Eve at Sissy and Darryl's house but since my temp was 102.8 I only managed to snap a couple of photos. The worst part of being sick at Christmas is that I missed

We had the privilege of going to the airport on Sunday to see Seth off to Malaysia. It was dicey for a while but he got to go. Amy retells the story on her blog. We are so proud of him and cannot wait to hear of his adventures! He made it safely to Malaysia but his luggage did not. Seth is keeping a blog also so we are all waiting to hear if his luggage ever shows up! It is said that nothing

Okay, I'm better......the official diagnosis was scarlet fever and strep throat. Sophie only had strep so that is good! I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Our season was fun filled. Sophie was an angel in the CLC Christmas play and Elijah's school did the play Santa, You've Got Mail. It explored all of the holidays in December so we learned a little more about Kwanza and Hannukah too! The

I hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas! Sadly, Sophie and I have celebrated Christmas from a horizontal position! Don't know what it is but I wish it would leave! Fever, cough, sore throat, headache, oh my! All in all we are having a very merry and next year this might even be funny! I will post photos of the festivities later, needless to say I will not be appearing in many holiday photos!

I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving weekend! We did not travel out of town for the first time in our almost 13 years of marriage. We were blessed to get to spend the day and eat lots of good food with the Hoods and Goens. It was a fun and relaxing time! The pictures are from Sophie's CLC Thanksgiving and from Thanksgiving day. I like the one of the two little turkeys laying on the

Really.....what's the point of having a blog if you don't brag on your kids? Elijah and Macklin came home today with perfect report cards. Elijah had straight A's again! The kid's really smart! Macklin had straight E's (1st grade A's) in all of the academics. She had an I (improving) on handwriting and talking so she clearly favors her Mother. I thought it was interesting that Macklin's teacher's

The assignment was entitled Turkey Dressing and the challenge was to disguise a turkey so that he would not be eaten for Thanksgiving dinner. With the help of some spiffy scrapbook paper from Jana (his suit is velvety), I think Macklin's result (with a little help from Mom) was GREAT. Her teacher loved it!

Life with a two year old can be quite an adventure! All of these images except the one with Bubba teeth was captured this evening. Nothing like a little Nancy Sinatra, a feather boa and a little blue paint to make and evening complete! Be sure to check out the video below.

Our Fall Fest was today at church. Our small group sponsored a bake sale with the proceeds going to Operation Christmas Child. We had a good time making the goodies and we almost sold out. Each family took home a couple of things. The kids had a great time and Dann was a good sport to take them to all of the booths and games. Thanks to Ruth. Alan and crew for a well organized, fun event!

Okay, not really, but we had fun! Saturday night we attended a costume party with Dann's Sunday morning bible study group. Thanks to Tina and Randy Hutchinson for hosting! The challenge was to dress as something from the '80's. We had the Blues Brothers, Greg Alman and Cher, Ms. Pacman, Weird Al Yankovich, Slash (Guns n Roses) and his groupie, Telly Savalas, Janet Jackson, Ann Wilson (from Heart)

It's the most wonderful time of the year (imagine the tune in your head)..........back to school! In reality, we have really had a good summer. We stayed busy most days swimming and hanging out with friends. We are learning new things at our house.......Sophie is the proud owner of a new pack of Ariel panties and is working hard not to "pee pee on Ariel" (her words)!I am learning not to panic!

We were blessed to spend a week in Hilton Head with the Norris family and our parents. It was a fabulous time and great weather. I observed a few things that we learned while we were there:1. Strollers do not float.......Sophie pushed hers into the pool the first day we went to the pool, it sank.2. It is possible to hit a squirrel on the head with a fun noodle (accidentally, of course).

Okay, so I can't possibly write anything about how it is to be a Father. However, I can write about what it's like to have a GREAT one! Most kids come away from childhood with a pretty good relationship with their Dad, but I am pretty sure I could win a prize with mine. My Dad is pretty close to the funniest person on earth.

Well, yesterday was the first "official" day of summer break and we survived! We started the day by going to the school and picking up Elijah and Macklin's report cards. I could not be more proud! Elijah made honor roll every six weeks and made straight E's in every subject except one S+ in reading one six weeks. A parent couldn't really ask for more. Macklin mastered all of her Kindergarten
