Winter Jam 2009

My sister, April and our two nieces, Stella and Nova with Addie and Violet all went to the Memorial Coliseum to watch the Winter Jam concert. There were no presales tickets, and we ended up waiting in line for an hour and there were thousands of people who did not get a ticket! We were lucky! Kevin and Dave worked at the concert! It was awesome! We mostly wanted to see Toby Mac, the coolest and rockin Christian singer. Violet was having a blast.....but her bedtime came just before Toby came out, and she was out like a light! I was holding her and jumping and dancing and she never woke up! The next day she said, "I didn't get to see Toby Mac!"

Addie's Basketball Game

Addie shooting, and makes it! (She's in the pink shorts) She made 4 baskets in total. She also won the best sportsmanship award on her team for this game. She has such a great attitude out there, better than I thought! She also gets nervous and bites her nails, but she hussles down the court.
The league is called Upwards, and it is a Christian based basketball league. Their team is called the Hoosiers!

Violet's 4th Birthday Hannah Montana Style

Violet turned 4 on February 1. Yes, she likes Hannah Montana. She said that she wanted a cake with Hannah wearing high heels, well she didn't get that but she got a Hannah cake! She is so much fun. Kevin and I both agree that she has been such a blessing in our lives. Happy Birthday, Violet Rose Sieber

There's many more heads than this drying in our home, when people come in, they think we are nuts!

Happy Halloween

Amber's Race

I ran in a 4-mile race and my girls where there to cheer me on

Before the race

All pumped up to start!
Finished
I ran 4 miles in 30min55sec, a record for me, and I placed 8th out of 788 women. I was proud and very happy I did it! Anyone who wants to run in the Fort 4 Fitness half marathon next year, let me know!
