I Don't Know Where to Start...

How do I fill in nearly two years of life that I've failed to document on this blog?

I don't even know.  It stresses me out.

So, I will just start here, in the present.  This is a general update of Mama Rantz and Company.

Cooper, our little mascot, is busy.  He is so funny, so full of joy, and so adorable.  Everywhere we go, everyone knows Cooper.  He wants to be a big kid.  When Max and Lucy ride their scooters through the neighborhood, Cooper puts on his helmet and is ready to go (but all he can really do is stand on it).


Max and Lucy are also quite busy, but when they are home, they most enjoy just relaxing by playing Minecraft on their iPods.  I don't know anything about Minecraft, but their "worlds" are somehow connected.  Lucy is still in ballet, and Max is playing baseball on the Reds.  They still love books, so after a trip to the library, I loved the sight of them sitting close and being quiet and still and enjoying their finds.


Joe is on varsity baseball this year, and we go to the games when we can. He seems to be doing well in school, baseball keeps him busy, and he works at The Sleep Shop on Saturdays.  It is so crazy to think that he will be 18 years old this summer and begin his senior year of high school this fall.

Cooper liked to try several different seats

Max and Olivia, just because she is so yummy!!
Devon is playing softball on two teams. We haven't made it out to support him yet, but seriously, it is a hard sell to get the kids to another game during the week!

And I am wrapping up the Tuesday night Bible study that I have come to LOVE.  I am in the greatest group of women, and we have all grown so close.  I am so happy to be a part of this community.  It was just what I needed.

Me and my schmoop
This is a video of Joe's intro at Raley Field last week.



Well, it isn't much, but it is something!!
