Time Flies!

Time sure has flown by but we're still here. I received a reminder asking if we still wanted to keep the blog active. Oops!

Here's an update from the Ledford's...

Brennley
Now in the third grade and LOVING it. She has found her groove in reading and is motivated by her reading log/journal. Thank goodness!

Amelia
She loves third grade too. I recently heard her tell Hudson that third grade is the most challenging year yet and you have to pass a test in order to make it to the next grade.

Both girls are very active with several activities, currently involved in Girl Scouts, religious education, 4-H, cheer, dance, choir, swim and basketball. As the seasons change, she'll swap out basketball for volleyball. They definitely keep us on our toes and moving!

Hudson
Our sweet and caring boy is now riding the bus and we've noticed a bit of a change. I guess that's to be expected. We can't keep them little forever, right? He's still sweet but we have had to correct him a time or two. Ugh! Hudson is loving kindergarten. He has the same teacher as Amelia did and we are thankful.

Chandler
She is sweet, spunky and keeps all of us laughing. She is at the same in-home daycare but will be starting school in the fall. She is counting down the days as she wants to be with her bigs. :) She does a pretty good job keeping up with them and is their biggest cheerleader.

We are so blessed and really do love our chaos! There are moments that I feel like I can't keep up with the pace but honestly, the saying is so true..."The days are long but the years are short!"

Stop and enjoy each moment!

It's about time...

...for an update!

If anyone is reading this, I apologize for the delay. Holy cow...it's been so long since I've been on here.

Where do we begin?

The girls are in second grade this year. They LOVE it and we are looking forward to a great year with some awesome teachers. They are currently playing soccer and cheering. Amelia has informed me that this is her last year of cheer while Brenn has shared that she is not playing soccer since it is on the BIG fields now. The thing is - they both do a great job in the one that they want to give up. :( I'm sure we'll find other things to keep us busy.

Hudson is just as busy. He is in Pre-K this year, 5 days a week. He is making lots of friends. He is the sweetest! He also plays soccer and LOVES it. He is playing flag football for the first time too. His first game he threw a pass for a touchdown and had 2 hand-offs for touchdowns.

Last but not least, Chandler. She is such a trooper. She loves playing with her Bubby and babies, she does her best keeping up with the older three and is so sassy! She makes us all giggle and keeps us on our toes.

Shane and I are doing well too. Busy with keeping up but enjoying these babes!

Thanks for checking in! We'd love to hear from you...it's been awhile. ;)

2016 Tyler William Roth Scholarship

Congratulations to Kial Renae Beach! Kial is the recipient of the 2016 Tyler William Roth Scholarship. The Roth Family wishes you well in your future endeavors!

Blessed

Shane and I have been blessed! Supportive and loving family and friends, 4 kiddos, careers that we love, health and so much more. I never knew what my life would look like but I'm so thankful. As I head back to work, I have a flood of emotions but most of all, gratitude that God has blessed us. Life isn't always easy or PERFECT but somehow we manage and make it work.

Here are some pictures from maternity leave. I truly enjoyed my time with the kids. They mean the world to me!

Hopefully I can get back into the routine of posting so it isn't so long in between. Take care!
Love,
The Ledford's

Have you heard?

The Ledford's are growing...again!

We are a little over half-way there - Due July 7. We are very excited for the new addition and will try to keep everyone up-to-date. However, it is more challenging than ever to update the blog. Feel free to check-in on Facebook or email. I'm always post there for family and friends.

Thank you for checking in!

God bless you and yours,
The Ledford's

A couple weekends ago, we were lucky to host our dear friends, the Haas' and Kumpf's for a day/weekend of family fun! We met at the Children's Museum to take in their holiday exhibit and of course the SLIDE!

It was great catching up with Katie and her crew - Ali and Andrew have grown so much since I saw them last. Of course, my crew can never get enough of the Haas'. We hope to see everyone again soon!

Here are a few pictures of our fun day!

Seven years...how'd that happen!?!?!

Shane surprised me with a trip to Michigan for our 7th anniversary. So fun! It's not every day we get to go on a date!
