Special day

Today is a special day! Elizabeth is 5 today! She has had a fun day so far. She had a special birthday sticker she has worn at school. The lunch ladies all sang to her and gave her a candy bar. Tonight we are having some cake/cookies/ice cream. And Sunday we will be having a birthday party. I am so blessed to have my little girl in my life! She is really turning into a beautiful young lady.

Kids

Well first off I want to thank everyone that supported Elizabeth in her math-a-thon, she raised $150! Her goal was $50. On another note the kids went to the Doctor and the boys will be seeing an allergy/asthma doctor in about two weeks, I will be excited to find the cause of bronchial/ sinus issues. The kids are growing Elizabeth is 37.8 pounds and 40.75 inches. Jachin is 31.4 pounds and 38.50 inches Jesse is 31.2 pounds and 38.75 inches

Silly sayings by Jesse

This morning I had Jesse up on my bed and I was putting his socks on, he asked me what I was doing, so I told him that I was getting his socks on. I then asked him what he was doing his reply, "Um, sitting here for a couple of weeks." I told him he was so funny and gave him a kiss and he said "thank you, thank you." Just now he went to wake up his brother and sister, turned the light on in their room, and they a

re in there saying "its too bright". Jesse came back out of the room and said, "I cant wake them up mom, I am not strong enough to wake them up, oh look I am strong enough to read the Bible" (he saw their little Bible on the desk). Last Sunday at Children's Church, the kids were taking about what they want to be when they get bigger, Jesse said "Um, I want to be a triangle."

Lost...and an update on us

I was helping teach a class and happened to be at recess the same time that the boys class was at recess. The boys spend most of their recess playing with each other. They have other kids that play with them as well but they are generally always in the same vicinity. Thursday I looked up and saw Jachin sitting on the gym floor all alone. Suddenly he spotted me in the chaotic crowd of kids and came up to me and said " Mom, I've lost Jesse, I cant find him." One of those moments that you cherish. The kids are doing well. Elizabeth is gearing up for her birthday, I think we are going to shoot for the beginning of December for her party. The boys are silly,and getting sillier everyday. We watched a 5 month old baby one day this week and Jesse helped me feed the baby his bottle. When the baby reached for the bottle while i was burping him, Jesse looked at him and said, "No, stop it, I will give you your bottle." The kids had a lot of fun helping with him, it was rather cute. Joe and I had our first parent teacher conference for Elizabeth about 1 1/2 weeks ago and received her report card. I will post it on here after Joe helps me scan it into our computer.

Faithful Fishies

Elizabeth was given a "faithful Fish" at school in August for walking in the hallway right (hands behind the back, etc). The fish is just a paper fish that is laminated and the teachers write the childs name on the fish with expo and it goes on a board in the hallway. At some point in the month all the fish are collected and one girl name and boy name are drawn at chapel. Elizabeth's name was drawn and this is what she picked as her prize.

USA

We are Happy to live in the USA.

We are thankful to all the troops that have and are fighting for our freedom.

Just for fun

Life...

Elizabeth has a dance recital on Saturday and Daddy will not be able to see it but Uncle Peaches is coming to fill in for Daddy and Paka. My other brother also graduates that day so it will be a busy day. Pictures to follow after the recital. On the other hand, there are days where you have to remember that 1. God did fall off His throne 2. Life will be ok, even if your puppy made a mess, your son went potty on you, you were late to work and the cucumbers some how got frozen in the fridge and seemed to have ruined your veggie tray that was for your bosses birthday party, and the fact that you drop your ipad and shatter the front. Again, life can only get better and I have much to be grateful for...including my puppy. :-) Sometimes though I have to stop and remind myself of that.

Pics for fun

Here are some funny pics we took the other day! Mater and Jachin were trying to take a nap together Sunday afternoon.

New Addition to the family

So we have a new addition to our family. Sir Tow Mater Moore. He is a havenese puppy and has been lots of fun but a little challenging as well.

Hey there

Well, life is busy as is ever.
Joe will be starting on line classes in a few months and around the same time Elizabeth will be starting school. We had a birthday party planned for the boys but had to postpone it as my grandma was really ill and then passed away. I have some pictures of my last time with my Grandma and the kids. Jachin so proudly kept telling Grandma that he was three and showing her his three fingers though she never opened her eyes. After we left Grandma Jesse told me that Grandma was so pretty.
One picture is my Grandma and Grandpa. My Grandpa passed away 10 years ago. Another picture is Jachin kissing Grandma goodbye and the other pictures is the kids with Grandmas puppy. The dog is a replica of a Doxin she had long ago, the dog was killed by a deer if I remember right and growing up this dog was always by the fireplace at my Grandparents farm.

Hi

So My mom has politely hinted that I should update a picture of the kids on my blog, the big pictures at the top to clarify. Life is going well. We have a ballet tea party tomorrow that Elizabeth and I are going to. The boys spent a week at Paka and Gma Suzies house and had a lot of fun with them and Uncles. Elizabeth is counting down for her turn to go for a week. Pretty soon she will be starting K-4 and will only get to stay a week with the Pakas and Grammies when it is a nonacademic week. We are also on the countdown at our household for some little people that are turning 3. Our family is starting on a new adventure and I will post here in the future about what that is, and to clarify- no it does not involve moving at all. But schooling and other cool things. Well I think it is time for my little ones to go to bed, it is about 7:25 and we didnt get naps today and mom has to finish up a project. Good night.
