Change is in the air

The kids have made some big changes this month. H has started to stand and take a few steps. He isn't sure he wants/needs to walk, so he is taking it slow (he is a FANTASTIC crawler and gets anywhere he wants). He is turning in to a toddler more and more everyday. He will not leave the dog food/water alone, loves exploring in the bathroom (i.e. MUST leave the lid on toilet down and door closed, now get the husband to do it), climbs the stairs, and has started coloring on things if he finds a pencil. Ya, life is getting more extreme with this little guy.
K got a hair cut! It took a little convincing, but she finally took the plunge. She even did it on her own. I sent her to grandma's house, and I guess she asked grandma to cut it (luckily my mom knew I had just tried to get her to cut it earlier that day). She came home with this cute little bob. She loves that it is so fast to fix. I love that it is easy to fix AND looks so much thicker. There is hope for her hair yet.
And....D has a MARVELOUS mustache. Okay, not really, but he got the mustache from a treasure box prize a school. He earned it by being good (i.e. not talking all the time). HOOORAYYYYYY! I know he is capable of shutting his mouth, it is just really hard for him, and he is doing so much better. I am proud of his progress.


On a side note, this is one smart kid. I know this is braggy, but he amazes me. He is in 1st grade and he came home and explained the concept of multiplication to me (ya, I think I might have been in Jr. High before that clicked). I thought his teacher was really getting into math, then we went to parent teacher conference. She was impressed that we were teaching him about multiplication (?????). We said we hadn't and then we asked him who taught him. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "It was easy, I just figured it out." WOW, he did not get my math smarts, that is for sure. Crazy boy even asks me to write him multiplication tests almost every day. Hope he uses that big brain for great things.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
