Merry Christmas!

Oh yea!

Oh yea, I forgot I'm such a terrible person with the mind of a 95 year old... I forgot I have the kids Halloween pics for the School. Each kid was allowed to dress up as a book character for the classroom Halloween Party! (Now having looked at this, I really should have had them hold up the book with the pic) You know by the time these kids leave I should be getting the whole multi-kid, mothering for the ages, instant mom thing down.

AMBER BROWN

Rhubarb the Puppy (A Serendipity Book)

GO, DOG, GO! (Very appropriate if you know Jet)

Jet's Class put on a show for the parents, Henny Penny, and Jet was Ducky Lucky.

He got to QUACK!

And sadly Jet with his old teacher Mrs. McManus. He was switched to a new class which he seems to like, but I'm sad because we lost the veteran 20 year Kindergarten teacher.

Can't explain

Ok.... my apologizes to all.... I lost the Halloween and Thanksgiving Pics. I sent them from the camera to the computer and went to find them and....gone. So I'm going to retake pics of them in there costumes but for now here are the school pics.

Blog Update

So I've have a lot of people ask for a blog update, Halloween pics, etc. Just to let you guys know I'm going to try to do that over the weekend. We've been sick, first Casey and Logan with strep, when Kylie and Jet with some kind of flu or cold and then the worst of it all, MAMA GOT SICK!! Now that I'm feeling better I'll get some pics updated hopefully over the weekend....of course we do only plan one day at a time, because you never know what's going to happen around here.

Talent Show

So the girls performed in a Talent Show, they and 12 other girls learned, practiced, and performed two Hawaiian Dances. Skylar, not wanting to dance in front of the other girls, was probably one of the best ones up there that night, her shyness went right out the window.

And YES the music playing (not like the music they used, but same words) and Yes they did know the words and motions.

Skylar's in the front row and Casey's in the back. I can see them but I knew where they were.

Sorry

I'm so sorry it's been so long, Steve had Pneumonia for 3 weeks and Kylie just got better from being sick, add to that school and homework, birthday parties and getting ready for Halloween, a church talent show (the girls will be dancing a Hawaiian dance with 10 other girl from church) and just the other normal stuff, groceries, doctors, etc. WOW after that I guess I can see why it's been so long. LOL

SO...

Picture Day was Sept 16, Casey's came back great, Skylar's picture was after recess so she needed a retake, and Jet didn't know what it was so he through his in the trash, so he got a retake too. As so as Skylar and Jet's retakes come in I'll post them. But this was the morning of the 16th.

So Daddy or Uncle Chris (depending on who's family is reading this) came for a surprise visit on Sept 18 and 19. We took the kids outside to play after dinner, and when we saw the truck coming we had them sit on the hill. Nobody thought anything was going on til Casey saw Chris and starting yelling "Daddy, Daddy" and Skylar (as if she knew what was going on) said "Daddy, we've been waiting for you" it was so cute. They all went for a walk together and used Chris as a human jungle gym, but had a lot of fun.

Waving Good-Bye

Then... Great Grandpa and ma came to visit Sept 25 and 26. They brought garden grown veggies and filled our freezer. We are loving all of the great veggies.

So this started out as me snuggling with Logan...

then Casey and Logan...

Then me, Casey, Skylar, Jet, Kylie, Logan, and Steve :)

Us saying Good-Bye

Oops

Sorry my non-computer-blog capabilities just showed up... I screwed up something with the slideshow for Mamaw's birthday so here it is! Sorry!

Happy Birthday Logan!

Logan's Birthday was awesome! This kid is a camera hog! All I would have to do is reach in the camera's direction and he would smile and say cheese! At one point I set his cup and the camera on the counter, he pointed and said more... I, of course, picked up the cup and he said no... so I picked up the camera and he smiles and says cheese. CAMERA HOG!!!!

Also, he ate his cupcake icing with a spoon... he finish the icing and ice cream but left the cake!

Happy Birthday to Mamaw!

For Mom's Birthday we went back to the gemstone mine and the drive thru zoo. I remembered as we there getting ready to leave the mine to snap some quick pictures. At the zoo we did the walking trails, it was mostly birds and plant but some new things and an air show down the road. We enjoyed some cake and ice cream and we all had a great time!

Getting off the Bus

We got home and asked what he did today, he replied, "No, let me tell you what I ate." He was so excited about the self-service lunch and the pizza. I guess a white shirt wasn't just a good idea for pizza day!
