FAMILY UPDATES

I thought I would post what we have been up to lately. Jason is still working (thank goodness!) I am coming to a close as PTA president, woohoo! We have been slowly going through our stuff to either give to DI, throw away, or sell. We are planning on moving when the kids get done with school. Ethan wasn't to excited about moving but when he found out we were going to be closer to Teancum and Tarren he couldn't contain his excitement! Alexia got her retainer last week, it is a bright pink that glows in the dark, she is pretty excited about it. Ethan is starting to read, and we are so proud of him! Olivia and Kaeliana are my little helpers throughout the day or at least they try to be! Mya is growing so fast, I cant believe how time has flown! We hope all is well with everyone!

GOOD TIMES AND THE DENTIST

Last week we went to the pediatrician for well checks for Olivia and Mya. Olivia got four shots and Mya got a cocktail of shots! They received books for their suffering. A little later that afternoon Alexia and I had dentist appointments to get our teeth cleaned. We both came out with no cavities ya! The kids picked prizes out of the treasure chest and we took a picture of Kaeliana wearing her prize that she picked all by herself! We are doing great! Alexia and Ethan had jump rope for heart today at school, and they had alot of fun! Alexia's teacher is teaching her how to sew on the sewing machine. She has been sewing together patches and she is doing an excellent job, she even irons the seams open! She has an amazing teacher who happens to be my aunt!

MORE FUN AT THE PARK

PIZZA AND THE PARK

This past Saturday we went to the park and had pizza! The kids had a blast playing at the park and eating pizza! Ethan brings home a different book every week that he reads, if he passes it off he gets a coupon for a free personal pan size pizza from pizza hut every month! He was so excited to present his coupon and receive his pizza! We have a collection of coupons! It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed it! The kids had pizza all over their faces, but that didnt stop them from being adorable in front of the camera!

ALEXIA'S PIANO RECITAL

Alexia had her second piano recital last night. She did a great job! Her teacher likes her students to memorize their recital pieces. Lexi played two songs and nailed them both! She is such a good piano player, her teacher is always complimenting to us at how good she is! We are so proud of her!

OLIVIA'S BIRTHDAY

We celebrated Olivia's birthday this past week, and we had a lot of fun! We decorated the table with Tangled, and we watched The Princess and the Frog! The next night we watched Gnomeo and Juliet, and had a lot of fun! She got lots of clothes and some fun toys too! She got a few dress up clothes, she loves to dress up! She is growing up so fast! Before I know it she will be going to school! We love her so much, she is such a special little girl! Here are a couple of pictures that we took of her on her special day! If you cant tell she is pretty excited, she had oreo cookie all over her face!

10 Years Ago Today

It has been 10 years ago today since my Dad passed away. I miss him so much. I miss the smell of his cologne, I miss his smile, I miss the sound of his voice, I miss the sound of him whistling. I miss the way he gave his big bear hugs. I wish more than anything that my kids could experience those big bear hugs and spending time with him. I know that they spent time with him before they came down to me. Showing them pictures of Grandpa and telling them stories just arent the same as having him here. Today is a very hard day!
