Zach singing "The Very Best Part of Christmas Time"

This is a song Zach learned in Preschool for their Christmas program.

Christmas Fun

Gavin's first Christmas! He liked Santa. The Kids had fun dressing up in nativity gear and singing primary songs for a family dinner. I thought these pictures turned out really cute. We visited Santa at the mall the next day.

Tanner's report card

Tanner received his report card today. They don't receive actual grades but he received all Y's! You can get a Y for Yes-on target, a P for partial mastery, or an N for needs to improve. He is doing really well. He is good at math, spelling and his journaling(writing) is really nice too. He is also getting so good at reading, that Mom is not going to be able to spell out words to Dad anymore! I guess I better be more careful about the Christmas list I keep on the computer too. I remember my mom used to keep hers in shorthand. Now I see why!!!

All about Gavin at 6 months

He is a happy boy! We have had people ask us if he is “always this happy”, and he is generally pretty happy!

He loves his Dad so much, that when Dad comes home from work he practically leaps out of Mom’s arms to get to him. He loves for him to carry him around so he can look at all the happenings in the house and still be safe! That is important in our home!

He had two little teeth just shy of 4 months old, and they are as cute as can be. It looks as if he may get some more pretty soon.

He is getting more and more hair. And it is…brown! It looks like Megan’s hair. She is quite proud of this.

He started crawling in the last week or so, really well. He pulls himself up to the couch and stairs and it is rather frightening. After he pulls himself up, he doesn’t seem to know what to do. So he either eventually cries or falls! Ouch!

He still does his little pose where he sits on his side and leans on his elbow and just sort of hangs out!

He loves to jump in his Jumperoo.

He loves solid food. When he bit off too big of a piece of cracker, when Mom took it he let it be known that he was not happy!

He is loved so much that sometimes it is too much when his three siblings are mauling him simultaneously!

As of November 14, he is cutting four teeth all together on the top! Ouch! I can't believe it! He is going to look way too old.

We are very happy he is in our home and he is very loved.

First snow of the year...

A few weeks ago before all this unusually warm weather, we had some snow. The kids were so excited and wanted to get in all their gear to play in it before it melted. Tanner made the snowman entirely by himself and he and Zach had a snowball fight and made snow angels. It is hard to believe there was snow after all this warm weather. Halloween was downright balmy! I keep dressing the kids in long sleeved shirts and they get hot!

Jensen Look a like meters...let it be known that I do have a child that looks like me(Jen)...scroll down for the proof!
