                                             This Christmas was so much fun!! The kids are at a fun age and
                                         love the spirit of Christmas. I am dreading the day they find out the truth about
                                      santa. Some one once told me "if they believe, they will recieve". And that's
                                        what I will live by. The holiday season is so much fun, from decorating the house and the christmas tree, to baking cookies putting lights on the house, shopping, wrapping presents, reading christmas stories, and driving around to look at all the lights. I cherish these moments with the kids because they grow up so fast. They enjoy all of this and we love going along with it.
However, I can't believe it is already over and the Christmas tree, lights and decorations will soon be taken down.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!

Halloween party

We had our traditional Halloween party back in the woods. The kids had fun on a nature walk, playing in the leaves and enjoying the fire. We sat around the campfire, roasted hotdogs, ate soup, chil and lots of goodies.

Emily and Clara

Silas didn't want to wear his costume

Sophy was a mermaid

Silas and his friend Apallo

Mary's costume was hallarious she had a dog stuck in her butt with a sign she held saying "lost dog call 1526666." The kids loved it.

Ayda as Jesse

I haven't posted in a long time but all the kids are doing good. Silas had a hard time going to school the first few weeks, he would cry and squeeze my neck as hard as he could. Ayda would walk right in and sit down. NOW Silas walks right in his classroom and Ayda will kiss me all over the face. But he doesn't cry at all and LOVES going to school. They all love going to school including Sophy. I recently got her a new luch box bc she had a hard time opening her lunch and I think she gave herself a stomache over it. But she is all good now but told me that she is BORED of looking at her containers that I pack and that she would rather have baggies ha ha ha. I laughed so hard, the things she comes up with.

First day of school

Today was the first day of school for the kids. Sophy had a nervous stomach ache but was excited. Bella came over for breakfast and pictures. They were all so cute. I tool Silas and Ayda first which the teacher had to pri off me because they didn't want to go it. It broke my heart but I knew they would be fine. Then sophy and I went home and walked to Lincoln.. That will be our normal routine because Sophy starts a little later. I told Sophy she better not go to the principals office ha ha ha.

I went to check on her at lunch and she told me to go home. Well I guess that's a good sign. She said she met a new friend, which was a little boy she was sitting by.

Here is Si & Ayda's 3rd birthday cakes. Silas is so into trucks and tools and Ayda princesses. Silas loves to work so Poppy & Grandma peg got him a kids blower and weed wiper, and bones got him some tools. He LOVES them. He will walk over to the neighbors and say "he has work to do". He will blow their leaves and weed wipe. He is a busy boy. Thanks to all our friends and family that came to celebrate with us.
