I am alive...I think.

So, it's really been a while. I haven't even been that busy, I just didn't have much to report on, but now I do. I am just going to do a little update on our family since I haven't blogged in awhile.

Kylee...Kylee is hilarious. She really is getting to be a "teenager" she has some attitude, but most of the time it is pretty funny. She is starting to say things like "I believe you are forgetting something" and "I am completely sure, hello!?!" Oh boy, oh boy, is all I have to say.
The other day our neighbor friend decided he wanted to ride a bike like Kylee (who decided to teach herself how to ride a two wheeler) so she decided to try and help him. She is pretty much holding up the bike for him. FUNNY! Yesterday Kylee "graduated" from pre-school.
Her teacher, Mrs. Steele, had a very fun graduation planned for everyone. The kids all dressed up in their Sunday best, and she even made graduation caps for them. I have been so impressed with Mrs. Steele. We really love her, and we are glad Jack will be starting with her in the fall.



Jack...Jack is just a funny bugger. Anything that has to do with poop, or hitting, or balls, or anything the least bit revolting just seem to drag Jack in. We went for a little hike for memorial day, and anytime there was any sort of poop on the ground he was there looking at it like he was making a discovery. He is really into the movie the Labyrinth right now, it is hilarious, he will make me say this with him...he will say "you remind me of the babe" then I have to say "what babe?" then he says "the babe with the power"...."what power?"...and so on OVER AND OVER!! Funny boy. A couple nights ago he just started crying, the crying just got worse and worse. I went down and his eyes were open, and he was screaming....crying, but he was totally out of it. I tried to ask him what was the matter, but he wouldn't respond to me, just cry almost like he was in pain. It was so hard. I prayed to know what to do, and just thought...leave him a lone, let him come to by himself. So I did, and slowly he came to. He doesn't remember any of it. Well, the same thing happened last night. I have been googling it, and I think it is NIGHT TERRORS....I am so sad. I don't know how to deal with this kind of stuff. Any help would be great!

Mia....Mia is getting one of her molar teeth, and has had a runny nose for the past two weeks. Poor little thing. She is absolutely at the funnest stage right now. I love it. She is all over the place, but she is so fun. She is starting to say things (not really for anyone else to understand but me) She says touch down and reaches for the sky. She says ma ma for pretty much anything. She points to her nose when you ask her where it is, she says d d for silky. She just runs all over and most of the time it is in a kooky way! She LOVES animals, if she sees a bird, she freaks, dog...freaks, cat...freaks. She just loves them all. Last night at the graduation Mrs. Steele's dog Charlie was walking around and she was going nutty-nuts. She was kind of mauling him, and I think he got a little short with her and nipped at her....scared her to death! Funny though.

Well, I am not going to wait that long to post again, cause that was entirely too long. Sorry, and congrats if you got all the way through it.

Consider the Lilacs of the field


Aren't Lilacs so gorgeous. Oh, and they smell so DIVINE! The only thing that really makes them more beautiful is when my babies are next to them. (I know my kids aren't babies, but let me be, okay?) My in-law's have some Lilac bushes in their back yard and we did some family pics on Mother's day. My sister-in-law Barbs took some of the pictures. I LOVE THEM! This was my favorite. Kylee is getting so old and big, she is just so beautiful! Oh, I just love my kids! What a great life I have!

Family Home Evening


Tonight was a fun night. Joe's parents, and Barbara, came over to our house tonight for FHE. Margaret wanted to do the lesson, and the treat, so we provided the house and the children to eat the treat! It was my favorite kind of lesson....MUSIC! I love music. Sitting with my children singing songs from the primary children's songbook has to be one of the best feelings in the world. It brought back a ton of memories of when I was young, singing with my family, especially my mom. What an awesome voice she had. I miss her so much. I hope I can be as good of a mom as she was. Anyway, back to FHE. Margaret decided to get a tiny children's song book for each of my kids, and a big one for us (I know horrible that we didn't already have one) I thought it was so nice. Then she brought over yummy sugar cookies and we frosted them with purple frosting. One of the songs we sang was about lilac's, and she brought some lilacs over for us, so we did purple flowers! It was a fun night. I am blessed with an AMAZING family!
