    Cali has been learning dance and gymnastics moves from her cousins.

    a sunny day!

    a sunny day!

    Wednesday was beautiful. We got sun burns. I was outside from 11:30am until the sun went down and it felt wonderful. We kicked the soccer ball around. Benji and I played a little baseball. Ray didn’t want to be left out.

    I can’t believe how big she is getting. She still has jowels and chubby hands and fuzzy fuzzy hair.

    I told Raymond that I was going to sit down and watch the USA hockey game. Next thing I know he was bringing me all of the hockey sticks and goals so that we could play. That Sunday he got the uncles to play hockey with him. We keep holding our breath that at least one of our kids will really love sports 🙂

    Rose loves games right now. She and Cali are relentless in asking me to play with them throughout the day. Their favorite is still Spot It but they enjoy Apples to Apples and Candyland, Fibber and Disney Headbanz.

    packer project

    The king of projects was back at it this week – Packer built this “City” with all of his favorite toys. I’m pretty sure he has a similar “city” in the neighboring cousins basement.

    It won’t be long now until she’s running around with the rest of them!

    The girls really wanted haircuts and they really needed them so I just got the scissors out and went for it. I’m afraid Rose is losing her curls – this was her first trim so I was very hesitant. She has some curl left but not like she used to.

    Her favorite spot is still the bumbo. SHE LOVES IT.

    get out of the bathroom!

    Raymond is trouble! He is. He is always looking to explore and get into things. My other kids were angelic in this department and he is not. He learned how to open doors this week so now nothing is safe: the game closet, the bathrooms, the front door and the worse one, the pantry! He raids the pantry whenever he gets hungry and looks for treats!

    I think we’ve got a toy/baby stuff problem going on in our family room! One more reason we love our new bigger house. Good bye February

    Cub Scout Cake Eating Contest

    No Comments

    We went to Benji’s Blue and Gold celebration this week for cub scouts.Actually we are the Wolf Den Leaders so it’s kind of our thing too. Instead of the traditional dinner we did a cake decorating contest and cake eating contest. Benji was awarded scariest cake for his little monsters.

    No Comments

    My niece turned 19 last week so we had her over for Sunday dinner. She is at BYU and is getting ready to put in her mission papers! She brought a boy and we let Sean and Brady and Casey and Joel and Megan come 🙂 We love having so much family close by.

    Look at that full kitchen table! That is one of the main reasons we wanted to move. Our new kitchen is great!

    Baby Over Load

    Baby over load – But they are soo cute! I love these cute little babies and I love it when life slows down just a little bit, just enough for me to sit and snuggle and enjoy them.

    homework is horrible

    No Comments

    This is the first year that homework has been a struggle. Benji hates his Cursive and hates that I make him do the full 20 minutes of reading. He was reading at night but has decided he doesn’t like that as much.
    Packer just doesn’t like homework. He is so burnt out by the time he gets home that he truly cannot focus. Problem is he NEEDS to focus. He NEEDS homework. He needs help on his reading and he needs help on spelling. I’ve tried to let him wait until after dinner but it just doesn’t get done if we do. So we will keep plugging away because really homework isn’t horrible. Packer is learning a lot from it. Both boys do better in school when we do better with homework.

    and then there is Cali who like to give herself homework. She just started bringing home word group papers from preschool and she asks me to listen to her read almost every day. She is catching on fast. I think she will be reading very soon.

    Doesn’t Cali look so old here! 5 years old is big time 🙂 The boys are in the background checking their chores.
