Chloe just informed me late tonight that I was the "MOST MOST MOST MOST MOST prettiest mommy in this whole house." She is so sincere!
She, and she came over today and had my kids mesmerized by their silly songs and utter excitement over going through 500 early readers and getting SO excited about each of them that they remembered reading when they were little! They were so cute! And helpful. They put stickers on TONS of books. It would have taken me hours!
Have a great weekend!! I am praying for kids everywhere who are about to start school next week! Mine will start Monday Sept. 1st! Luckily we only have a few yards to travel to the classroom! ;) I've never been so excited about my students! ;)
How sweet!!! I love when Noelani will tell me I'm pretty and I haven't taken a shower or washed my face yet and my hair is in a pony tail. I think "does she really see me?!?!" Children are adorable! I LOVE the WHOLE HOUSE comment. So cute!!!
You would definintely be on tv if you were doing cartwheels at 80! Possible too, Jack Le Lang, you probably never heard of him because you are too young. He is a fitness guru.
I pointed out to Kimberly H. that you just called her an "80-year-old grandma". Go back and read it and see if you don't agree that that was the obvious inference. First, you call me your "old lady friend", then you call someone who is my age an "80-year-old grandma!" You're getting yourself in deeper and deeper, my dear! :-)
I don't feel jealous because I have been told that I am the prettiest mommy too. :) Guess we are far enough apart to not cause any problems. ;) Good luck with school!!
Colby's party was a grand time! Thank you ALL for coming and sharing with us! I HAVE to get some pictures on here. Of course ALEX PARTY MAN was there and I bet he will get his up before mine!!
Our neighbors are building on to their house. All I can think of is the flood of scorpions that are currently making their way to our house.
Our house is still a mess from getting new floors last week. But, at least I only paid $90 out of pocket for it all!
Adeline randomly says "Mommy, I love Jesus!" and "Jesus loves ME!" and that has helped remind me how true this is!! Oh...children...
I gave Jonah an "official" 1st gd. reading test (Texas Primary Reading Inventory) the other day just because I was curious and he mastered it completely so I guess that is a good way to begin home schooling this Sept!! YAY! I just went right to the final passage and it was a segment taken out of an Amelia Bedilia book, which he loves! ;) I always liked those, too! ;)
The other day Chloe got hurt and I was telling her how one day she could be a nurse and help others who get hurt and she was so perplexed and sad looking. I asked her what was wrong and she said "But, I just want to be a mommy when I grow up!" I hugged that girl a LONG time after that! I am SO thankful for that! ;)
We have a very cool owl up in our tall tree occasionally when we get home late at night. We hear it "whooo" and we run inside to get the flashlight. It turns its neck all around and then flies off within about a minute of us shining a light on it. It is HUGE and very neat!!
We had so much fun!! Thanks for having us!!! It was nice to see so many people and The Channel did great. I'm excited for Colby and you. I love reading your stories. I love your sweet children. :)
What wonderful Mommy moments to share with your kiddos! I can't wait until Ben starts talking better and putting phrases together like that! The party was rockin'!! We had a grand time with all you guys! :)
Great party! It remind me of one of the reasons I always liked Austin...lots of great Christians there. Need to visit more often like I used to when I was doing the camp thing.
Well, I guess I need to come over since you didn't get to hold him. :) I'm so excited about Marla & her parents meeting Jacob! Have you ever met her parents? They're awesome! :)
The party was fun! I thought the pot-luck portion was funny... with a younger crowd, alot of fruit and fried chicken (no cooking required), not alot of casseroles. hehhe
Friday is still good for me. I was thinking about having a little play group while the kids are here if that is okay with you. What time are you and Julie thinking?
Ashton is the early bird around here, but we are usually up by 8:30 and he usually goes down for nap at 1:00. Alayna usually goes back down around 10:30 and sleeps for a good couple of hours. I dont know for sure if we will have friends over, but we'll see. I guess it would be good if you sent them lunch that way they will know what they are getting to eat ahead of time:) Talk to you later!
Thanks! Your a great mom too! This year was a great time for us to go to the Circus both of our children are free! Robbie got a ticket for summer reading, and Kalli is to little to need a ticket! Yeah! I hope you all will get to go soon.
Well, not really. But, he does have his Master's degree as of Friday!!! YAY!! We had a great weekend in Dallas- Colby's parents, Andy & Heather, and our nephew Ashen! Six Flags was REALLY fun and hot. We survived and stayed till 11:00. Jonah and Chloe did GREAT!! I am so glad we went. It wouldn't have been as fun if Colby's parents had not been so helpful! The kids loved the rides!
FYI- if you take smaller children on roller coasters, go ahead and put your arm around their little heads so they don't bang their noggin too hard! I even video taped 3 of the rides! One day I will get some things up on here! Maybe now that Colby is done with school, our life will start getting normal around here! Yeah, right!! This weekend is the big celebration! Hope to see you!
