Rabbit Trauma

Ok, so really all of you will probably either laugh at me or just think our family is full of mean abusive animal haters but this post means a lot to me and I'm just really distraught right now and I'm not sure of what to do. We bought Jumper last April at the petstore and he has become a pretty important part of our family. I'm sure you've all had one animal who has touched your heart and made you really happy at one point or another. Well, yesterday I was holding him and as I went to put him back in his cage he literally flipped out and had a seizure/stroke whatever you want to call it. He's always made loud noises in his cage running around but never like this. I was pretty concerned when his neck was totally out of wack and he just looked like he was going to die. I kept an eye on him and then let him out again to see if he could walk. He had about 3 more of these attacks and now he can barely walk or eat. I talked to James and asked him if he noticed anything wrong with Jumper and he said it was because "anoynomous" threw him down the stairs because it was cool. I'm leaving this name "anoynomous" because it hurts me to know that one of my children would actually do something so hiddious and hurtful. I'm just at a loss of what to do because I hate to see Jumper suffer. I talked to a girl at work and she said that this "anonomous" person learned this from cartoons and since Bugs Bunny can bounce up and down stairs or be thrown into walls I am officially going to start limiting what my children can and can not watch. I would rather just take the whole tv away but that is how I can actually get stuff done around here. I guess if you know of any activities that the kids can do without TV I would love your advice. Just so I can get stuff done around the house and not have them learning how to torture animals... I think that was well said...

Whittle my Middle... Day 1

Ok so I'm just laughing because my friend from Washington is doing this whole "whittle my middle" thing and trying to loose weight. Well, she's like 100 pounds and looks like I did when I was in high school and looks almost perfect. Well, except for the one HUGE stretch mark that she photoshopped in her picture. Well,,,, ladies and gents you will NOT see any pictures of me YET because well here are my stats right now and I DO NOT LIKE IT...
Weight is 174
Size 12-13
I am excited to loose some weight AGAIN and hopefully I can keep it off because yes I would like to have another baby WHEN I loose 50 pounds. So... I guess all I can ask is just wish me luck!

Happy second birthday to Sierra...

Just two years ago I was holding my precious little girl in my arms in the hospital. I never thought having a girl would change my life so much. Sierra is just an amazing child who has the greatest spirit I've ever seen. We've gone through so much together and I HOPE we can continue to go through a lot more. Here are some things I love about my little CC!
1. She LOVES to sing... Everytime we are together in the car I'll turn on some music and in the back I'll hear her singing some of the words on key. One of her faves is Kenny Chesney, When I Close My Eyes. It's quite humorous when she sings that one but she is very good at it.
2. Sierra LOVES to dance... She knows how to work it. She dances fast for fast songs and slow for slow songs. 2 more years and we know where she'll be 24/6. Sunday is the day of rest in this family! ;)
3. Sierra is very curious... This girl is into EVERYTHING! I mean everything. From trash, to toilet, back to trash again. She's got to know what everything is all about.
4. Sierra has definately got her own personality. Some say she's like me but I somehow have to prove others. She is fiesty, and knows her place. It is probably from having two older brothers but she knows how to stick up for herself which is great!
5. Sierra LOVES her family. She is always willing to give hugs and kisses and say I love you to others.
There is so much more I love about this girl but I just wanted you to have a glimpse of what Sierra has been doing for the past two years and how she is becoming.

Happy Holidays already! I know I'm just a bit early. :)

A beautiful day...

Today was such a beautiful day and the kids were happy and looking so cute I decided to take some pictures of them to show family since I haven't done it in forever! It was a bummer we didn't have James or Jake with us but school and work take priority of fun I guess. :( Kidding, we have TONS of fun around here. Just happend they didn't make the pics today. Life has been good. I am loving my job at Gymboree and I'm heading to work for a few hours tonight which is good. It seems funny walking into the mall on a daily basis though. We actually just found out that Santa will be right near Gymboree this year at the mall so that is SUPER exciting! We are very excited for the holidays... I feel something happy in the air! :)

Soooo frustrating....

Ok, so today has been one of the most frustrating days ever!!!! My Facebook is sooo jacked up. It is saying I have no friends, won't let me chat with anyone but when it wants to... Maybe this is a sign saying GET RID OF FACEBOOK... But can I really do that? It feels like maybe I need to just get rid of it for awhile until I can get my life back together. I just love talking to my close friends and seeing what everyone is up to. Sometimes it is just nice to be in the loop to see if something wrong is going on or if something really cool is going on. I DUNNO'! But if you want to get in touch with me I probably won't be on Facebook for the next few days. I'm hoping that all 349 people didn't delete me though. I know my Farkle buddies are there because I see them when I play. It just doesn't make any sense. On a good note.... I ordered some NEW Shade shirts because they were 40% off. I love Shade shirts. I wear them on a daily basis. Sierra went to sleep tonight without a bottle and she only cried for about 2 minutes. She didn't have a nap today so that is probably another reason. I am dedicating tomorrow to my kids and we are going to have such a wonderful day. James has his pizza party at school and he is very excited! He is doing ok for the most part. His teacher is doing a great ?program? with him. Not sure what word to use. If James is really good during the day he gets 4 animals for his zoo. He then gets to bring home a picture to color. I'm not sure if that is still working out with him but he is trying. It's the sitting still we are trying to work on and calling out things at UNneccessery times. Jaren is just funny... He'll stick as many cars as he can into his bookbag and take them to school on the "Turtle Bus". Makes me feel so bad when he runs outside saying "mommy, turtle bus is here". I just wish it was something more hip like the Eagle bus or the Hawk bus. But no... it has to be the turtle bus... ;) Sierra is into just about everything you can imagine. I really thought you had to baby proof, not TODDLER proof. If it's out she'll get it. As I said before though we have pretty much taken her off the bottle which is one step before potty training but I think that will go really easy with her because whenever she "soils" her diaper she'll come over and point to her diaper and say "POO"! It's very comical but I'm determined to start as soon as she turns two. Jake is doing great and he is SUPER busy. I'm so proud of him. I'm not sure if I should blogging this but I'm proud to say he got a raise. Don't really like to brag about those money things but I'm bragging because my husband works super hard. I got a phone call today for a job interview at Bath and Body Works and I'll probably get another one for Gymboree in the next day or two so I'm trying to make it so I can work one day at one place and one at the other so I can get discounts at TWO of my favorite stores. FEWWWWWW.... I felt like I wrote all of that in one breath. Life is good, Facebook Sucks, and now.... I guess I'll stick with more blogging and start some laundry! :) Peace out!

Random but good post.

Ok so today we went to Hobby Lobby to just look around for some stuff. We headed over towards the ornaments for Christmas since our tradition is to get the kids an ornament each year I decided we should hit the shelves early since whenever we go they are always picked over and there aren't any good ones left. So, the kids picked one out for themselves and picked one out for Jake. HOW NICE... Well, it came to me and I REALLY wanted a moose ornament because I love Meeses. You know what I mean. Just being silly! I love Moose. James was down at the end of the shelf and picked up an ornament that I really just didn't even consider buying. So he picks up an angel and says, "Mom, I think you should get this one." I say "Uh, not really James Mommy really wants the moose", James says " But Mom, it's Jesus, don't you love Jesus?" OMG... I teared up in Hobby Lobby. One lady standing there just looked at the both of us and I said Ok, James Mommy will take that one with a HUGE smile on my face. CHEEEEEZY! I am just amazed that my little man knows Jesus and he believes. AMEN to that!

Stock update...

I just felt the urge to write something. Life has certainly been chaotic lately. I'm not even sure where to start. I will have to start with my getting off my diet first and then lead to my BEST night ever at the Taylor Swift concert and my husband taking off for the weekend for a seminar in Indiana and a little ALMOST 2 year old girl named Sierra who is just CRAVING attention between here and there. Ohhh she drives me crazy... :) With that being said I'm being distracted AGAIN so I'll have to get back to you.

New blog....

I have started a blog for my new diet. If you would like to read about it it is... www.judyigenixdiet.blogspot.com It was really supposed to be isagenix but ya know what... I don't really care!!! :) So far it is going ok for me but I'm just really tired and drained because of caffeine withdrawels. :( I sure miss my daily Coke and it stares at me everytime I look in the fridge... Dang temptations!!!! I keep telling it I'll come and get one in 9 days. Yes, I talk to my Coke....

Daylilies... I love them!

There's just something I love about Daylilies. You never know what to expect each day. It's always a suprise and everyday it's something beautiful!

Summer fun!

It has been awhile since I have blogged but a lot has been going on. My papa passed away in May so I've been pretty down about that for awhile. You never really know what you've got until it's gone. He was really one of the best people I have ever known. I will blog more about him later though. I just get to emotional... So June has been a pretty crazy month. James is DONE with preschool and will be heading to K in the fall. He is sooo excited. Jaren is still going to preschool but we're not sure what program he will be in. The boys started taking swimming lessons this summer at Splash which is an outdoor water park. I love outdoor pools sooo much more than indoors. Teaches kids about temp. COLD temps too! I think Jake and I were the meanest parents there not letting our kids out of the pool due to coldness. We told them we weren't paying for them to sit around in their towels and I think the other parents were soooo mad at us but hey!!! They learned! James is now moving up in his swim class because he is doing so well and Jaren will be in the preschool class one more time which is good. We have been able to go to the zoo and I took Jake to Raging Waves for our 8th anniversary which we are celebrating today. HURRAY! Anyways, life is ok and we are excited to head east in a few days to visit my family and then we head out west in August to visit Jakes. It's a lot on us but hopefully we won't have to travel so much in a few months... Anyways, I'll start posting pics because it's more fun to see pictures instead of reading my craziness!!!

The May saga...

Well, I'm not sure if this is where I should even start! May has been a chaotic month for this family... It's a month that I look forward to every year because of my birthday, James's birthday, and Memorial Day. I'm a big fan of Memorial Day only because I am proud to know my dad and my grandfathers were so lucky to serve our country! So, I may ramble on and on about what has been going on around here but to start off I will tell you about the bunnies. Most of you probably know that we adopted 6 bunnies for a few days. Unfortunately we had the luck of having 6 bunnies in our yard one morning. James being the animal fanatic decided that he should bring them in and take care of them. We happend to have a big box and some shavings so we brought them in and fed them some formula and gave them a nice place to sleep. I believe they were very appreciative and happy because it was very cold outside. I called around and asked vets and animal shops what to do. They told me to take them outside and put them back where they came from. I felt so bad because the Robins were trying to kill them but with Thing 1 and Thing 2 James and Jaren they were helpful and scared them away. We had them in our yard for about 2 days and were lucky to see that only 1 had died in our yard. Where the other ones went I know not but do I care??? Not really!!! Here are some pictures of the kids and the bunnies...

James rides his bike!

We have been trying to get James to ride his bike now for a year and he just hasn't been that into it. I'm ok with that because the last thing I want to do is that whole "pressure" thing and make a child loose his confidance. So the past few days we have been working on the whole riding thing and now he is LOVING it. I'm so proud of James and his willingness to always try new things and get excited about them. EVEN if it takes a bit longer than others... I'm not sure if you can here him but at some points he'll start chanting... "I'm doing it, I'm doing it" He's soooo dang awesome!

Carefree CC at her best!

Well, after the whole day at the park, CC's little legs wondered into the river!
"Mom, seriously you wanted a good picture"! I think this is priceless!!!! CARAZY I TELL YOU CARAZY!!!

"Mom, this is almost as good as it's gonna get today, I'm just having so much fun and my legs just won't stop for more than a sec"

"Look Mom, would you like a caveman pose? I can give you that but I'm still not gonna look at you"

"I'M RUNNING SO FAST AND MOM STILL HASN'T GOTTEN A GOOD PICTURE OF ME"

"look mom, i've got legs and I'm gonna use them"

"ha ha you thought you were gonna get a picture of me sitting still, NOT QUITE"

"Hey mom, I'm playing with the outlet again"

Ok so I will let you know before hand This last picture is NOT really sweet and innocent!!!! These pictures are also totally in opposite order so go from the bottom up. The other day we went to the park for a birthday party and well CC just had a BIT to much fun!

Happy Mothers Day!

I am so blessed to come from a world of wonderful mothers. My mom is the most hard working, loving, caring, supportive moms I know. She is there no matter what. Growing up she did most of it on her own getting my brother and I through everything. I am blessed that she was able to come watch me at cheering competitions, track meets, and other important events. She has been with me for the best and worst times of my life. After the first birth of my baby boy James we decided it was ok that she didn't need to be at all of my deliveries which I totally understand because it was the most awful experience EVER! Of course she missed out on the 2 best ones after that but she has made a 110% effort to be here with me and help me out whenever I need it! Today I want to express my gratitude and love for my mommy. She is awesome! I am blessed to have her.

Happy Mothers Day Mommy!!!!

Love always,

Rainbow, Mia, Sunshine, Jude!

My favorite little men!

Yesterday we were having fun with the camera. I thought I would play around with Jaren for a bit. Granted he has sauce all over his face I LOVE his chocolate brown eyes... He is just the most handsome little Jaren imaginable!!! And James.... (CHEEEEZE)

Our pretty little garden....

For my early Mothers Day gift I was able to go get some beautiful plants for our yard. I am so thankful for my wonderful hubby and his willingness to let me go over budget. I was however able to get a beautiful Lilac tree. I grew up with one in my yard on West St and always wanted one of my own. I'm soooo excited! The kids had a blast at the nursery and it was like they were in their own "secret garden". The kids also helped plant the flowers so I'm excited to say that it was an eventful family project!!!!

I am OHHHH so sneaky!

Ok, so I'm obsessed with painting! Jake won't let me paint anymore rooms since we are renting and aren't planning on buying the house. So he says... Ok well it's up in the air! So I really wanted to do something fun today and we went to Walmart and I grabbed some paint. I actually picked out the SAME exact color that is already in the kitchen. I wanted to go darker but not tooo dark so Jake would notice... Well, I got the kids to sleep and went to town painting. It looks great but I got tiny little dust particles on the wet paint. I HATE THAT!!!! So, I wanted to tell all my readers because I KNOW Jake doesn't read my blog at work... Facebook ok maybe but the blog NO WAY!!! I HAD to tell you guys. Who thinks Jake will notice???? Give me your answer!!! I'd LOVE to hear!

Our Spring vacation

These are some pictures of our vacation in New Hampshire. Most of them are up at Niagra Falls. Jake flew out to Buffalo and met us so I didn't have to drive all the way home by myself with the kids. It really worked out well. It's so cheap to fly from Chicago to Buffalo and the airport is just about 30 minutes from the Falls. I would definitely do it again! :)

Day of not feeling well...

It has been a long time since I've felt this sick. Probably when I was prego with CC. I am NOT saying I'm prego in any means but I hardly ever get sick. It started on Friday and CC got sick. She was throwing up and not having any good diapers. I did however get off my butt and finally got her a Pediatrician. The nurse was kind of upset with me because I haven't been up to date with all of her shots and I haven't brought her in in almost a year for a physical etc... I can blame it on the move etc.... but in reality she is growing and she is happy so I felt like she didn't need to go in but yeah I guess I agree with the nurse and am taking her in on Tuesday for a checkup and getting her up to date with shots etc... Saturday she threw up only once but she seemed to be happy. We also notice she was getting a WHOLE LOTTA teeth which is NEVER fun for any kid. So, we decided to keep her hydrated with Gatorade and popsicles. Always what I give my children. They have never liked Pedialite so Gatorade seems to be the next best thing I've thought. Sunday we thought Jaren was coming down with the bug because well the lucky duck slept in until 10:30 so Jake, Jaren, and Sierra missed church. James and I had a good day and James seemed to feel fine but as soon as we got home we were looking at DVD's to watch and he was sitting right next to me and just threw up all over the floor. I just sat there for a second because I was in complete shock but then I asked him if he had anymore and he said yes so he ran right into the bathroom. So, now CC and James are both not feeling so hot. Well, this morning I woke up and just felt it coming on to me. NOT COOL! I had planned to do so much today. I have hardly moved and am trying to contain myself until Jake gets home and then I will run to my bed and hide for the rest of the night but as for now I am keeping my children happy and they are fine. I feed them, change diapers and make sure the tv keeps them happy for the day. Oh, and I'm blogging this because I don't want to move and this is about the only thing I want to do other than Facebook today and sleep when I can...

My Day...

So... Today is my 14th year of being a member of the church. I guess I could say I have DEFINITELY had my ups and downs. Mostly I have ups though which I am very grateful for. I have been blessed to...1. Be a bit more healthier with my life. I have YET to drop the Coke, Pepsi, and Mountain Dew but I have been lucky not to drink alcohol, smoke and do other bad things.2. Live a better lifestyle. I still love to wear sweats and t-shirts all the time and I HATE wearing dresses but most of the time I can dress according to what Heavenly Father would like me to wear.... I have learned somewhat to keep an orderly house and I do care about the appearance of my house.3. Learned the meaning of keeping a eternal family together... Ok so I had to learn the hard way on this one but I am grateful for the mistakes that have been made to learn from them. 4. Be sealed and married in the Logan Temple. 5. Raise my children to KNOW about Jesus Christ and the gospel of the true church. I have so much more that I need to learn so I can teach them but with the guidance of the Holy Ghost in my life I know when to tell them what they need to know.6. Meet sooo many people in this world and I am so grateful for their support and guidance they give to me. I appreciate them EVERYDAY. I am so grateful for the missionaries who taught me the gospel, my friends who MADE me go to church, my dad who introduced me to the church. There is so much more that I have been blessed with and I should be so much more grateful for. I am eternally happy at this moment though for the gift of prayer. I don't do it enough. Most of the time I pray to ask myself to pray and that's it. I am grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost. I am soooo blessed that eventhough I am NOT perfect I can hear and feel it at the most needed times of my life. I am so blessed to have one gift and a gift that only I can have. It is the gift of Jesus Christ. I know that we all have him in our lives but I have always felt I have my own. He loves me, needs me, and wants me to succeed in this life so I can return to him. He has forgiven me a numerous amount of times and I am in debt to him. I love him with all of my heart and I don't show it enough. I hope in time that he will know how much I am grateful for him and need him in my life.

Ok, so I went to the extreme this Easter!

So... Every Easter since I was probably about James's age I have asked for an Easter Bunny. Probably because I thought that he would really bring me eggs or something but we alllll know that only chickens lay eggs and so NOW I'll probably want a chicken. But today I went a bit crazy because while we were out at my moms house the kids LOVED the bunny that she had and loved chasing it and petting it. So... I bought one... I went to a few pet stores and NO one seemed to have any bunnies but then at the last stop we decided for the kids to stay in the car because it was becoming a pain to get all 3 in and out of the car. I went in and as soon as I saw them I ran out with a HUGE smile on my face. I think Jake wanted to drive off as fast as possible but these days he will do about anything to make me smile. So.... He brought the kids in and we had the best time looking at all the puppies, cats, birds, bunnies, etc.... The first one I liked but he just seemed to big for me. He was brown and white and was really cute but as soon as I picked up little Jumper he melted in my arms... I don't think I even put him down the whole time I was there. I just told Jake to pay and let's go. The kids were having such a fun time in the store though so we stayed for a bit and played with some other animals. It is fun having him in the house with us. We aren't sure where we are going to put him but probably somewhere safe so the kids don't let him out and do something horrific to the poor thing. We'll see how long it lasts but for now the only thing I'm worried about is Jake going out a bb gun and shooting it.... :)

ANOTHER DILLY DALLY DAY!

Ok so today was another beautiful day. The kids and I went for a walk and played up in the field. The best part of the day was that I actually got ALL 3 kids down for a nap and got A LOT accomplished. I even started a puzzle which is kind of wierd considering I really don't enjoy doing them but it was actually a bit fun! So overall it was a good but lazy day! LOVE IT!!!

Another day in paradise!

Ok so I've had to look back and forth at my blog to see where I have to begin and where I left off. FYI I am mostly writing these blogs for people "really" care about my everyday life. It may be kind of boring but I'm trying to at least give some of you an up to date synopsis of my life... So yesterday was a BLAST! My grandparents in their 80's, Mom, me and the kids decided to walk down in my grandparents lake house. We could only get so far down the road because the rest of the road had not been plowed. So it was maybe 1/4 of a mile... As we walked down the hill the snow decided to get deeper and deeper. Soon enough it was up to my knees, then up to my thighs... We sledded Mimi down the rest of the hill because well, she couldn't get down the rest of the way. It was a blast. There were tons of trees down because of the ice storm they had a few months ago so the boys and I tried to move as much as we could. They were such good helpers. We also walked down to the lake which was covered but not enough so we could walk on it. I'm very paranoid about that kind of stuff... The walk back was ok but not as fun going up hill instead of down. But... We made it!!!
Today we went to Manchester to Chuck E Cheese's with Mimi and Pa and had a blast. We sent them off to the airport and now we are home and the boys are STILLL torchering the poor cat.
:( And yes I am looking out the windows and my eyes are hopefully decieving me because well... I think Jaren just jumped in the brooke again.. ARRGGH!!! Nope but I should go get them... Until then!

New Hampshire!

Today is a georgeous day. Yesterday we went to the Morgan Horse Farm down in Bolton Ma. The kids had a blast. I am already looking for a place to put two horses and a dog for the next move... The kids have such a love for animals which is great! I just wish Jake didn't have such a fear of them and wasn't allergic to them as well... I guess that's what meds are for! We were also able to celebrate our friend Anna Ela's 100th Birthday. I was quite impressed that she remembered me and the kids. We haven't seen her in a long time so it was quite a wonderful day with lots of food, drinks, and fun. It is a beautiful day and feels like spring and the snow is finally melting. We are going to try and attempt walking down to Mimi and Pa's house and take a look at the Lake. I can't wait to post some pictures. I think I have found my new heaven!!!! I LOVE New England in the winter... Jaren is obviously having TOOO much fun. I've already had to change his clothes twice in a few hours because he keeps jumping in Granna's brook and sitting in mud. NOT a big fan of it but at least he is having fun... James is hilarious because he is keeping so clean. Pa and James are sitting out on a tree right now having a VERY intense conversation it looks like. I should probably get ready for the day and head out while there is not a cloud in the sky... Guess that's it for now!

New Hampshire Day 2

Ok, so day 2 in New Hampshire was quite an experience.... It was really cold this morning but we are surviving anyways. Everything is about an hour away so we decided to drive an hour away to get lunch at Applebees and run some errands. When we got home we tried and I mean "tried" to do a bonfire to cook marshmallows. Unfortunately we had NO success because the sticks were still to green to start. It was probably better off though because I think we were all tired and ready to go in for the night. We have been doing some night sledding though which the boys love. It gets all icy on the hill so they are able to slide down under the Hemlock tree... The boys are persistant on harassing the cat Pudding. CC has been wonderful. She fits right along and waddels around like the rest of the ole' folk. She makes me laugh!!! We have yet to see any animals but have seen lots of tracks. It's amazing to know that there has been a moose right in the back yard of my moms house. Anyways.... The kids are having a blast and I am just making sure that they continue to have a good time. And Jen, don't worry I took that long breath you asked for. I'm just sorry I couldn't hold my breath a bit longer... :)

It's that time...

Well, I was hoping that while I was out in New Hampshire I could get some writing done and work on things that I've been wanting to do for a long time. I have a passion of writing and love to write. As you can tell I'm NOT that great with grammer and stuff but I love to write what's on my mind. I have been in the midst of writing a childrens book but at this time I'm not quite sure how it's going to go. My kids love the story and I've read it to them a number of times but as far as pictures, publishing and all that stuff well.... I'm clueless with that stuff so we'll see what happens!
I'm also going to work on myself physically and emotionally. Where better to do that then in the outdoors with 3 feet of snow and frickin' freezing! I'm planning to do a bit of snowshoeing and hiking in the woods of NH. I love being outside here. It is so different than being anywhere else. I love and I mean LOVE New England air. Everything out here is amazing, the trees, water, animals, people. I am grateful that I am able to come back and see what I'm missing.
I'm hoping to gain a better relationship with my family while I'm out here as well. So far.... NOT going that great. It's been a long drive out here and well it's just been a bit stressful. A lot has happend in the past few days and I'm hoping that being out here will help make things a lot better. The kids are so excited to be at "Granna's" house and to see all of the animals. I am hoping that we will get a lot of outside time while we are here. We may go home with pnemonia but I'm thinkin' it's worth it??? Maybe, maybe not????
I excited to be out here and I will keep you up to date with all that is happening. As for now I have got to get some rest. Where I will be resting is beyond me! We'll see... It will be an adventure for now. Until then....

James rides in Utah!

I love this video. Listen to Jaren in the background. This was taken out at our friends house in Utah.

James does well...

Well, I've been meaning to write about this for a few days now and have just been putting it off because I'm such a bad mom at times. It is time to brag about my son James!!! YAY JAMES!!! I am soooo proud of him though. Wednesday we had his teachers come over. I find it rather weird that they come to our house and not us go to their school but it works out. James is doing AWESOME in school. In the past few months he has learned to do so much. What he can do...
~ Cut straight lines
~ Cut out shapes
~ Draw shapes dircle, square, heart, star, rectangle, diamond
~ Can write some words on his own
~ Sounds letters out and can write them on his own
~ Color inside the lines
~ Uses his words in a bad situation and is clearly learning to walk away from the situation
~ Reading words on his own (not all words)
I am proud of James and his wonderful accomplishments and am excited to see what the next meeting brings! YAY JAMES!!! In celebration we went to Dairy Queen and got a vanilla ice cream.

James's photo shoot!

Do I really need to explain this one??? We were having fun!!!

My little princess...

CC really likes to eat popsicles but even more she likes to share them with me...

I thought this dress was so dang cute and you know me I couldn't resist! So, eventhough she looks like a candy striper she is still such a cutie!

CC was trying to dance the other day... She's still workin' on it...
