And they Sleep!

Alex and Emily were playing together when they were suppose to be sleeping. I went up stairs to talk with them about it and Alex was doing Alphabet Flash cards with Emily. I couldn't say anything. I just let them proceed. I went up to check on them again a little bit later and here is what I saw.

Mom, Can We Please Help Paint!!!

Alex and Emily were very excited to help paint the bathroom this weekend, while Aaron was gone.

Pumpkin Time

Here we are on Emily's field trip to the Pumpkin Farm. It was last Wednesday, so Logan came with us too. Luckily, since the kids and I were prepared for the rain there wasn't a drop.

Emily's First Day of Preschool

Here is Emily at her first day of Preschool back in September.

Time for Kindergarten!!

Today was Alex's first day of Kindergarten! *sigh* It all started out with him nagging me about when he was going. Since he has afternoon kindergarten he had to wait until we left at 12:15. We took Emily to Aaron's work and then I went with him to lunch at the school.

After lunch, which starts at 12:45 and ends at 1:00 he then is lead to his classroom. I went and took this picture and then left him. At his request.

Here is him afterschool getting off the bus!

Grandpa Howard's Birthday!

Emily's second birthday!

Well at the begining of last week I didn't know if any of us were going to be celebrating Emily's birthday. Alex had just gotten over being sick for 5 days on Sunday and Aaron, Emily and I came down with it on Monday. We all had different degrees of the illness at different times but poor Emily was still throwing up and feverish on Thursday night with her birthday coming on Friday. We woke up on Friday and she seemed to be doing well at first but as the day loomed on she seemed to get worse. We cancelled her birthday dinner hoping that she would be able to attend her birthday party on Saturday, which was also going to be a surprise 50th birthday party for my mom. Anyway, we all pulled ourselves out of bed tired from being sick and busy all week. Cleaned and disinfected the house and managed to pull of the party. Emily was feeling better, my mom was surprised and we even got to see my cousin's new baby Kai. (My mom made Emily the awesome Dora cake and my sister made the food.) This week has been better but of course Emily woke up with a runny noise on Monday morning. You never can win. :)

First posting!!

I don't know what to really say here but mainly wanted to start this blog to share pictures and stories about the kids.

Happy looking!
