MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

We got this amazing picture from my sister and bil.

This is our annual Christmas Eve pic. 

First tooth lost

C lost his first tooth on Thanksgiving day. He lost his second tooth yesterday (Nov. 30) I can't believe how fast he is growing up.
He is learning to read and doing very well at it. He is playing basketball and had his first practice Monday night. He is such a loving and caring child. He is bright and funny. He brings so much to our lives I can't imagine what it would be like without him. Thank you God for this wonderful blessing. Below is a pic of the missing tooth. Now both bottom teeth are missing.

Love this song

3 year old

So my sweet Ju is 3. (pix to follow)
It is so hard to believe. He is pretty much potty trained now.

C started K last week. He is doing great. We did three days then he got sick. We are over the sickness now.
I also signed C up for soccer. It will be so cute to watch him. We bought his first cleats today. Thankfully I had a small pair for Ju here at the house. I am not sure how we are going to keep Ju off the field. He loves sports and balls and is quite the athlete.

I will post pix of the birthday party probably after the party for S. He will be 16.

I am such a blessed woman to have my sweet children.

Potty training

Today is day 5 of potty training Ju. He is doing great. He woke up totally dry this morning. No wet accidents yesterday at all and he told me twice when he had to go.


I was pondering though how my sweet youngest will be 3 in less than a month. It makes me sad in many ways. He is probably my last baby. It is wonderful to watch them grow and develop and learn new things but sad that it happens so fast and life is so busy that I feel like I miss so much of it.

I do feel very blessed to have all of my children.

Thinking and updates

I am thinking and planning our next school year. Also thinking of starting a school blog, maybe separate or maybe on here. I think it would be nice to document our school. Then I wonder if I will keep up with it.
Wonder if I can have Savannah keep up with it and use it as a class in school?

Updates from here. J is still working around 40 hours a week. S and V are finishing up their school this year. J is loving having a car. LOL
C is going to be starting school in the fall. I already have his books. We are doing Heart of Dakota.
He is getting to be a big boy and such a good child. Easy I should say.
Ju on the other hand is full force at all times. He is either happy and or not there is no in between for him. He is quite the dare devil and not afraid of anything. He is very rough, you could say all boy.

Chuck is busy in our business. Which is a wonderful thing but it makes for long days for him and we don't see him as much.

I am spending my days planning next years school, keeping chores going, cooking, laundry, well you get the point.

It was a day of firsts at my house yesterday.

My oldest J got his first vehicle and he voted.

Shower cake I made for my niece

Tomorrow we have his party. He will be 5 can you believe it? Here is the cake I made today.
