Hi everyone! It is already the third of December! WOW! I am going to once a month update you on us! I know you are all anxiously waiting to hear! Well, Marsha turned one! Charlotte turned three! We had a little party both of them! They loved it! I love that Charlotte really gets into the excitement of it all, she was thrilled with every gift! Marsha is just learning to open presents. I am really excited for Christmas for both of them. I think it will be magical! Marsha is starting to take a few steps! Charli calls everyone “honey” , apparently so do I!! Lucy is cute, she names every doll she owns Ruby, Ruby is her best friend that moved to Utah, over two years ago! I guess they really are kindred spirits! That bond has not changed, which is amazing for a five year old! Heston is into football, he tries to watch it nonstop, he will watch the same football game over and over if it was a good one. How you decide if it is good or not, I do not know! Tucker is funny, He is trying to read Hunger games, he really wants to see the movie. He has to read the book first, I think it may be too violent for him! Mikey is working on his arrow of light and just did the section on first aid. He is now a hypochondriac. Every illness he reads about, he believes he has, so far this week, he has had a stroke, been in shock , he could have been bitten by a snake and had hypothermia! It is really funny, I keep telling him he is okay. Mikey wants me to keep listening to his heart to make sure. Emma is getting so grown up! Fourteen now! She had her first dance! Emma loved it! She danced with a few boys and had a blast! This next month I am hoping to really enjoy the season! I can not wait for snowy days!
Come on snow! Can not wait to see the deer in the yard and start enjoying winter! This was last years photo!
Here is a list of some fun things we are hoping to do and I invite you to try a few! I love lists, I write lists daily, I even write stuff I had already done just to be able to check it off. I have even written on my daily list things like, get up , get dressed! I feel accomplished when I get to cross off stuff! Here is my monthly list!
