I know I know all this talk of blogging more and look what I did ..... lol any how here are some updates and pictures!
News item number one..we had our first earthquake here last friday yes we felt it and well it was probably the weirdest sensation in the world..picture your house on the water..not the ocean just the lake with little waves..I guess thats the best way I could describe it, we are fine, the house is fine and there was no major damage where the quake occured either so all in all it could have been a whole lot worse!!
Alannnah update : Don't know if I updated before that she had a reading assessment and did so well she only missed one word her teacher and we were so excited!! Well she has gotten numerous bookmarks now for good behaviour and has just had a speech assessment and is going to have some therapy to help her say her s's and few other sounds correctly, it is not affecting her school work however and she is just as bright as can be! Every morning she likes to get up and show daddy and me how tall she is compared to us haha well I wish she would really stop that! ;) Also she has lost her second top tooth..okay well this is actually tooth number 2 that emilie has kicked out for her and the 1st one that actually got swallowed..good thing the tooth fairy counts teeth every night just to be on the safe side so she doesn't miss anyone! :)
Emilie update : Emilie is continueing to grow into a great little lady she is getting to be more helpful with less temper tantrums and is just being such a joy to be around especially with all the random things that can come out of her mouth..just last week she told me she needed to go to the armpit doctor because her armpit hurt..yeah well thats just a sampling of things that come out of her mouth! She is reallly looking forward to school next year and I am excited for her I think she will do great after the initial shock of..oh wait mommy is not staying? wears off! :)
Danica update : ahhhh Danica..she is still the trying two year old but she has moments of sweetness that ALMOST makes you forget that she thinks she should be boss of the household and bully of her sisters, this child I am afraid is going to be soo difficult when it comes to school I am afraid she is going to bully the biggest of kids *sigh*
Cade update : Well our little pudge- mister..or Moose as I call him is doing great and is now holding out his arms for mommy to pick him up he is sitting on his own other then the moment here and there where he tips over and loves to play with toys and his sisters! He had his foot appt. yesterday and everything checked out just perfect as I was hoping it would and feel so lucky that it did! We are ever so proud of him and just enjoying him as he is.
Zak is still working hard at work and we expect will be putting in a lot of over time in the coming weeks so any time we can snatch together as a family we try to enjoy as much as we can!
I am still working here and there and trying to do more and more so it helps out with the many bills that we have so we can get everything paid off and be free and clear the state of the economy has scared us all straight if that makes sense! AND I am finding some new exciting recipes for us to eat that are good and healthy and well I found out I LOVE to cook who knew it?? Of course I just need to find the right cook book for us because scouring the internet gets old and takes to much time! haha!! :) I am also incorporating exercise into my life again been lazy long enough!! up to three days a week an hour a day shooting for 5 days eventually but we need to clean out some things in the garage donating and all that.
We redecorated our house sooo in the pictures of the kids excuse the mess it was in transition for awhile and even now we are still trying to get the kinks worked out, for those of you that have been in our house before next time you visit our living room is COMPLETELY different and I just LOVE it! :)
Alrighty I am onto the pictures now hope everyone is well and sorry its been so long but now that things are going to be getting back to normal around here I hope to post more often and actually put down more of the things the kids say : )
