Isaac at School

I took pictures on another time but deleted the files so this is a repeat.

When we first get there we make a craft/project and there is always a theme,
then move on to story time (Isaac doesn't sit long for this)
then snack time.

He loves to go to school and has been lately asking me everyday if he goes to school.

Hee Haws

Both Elyse and Isaac had a field trip to Hee Haws but I only remembered to bring my camera to Elyse's but they both loved it.

Elyse's favorite part was the slide. I think Isaac's was just running around to everything.

My Love Note

Dear Mom,
I realy want to have our quiet time together (with siblings). I don't want to make you mad, but I would love it if you would let us. Thank you for being so nise to us and for loving us and takeing care of. We all love you and you love us. iexpecily love you and so does dad. Bryn and elyse love you also. You try your hardest to make us happy and feel comfirted. So I promise that I will do the same. I don't know about the girls but I think that they promis too. We are verry thankful that you are our mother. I am so verry happy that you didn't do what youre dad and brothers did!

Thank you!

Gabe (in his exact words and spelling)

Let me prefrence this a little after church the kids have a quiet time, not only for my sanity and time to reflect but for them to reflect too. I don't know how much they think about what they learned at church but it's always good to give it a try. Gabe was asking to have it together and as much as I want them to be on their own and be quiet its cute that they all "WANT" to be together.

As for the reference to my dad and brothers. They all have spent some time in Jail for DUI or drugs or whatever else they do. I love them all to pieces and hope for them to have it together some day. But as I watch them battle addictions it breaks my heart to see how much it runs your life. The saying always comes to me "Once an addict always and addict" Now, I have really never desired this in my life and in fact I have always wanted better for me and for my children. It does get a little hard at times when I don't know exactly what I am doing as a mom but I do my best. But I have to say I never thought that I would get the thanks at such a young tender age of 9. So, Gabe thanks for being so tender and bringing happy tears to my eyes. Love your guts!

This was the following note from Gabe after I gave him a hug and said thank you (with tears in my eyes).

Dear Mom,
Your welcome because I love you so much thank you for being so kind and excepting the letter and making me happy too. I have never ment to make you sad in my life. You make me so happy just by loking at you. This morning when I gave you that hug it made me feel very comfertible.

Thanks mom

Elyse has a Boy Friend

Elyse "Mom, there is a boy in my class that likes me."

Mom "Your too young to have a boyfriend."

Pause nothing being said.

Elyse "He likes to stare at me in class"

Mom "Do you know his name."

Elyse "No"


That was extent of our conversation. I just had to write it down before I forget.

Happy Birthday Bryn

Yesterday was the big day! Bryn turned 8 she is so excited to get baptised. We went shopping for the right dress for the perfect day. She seriously feels like a princess and can't wait to get married and choose her wedding dress.

She got a Nintedo DS, a game, a journal, a stuffed animal dog, how to apply make-up, and went to build-a-bear with grannie annie. Oh, and she even finished her PJ's bottoms that she has been sewing.

What a fun day! I love ya!

Only one for now

because the ones I had planned on using I deleted (well gotta do it over again).

It's pretty rare that I am in front of the camera but I have been working on it. This paticular time I was cleaning the house (no bra on but you can't tell) Elyse and Isaac were playing and I thought...picture moment. I grabbed the camera set it up on a foot stool and set the timer and we waited this was the best one out of 10 but it was a fun game because the camera was taking a picture all by itself.
