So Christmas is around the corner and I have yet to post ANYTHING from the summer...or anything for that matter. With tending to 5 kids and their homework (which I can barely understand) and hanging with all my friends I rarely have a moment (which is kinda a lie cause I am so super lazy)So really I am just lazy and all my pictures go straight to facebook or the pictures never happen. I am just lame ;) So I am adding a few pictures to hopefully suffice to those who actually read my blog for at least a month...or more :)
In September my 3 oldest (Paige, Madeline & Noah) all went to school full time. I was overjoyed sad to have them gone all day.
Paul too started school again. Year 2 of his doctorate program...When he's home, which is rare he is either sleeping studying or working in his "office" which he made in the garage.
So most of the day it is me and my two easiest and laid back little boys.
Ben who is now 4
and Luke who is 2. We are loving all this quiet around here from 9-3!
So life just keeps plugging along for all 7 of us. I'm constantly busy but it works and we love it!Nothing amazing or interesting really has changed. But just in case you missed out on all that has happened I will recap (no pictures) of a few things. NOT everything cause not only will that be so totally boring but who wants to hear about it!
- Paige goes to Tom McCall, an upper elementary school with only 5th & 6th graders. It's about as big as my old highschool!
- Paige is in a club at school
- Madeline did soccer
- Madeline had to stop soccer due to a broken wrist
- Madeline is in 3rd grade but doing 4th grade spelling
- Noah turned 6
- Noah can read
- Ben learned to write his name
- Ben loves having tv, mommy, computer all to himself
- Luke turned 2
- Luke pretty much is in the process of potty training himself
- Paul is in his 2nd year of doctorate school and working 3 various jobs LDS family services, a program through his school called SIBS and his college teaching job which will start in January at Merrilhurst (spelling unknown). He still manages to pull almost all A's which I'm so super proud of him!
- Paul has gained weight (those oreo's get him everytime)
- Jenny lost as much as 22lbs and still losing
- Jenny hangs out with all her awesome friends-all the time!
ANYWHO!
Life is in a good place...not easy but good. We are and have been so very blessed especially these past year or so. We wish all of you the best and the most happiest Christmas EVER!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
with much love,
Paul, Jenny, Paige, Madeline, Noah, Ben & Luke
FYI: Each one of us looks exactly how our personalities seem to be.
Paul-annoyed smile for having to pose and get all dressed up
Me- ummm this is my usual look, happy :)
Paige-like father like daughter
Madeline- totally cool & sass
Noah- sweet sweet boy
Ben-so shy (I will not look directly into the camera but just off to the side and I will only give half a smile)
Luke- center of attention, CHEESE!!!
