kids rockn video

my rock stars

The girls are always singing something. They walk around with their little ipods and sing all the time. They love music. Garrett always has them listening to all different types of music. This morning they were playing with their guitars that already have some pop songs  on it. SO they performed a song for me. I videoed it...i don't like the song, but they are cute. Even Grayson sang a few words. 

Oli field trip

Yesterday I went with Olivia's class to the super market. They have been studying economics at school, saving money, earning money, goods and services, etc. They all worked at home and earned money and they brought it in to class and they took it together to get food for their lunch and fruit for snack later. It was fun. They had a tour, scavenger hunt and found and bought food. After the store we headed to the park for lunch and to play before returning to school. She's in the video on the top right in the purple shirt.

Strawberry Farm

I was able to go with Edens class to the strawberry farm last week. It was a bit cold out and rainy, but it was soo much fun. It is my favorite field trip by far. The kids learn all about the farm, how things are planted, what grows, and then get to pick their own strawberries and taste fresh ice cream. Here are two picks from the day. I love spending time with my girl! 

more mom's day

Well I just wanted to say how lucky I am too have three amazing kids. Olivia is now 7 and although we bump head a lot on things, she is truly amazing. She is sooo intelligent, sometimes i wonder at what time will she truly outsmart me in every way. She realized this past week, through a lot of tears, hugs, and parents conversation that her behavior is inappropriate and her sassy attitude should be re-evaluated and when she is not able to control the things she says, that she needs to talk to God. That he is always there to help her and heal her.  I asked her to pray for strength to help think and say things that are appropriate in Gods eyes to everyone. How was it sooo easy to explain to her, yet at times soo hard to realize myself. I often put my issues and problems on the back burner, not letting go and letting God.

Now for the middle one. She seriously says the most amazing things. She has got to be a writer when she grows up, because her storytelling skills are superb, even at 5. Mostly we would say, umm thats a lie.....yet i do believe that in her little head, she truly feels that it is not, but the most amazing thing anyone has ever said or done.  She does get in trouble a lot, because she is a constant instigator with the little man. But when those sweet baby blues look your way, your heart will turn into mush. So we got an invite to a party for a little friend of ours. The party is on sat. I opened the invite from the mail..Eden was with me in the car. I said, hey we got invited to so and so's party. She says.... what time is the party? well for a 5 yr old, you would of thought that she had major plans and needed to check her calendar. I said why, she said just tell me  the time. I said its from 2-4. She said oh good, I didnt want to miss my morning shows! I mean can you believe that. She is a trip. We dont have cable so sat am is their big disney show time. 

Well the little man is last. Boy does he wear me out. He takes all that i have, and even more sometimes. But then he also says and does the sweetest things. He is talking soo much, but i love when he says lips...he gives me a kiss on the lips...his sweet smile, the little words only i understand. The way his hair waves around his face. He is so wonderful, I am soo thankful for him!

They are all blessings from God. I would not be whom I am, without them. I look forward to our future together and I am ready to see the amazing things they have ahead of them. I hope you experience them too!

Mother's Day 2009

It began on Saturday evening when my present arrived. They got me a digital frame for mother's day....i love it! It was something I really wanted. Mother's day was really nice this year. We had a lot of fun. We started the day out with breakfast and two services at church. After church we ate our packed lunches and changed for a day at Busch Gardens. I figured it would be entertaining for the kids, we already have passes, so no money spent there, and i wanted a funnel cake with Strawberries on it. 

So we rode a few rides that we hadn't before or havent done in a while. It was a very busy day, but lots of fun!  Here are a few pics of the day, the one of me with the kids, is realy bad of me but the kids always look cute!
