Abby is the biggest sister

CJ and his teacher

Ben and his teacher

The whole gang

well the boys started school the end of august and C.J. was so excited to see his teacher again and she was happy to see him and meet his new baby sister. Ben was excited too he met his teacher and they hit it off well of course always being the one to push limits as far as he can we had a few notes sent home the second week of school .Frankly I expected it much sooner so i feel pretty good it took longer than I expected. he seems to have settled in and is starting to gain some headway. I have been working in both boys class rooms and am enjoying it. I know God is building charecter in their lives and mine.... I have started back to work at the dance studio and am loving it the kids are the best and our classes are bursting at the seems I miss doing hip/hop but Amber is awsome we love her.Both boys are taking clogging this year and really liking it. and of course abby is loving every chance she gets to dance in and out of class. our first recital this year is Dec.3rd at the highschool auditorium it will also be awsome.... Hannah is getting so fun she is the best baby ever she is happy and snugglie and just adorible God really did bless my life when he gave me her. all her firsts so far have been for daddy her first smile her first rollover and she really misses him when he is out of town. which has happened alot lately. Abby has been having lots of play dates lately so I can work with the boys. She loves it and I think it's been good for her Hannah has done awsome with Maria and Heidi I thank God for them and their kind hearts. Well I will go for now but here are some pics to keep you going.

so much to report so little time

So many things have happened since my last post we have been non stop for weeks. We had family in from portland then fair family camp vacation bible school Ben's birthday and now back to school in just two days so much so little time.... so we will start with Fair we had great sucess at fair this year I am happy to report that my neice took blue ribbions on her skirt and blouse she also got a blue ribbion on her wood painting and her knitted coin purse. She took third place on her food in a jar. Boo Boo got a blue on his stained glass, his what heaven looks like pic. and a red which is second on his red beans and rice mix. Cutsie bootsie got a blue on her food in a jar, a red on her lady bug necklace, and a blue on her stained glass. Cj was the least profitable and the most dissapointed he got first place on his food in a jar that was it maybe next year. Next was family camp it was great except my hubby was sick all weekend and we kept getting lost we got lost on the way to the fish hatchery, and again on the way home. other than that it was great we talked about science all weekend which CJ loved and how it is so intricately linked to God and creation which I liked. we swam and we ate and played and even hicked. Right after we got back we did vbs it was magnificent again about creation the 7 c's of history creation, curuption, catastraphe, confusion. Christ, and the cross, consumation it is the final c to the seven c's of history. Bannah was a great sport as she was passed from one person to the next. one day she was a zebra the next a snow lepord it was fun and educational. Boo Boo has excepted Jesus into his heart and so that is very exciting for us. WE just finished Boo Boo's 5th birthday party and it was fun we had tocos, a grasshopper cake, and presents what more could a 5 year old want . He got a bow and arrow set, kung zhu's and a head lamp. he also got a prayingmantis. now we have two days till school starts wow what a month... Also Bannana started to smile this last month and she had her first giggle last night with grammie Faith....

fireworks

4th of july fun.

So these days I try to only go out shopping or run arronds when Jamie or someone else is with me. However that is not always an option!!!!! for example the other day I had to go to town to do a little shopping and run some erronds for my hubby and I took all the kids so it was load all the kids which isn't bad but the unloading is so we get loaded and drive to our first destination then even though I only would be in there for 2 seconds I have to unload all four kids and in we go. we were in long enough for c.j. and boo boo to get in a fight about who gets to help carry the wic vouchers out to the car, for Bootsie to say I have to go pee really bad, and for Hannah to start screaming that she is hungry. So I take the vouchers, take Abby potty,and do a mini snack for Hannah lets see oh I forgot we left the house at 8 am. it is now 10 till 10am. we now go to load up and off to the next place to drop off a paper so we un load again and go in hand the paper over and back to the car no crisises few! now to wal-mart where we pick up a few groceries and some supplies for Bootsies birthday party. we get out of the car and it begins the mom can I have a drink, I'm starvin, hay do you think we can get a toy today. I'm already exhausted and barly have the emotional stamina to get the things I have to let alone spend 2 extra hours in the toy dept. looking for the perfect 1 dollar toy to take home. the answer is no and we are off gathering the things we need we finally get to the check out after Bootsie hidding in the clothes racks only 2 times, Cj. only complaining his legs are going to fall off from so much walking and how if he dosen't get food soon he thinks he might die ,and as for boo boo he had a good day a drink is all he cares about, Hannah is ready for a real meal though and going to let everyone know it... We are done and back at the car we once again get loaded and we are off wow it is now 12:30 so we stop for a dollar hamberger and I rush home to tend to my precious Hannah who is now red from crying cause she will melt to nothing if I don't feed her...we're home now and I couldn't be happier the kids are out playing I am feeding Hannah and all is well again. It is now 1:00 pm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had the fourth of July and Bootsie's birthday since I last posted so here are some pics for those who didn't make it we also have a new family picture if you would like a print please e-mail me and I will send it.. love to you all...
