Time to take over!

Ok, so....apparently someone in this house has to take this website writing over or it's never going to get done!

Here's just some quick updates from the past 6 months...

Sariah and Stacy both had birthdays! Yeah! Now our family consists of 5, 4, 3, and 18 months! Sure makes keeping how old they are straight! Who can't count by 1's??

Sariah had a Dora cake, made especially by mommy, and Stacy had a beautifully done Mermaid cake! I can find the picture of the Dora cake, but not the Mermaid cake...go figure. Well, you get the idea!



Well, after the month of March ended, and birthday wishes died down a little, we got back to normal life. Now, we are in another crazy month! It gets a little busy around here with 4 kids, pregnant lady, honor guard AF guy, and the YMCA!
Homeschooling is going good. Levi is learning how to read and is actually starting to enjoy it! Obviously, the last part took a while, but is the most important part. He is reading to his sisters now, almost all day, and boy do they LOVE IT!...and I have to admit it is kind of nice having one more reader around!

Sariah is quickly learning her alphabet and what the letters say, and Stacy of course, trying to keep up, is right behind her!

Tori is into EVERYTHING but has quickly learned how to get us all laughing and smiling by her wonderful and bright personality! She knows how to shake her head "no"...she also knows how to scream it! Now, this isn't something you can really take a picture of, but if you can just imagine a 20 lb 18 month old girl with her hands in fists, behind her back, leaning forward with the most evil glare she can muster while screaming "NO", than you've imagined what Tori looks like!! She has also learned how to nod her head "yes", which honestly takes her entire body, not just her head...

Aaron is busy....in fact, I think it's been a few days since I've seen him...I mean, I suppose he's been around...but...not really here....ah, you woman out there know what I mean! He's recently been called to the Elder's Quorum Presidency, is preparing for finals, and is also in the Honor Guard. The Honor Guard, what does that mean? It means that he's gone throughout the week for a few funerals, and gone all day Friday and Saturdays with funerals! Needless to say, he is one busy man!

Me...well, not much to say. I'm dealing with the normal pregnancy things, and have been doing the primary chorister calling. Up till now, I thought I was doing pretty good, little did we all realize that I'd be having a baby a month prior to the presentation! Needless to say, I got released today. HA!

Alright, well, it's a short update, but it's an update. From now, I will TRY my best to keep this thing updated for real!!
