November 2011

It's actually Halloween. Jeff took the kids out trick-or-treating and I thought it would be fun to post a few updated pictures, but he took the camera--so I'm writing instead. It had been a little while since I last wrote. We moved into a rental house and we love it. It is across the street from the elementary school and has a back yard with a fence. It is nice to have some space and not be worried about being too loud. Laurie started kindergarten this fall and is doing really well. She loves going to school. I'm glad she only goes in the afternoon so we still have all morning to play. She's a big helper to her brothers. Jack is growing like a weed. He loves bugs, snakes, and riding his bike. He also loves to ask lots of questions about how things work. Jeremy is at the most fun stage ever. I love two year olds. They say the funniest things like "mom you're my favorite." We are in the process of potty training and when he has an accident he will say "mom it's just water." How did he learn how to deceive at such an young age? Jeff is working for a private practice office as well as a hospital. We love to have him home on a regular schedule!! We expecting a boy in Febuary--it will be four for us. I'm feeling really well but I had to give up running a long time ago. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving in Utah this year. My sister Jessie is getting married and it will be so fun to have all our family together.

April 2010

Well we have had a couple of birthday since our last post. Jack turned 4 in February, he had a train cake. He is working on reading lessons and riding his bike without training wheels. He also working on not throwing any fits. Jeremy turned 2 in March. He is talking non-stop, but we are still working on understanding what he says. He is also working on potty-training, it's a work in progress. He likes to do everything that Laurie and Jack do. Jeff turned 32 this month. We had a fun party--we went playing disc golf with a few friends and me and Jeff got to go to a professional Hockey Game it was really fun. Laurie is doing great. She is excited to play soccer. She is bigger and faster than everyone on her team including the boys. She scored four goals her first game. She is so excited for Kindergarten wherever that may be. Our last adventure we took Laurie and Jack biking on the trails and when we finished there was a huge pond. Jeff decided to let the kids be kids and jump in and catch frogs. They had so much fun and caught so many frogs. We got some great video. I'm running a 10K this weekend. We are looking forward to a vacation back to Utah at the end of May.
