Love my kids!!!

These pictures aren't the greatest since they were taken on my phone, but you can get the idea. The last one was taken with Adam's blackberry storm ( a very cool phone). Anyway, enjoy!




We got stuck in Portland a week or so ago and ended up with a few inches of snow...like 5 it seemed. Anyway, it took us around 6 hours to make a 1 1/2 hour trip. Real fun with 3 little kids in the back seat. It all worked out, we even got to play in the snow for a little while. The boys made snow angels and threw snowballs...mostly at me. :-)

Ah, the joys of motherhood

I know it has been a while since I posted, but raising 3 kids is not exactly the easiest thing I have done!
Anyway, life is good. We went up to Portland today and I took the kids to the Lloyd center and we strolled around for 3 hrs while Adam went to the VA hospital to see his doctor. It was actually pretty fun!!! We went into a pirate shop, watched the ice skaters, zachy won a toy out of the crane machine on his first try by himself (oh yeah my son is cool), and we window shopped. It was a very fun day for all of us, except maybe daddy. Anyway, here are some pictures.


Haylee is 8 months old now and loves to smile and play with her brothers. They are the best big brothers. In the morning while I am waking up, Tony goes an lays with her in her crib to keep her happy. We have her down to only waking up once in the night and going to sleep on her own. She now eats anything we are eating as long as it is baby safe. Apparently she does doesn't like baby food, even though I have a ton of it in the cupboard. Oy, life!!!
Zachary and Anthony get along a lot better than they used to and are listening to me on a more regular basis. We must be doing something right!
Apparently we are going to be moving back down to Eugene/Springfield area as Adam has changed his major and decided to pursue architecture which has been his dream all along in the first place...men! Of course they couldn't have that degree at OSU, not even an associates!!! So sometime in the Spring (March-April) we should be moving back down there. We will see how it goes. I guess this is the nice thing about not owning a house. We can move away whenever we feel like it!

Here it is!!!

Some fun things

So...life is good but busy. Between teaching primary, going to school, starting a new business and being a mother, I sometimes find time for myself. I like being a mom most though. Last night Adam went on a campout with the scouts, which amazingly was the first night I have had all 3 kids to myself overnight. It turned out ok though, except for when I asked the kids to help me clean up the living room. That is always FUN... Anyway, not much has been happening other than that. I miss all my friends Springfield/Eugene, and beyond, but we seem to be settling in quite nicely here in Corvallis...

Tony

Yes, I know two posts in one day AAAHH!!!
Here are some pics of Anthony learning to draw/write. I have been teaching him at home on our chalkboard and on paper of course. I found an awesome preschool workbook at walmart that he loves.
Shapes


Tony writing his name
Tony after he changed the N's. Darn those N's for being so difficult. LOL


Can you tell which one I wrote? I think he did a pretty dang good job.

And finally Tony writing his numbers
And one more cute one of daddy teaching him to draw a house. What an artist!

Just some updates and pictures!!!

Everything is going pretty well. Adam's Father is sick and we don't quite know what is going to happen with him, but otherwise things are not too bad.

I now have a more interesting Sunday class with 8 6yr olds, which wouldn't be so bad, except 6 of them are boys. We have a wild class. It is difficult to keep 8 children quiet for more than 10 seconds. I do have a couple children that are quiet throughout practically the entire lesson though.

Otherwise, Adam has been asked to help out with the boy scout campouts for the next few months which should be fun for him.

Random...Here is a picture of my new highlights! I love color!

Adam brought me and Haylee some pretty flowers. If these had been yellow they would have been the same flowers from my wedding. Very sweet!

I thought I would add some pictures of Adam since I hardly ever post any pictures of him.

So...if anyone wants to know anything, just ask and you shall receive!
