So Kevin is now if 1st grade, thats right, school, all day long... He seems to enjoy it. He gets off the bus and we walk home together and sit down to about 30 min of homework every night, he then puts the patch on and wears it until shower time at 7pm. We then read scriptures say prayers and send the boys off to bed. I know, seems early but to be honest, Kevin cant seem to get enough sleep. He has come home at least once a week and passed out on the couch for a few hours... 1st grade is hard! I myself am having a hard time not having control over 7 hours of his day. he came home and told me he had a girlfriend... what?!? Her name is Olivia and they play by the tree. After a while he asked me why all the other boys laughed when he told them he had a girlfriend. I told him it was probly because he was a little young to have a girlfriend, he then asked how old he had to be to have a girl friend and I answered that the Prophet tells us that you should wait to be of marriage age, so for him that would be 21 years old. He said "oh, well maybe I will just call her my friend then" that made me smile and I told him I thought that would be a good idea.
On anther day, he came home and told me he wanted to get a tattoo, I told him that the Lord gave us bodies that are temples and that we shouldn't color on them. Just like the Temple that we go get married in, we would never color on that so we shouldn't color on our bodies..he said ok. :)
Cameron is in preschool and is enjoying it, he missed out on Kindergarten by 26 days and it shows, he is already reading and loves to work on school work and puzzles and write people letters. He is fun except for his moments of throwing fits for not getting his way. The biggest one, is dinner time every night that I don't make pancakes, or hot dogs... you would think I was trying to torture the kids with any food other than that. But generally he is a pretty easy going kid. Cameron is the same height as 5 that Kevin was at 6!
Lorelei is so much fun! you cant take your eyes off her for a minute! She climbs into everything and gets into everything! At one point it was the computer and lately it has been the fridge to break the eggs all over the floor, and it seems that the child locks we keep putting on things don't last very long! She is pure entertainment and the sweetest thing to happen to us in a long time. She loves kisses and cuddles and loves to point out eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and belly. She loves to drink milk and seems to eat more than the boys can. She also seems to be getting better naps in since Kevin is in school. She continues to grow like a weed!
The baby is my belly is supposedly a boy, although I am not convinced. He keeps me sick and tired most days and makes me feel so much farther along that i really am at 23 weeks. I one the other hand am fighting back and canning like crazy. I just canned over 40 quarts of pears, that we went and picked as a family for $30. Lorelei has been eating them fresh like they are candy.(along with any other produce the girl can get her hands on... Cherry tomatoes too!) I am now starting on apples and applesauce. We will see how that goes. I bought a whole bunch of apples for .25 a lb.... hope I can get them done! I sure do like having something to show for what I have done at the end of the day! :)
Tyler is in the middle of his PhD and has two classes. He seems to like one but the other is Statistics and seems to be making him work a little harder. Although I LOVE HIS NEW JOB. He got a new contract where he is contracted until 5:00 every night... it is wonderful! To have him home every night between 5 and 5:30 is so nice, I can schedule primary stuff after 5 and I can plan dinners for when he gets home, no more dinners for me and the kids and him eating Grilled cheese later that night! SO WONDERFUL!
Both boys are in soccer which keeps us busy two night during the week and Saturday mornings, although we seem to be more productive when we get home from games so it is kinda nice.
So what I guess I am saying is Life is BUSY!
