March 2018

Took the kids on a fun hike this month.  They always complain until they start playing and some times the hike last double the time so they can play in the forest. 

The kids did a spring photo shot.  The cloths were part of the photo shot so I did not have to stress about what there were going to wear.  They even brought a bunny which was really cute.  Down fall it was really cold that day maybe 41 degrees with 25 mile hour wind.  The kids did really well for 10 minutes and they it went down hill for Emma and James they just got to cold.  they turned out so well. 

 

Abigail got a new peppa dress and she enjoyed it after visiting a Metabolic doctor.  They ran a lot of test to rule out some things and they all came back negative.  So no more for that doctor and just trying to figure out why she has neutropenia still. 

The leprechaun  came to our house again this year. He peed in the toilet, kissed the kids on the check, left little presents for them to wear, and made green blue berry muffins.  They loved it!


 For spring break this year we traveled to Jon's step parents house in Grottoes Virginia.  It was colder there then our house.  The kids enjoyed a lot of indoor games and a 500 piece puzzle.  little walks in the afternoon when the sun warmed up.

we search for some new Love signs in the state and we found three. 

Grandpa tried to get the picky eater to try some new foods, that did not go over very well. 

 

Celebrated Jon's Birthday as well. 

 

March was a great month but went by to fast when you are having fun!

Febuary 2018

 First weekend in February I took Emma and James Skiing.  They both did amazing and we lasted from open to close.  They even did jumps by the end of the day and they loved them the best. 

 

Emma Sold Girl scout cookies and reach pasted her goal of just over 400 cookies.  She was so excited to hear her number. 

 

Heaven played basketball for her school and they made it to the final championship and got second place.  They did really well this year and Heaven even got three points in one game. 

 

Emma went to a Father daughter Dance with Jon.  She was tickled pink to spend alone time with Dad, dancing and a new dress.  They had a wonderful time.

 

Jon took the kids to cripple creek for an ice festival for a day.  They always enjoy the big piece of ice that they can play about in some way. 

 

Mom came out for a week to visit.  Well needed visit and I needed to see my mom.  Kids always enjoy the time as well. 

 

Jon took Heaven to a father daughter dance in the city.  That was a very fancy dance, they hung out from 6-1030pm dancing the night away. 

 

We had some family photos does.

Abigail was in gymnastic for a month to help improve some motor skills.  She loved the balance beam that was close to the ground, she does not like heights, and refused to learn a summer salt.  O well we tried. 

Months go by really fast, thanks for reading.

 

January WOW

Heaven and I celebrated a Birthday.  We went out to dinner and had a relaxing day.  We bought heaven some really random crappy gifts for her birthday to through her off.  she was as sweet as could be and said thank yu and just went about her day.  During dinner we told her we forgot a present.  Yes Pop tarts another random stupid gift.  She said thank you and wanted to move one. 

 Then we made her open the pop tarts because we could not get the phone to ring (I put it on silent)
she was confused until she found the sealed pop tart that felt weird.   She opened it and got her real present for her birthday. 

Took Emma Skiing to teach her how to ski.  She did amazing and needed very little help through out the day. 

While kids are in school Abigail and I play babies, or tea party, nor shopping. 

 Took the kids Ice Skating, they loved it!

 Went to Denver Zoo for a day.  A lot of new animals for them to see and learn about and feed.

Even and I had a date night at home.  We both read the book "The Snowman" and then we watched the movie.  Th book was way better then the movie. 

 On January 22, we said good bye to Punky.  His arthritis and something else was causing him so much pain. 

Heaven has been playing 8th grade basketball for the last month.  They lost only two games and this week they move onto the championship round.  She has made 11 points over this past month and her skill level has grown a ton!  Very proud of her and cant wait to see what she does next.

We took a family trip skiing to Breckenridge ski resort.  Abigail loved playing in the snow and learning how to ski. 

 Even enjoyed skiing with mom and dad for the day and going trick and going into the trees with dad. 

 Emma and James had free ski lessons for the day.  Emma was able to fine tune her skill and James just learn a little better. 

The trip was a great family fun get away. 

December 2017 Recap

We had very warm days for December.  After Therapy we stopped by the big slides to get some energy out. 

Made a felt tree for Abigail to play with, in hopes she would not play with the real tree.  (She does not play with either tree!)

Heaven had her school Musical which was called Once on this Island and she did amazing as Mama!

Took Abigail to open gymnastic and she is loving the balance beam.  She developmental skills are finally catching up. 

We went to the forest to get our tree this year.  Heaven is so strong now, she can show off her strength with a 6 foot tree.

Heaven helps out once in a while at a local stables in exchange for free lessons. 

 James and Emma both got an award at school for good behavior.

 Emma and James had a Christmas party at the end of there 2017 school year!

 

we have had very little snow this year and the kids were persistent about making a snow man.

Emma made this at girl scouts.  After the holidays cookie sales will begin soon!

two days of making cookies for the neighbors, we made 6 different types of goodies and over 15 dozen of sweets! All the kids did great with there hands and not licking anything.  I figured out if you give Abigail the stuff to lick she is sick of sweets and wants no more.

 we went to the fire station to see Santa.  Parents bring the gift for Santa to give out.  This year I was on a roll, I made two out of four kids cry on Santa's lap!  James wrote to Santa and asked for a real baby brother.  I had to mess with that and Santa gave him a boy doll for him to play with his sisters and the doll had a note stating he does not give out real babies so here is a toy baby.  (he plays with the doll daily and sleeps with it too)!

 Heaven got a book called Love you forever by Robert Munsch.  It is her favorite book when she was a kid, and Santa had to bring that to her.  Her's was a cry at least. 

 

Kids sang a song at church for Christmas.

 Couple nights sewing I finally got Emma and Abigail there baby doll carriers made.  I hope they love them!

 

I have my little slaves, wait I mean elves making next year's Christmas cards.

 

 We finish off with a little ice skating before Christmas.  James is learning how to stop instead of falling.  Emma just has so much confidence while skating, I love it.    Abigail has a love hate with it.
