A week in review

First of all, YES, I do kennel Dusty.  He hated it on night one...now he is good about going in and not crying even if I do not leave the room right away.  He has NEVER had an accident in his kennel.  Yay!

Robel is going to be receiving his Wolf in Cub Scouts on Tuesday!  Thanks to his fabulous leader Abbie and his dad.

Robel & Daniel went and hiked Beacon Rock along with my nephew Aiden.  They had a good time. 

Daniel is so amazing the fact that he married me is such a blessing.  When I got home Saturday afternoon after a required CPR class...I found the bounce house inflated in my family room, kids everywhere and snow cone making going on on the back porch.  They were having a "carnival" and a blast.  This was enjoyed by Robel, Deonna, Angelia, Michael, Jayden, Bryten, Makenzy and Aiden!  8 kids all having fun and under control and Daniel was completely sane.  He is a gem!

I survived another week in sacrament meeting alone with my kiddos.  Michael may still be the death of me.  He was such a great baby/toddler and now that he is 4 he is making up for lost time.  Yikes.  Defiant, disobedient, mean, and a LIAR!  Yikes.  I cannot wait for this phase to pass.  He is fabulous when we are one on one and the good news is we are alone every Monday and Thursday morning.  Yay.

Angelia on the other hand is becoming a sweet, gentle, little girl.  Or should I say "big girl".  She is so much fun.  She loves to snuggle and be with me.  Wow...luckily for both of us we survived her first 4 years...just barely.  Angelia has Kindergarten orientation on May 17th...can that really be true?!

Deonna is really doing well with reading.  She is retaining more than ever which is so great.  I think it discourages Robel to have her do so well.  Oh well, this too shall pass...Robel will catch on and take off eventually.  Deonna is getting SO TALL...she wears an 8 slim for jeans and a 10/12 top.  She'll pass me before I know it.
I really will post photos soon...I am a visual and love photos with posts...so they will follow shortly.

  4. I don't believe those mean things you said about Michael for a second. Trip him and then he what he does. He loves it! ;)
