My son Benjamin........

 

 

was sworn into the Air Force today!

Lost another one.....

Elijah lost his top tooth tonight....and then he threw it away. I had to search through the kitchen garbage for it. He's so silly!

****UPDATE****
The day after this tooth feel out, Elijah lost another one right next to it. He literally lost that one though, somewhere between school and the bus ride home.
Now, he also has another top front tooth that is very loose. Stay tuned for a cute picture when that one falls out. :)

My Valentines

Valentine's Day did not go as expected....but it turned out sweet anyway. What I had planned on doing was going up to the boy's classrooms and spending time with them at their Valentine's Day parties. But I ended up waiting for hours for the washer repairman. He ended up telling me that my washer was irreparable. By the time he had left, the parties were over. :(

But during my time spent waiting, I made the boys a Valentine's cookie.:)

 

When the boys came home, I gave them them their Valentine's from me. We also went through their valentines from their friends and then finally ordered pizza for dinner.
And a few hours later, I had a washer ordered and set to be delivered on Saturday.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!

Snow days....

 

We had two snow days in a row. Well, we didn't have any snow for the second one. It had melted and froze so we had an icy day. Caleb and Jimmy stayed in their pajamas all day. Liam and Elijah spent a couple hours playing with the IPAD and the laptop. Liam loves it too.:)

 

Sick again

Sweet little guy still smiling.....

 

My little Elijah was sick again last week. He missed three days of school. I am so blessed to now stay home with him each and every time he or any of my other boys get sick. God is good.

Feeling better and very happy after putting his new "No David!" puzzle together. :)

Superbowl party....

well a party anyway. I have to admit, we really don't watch the Superbowl except for halftime. But everyone knows that you have a party on Superbowl Sunday.....so we did.:)



 

A little pre-bowl painting.

 

 

 

Liam was happy and enjoyed the music from the half-time show.:)

 

Wings, chips and salsa, crackers and cheese.....YUM!

 

From Jimmy with Love

I have to say that Jimmy is the sweetest, most generous person I know. He always shares and offers anything that he has with others. He gets so excited to buy a gift for someone and loves to make things for people too. Jimmy has been talking all week long about the crayon art that he was going to make yesterday at school. I was excited to see it. He couldn't wait to give it to me as he walked in the door. He always tells me to close my eyes and then he hands me my gift and says proudly, "I made it for you!" Be still my heart. This son of mine blows me away with his love. Isn't it beautiful?
