Happy 3rd Hank and Millie

I can't believe they are three!!!! 

Hoogle Zoo

We had the best day yesterday at the zoo. I can't believe how active all the animals were. The zoo was empty too, which was awesome! The kids had a great time and it was fun to be together. 

School is back in session

I love doing preschool with my kids. It's a lot of work, but spending the one on one time with them is priceless, and I really do mean that! I love being with them, even when I'm tired. We have been learning colors lately. The kids love to finger paint, so this has been fun for them. 

Last week we also make rabbit ears, for the letter R. They loved making them and then hopping around like rabbits.

Preschool adventures

I have loved doing home preschool. With the cost of sending kids to preschool and having 3 still at home, there was no way I could afford it, plus who doesn't want an excuse to sing silly songs, finger paint, and read books with their kids (and not feel guilty about putting off laundry)? I have loved doing school with my kids! I'm not going to lie, there are days I would rather put on a movie for them and lay on the couch, but being with them and watching them grown smarter is very rewarding. I love doing preschool with my little people!!!

Is there anything better than a sleeping baby?

Isabel's Baptism

Today was one of those days you know will come but sneaks up on you all at once. I honestly can't believe that I have an 8 year old and that she got baptized today. Wasn't it yesterday when she was born? How did this happen? I am so proud of Isabel! Today was a really wonderful day. We had a great baptismal program, her baptism and confirmation, and a nice luncheon at the house. It was great to be surrounded by friends and family. Isabel was sad Grandma and Grandpa DeLong were not there (they are in Tonga), but was very happy everyone else was able to come. I am such a happy mom seeing my children grow into happy intelligent people. Isabel - I love you so much!

Well Hello there

It's been about 18 months since my last post. Time has flown by and it's hard to keep everything afloat at times. we are still around and kicking. Since my last post we have moved into our beautiful home in Farr West. We love it here! The kids are making friends, the ward is great, and life is fantastic! Ryan is excelling at work, even though at times doesn't like his job (what man doesn't feel that way from time to time, right?). I am doing home-preschool with Lucy, Hank, and Millie. I am really enjoying it! Isabel is in 2nd grade and loves it.
Well, time to do something productive!
