Honey Bunch Edition

This week I was baptized. Most of our family came. I really felt the spirit. Everybody came on either Wednesday or a Tuesday. My baptismal close didn't fit, so my grandmas were really kind and sewed them up. I loved being baptized, I wanted to keep doing it and doing it!here's some pics!

Yesterday I played basketball. I scored 3 goals for my teem, and we won!

My grandpa took these pictures for me. My other grandpa brought a huge can of chili.

The weekly news- Princess

  This week was pretty fun! The only day that we went to school was on a Friday because of the snow. It was really fun. The grass was so icy frozen that we could literally stand on the tips of it! Here's a picture of it.

We also played with friends a lot, and I got to finish my valentine's box for school.  Here is the love bug that I made to go on top of the box. It looked pretty cool!

And the most exciting part is that our relatives are coming soon!!!!!  Finally, Honey Bunch is getting baptized!!!!!! We are so proud of her! -Princess

Let the FUN begin!  :)

First Day of School 2013

The kids started school the end of August. All of the kids. Including my baby the now kindergartner. They all go to school all day Monday through Friday, and I am one lonely mama. And one proud mama because they are doing so well. I have heard wonderful things from all of their teachers.

Megaman the Kindergartner -

Honey Bunch the 2nd Grader -

Princess the 4th Grader-

Dude the 6th Grader-

Kid Comedy - kind of....

Honey Bunch has had a "loose tooth" for over 2 years now.  Really it was just wishful thinking on her part, so when we went to the dentist in September and he said that she really did have a "barely loose" tooth we were so happy for her! She got right to work wiggling and wiggling.  She got it to the point yesterday morning that it would have fallen out with the slightest touch.  Then she refused to touch it.  Why? Because she had to make sure that it fell out at school for everyone to see.  She waited until her class was all gathered together at carpet time and then popped it out.  She loves attention, silly girl!  She got a tooth necklace from the nurse and she is one happy chica!

Dude was playing with some friends in the neighborhood on Friday afternoon.  I was playing with Megaman in the basement when I heard Dude come in and holler for me.  When I told him where I was he said, very calmly, as he came down the stairs, "Mom, before you see me, I just have to tell you it was an accident.  He didn't mean to throw it at me."  Oh boy.  Then I see this.

He was ok, heads bleed a lot, but I find it hilarious that he was so concerned not with his head, but in making sure that I knew it was an accident! Oh, and I took the picture to text his Dad, I wasn't saying, "Hey, here is a kodak moment, hold that thought while I get the camera!" ;-)

Halloween 2012

The week before and the week after Halloween we all took turns being sick. I was the unfortunate victim on Halloween. Doctor was so great and took the kids to the trunk-or-treat at the church by himself, and he took them trick-or-treating around the neighborhood while I slept. He was so kind and sweet. We had an angry bird, vampire(ess), pretty witch, and a knight.

We had a our traditional "carving of the pumpkins" family home evening the Monday before Halloween. The kids draw on paper what they want, gut the pumpkins out, and then the surgeon gets to work.

Dude has earned his Webelos!

Dude worked hard this summer and earned his Webelos in cub scouts.  He received his award this last pack meeting.  Good job, Dude!

Grandparents Day

The girls had Grandparents Day at their school a couple of weeks ago. Since all of our grandparents live so far a way, I was a pretend grandma for the day.
In Princess' classroom, we did a crossword puzzle and she interviewed me.  Her friend's grandma couldn't make it, so I was her pretend grandma, too.

In Honey Bunch's classroom, we did a craft, sang songs and looked around the classroom.

This is what she will look like when she is a grandma.

And what she will do....

Pumpkin Patch Fun

I went with Megaman on his field trip to a Pumpkin Patch, and we had a great time.  We went on a hayride, a cow barrel ride, jumped in a bounce house, jumped in haystack, walked a little maze, and lots of other fun things.  We had such a good time, I took the other kids another day.  They even did a zip-line.  Dude did the adult one, and the other three did the kid one.  Here are some pictures of our fun time.

And a video of Dude's zip-line
