Happy Half Birthday!!

Today our "Plum" is 6 months old! It is hard to believe that he has only been in our lives for half a year. I cannot image our lives without him. There was a time in our lives that I thought we would not have any more children. I am grateful that Heavenly Father has blessed us with him. He bring us so much joy. With the hard time that we have been having I feel so blessed to have this sweet little spirit in our home. Having these beautiful children in our lives make all our trials worth trying! I feel so blessed to be a mother it is hard at times but well worth it! These past 6 months have been so wonderful. I look forward to the next 6 months, with all the fun new things our baby boy will be learning to do! Here's to the next 6 months!

Good Citizen!

"Apple" received an award for Outstanding Citizenship in the 1st trimester of school! Way to go!
"Apple" is a good student. She just received her progress report she got a 4 in spelling and math skills and concepts and a 3 in writing. A 4 is advanced and a 3 is proficient. Way to go sweetie keep up the good work! "Pear" did well too! Kindergarten progress reports are done a little differently. Keep up the good work you two! Mommy and Daddy are proud of you both!!!!

Rollie Pollie

Thursday was a big day! "Plum" rolled over all by himself for the first time. He is 5-1/2 months. We are so proud of him! Even after two kids I still get excited at each little milestone. I love watching the older two get excited at the new things their brother can do. I Hope you enjoy this video!

Student Of The Month

"Pear" was named student of the month! Good job! He received a certificate and on the back his teacher wrote: "Pear" has made excellent progress this year in school! He has completed every homework packet this year. "Pear' is a fantastic artist, he enjoys illustrating the great work he does in writing!

Name That Child

For safety reasons I have decided to give my kids different names. The title of my blog is a take on the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. So I named my kids after the fruit that the Caterpillar eats. When you hear me refer to "Apple" (my daughter), "Pear"(my first son) and "Plum"(my baby boy). I will be referring to my 3 beautiful children.

Miss Match Day!

All you mothers of school aged children will appreciate this. Evey Friday is spirit day at school. They pick a theme for everyone to dress up like 80's day or crazy hair day which was a few months ago (I will post those pictures too). This Friday was miss match day. I try to let the kids pick out their own out fits normally, but a lot of time they put together some interesting outfits. So today I let them pick out what ever they wanted. As you can see they have some interesting things on!

Big Boy!!

What a Big boy! My little guy turned 5 months last week! I had wanted to wait until he was 6 months to start solids, but he just seemed ready and hungry. He was always watching mommy and daddy's food and trying to grab it. So last night we gave him his first helping of rice cereal. I think he really liked it. Hopefully as time goes on he will be more satisfied and sleep longer at night! I will keep my fingers crossed!!

My Twin!

The princess has a new hair do. My daughter had been asking for about a month if she could have bangs. I am not sure why she wanted them. I think it is because Aunt Debbie was coming for Christmas and I like to have her cut my hair when she comes down, so she wanted her hair cut too! I really didn't want her to have bangs I thought she looked cute just the way she was. She kept asking and after great agony I decided to let her do it, it's just hair! I think the bangs look really cute on her. It is kinda scary I think she could be my twin. She looks just like me when I was about her age. There is no denying she is my daughter!

Happy Mommy!!!

After 3 weeks of winter break the kids our finally back in school. I love my kids, but I am happy they are back in school. Because of the unexpected snow the kids were out of school for 3 weeks instead of 2. The house is a disaster. I don't know what it is but when the kids are home the house does not stay as clean as I would like. I am starting to get it put back together. All of the Christmas decorations are down and now they need to be moved out in the garage. I am the type of person that can not wait to decorate for Christmas, but by the time Christmas comes I am so ready for it to come down. Now my kids want to know if we can decorate for valentines day!
