I haven’t updated this thing in forever. And I would like to say that it’s because I am so busy being a mom and a wife and starting up this business. But it’s not. I have time that I sit on the couch and watch my favorite tv shows. I am just too damn lazy to sit at the computer and type for an hour. But I now I have finally reached the point when I feel like my readers (ha as if I have any) need to know what is going on with our life.
I normally would go in birth order starting with Kylie and tell you all about each child. And if I didn’t start with Kylie then I would start with the baby Allie. So this time I will start with Chase. B/c it’s been so long since he has been first.
Chase is growing up to be such a big boy. He has just finished up his first year in preschool. Next year he will be going to more at four, hopefully if they have it. If not then he will be home with me and I will be homeschooling him for the first year. We are going to try homeschooling this summer to see how it goes. He is picking up everything Landon says. He has his own little attitude and can be as mean as a snake. But he is so cute that I am finding it so hard to get mad at him. I think that’s why he is the way he is. I laughed at him instead of disciplining him and now he thinks he can do whatever he wants to do now. This year has been a real challenge for us with him. I don’t know who quoted the “terrible-twos” but they didn’t have it right. Three’s SUCK!
He will be turning 4 years old soon. For some reason he thinks he is turning 6 this year. I’m sure Landon has something to do with that. Probably thinks he is going to Disney World again this year. We told him that when he was 6 then we can go back to Disney World.
He is crazy. Yesterday he was over at his grandma’s house and we got a phone call to come pick him up b/c he had colored all over the walls with a black sharpie. We only have color wonder markers for that exact reason at this house. They thought I was so mean b/c I wouldn’t give the kids regular markers to play with. But now they KNOW!!
Landon is finishing up his Kindergarten year, and while it was a rough start he has really gotten the hang of it. He is doing well and now he is even riding the school bus. He is excited about the summer though. I will be homeschooling him this summer also. He isn’t reading yet and that worries me a little. He also isn’t tying his shoes yet. So this summer he will be really busy doing all that stuff. He doesn’t know it but he will be learning a lot this summer. He is playing soccer right now and played football this past fall.
He is so sweet. He knows how to light up my life. Jay gives him a hard time about being such a mama’s boy but I love it. Chase is so hyper so the contrast makes for a good evening. Landon can sit down and build a mega truck with legos and is perfectly happy doing that all night long. Even at school he loves to build with legos. He has a tendency to leave them out so I have to take them away from him just about every week.
Allie is all over the place. She is into everything. She is crawling now and even pulling up and crusing around the furniture. Anyday I expect that she will let go and take off across the room. She still hasn’t said “mama”. I’m thinking she is waiting for that special moment. It will be even more special now. She is so cute. I will say “Mama” and she says “Dada” and we can go back and forth like that for a few minutes. She has two teeth but I expect her to get a few more any day now. Her little nose is constantly running and she is pulling at her ears so I’m thinking there is another one in there ready to come through. She is eating like a champ and is almost up to 20lbs. That hair is still red. I was looking at Landon’s pictures and at his first birthday his hair was still really red so she still may grow out of it.
We will be having Little Miss Allie’s first birthday party soon. She is over 10 months now so I need to start planning. I already have the theme picked and everything. My mom won’t be too happy but I love it. It is so cute. I will post pictures as soon as the date gets here.
Kylie is finishing up 4th grade. She was on the Principal’s List nearly all year long. And when she wasn’t on the Principal’s List she made the “A” Honor Roll. We are rally proud of her. She is going to Girl Scout camp this summer. Its horse adventure camp at that, so she is going to have so much fun.
We have a summer full of activities to do. Summer camps, camping, beach and river trips, vacation bible schools, and the library summer reading program. Along with the pool and splash park visits. It’s going to be a fun summer. Hopefully they don’t make me want to pull my hair out. But I’m sure that will happen within the first week.
