The 4th grade

Moriah has already had a couple of projects this year. The 4th grade seems to be bringing on the WORK! She just finished her 2nd book report (she chose to make a mask of the main character). This project required a little more work than the last one. We were glad that Daddy was home and able to help out with this great pattern. Moriah was pleased with the finished product and was excited to bring it to class today!

Another Soccer Game

Kayley had another soccer game last night. Unfortunately her team did not win (they must have had "beginners luck" last time). Kayley did score the only goal though, and it was a blast to watch her team play!

Got Milk??

Most kids Jacob's age like milk...he may take it to the extreme. I asked Kayley to get him his milk and this is how it played out:

Jacob: I love playing in the kitchen...it makes me feel manly!

Ohhh. Did my sister bring me milk?

Two milks! How exciting!

Give me! Give Me!

I love milk. I do! I do!

I will stash my milk in my secret place - the plastic microwave...

after 1 more little swig. :)

Oh no! They caught me! What to do? What to do?...

RUN FOR IT!

Milk. It does a body good. Two milks...twice as good for Jakers!

A Few Firsts for KAYLEY

Today was the FIRST day of KINDERGARTEN for Kayley. I got to go to school with her for about a 1/2 hour (thanks Jackee for watching Jacob). Kayley was excited to be there with her friends. She had no problem when it was time for me to go. I was so HAPPY! After school I walked across the grass to pick her up (they just cut the fence last week, so we can get to the school that way, yea). Moriah had already got her so the 4 of us (Jacob too) walked home!

(Pictured is Kayley's self portrate doll we worked on before she went to school today, Kayley and I had lots of fun shopping for stuff and then putting it all togehter, notice the matching outfits. I coppied her t-shirt and then shrank the picture of the horse, so that her doll's shirt would have a matching horse. Like I said, WE had FUN!)

More pictures from our deck (too bad the fence is in the way).

Soccer

Last week was Kayley's (#11) FIRST soccer game. All I can say is that SHE is a NAUTURAL! She scored 5 of the 8 goals, and yes her team did WIN. Kayley had a blast, and had fun being on the same team as her cousin, Jordan and some friends from church.

(jumping for joy when she scored!)

The weekend

A Trip to the VET

On Saturday Gloria and Patches had their first visit to the Doctors. They had to get their shots. Moriah was concerned how they would do getting so many shots, she thought she might have to leave the room (like she did when Jacob got his shots) but EVERYONE did great.

Grandma & Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa were out in Utah this past weekend. We enjoyed visiting with them! The kids and I went and ran some errands with Grandma (it was just like old times when we lived in California with them). When Mark got off work and joined us, he took the kids swimming in the hotel pool (where Grandma and Grandpa were staying) the kids enjoyed the water. Jacob was in and out of the pool, he loved it!

Kayley and Gloria

I thought this was so sweet. You can't hear Kayley very well because of the wind and her soft voice, but she is singing to Gloria and rubbing her nose (I am pretty sure she had her sleeping, before Patches came over). Kayley definitely favors Gloria, I keep telling her she needs to play with Patches too.
