Can you believe it's almost summer??? This is Emma's last week of school (she's out Wednesday)...VBS in 2 weeks, then summer camp the week after! Kids sports camp, then our fourth of July celebration, El Salvador Mission trip then kids music camp and then our "fall back in" festival to kick off the fall...over half of our summer is already planned on away trips, not including weekends!!! We like to stay busy, so it's a good thing, hopefully we'll sneak in a family camping trip too :) Our neighborhood swimming pool opened up last week and we're looking forward to many HOT days spent there...
Emma has really enjoyed second grade and her teacher is fantastic, I only hope next year she gets a great teacher too! She has continued to be a very good student, turning in assignments early and being Miss social bug! She still loves to read (checking out the limit of library books from her school library each week)! She loves riding her bike and scooter, or playing outside in the backyard with our 2 dogs! She recently finished up her last year in Sparks and received her Sparky award for completing all 3 books among other awards :) She thoroughly enjoys singing in the KidZRoc choir at our church and performing in musicals there. She looking forward to the summer and all the camps and things our church is offering!
Anna has become quite the "student", she loves to write, asks me constantly throughout the day how to spell things! She enjoys playing with her younger siblings inside the house as she's not quite the outside girl. She always has on a skirt and hair bow to match. She is still our late sleeper and if I let her she'd sleep until 9am!!! Anna just completed her second year in Cubbies and is so looking forward to being in Sparks! She is soooo excited to be in Kindergarten! We had her Kindergarten physical a few months ago and was so disappointed that she wasn't able to start school right then. She asks me every day when she gets to go to school and when we can go shopping for her school supplies! She loves to be Mommy's helper and help me with dinner and chores, her specialty is sweeping :) She is still too young to participate in the camps at our church, but she's looking forward to going to the pool!!!
Lizzy loves to draw. She still insists on you "helping" her draw animals and things, but my drawings are never good enough (I am a terrible artist) and she ends up drawing it on her own ;) She can write her name, but doesn't think it looks pretty when she does it and often asks me to write her name too. She finished up her first year in Cubbies and is looking forward to going back in the fall. She LOVES being at church and asks me every day if it's a church day. She like Emma really enjoys singing in the choir (Joyful Noise). She is very expressive and loud during the performances and always steals the show with her awesome dance moves :) She is our outside girl and you will often find her outside. She still has the fearless attitude and often puts our 2 dogs (way bigger than she) in their place! She likes to help Mommy out with cooking and has quite the imagination, she's our story-teller!
Jack is a fireball. He runs with his sisters like he's one of them, as big as them and can do whatever they can do. He talks non-stop, very bossy and the girls melt when he gives them his sad face, lets face it Mommy does too ;) He is still such a happy little guy, with so much personality! He LOVES trains, planes, cars, etc. Anything that has wheels he wants it. He has such an imagination and uses anything to pretend it's a train or car. He is still a great sleeper, going to bed at 7:30 (like his sisters) and getting up around 7am. He still takes a nap in the afternoon, 1:30-4pm (yay, his sisters had stopped taking them at this point). He too loves being outdoors and playing in the dirt (typical boy). He too loves to go to church and looks forward to Wednesday evenings, Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings!!!
Sarah, myself :) I have always been a couponer, but lately I've changed my strategy to save time and more money...I'll share more about that later. I stay pretty busy keeping up with the kiddos, church events, Pampered Chef and family visits!!!
Jody is gearing up for the summer....it's gonna be a busy one, but looking forward to all that God is going to do!!!
Just wanted to give a quick update on what we've been up to these past few months!!! Hope you all are doing well and I'll get back into the swing of this blogging thing soon :)
