Trying another new thing

Having the techie hubby that I have, he is trying to help me figure out newer and better ways to do this so I can get it just like I want it! :)  I don’t know how different this is going to be.. but, I am going to try to put pictures in throughout this post and see if I can make it work! So, lets start with Ethan…

Awww!! Look at my baby!!!!   Ok…. now we will do a more recent one.. This was when he was 4.

Ok, so I will do this one backwards… There is a recent one of Asher… And Ethan :)  Now I will do the older one of Asher! I am going to do pics of all of the boys.. at 4… just because I don’t like that age… so it is a good age to look back on and be out of!!!

Look at those eyes!!!!  Ok, now for Ez!

Now, one of him now! This is fun! hahaha hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoy doing! :)

Nothing like a chocolate milk mustache self portrait!!

Have a good day!

A new week

Here we are in a new week. Yesterday we were thrown off a bit because we went to San Marcos to help my sister and to get my new hutch and table and chairs. I am really excited! I have been anxious to get my pretty dishes out of the box, and now... 2 years after our move... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! :) ok... Raise your hand if you can believe it has been 2 years?! Ya... me either. March 26, 2007 we pulled out of the church parking lot and into our new life!
Anyway, sorry, that was a little off subject... So, we didn't do school on Friday, then we only did school for a little bit yesterday, so this week is going to be playing catch-up. Such fun! Started off rocky.. Ez took 4 hours to do his Geography... :-S frustrated me just a little... *sigh* So, hopefully, by the end of Friday, we will be all caught up!
Tomorrow we are going to start a new thing. There is a family at our church who have become good friends of ours... Tami, the mom... :) has her grandmother living with them. She has Alzheimer's and is getting worse little by little.. she is almost 90 years old. So, between homeschooling 3 daughters, having her hubby working from home, and taking care of her grandmother, Tami doesn't get such a thing as time for herself. So, the boys and I are going to start going over there on Wednesday to have lunch with Gramma Char. *short for charlette* I am going to cook lunch here, and serve up some for hubby, then take the rest with us to eat. Then we will get to spend a couple hours with her. She is a very interresting lady. She worked for..... darn.. I can't remember right now, but I will get the whole story again tomorrow.. anyway, it was missions work.. and she has been all over the world. Africa was her fave so she talks alot about that! I will let you know how that goes! I am going to post a picture of me and her.... ummm and I look scary because I was telling the camera to WORK!!! Later!

Sickish

Hubby and I and both our little boys.. have colds... The little boys are coughing and all stuffy... hubby just has a cough... and me.. well, I have... a stuffed up head... stuffed up chest... no voice.. sore throat... I mean.. you name it.. I have it.. stomach... everything is a mess... sigh. I am happy that we were all fairly ok till yesterday... I was sick early in the week.. then felt better... then got sick again. Guess God wants me down a few more days.... We are going to San Marcos tomorrow though... Heather and Shawn got some furniture from his grandma and aunt.. and some of it was stuff I need... So they are giving it to us! We just have to go get it! Yay for family sharing! So, hopefully I will feel better tomorrow! More later!

Try something new

Ok, I want to try something new.. This thing looks like it makes it easy to put up a video, so I am going to give it a shot. I am going to post a video of the boys paper rockets that they built, getting shot off! :) by the way, the ignition was water and a small piece of alka seltzer shaken up in a film case!

Cooling for a spaceman

We have had a FUN day today!! Started out going to NASA day at the LBJ library! NASA came up from Huston with a bunch of fun experiments, and a couple rocket models, and space suits.. Lots of cool stuff! The kids got to build and launch paper rockets; they got to see and assist in a demonstration on gravity... *no.. Jedi didn't push anyone off a building!* They got to see what happens when you go into someplace with no air.. *using a "marshmallow man* They got to help discover a new planet.. I got alot of cool pictures! I posted on picasa, if you want to see all of them. I will just put a couple up here.
We also started gymnastics today with our homeschool group. The kids LOVED it!! Even Gavin got to participate. I didn't know they would have a little gym.. so that was a fun treat! I had to stay with Gavin so I enlisted my friend Ruthie to take pics of my big kids for me. So the good ones of them are taken by her! THANK YOU RUTHIE!!!! Anyway, hope you enjoy the pictures, again.. I think the pics might come before the words.. don't have this all figured out yet... love to all!!!

Big day

Today was a really big day.. We got up and did school, I did lunch.... then the running started. Ethan had his cardiologist appointment today. It went well, they didn't find anything.. which I expected.. They sent him home with a 24 hour halter monitor. That will record his heart rates for the next 24 hours straight. He is supposed to keep a written log of everything he does and when he does it so that if there is a spike in heart rate, they have an explanation for it, or they know they should be concerned. The appointment took a little over 2 hours... I had made Ezekiel a dr. appointment to have his foot looked at. A week ago when we went to our friends house, Ez dumped the dirt bike. He was still complaining about his foot last night. So, we decided to have it looked at.. Well after being at the cardiologist so long, we missed Ez's appointment. So, I took him to the chiro instead. He checked it out and decided it probably is a fracture.. in his heel. He said to get an aircast... so, I was running looking for that for a while.. didn't find it... then had to run home and get ethan to take him to youth group... then had to take Ezekiel to do a house sitting job he is doing.. then ran and got dinner.. and got home in time for hubby to turn around and go get ethan... so now I am sitting here regrouping and trying to find an aircast on the internet! *sigh* Have a good tuesday!

Super Sunday

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I love it! We get to go fellowship with our Church Family, and then we get to home and rest and just be... We don't have anything we have to do... No where to rush off to. We get home about 2 or 2:30, and just relax. Sometimes we get a nap, sometimes I get to read.. Today, Jedi helped Ethan put up a pull up bar in his room. I think he needs something to do with all the extra testosterone! :) I started a new book, the little boys just played. All has been well. Tomorrow, we are back to the grind. I am still struggling with my attitude. I am having a hard time having a good attitude with being where God has me. I am selfish, and just want to do what I want... Not good. So, I have some new rules in place for the boys... and I have some new rules in place for me. I take Ethan to the cardiologist tomorrow. Pray for good results! Thanks! I will check in tomorrow!
