My aunt says these blogs are for bragging. I like them for the laughs. Here's some of both on Seth. He wanted to check out Harry Potter from school a few months ago, and they wouldn't let it. It's in an 'older' section (3rd or 4th or 5th grade and up).  I don't know why that mattered? Here's to "no child left behind....and no child allowed ahead!"    (wait, let me brag on another kid too... They let Carolyn get books from the first grade section, so why can't he get one from the 3rd or 4th grade section?)  Anyways, the first we heard of it was the last week of school or so, when he asked, "Can I get Harry Potter from the library? They won't let me get it at school." (and he explained why) So, I put a hold request at public library and got it for him. I figured, if it's too advanced for him, he'll lose interest and we'll return it. He started on the 16th of June. Finished it today. Read for hours on the days he r...

Kaitlyn's take on the weather: Who's making the storms come? [Heavenly Father] Why is Heavenly Father making the storm come out? Because we're being bad? (I didn't know why she would ask that. Seth suggested she'd gotten the idea from the story of Noah.)

I wish we knew the muffin man. And I wish we knew the muffin man's phone number too. (resumes singing) Sounds like a really fun guy for just a man. ~Carolyn

Seth finished baseball (this rec dept gives cool trophies)  Carolyn lost a tooth (her first)  Carolyn had her first dance recital  Alee learned to take her dress off...great...  Carolyn graduated kindergarten  Natalie joins Carolyn in the search of/love for nature (this worm only lived a day or two under their care) Kaitlyn agrees with me that holding bugs is gross.  Seth finished 2nd grade with many awards (of course) :)  Rob and I got to help jacob and Brittany move into their new apt (Grandma kept 4 of the kids and Kristen kept Carolyn)

After their primary Easter lesson, these are the pictures the twins drew (keep in mind they are 4 and one of them is weird): Jesus on a cross and an Easter basket and 8 eggs...and Alee's name because she's recently learned to spell it.

The last time I tried to update this blog, it wouldn't let me load on pictures...and what's a post without pictures? not one my dad will read - that's for sure....anyways, so having skipped most of february and all of march, here goes again - a few pictures to update our life and a quote that I don't think I've shared here yet...the quote first... Kaitlyn: "I love diarrhea the lumpy kid." (see if you can guess what popular book/movie she's referring to) My brother got his eagle...Seth may not ever get his if I don't get out that cub scout book and get to working with him!  We got a new (king size bed) like we've always wanted. The 3 girls got our queen...it looks nice in their room, but there might be too many in the bed!  Seth is learning to play the guitar (I'm not really consistent with these lessons like I am piano and neither is rob, so he knows very little, but he likes it and he doesn't whine about sore fingers like his sis...

Seth finally lost his 4th tooth (second on the top) this past Sunday – we’d been ‘working on it’ since the Tuesday of that week, and REALLY working on it over the whole weekend (and pretty much had given up and were waiting on it to just fall out! It was attached by something in the middle – the edges were all lose, but it was just stuck. It had a little help getting out (playing at a friends’ house after dinner Sunday night). We were all grateful to Carolyn’s friend Annabel (note edited for internet safety – except for part of it that was wrong anyways.) Seth was especially grateful and left a note of gratitude. We found the note later (and I of course had to scan it!) Unfortunately, the tooth fairy is on a tight budget this month, so Annabel was unpaid for her service. :)

Carolyn started dance - tap/ballet at the rec center - loves it Alee climbs - the stroller is her jungle gym (it stays set up here for our walks to school) Food...that's all she needs for any outing. The first time we've ever seen the bears so active! Alee actually cares about the animals some now.

This post is all about Seth. a note I found on Uncle Will’s bed…Seth did this all on his own. playing mario…what he does best…with a friend, which he really enjoyed. And the tooth….it’s been sticking out more and more this past month. we decided to tackle it last night b/c it keeps getting hit (and bleeding) Unfortunately, it is still way too stuck on the side, but the one next to it started bleeding while we were messing with the protruding one and we found that IT was wiggly enough to fight out! So we did: (first top tooth to fall out) The new redneck smile :) The trail for the toothfairy to follow Toothfairy had no problem finding the tooth box. uncle Will shot down the idea (of Seth’s) to set up a camera to catch the toothfairy…he was afraid he might get put on Santa’s naughty list (b/c afterall, Santa, the toothfairy, and the Easter Bunny do golf together often and news would be sure to spread of his misdeed). Seth understood and wondere...
