Ash and Lys

Ashley came home from school today so excited. Her music teacher made up a song called "We Love You, Dr. Seuss" and her homeroom teacher picked three kids from the class to sing it, on the announcements Friday morning for Dr. Seuss' birthday. Well Ashley was picked. She was also picked at the beginning of the month to count to 100 on the anouncements for the 100th day of school. Today was funny hair day, so she went as Daisy Head Maisy. This morning we were saying when she grows up she is going to be a teacher and she said she is actually going to be a pastor.

Alyssa is reading very well. This morning she was reading Green Eggs and Ham without any help. This is great for a preschooler. Now she is reading a Dick and Jane book. I am so proud of her. Most preschooler are learning their letters and she is reading books. Yea, Lys!

What's happening this week

Our week has started out better than last week when everyone ended up sick. Ashley's school is celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday this week, every day they have something special to wear. Today it is funny hat day, she wore a Chi Chi's sombrero.

Lexi is anxiously awaiting Wednesday when Josh has a hockey game, she likes to go, not to watch the game but to socialize.

Isaac has a championship soccer game on Thursday, his team is undefeated. Last night a coach called from the U-12 soccer team and wants Isaac to play for him this spring, this is in addition to playing U-10 soccer and baseball. I think spring is our busiest time of the year. Lexi will start her parades for majorettes then too. Ashley and Alyssa are not playing anything this spring, yet.

On Thursday I have a meeting with Alyssa's teacher, they always praise her for how much she helps in class, and say she is going to grow up and be a teacher. Well I guess that is all I know right now, take care.

Isaac, the laughter in our lives.

Isaac is always making everyone laugh, with faces, sounds, and most of all his never ending comments. He just got grillz (gold cover up for your teeth, rap stars, athletes, and others wear these), so he is really cool now. He does have a serious side, he is very quiet when he is not joking around.

Our many pets

Daisy
Patches
Bella Lily

We have 4 cats and a dog, so not only do we have a lot of kids but also lots of pets. Everyone thinks we are crazy, but we just needed a little more excitement.

Our first post

This is our first post, we decided to create a blog to share our stories (and there are many) and photos with our family and friends. With 4 kids there is always something going on here, and sometimes we forget to share the little things. So hopefully you can check in every once in a while and find out what is up with our family.
