To Isaac, on your 4th Birthday!

Isaac,

I just love you buddy.  You are such a sweet little guy and just a joy.  You can scream something fierce if you get mad, but you are generally easy going and go with the flow.  You like to play with super heroes, figures, and cars.  You almost always have a small toy in your hand.  Right now your favorites are random cars and magna-tiles. 

You LOVE to push buttons and touch all the things.  You've turned off Grandma & Papa's heat in the middle of winter just because you like to push buttons.  You also like to just see what things do.  I'm sure this curiosity will serve you well one day. 

You like school but aren't always excited about going.  You LOVE Miss Dawn at church and being in her class. 

Buddy, I am so thankful for you.  You are the sweetest fifth baby a momma could ask for and I'm grateful for you!

Love you always,
Momma 
(Yes, we're still best friends)






For your birthday dinner we are having:
PIZZA.  You asked for chicken but when I asked what kind of chicken you said rabbit.  You also mentioned that you would prefer not to eat dinner and just eat cake :)

For your birthday cake you had: A chocolate tyrannosaurus cake.  Green with black frosting :) 

Your favorite toys are:
Small things you can carry with you.  Generally cars or dinosaurs, small animals or little legos.  You also really like rocks these days.

You don't like: Being told no, when I don't answer all of your questions before bed time, being rushed to eat, or when your big brothers push you around.

Thankful Thursdays 2015 #6

I missed a week.  And while I knew about it and I was bummed about it, I've given myself the grace to move on with my life.  Thank you for understanding :)  I feel like I'm finally in that season of life where if I fall short of my own goals, I can be ok with that.  I'm not saying I don't try and I don't do my best but I'm not going to hold myself to some arbitrary standard and beat myself up for it.  Life is too short for that. This week I'm thankful for... 1. My husband.  He is one of those guys who I fell in love with and have fallen more in love with since then.  For our anniversary he bought me a glider (like a rocking chair but way better for those that are not familiar) and roses.  He knows what delights my heart and I appreciate that so much about him.  He also came home today with two dressers for the boys room and a baby swing because he knew they were on my list of 'needs'.  I'm thankful for the way he takes care of us and provides

Homeschool Update

So I am thinking all things homeschool lately...mainly because my husband gave me an awesome budget for next year that is allowing me to think outside the box a little bit.  We just purchased two Chromebooks for the girls to use with their school work...then I threw out the internet based curriculum I was using.  Right?  Ha!  Fortunately I got a great deal on them and one only works when it is sitting right next to the router so they are going to send me a third one for FREE!  Anyway, enough about that.  This year has been frustrating with History and Science.  The curriculum we are using is good, but it isn't capturing Grace's attention and she is young enough that I want her to really enjoy it, not just get through it.  When she has classes she HAS to take for high school credits she can worry about doing them because she has to.  Right now, we're going to enjoy it.  The curriculum we've been using is pretty dry next year as well for history and science so the plan

Life & Waiting

I have a love/hate relationship with waiting for babies.  Logically I know I'll be spending the next 18-20 years with this boy...but that doesn't make these next couple of weeks feel any shorter!  Last week the baby was transverse (sideways) across my stomach which is an automatic C-section if he presents that way when I'm in labor.  Fortunately he is now (well, as of Wednesday) either butt down (breech) or head down (ideal!).  Either way is better!  I'm still praying he is head down because that is best case for all of us.  We shall see.  This is one active baby but I think I've said that about all of them.  Either way, I can't wait to meet him and I'm confident God has his birth all under control. Life these days is a little nutty.  I feel like they are periods of rushing followed by periods of waiting - within the same day.  When the kiddos are sleeping it is always a mad rush to do as much as I can, but when they are up the time slows down a bit.  I&#
