kid pics/update

Isaac: Still loves reading. Did great in the school spelling bee last week. Is an awesome big brother and example. Loves making no bake cookies. His latest food invention is a sandwich with mayonnaise, pickles, ham, and a mini taquito inside, he loves them. Trying to earn money to buy a parakeet. Enjoys making up games to play (usually involving war) and enjoys writing stories and trying to make and invent things.

Ethan: Says he had the "best Christmas EVER" because he got 5 new stuffed raccoons. He loves his "cuties" which this is a picture of him with all of them gathered together. He loves gymnastics and I must say he's got skills, probably from the hours he has spent out on the trampoline. Every time he prays he says he is grateful for his family, the trampoline, and the neighbor kids. He adores Eliza and can't help squeezing the life out of her whenever she is nearby.

  

Mason: This kid loves to draw. He spends so much time drawing. I love to see what is in his head. His favorite medium is ball point pens. He always writes "To Mom, From Mason" on them. He is still very cheerful and positive and I hope that lasts forever. He and Eliza have a great understanding and friendship budding and it's awesome to watch. He still loves bubblegum and LEGOS.

Eliza: She is growing up so fast. This picture doesn't do her much justice but it was at hand and shows a bruise on her forehead which is very typical. She has gotten hurt the most already out of all the kids. She always has some cut or bruise on her forehead. She's crazy and loves to wrestle and jump on the trampoline with her brothers. She really loves to draw and she really loves to follow me around. If I'm not within a foot of her she cries and either has me hold her hand or pick her up. She is so funny, sweet and sassy all at the same time. She loves to smell her stinky monkey's tail.
