Holy Cow. I am such a slacker. I posted Disneyland and the just left the blogging world and now I am so behind. So this is a huge huge update. Sorry for the picture overload.
In February we had dental month. It was a lot of fun for the kiddos.
Valentine party at preschool
My niece Kensley Anne Meikle was born in February and she is an absolute doll.
Kids had their first sleep over. It was a lot of fun to experience this first.
Brielle has been super attached to babies lately. These babies go everywhere with her. Its cute but obnoxious to have to carry them everywhere. They all get tucked into bed with her too.
For Valentine Day we did our scavenger hunt. Kids loved it. They each got a treat from Grandma Meikle and a balloon and treat from mom and dad.
Another picture as proof that they all get tucked into to bed
These kids LOVE outdoors. They love their trampoline. Santa really gave them the best gift. Notice the boys...yep they are shirtless. They say they are better fighters without shirts.
Another pic of the sleepover. Several times that night I'd come out because there would be noise and they'd all have moved to the hallway with their pillows and blankets and then I'd shoo them back to the living room. Next time I came out they were having a full on pillow fight. They were up till 1 that night.
Curtis sweeping the floor with the kids.
Meeting baby Kensley.
Brielle LOVES baby Kensley. She would bawl her eyes out when we'd take her away. I've joked with Jaymon that he might end up with 2 babies instead of one.
And classic Brecklynn. Actually turns out she had strep AGAIN. She's scheduled to get her tonsils out on Monday. Hopefully we'll see a new Brecklynn soon.
I came down one day to brecklynn's bed and do you see the picture in the window? Yep that's a picture of me at my wedding. She said she just loved it Thought it was cute.
Sunday best. Brielle was dressed up in one of my favorite outifts. I got it from my Aunt Teddie. Fur coat!! Love it. Perfect day too. It snowed this Sunday unexpectedly.
Cambree lost her first bottom tooth at school. It started wiggling the night before and was out less than 12 hours later. Tooth fairy kept slacking though. Took her 3 days to get her tooth but she got a good pay out from it. $5.00!
SNOW!!!
Brielle is in a coloring phase. She colors herself any chance she gets a marker or pen. This time happened to be a highlighter. She's amazing cause it will only be on her and never on her clothes or anything else.
Curtis celebrated his 29th birthday March 1st. The kids were so funny with it. They wanted to buy him a gun and a new swimsuit. We ended up with some new work shirts and an ice cream cake.
Dr. Seuss unit was this month.
We went down for Kensley's blessing. The kids love their Uncle Connor.
And their Grandpa
And their Aunt Jarica
Brielle tried on Ridge's wig for Green Day. She loved wearing it.
Funny Hat Day
Brielle found Brecklynn's bathing suit and insisted on wearing it. She was so cute in it.
Baby day. They were matching and I bought Cambree a binky and Brielle had to try it too.
Wacky Wednesday. Everything was wacky at school. Clothes on the curtains, bananas on our charts, table upside down...kids loved it
I added these names to the wall. I love how this wall is turning out.
We also had shoes on the wall for Wacky Wednesday (Brielle didn't like her shoes on the wall one bit)
Brielle has started the tantrum phase. She literally screams and throws herself on the tile. Face down and muffled. Its pretty pathetic but we get a laugh out of it.
Dance night with friends.
Being just stink'n cute.
Green Day
Cambree dressed up for favorite character day as Thing 1. I think it was pretty creative right :)
Funny Hat day
Silly Sock Day
Pajama Day
Wacky Day
One Fish Two Fish Day
2nd Green Day
We tried green eggs. Reactions of kids was great.
Ridge liked it!
And so did Brecklynn
Brielle has finally grown out of her morning nap as much as I tried to not let her. So she's been joining us in preschool. Been extremely tough but she is so cute.
More updates about the kids. Cambree just won first place for her poetry in school. She is pretty excited about that. She almost has her back hand spring. She is practicing daily and does cartwheels and handstands literally everywhere (even in stores). She loves to read and is a great reader. She is a great help with her siblings. Her drawing is great!!
Ridge is constantly in character still. Always shooting webs wherever he goes. His drawing abilities are quite amazing. He also can write quite well. His reading is coming along. He is so excited to start kindergarten. Round-up is early April which we are all excited about. He is in first gymnatics show here pretty soon.
Brecklynn is a ball of personality. We never what Brecklynn we're going to get moment to moment. We are truly helping that her procedure monday will really help her be happier. She has lost 4 pounds since January and she doesn't eat all that much because of her throat. Should be interesting to see what happens. She is a chapstick girl. Always begs Curtis for chapstick. She loves to color and read books.
Brielle is just plain and simple a crack up. Every day I laugh so hard about the silly little things she does. She has the best little smile. She is talking so well now. She still can't say Cambree (without a lot of coaxing) and it drives Cambree nuts but she will with time. She has a huge obsession with baby dolls, swings, outside, Nana and drinks. She is vey independent and hates to be messy. If she is eating yogurt, every little drop of it has to be cleaned up before her next bite. If she eats a burger, I have to fix it between every bite. She loves shoes except her own. This has been hard for me because she refuses to wear her shoes that are SO cute and like Brecklynn's shoes or Ridge's shoes. But she loves my shoes as well. She's curious about everything. She will spend HOURS outside by herself pushing trucks around or just walking around. She loves books and could read them all day. She loves to sing. She has a couple songs down that are pretty funny. She can count to 10 with help and tries to call out letters when I recite them with Brecklynn. She writes on anyhting she can. She LOVES bubble guppies and would watch them all day every day if she was allowed. She's my snuggle bug. I hate that she's getting big so fast.
Well hopefully that catches us up for now. And hopefully I'll stay on top of it better.
