Reflections 2009

Both boys are going up to the next level for art they submitted to the Reflections program. We're super proud for they won 2 of the 5 places allowed to move up to the next level for the entire school. wahoo!!

I hate croup

Almost every year some of my boys get this. Vy and Lolo were down with it. Toki and I caught colds soon after. Often we end up at the doctors for ear infections or eye infections. This year we were able to work it out on our own. I used a steamer, lots and lots of tylenol, cold towels, and lots of rest. I usually end up holding them as they sleep which means no sleep for me all the while Chris is out of town. We survived though. I despise croup.

Random Stuff

Anybody else's kids do this. Their also back in their playing with marbles stage. Hours and hours of it and hundreds and hundreds of marbles.......using the books for contraptions and playing for keeps.

Projects

This week we've been working on this. Chris did all the complicated stuff. I just imagined what I wanted for my kitchen and whah la...a few days later.... And a lot of hectic days in between. We're also working on the cabinetry. Everything is done but the doors.




I'm super excited about what we're doing on the doors. Pictures to come.
I'm also dreaming of a back splash, range, and new counter tops. Maybe next year.

A few baby pictures I took

There are a few more I liked that I'll post up later.

Caleb William's tournament November 2009

The boys started up wrestling. Sorry for the poor quality of video...I need to find a new movie editing program. We weren't expecting much at Vy's first tournament but were happily surprised. Chris was his coach and was way more nervous and stressed out than Vy was. I've never seen Chris plan ahead this much for something.

Brothers

The boys told me that at 7pm (last night) there will be a show. Remember as a kid doing stuff like this?
