Bee's picture post

Bee has turned into such a fine young man. I am not sure where my little baby went but he's not there anymore! Bee loves to play Daddy's Xbox.
Bee knows all his letters and the phonics, numbers all the way past 100 plus interval counting (5,10,15,20). He knows and can spell all his colors. He even knows 20 sight words!! I'm totally impressed with Bee and his schooling! Totally showing his teachers can he can keep up with the class!! I'm soo proud of him!
Bee helps around the house a lot now. He even puts away the dishes!! (Love that!) He keeps a close eye on his brothers and is first to tell you if someone is hurt or not doing what's right. He very much likes a set schedule and doesn't like it when things get changed, especially his morning routine! He loves his brothers and is always willing to give them hugs. He's a very sweet and polite boy.

Glo bug picture post

These are a bunch of pictures of Glo bug, the past few months.

Glo bug is learning so many things the past few months. He learning knew words everyday, copying Bee in most everything. He even sings his version of the ABC's. He is becoming more and more daring. At the beginning of the year, he would keep me on a short leash, always knowing and seeing me. Now he runs off and joins whatever is going on and I have to keep eyes on Bee and Glo bug!! He enjoys his time with me these days, that Bee goes to school and Dragon takes a nap most mornings. He is learning to go potty in the toilet! Wahoo!! He hates going potty on Thomas underwears, so that's the game plan. Auntie Kassie sent Thomas underwears, BIG hit! As you can see from some of the pics, he still naps his afternoon nap. The one pic with boots and no pants, that's how he thought he was leaving the house... Not so much!

The last wrestling one is with Aunt Megen. My girlfriend here, Megen, plays with the boys on the ground all the time. Glo bug started calling her Aunt Megen, I'm assuming because we have an Aunt Megan in Seattle and he thought all Megan's are Aunts. Anyway it stuck and she will always be Aunt Megen. Even other kids from church call her that now!! Way to go Glo bug!!

Glo Bug's Thomas

While on my quilt shop hop in Seattle, I bought Thomas for a little boy that kinda loves him.

Once someone found it, I was pretty much made to make him a blanket, and fast!!

My supervisor

The brown matches the carpet nicely!

Quilted it with some stippling to get it done fast.

Someone approves.

That's the best part of making quilts, watching someone love it. I've already washed it no less than 20 times since I made this in August. Glo bug loves it!!

Airshow

We went to the Arlington fly-in with Heather and Drew. I also picked up Diana because Leah had just broken her arm the week before, and Diana didn't get to get out much.
We looked at all the booths. Played on the toys until the day camps showed up. We decided to go to McDonald's for ice cream because it was pretty warm that day and Pheobe was way hot. Then we went back for the air show. The boys liked it but to be honest, when you get an air show of F22's in your backyard everyday, little airplanes doing circles isn't as exciting as it once was!
But it was wonderful to see Pheobe and let all the cousins play.

Ompa's trees

This summer, at Ompa's house, we helped him split some of his trees! Ompa would run the chainsaw, while Bee, Grandma and I took turns at the splinter. And the others threw the wood into a huge wood pile. Glo Bug 'helped' by throwing balls for the dogs and shoveling the dirt around the yard. Dragon even joined in the festivities by catching a mouse with Rosko. (The mouse got scared by Ompa's chainsaw and ran under Dragon's exersaucer. Rosko polished him off before he could escape Dragon's loose hold.)

After we left, Ompa and Grandma stacked all the wood in the shed... Should be enough to last a few years.

Hostess the mostess

With Hostess going out of business, I ran to the store and picked up some doughnuts and hoho's and other Hostess things. I wanted to take pictures of the boys eating them before the legend completely died.
I heard there was a box of twinkies on eBay for $500.00!!!
