Glasses

Today Alexus went to the eye doctor. She has been telling me for months that she has headaches above her eyes. She also said that it was hard to see things that were really far away. I told her that it sounded like she might need glasses. She wasn't really happy about that, but I told her it would be fine, and that she would be really cute. So we went and sure enough, she needed them. She is near sighted. When she put her glasses on she was surprised how well she could see everything. She is her mother's daughter. She gets more like me all the time!

Salmon Creek School, here I come!

Last week was the last week of school and Blake graduated. He is no longer in pre-school he is in kindergardon. He is really excited. He will miss his teacher Kim, she was great. At graduation they sang a little song, The Busy Bee song, and each child said what they wanted to be when they go up. Blake said that he wanted to be a Doctor, looks like Chuck and I will be taken care of when we get old!!! Blake had to get shots so he can go to school, 3 of them yuck! He didn't even cry. (That's way better then I have ever done.) He took it like a man!

Feis (Irish dance competition )

A couple of weeks ago Alexus was in her first Feis! She was a little nervous, but you would've never known. She did a great job. She danced 5 different dances and got a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place. Each dance had anywhere from 12 - 25 girls competing. I was hoping that she would at least place once. I wasn't expecting anything like this!

9 Months

Miss Carly had her 9 months check up and she is 25 lbs and 31 1/2 inches tall! What a big girl! Her newest thing is pulling herself up and letting go and just stand there. She'll be walking in no time. :( It makes me sad. My baby is growing up. The poor thing had to get shots yesterday too. All of her clothes are getting too small, I guess that means I will just have to go and buy more. That is just to bad! On Saturday we got the swing out and Carly loved it. She kept pointing and saying (it sounds like )waz tha.(what's that) To day she had her first ride on the Merry-go-round.She didn't now what to think at first, then she kept waiving after she would pass my mom and I standing by the side watching.

Carly

Since coming home Carly has turned 8 months and changed a lot. She crawls everywhere and pulls herself up on just about everything. She is a big girl. Chuck's newest name for her is lead baby. She weighs 26 lbs and 31 1/2 inches, lots bigger then the other two. She loves the camera, when I got it out she attacked me.

Texas

We went to Texas to see Grandma,Grandpa and Aunt Britt. We had a great time. We flew and the 3 kids did really well. We went to the childrens muesem, the Zoo and NASA. We had so much fun. Of corse Alexus had the most fun riding horses. If she could have she would've rode more. She did a really good job.
While we were in Texas Carly got her first tooth, I would've never known if I hadn't put my finger in her mouth. Blake also turned 5 1/2. He was so excited. I don't know why. Britt graduated while we were there. Driving there was crazy. all over there were signs that said caution ICE.Chuck and I asked Joyce if it freezes at a different temp in Texas then in Washington. She laughed. Also there are tons of trucks there and they go where ever the want. If they are on the freeway and it is backed up they will drive across the grass on to a side road. We were shocked when we saw it it wasn't just 1 or 2 I think we saw 15 truck and 2 or 3 cars.

Well I know that it was been 4 months, but life has been crazy! Let start with Carly at 6 months she was 22 lbs and 30 inches tall, Yes she was the size of Alexus at 1! She continues to be a great baby and very happy. After that we ALL got sick . All 5 of us had to go on antibiotic. We had Easter and the kids had a great time at the church Easter egg hunt. Then Chuck and I decided to sell the house. We found a new house to build in salmon Creek closer to school. Since next year Blake will be in school driving back and forth would be crazy. I had A good Mothers day. Alexus and Blake classes both had Mother's day programs it was fun. Then we left for Texas!
