The Kiddos...

Trey is enjoying 3rd grade. He has a hard time with math so is going to math club two times a week after school where they work in small groups on math. Hopefully that will give him the extra help that he needs and he can get caught up to where he should be. He loves to read and he loves to lay in bed at night and look at his school yearbooks from the last several years. He and Ethan are becoming good buds. He is the king of sound effects when he is playing. All boy that is for sure, bombs exploding, guns shooting, things crashing... his last dollar spot purchase was a bag of army men so there has been war going on in his room lately. He loves to draw and one of the things he wants to be when he grows up is an artist, that is if he doesn't become a jet fighter pilot.


Avery loves first grade. She is getting better at reading. She loves to come home and play school. She is our tv watcher, if we would let her she would watch it all day. She is very particular about her room, and get's very upset if someone messes it up. She just takes her messes into daddy and mommy's room so that her room will stay clean! She is paying me back for all the "stores" and "restaraunts" i used to set up all over our basement growing up. She loads backpacks with all kinds of stuff and has offices and stores set up all over the house. The other day while driving by the Skies where Johnny took her on their date, she was telling her brother how cool the place was and she said "i am going to take the boy that i marry someday there".

Ethan is having fun being mommy's little stinker. There is never a dull moment with the boy. He has lately decided to take his diaper off every time he pees in it and today informed me that he pooped in the kitchen...sure enough...enough said! Tonight after work i bought pullups, so we may give that a try tommorow. He knows his routine everyday and after lunch when he sees me making him a sippy cup he starts saying "no night night" "pay (play) mommy", but we fly like an airplane into bed and that makes it not seem quite so bad afterall. He still naps awesome for me, usually taking a 3 hr nap, which gives me a 3 hr window to get the house back into tip top shape before the hurricane comes back through! :)

Raegan is doing great and has seemed less congested the last couple of days which makes us very happy! She still sleeps all night in her swing, and usually only wakes up once to eat. She has been getting her hands in her mouth lately and i have caught her with her thumb in her mouth a couple of times. I don't even care at this point, i just want her to either suck her thumb or learn how to keep the binky in her mouth so that she can soothe herself back to sleep. She coos and smiles all the time now and is a little sweetie pie.
