Happy Birthday Father o' Mine

Some of you might know that mom had planned an awsome surprise birthday party for my dad. However, dad decided that he would become sick and wasn't able to come. Did that stop us from having the party? No, it did not. Leann and I decided to do the thing right and dress up as dad so that he could feel that his spirit was still part of the party.
Here is the awsomeness of us. Needless to say (But I will say it) our husbands were both very disturbed about us dressing up as men. It was fun and the cake was good. Next time I think that dad might want to check out his party. =) Have a wonderful birthday dad! Love you!

Happy Birthday Jacob

Happy Birthday Jacob! We celebrated Jacob's birthday this year by going to All-Star Sports. It was great because he got pizza and soda, lots of tokens, and got to do outdoor activites. We had the cousins come and Jacob's friend from school. The kids had an awesome time playing outside. Then we bought a cake on his real birthday so that he could officially turn 8!

First Day of School

Well it is true. I am finally able to download pictures on the internet again. So now you will see the pics from the first day of school. I am a little late getting these on here since we have been in school for 3 weeks now. Oh well.

Rebekah has started High School. She really loves it. I can't believe that she is in it. I see her every once in a while. Apparently she does not want to acknowledge me, so of course I have to make a big deal about it in the hallway in front of her friends. =) So I think that she is learning it is better to say "hi" the first time. =)


Alyssa is now in the 6th grade. She has been doing really well in it. She is in intermediate school, which is only for 5th and 6th grade. Then she will go to middle school that is only 7th and 8th. I like the way that it is divided up. I think that it better prepares the kids. She decided that she doesn't want to play band this year. Choir here we come! =) I am a little partial to choir myself.



Aaron is in the 4th grade. This is his last year for elementary school. *sniff*. He is also doing well. This is the first year he has had a male teacher. It has been a great experience for him. Of course, he still would prefer to stay home instead of go to school =)


Here is Jacob. The brand new 2nd grader. His favorite class is PE. He is very athletic, a natural ability. I don't think that he got it from me! =) His birthday is this month so he has been praying about it every night. Apparently he really wants to go to Chuck E. Cheese. *groan*.

This is obviously just the bare minimum of what the kids are doing. Richard is now teaching 3rd grade. He really is liking it. It is much different than 5th grade. Richard is getting out of the National Guard so that he can be home with us now. He just finished his masters in education last month. I am so jealous. I still have until May before I am done with my masters in psychology. I am still a vocational para at the high school. It is my 3rd year there. We have been having computer issues lately so hopefully we are on the right track and I can stay online for a while. Everyone have a wonderful day!
