Cute things Ethan says

Today there's a light covering of snow and Ethan said look mom it's snowing it's winter time. He keeps saying look at these smells look at these lines they're so cute. Then he says "look at these cars there so cute I want to hug them". Also yesterday I was having a hard day he could see you that I was sad and crying. Ethan said "are you hurting mom talk to me"

Ethan just went to sunbeams. This is his second week. He wants me to stay with him but he is doing good. He is way more social than any of my other children. The teacher brought a mirror and asked Ethan who he sees. Ethan says, (excitedly) "That's Ethan James Black".

I love my family

I really love my family

Crazy Hair day!!!

Today the kids had crazy hair day.  Kaleb had a red mow hawk and Jaycee had one spikey hair on top of her hair.  It was so funny.  Jaycee couldn't even get in the truck because it was so high.  She said the kids all called her unicorn.  She didn't like that.  She authors tell them it is a tv antenna.  She said everyone kept touching it and by the middle of the day, her hair fell down. 

Volleyball

Jaycee signed up for Volleyball with a few of her friends.  I had no idea that she would enjoy it as much as she does.  I love to go watch her practice and play her games.  She is really good too.    She had the most awesome serves.  She makes it look effortless.  Obviously She is so tall, which is a great advantage.  I'm thinking of signing her up for basketball next.  She has never tried it but what i love about Jaycee is when she enjoys something..... She will practice and practice and always does her best.  I LOVE watching my kids play sports too.  It is so much fun.

Jaycee's paper

These kinds of things bring tears to my eyes.  This sweet daughter of mine never lets me go unnoticed.  I can't believe I can have someone in my life who sees me in this light.   

Red lips

This is what Ethan looks like after a mouthful of licorice. 

Today he also sneezed and then said "Mom, say bless you Ethan."  I replied like he asked.  Then he says, "Thank you, momma"

Rodeo time

Jaycee, Kaleb, Ethan and I went to the rodeo this year.  We had such a great time.  I was surprised that Ethan was so good the whole time.  He loved watching the horses.

Jake and Kasey future bachelor pad.

These boys, Kasey and Jake, have decided to build themselves a real house at Cane Beds ...Miniature of course.  They are wanting to do two levels.  This is just the beginning stages.  I'm so excited to see what they learn and accomplish in the process.

Pumpkin

The kids wanted to carve pumpkins for fhe.  We got them all carved and then roasted the seeds.  We had home made chicken noodle soup.  The best part was seeing the kids happy.
