Crazy life

So for those of you that actually check this thing on a regular basis.. (thanks Carmen), please forgive me for being so terrible and not adding anything for so long. I have been waiting for my mother-in-law to send me pictures from Joel's birthday( as I forgot the camera.. something about chasing two kids out the door)and I felt so bad about not posting on here about his birthday ( sorry honey) that I have just been putting it off now for too long.. so It was Joel's 32nd birthday on April 24th, and I don't have any pictures for you so you are going to have just imagine that we had a good time. We had dinner over at the Pemberton's and that was about it this year. Over the last 9 years Joel and I have made it a tradition to "go-away" for birthdays, anniversaries and so forth but somehow in the last few years it just hasn't happened. It's sad really.... :( We will do it again, I am determined..

so on to other things. Jeiven had registration for Kindergarten last Friday and that was interesting. The made him take all of these tests and such and he was of course brilliant at the cognitive stuff, reading readiness, ( he is already reading) and fine motor skills, but he didn't fair so well at the gross motor skills. I come to find out that he can't skip or hop on one foot! In all of my working with him to be smart, I forgot to teach him to be a boy! shame on me :) Most of you know that Joel is blessed with being able to take a mini working sabbatical this summer so you can only imagine what we will be working on this summer :)These two pictures were taken on round-up day.. we had a good day just me and him.


Malea is as crazy as ever. We decided it was time to move her to a "big girl bed". Bad idea. She ends up not falling asleep until 10:00 at night because she will not stay in her bed. It's not suppose to be funny but when you see your daughter with a book two inches from her face trying to read in the dark.. it's pretty hilarious. It makes evenings not so fun for Joel and I, but she will get through it.. and we will too.

One more thing to this never ending post... We have an offer on the house! YIPEEE I will make a visit to the title company tomorrow to do the official purchase agreement form, but we are going to need to find a new place to live here in the next little while as our house won't be ready for a long while. Our adventures never end but they couldn't get more exciting ;)
