Videos of the kiddos

I am getting the hang of this video stuff now. I have two videos... The first is Robert and Geneve boogeying down to some tunes. The second is the musical talents of our cousin Joseph.








This week our week has been filled with homeshooling and more homeschooling! We are getting back into the swing of things! The kiddos are finally used to the regular schedule. Bella is busy with math and reading comprehension. Will has mastered his phonograms and is now onto reading. He also has started to master some math facts. Geneve and Robert are just enjoying playing around. I have started them on some preschool skills. Robert is working on his shapes and numbers. Geneve is just enjoying coloring right now. Winston is keeping up...he has started to skoot everywhere backwards, he can just about make it across a room. He is enjoying his new skills and is exploring his play area.
These last few days have been so nice and warm, the kiddos have had some outside play time, which they would do all day if they could! We are going to take a walk pretty soon. It is now time for me to finish my bible study while everyone is quietly napping or playing.

Lovely Wife Song - Tim Hawkins

This was too funny, I had to share...

Prince Robbie and Cinderella

(I just showed this post to Rob and he grinned really big and said, "Cinnnarella and Me.")

The kiddos traveled to Disneyland for New Year's. The following is from my niece's blog... it was too cute and I had to share...

The cutest story was of Robbie's encounter with Cinderella at Goofy's Kitchen. Let me narrate for you. I would have video-ed it if I had known it was going to be SOOO cute.

Cinderella wanders to the table, instantly zeroing on the cute little blonde. Prince Robbie gives Cinderella his most heart melting smile with those baby-blues working overtime. She of course melts instantly. He introduces himself as Robert.



Cinderella notices how little Prince Robbie is eating and proceeds to ask him to eat a little more. He mulls over the idea. She pleads with him, promising him extra sprinkles on his ice cream. He gives her what I call his "beaten puppy look". He pretends to be shy.



"Well, just for you Cinderella." He licks a bit of the broccoli, a bite of pizza, and a tiny shrimp. They speak for a little while longer about important topics, like the value of cake versus ice cream.



It's really hard to take pictures of toddlers but I tried! Featured are the Grant, Garret, Gregory, Joe, and I think that's Robbie in the back.



Look at all of these kiddos in one car!!!

Here's a picture of Bella and Joey racing on the scooter.

Choir Recital

Bella and Will had their choir recital in December. They enjoy the class and are learning a lot about music.

More Christmas fun... Lights, Legs, and Laughter!

I am very behind...but I have some fun stuff from Christmas to share...
First is the Christmas Lights Parade. We had such a fun time attending this year. I was really cold, but the lights and floats and hot chocolate made up for it! Our favorite float was the gingerbread house, (Well mine was, the kiddos all liked the cars that made noise and the lawnmower riding Santas were pretty funny too)! And of course I have to add a picture of Bill's leg lamp from his favorite Christmas movie... A Christmas Story! We proudly displayed it from the front window of his office this year.


Our leg lamp!

Will and Robert sipping some hot chocolate.


Geneve drinking her lukewarm chocolate. She sat in that chair and barely moved the whole evening.


Winston was bundled up tight, I am not sure how much he could move with all those layers. But at least he was nice and warm! He slept almost the whole time.


Cousin Joe Bugs enjoying the parade.


Lights, lights and more lights!
