February Begins

This was a week of getting back into the swing of life.  I came home from my San Diego trip late Monday night.  Spencer was sick, and now the other boys have had their bouts with it.  We have definitely made great headway on the healing process by using our herbs.  No sleepless nights for the older boys; coughing has subsided significantly, and they are getting better before they get worse...I feel so blessed so often that we have learned so much since we've been here!

Parker and Tyson got their report cards this week.  Both are doing amazingly well!  Only one 'B' for each in handwriting...which, who cares, right! They are destined to be doctors!
This school district does computer tests, and Parker, being the YOUNGEST in his class, scored the HIGHEST in Math, and second highest in reading in his class.  Tyson's math score was only a TINY bit behind Parker's. His reading was also really amazing for only being FIVE!!
We don't quite know what to do with these little geniuses...keep them reading and doing math with their dad, for sure.  I also have to wonder what no TV is doing for them!!
Because of their great school reports, we took them out for a celebratory dinner!  (Kinda fun to reward them AND me...not having to make dinner or clean it up!)



I love when Spencer decides to wear something interesting...this week he chose his awesome hunting hat.  It's hard to get a good picture of him because he moves so much, but you get the idea.

Notice the excited drool leaking from mouth to floor.

Plus here he had the swim noodles and was using them as weapons...he won't talk, but he does great sound effects!

The highlight of the week was Josh's birthday!!  Along with that came a can of pressurized whipped cream.  Oh what fun was had in our home this week!!  Pictures alone would not have done it justice:

The Birthday Chicken comes to our house and delivers a box of cereal. ALL the boys thought it was quite a delightful treat because we don't buy cereal anymore.  Josh said it was good, but he likes the homemade granola better these days....ahh, my sweet, healthy man!

Morning delights. Parker and Tyson still ate pancakes too...healthy monkeys!

 

 

 

Thanks for the birthday card, Mom, Dad and Sisters.

The loot.  He got clothes because he lost so much weight that he is drowning in everything he owns! (Not Kaden, Josh.  Kaden just wanted to be front and center for opening festivities.)

NICE BOOTY!!  Pants that look good on him...that ones for me.

And here's a picture we printed for a few relatives to HAVE.  If you want one, let me know!
