Sports Day 2011

Well it's that time of year again where the school year is coming to yet another end!! Seriously, WHERE DOES ALL THE TIME GO??????? As of now, Noah has completed another year of preschool, has another year to go before Kindergarten starts for him. Syd is just completing 1st grade and has successfully been a straight A student all year long. That's my girl! :) Isaac is completing 4th grade (wow did I just say that?), and will be moving to another cluster group next year since he is finally progressing pretty well academically! I couldn't be more proud of my kiddos for their accomplishments. Last week was the Jordan School District's annual Sports Day for all the special needs kids. This is Isaac's FAVORITE day of the entire school year. He has so much fun. It is such a fun event for these kids. They all really enjoy it, and everybody goes home a winner. So cute to see them all compete. For some reason I can't download the video of him running the 50m dash, but if you go to my facebook page, you'll see it there, if you haven't already. All these pics are already posted on facebook as well so if you've already seen them....sorry. But for the blog, here are the pics again....


Isaac showing his ribbons he won. 1st place in the 50m dash, 1st place in the ball toss, and honorable mention in the long jump. GO ISAAC!!

What can I say.....I'm a SLACKER!!!

Ya Ya Ya I know......I promised more pics clear back in January, and before I knew it, it was the middle of MAY!!! Life is so incredibly CRAZY these days. I think I'm still trying to adjust to there now being 4 kids instead of 3.....or at least that's my excuse for my lack of blogging, my never ending messy house, my laundry loads being forgotten these days...but at the same time, the kids are happy and healthy and that's what counts, right? So, since it's been about 4-5 months since I last posted an update, here are some of the events that have occured since my last post. And of course, my pics are as always.....OUT OF ORDER!!! But oh well.....So at this point, here's the status.....Isaac is now 10, Sydney is 7 1/2, Noah is 4, and Emma's just shy of 7 months! Time flies when you're having fun......or when you're super busy....or BOTH!!

Daddy's Girl!!

This was supposed to go in with the Easter pics, but got overlooked. This is one of my very favorite pics of Chris with lil Emma!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this pic of the 2 of them! :)

Isaac's Birthday
Isaac celebrated his 10th Birthday!! I know......where has the time gone??

Emma's 1st food
Emma has been learning how to eat solids, and of course, her sister LOVES to feed her!
...but of course she still needs some practice with keeping food in her mouth, and not blowing it all over herself like she did the other night. If you'd like to see a pic of that, refer to my Facebook page and you'll see the pic of her with carrots all over her face!

California Trip

So I was able to get away for about 10 days and head to California with my parents to see my brother and sister. I took Noah and Emma with me so Daddy could still be able to work while Isaac and Syd were at school during the day. We had a great time, but it rained all but 2 days we were there. One sunny day about midway through the trip, and the other sunny day waited until the day we headed home. I have never in my life seen CA be that stormy!!!
A nice soggy rainy day at the beach just outside of San Francisco. Despite the cold wet weather, Noah still LOVED seeing the ocean and throwing rocks in it.
A trip to Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco!
A view of Fisherman's Warf in the rain.....yeah, if it weren't so stormy, you would have seen the Golden Gate Bridge in this picture!
Having fun at the aquarium!
Rain rain go away.....come again another day....Little Noah wants to play.....Rain Rain GO AWAY!!! Noah LOVES to sing this song!
All the humid air gave my kiddos MORE curly hair!

Noah's Birthday
Happy 4th to Noah!! Growing right up, and STILL obsessed with anything Toy Story!

Easter 2011
My Grandma Stewart (now 96 years young), my mom, and my cute lil Emma!
.....and then Noah grabbing an egg from the Easter egg hunt.
FINALLY got a pretty good pic of all 4 kiddos together.....without any noses being picked, any tears shed, and they were ALL looking at the camera! YAY ME!! :)
My pretty lil princesses....
And my good looking dudes!! They were so proud to be dressed alike per THEIR request!!

Okay so I think that somewhat brings us up to date, but there will be plenty more as always. The kids are down to only 3 weeks of school left before summer break, we will be taking yet another trip to CA this summer, and the kids have some fun events happening this summer as well so stay tuned, and hopefully I won't be such a slacker anymore!!! We can hope, right?
