In General...

We are all doing good.  William just finished his semester and gets a couple of weeks off.  We're waiting for his grades to come through.  I think he did well.  Michael got straight E's.  Donna's doing well in school but I have the feeling she's more the social bug than anything else.  Olivia's excited to go to school in a few months.  Mary is a terror as usual but starting to improve.  She reminds me of Elizabeth when she was little in a few ways.  Jacob is growing and starting to stand on his own two feet.  It's hard to believe he's about to be a big brother.  Fetus Ammon Kenneth kicks harder and harder everyday so that must mean he's good and healthy.  I'm 26 weeks along and trying to get the house in order and cleaned out for the new baby.  Today I took a step in that direction.  A friend of mine gave me a portable crib like Jacob's which gave me the ability to give the bassinet to DI.  A bunch of other things went to DI as well.  Oh, the freedom from clutter is a joyful feeling.  I highly recommend it!

Mary Bites the Monkeys

I took all the kids to Home Family Personal Enrichment Night and found there to be no nursery as usual.  So I told Michael he was in charge of the girls and to keep them in the nursery and that they knew where I would be and there was only our ward in the building.  So about 10 minutes later Olivia found me and soon the others were running rampant through the building.  I had to gather the nursery toys back into the nursery.  Anyway, during this rampant run Mary managed to find the Bishop.  She came into the room and told him that he was not human.  Confused at this statement he asked her what he was and gave her a few options like "Am I a man?  Am I a little girl?  Am I a Giants' Fan?  Am I an alien?"  She answered no to all his questions but was insistent that he was not human.  No more Nick for my kids!  I would have been embarrassed if we didn't know the Bishop so well.

Michael is Genius Material

I haven't blogged and bragged about Michael lately.  He's always been a great student and a grade level ahead in reading.  This term is no different.  He got straight E's (E is for Excellent) and is reading at a third grade level.  We just moved him and Jacob into the smaller room upstairs.  We're getting ready to paint and hopefully put up some shelves and get a desk for his books and things.  He's so excited to have a room basically to himself(Jacob sleeps in a crib and can't play with all of Michael's toys).   Michael's such a great little man.

New New New New blog

I'm kinda tired of resetting my blogs so maybe this one will stick.  William just doesn't have the time to fix my last site and I really didn't have time to get his computer away from him between school, work, church and homework.  This way I can blog from any computer.  I hope this one is better than yahoo.  Things were difficult to put the way I wanted them.  I might go back to .mac when William gets through law school and I inherit his laptop.  That's a few years away though.
