Tonight for FHE we talked about the story of Jesus' birth. We had all the little people and animals and other props carefully made for each part of the story. Each piece had a magnet on back so it could be added as it's part was read. The boys drew the scenery on the white board. In the upper left hand corner Harley drew a picture of himself (its in red and a little hard to see in this picture). At first I was going to tell him, no, that he was not part of the nativity. But then I thought wait, yes he was, we all were! So I left it there and when we read the part about, "a multitude of Heavenly hosts..." we told them that they (and we) were there and sang with joy when our Savior was born. Thanks for the reminder Harley!!!<br />

We have been doing fudge for Reed's clients since he started with Edward Jones. In the past we have experimented with many different flavors, butterscotch, orange cream, white chocolate (just to name a few). With everything to do this year we thought we would keep it simple and did just peanut butter, mint and chocolate (two batches of each). The peanut butter turned out really good this year!</td></tr>

Here is a little video of the program. So funny! They were hiding the jingle bells behind their backs until the chorus - Kason couldn't even sing he was so focused on hiding the bells. This was by far his favorite song they sang. It was organized very well and they did some really cute songs! Kason teach told them to sing like, "birdies and angels," and they did!</div>

We haven't been hit as hard as expected by Hurricane Sandy (or Frankenstorm as it has been referred to), but it has made life a little more exciting none the less. We went to fill up the car on Saturday and our usual 7-11 was out of gas. The stores were selling out of things like milk and batteries. Reed said that one check-out worker commented to him that if this hurricane doesn't end up hitting us very hard, people will have all the batteries they need for Christmas. Well, it looks like Suffolk is going to be set.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Harley has been working on this. He is doing reasonably well and remains dry through the night and most of the time during the day. However, he has yet to voluntarily go to the bathroom. I still have to remind him every half hour or so that he needs to try and most of the time time he replies with a very irate, "No, don't say that to me!" So, until he make the leap to independence I wont consider potty training a complete success. Any suggestions are welcome, please.</td></tr>

We went to the branch (because of a recent boundary change we are in a brach now) Trunk-or-Treat on Friday night. After going around to all of the cars to get candy Kason sat down on our bumper with Reed to help hand our candy to the other kids. Shortly after we ran out of candy and started turning people away. Our sweet little Kason said, "Maybe I can give them my candy, i don't want to eat too much!" I thought of when I was a kid and the way I counted and recounted every piece of candy I got trick-or-treating and moved it to a new hiding place every day until it was gone, to make sure I was the only one eating it. He is definitely here to teach me!</td></tr>

We are still aloud to use the hotel amenities, so we will hang out by the pool/beach and have a late lucy and then head home. We fly through the night first to Honalulu, then Denver, then into Columbus at 3pm. We have had a great time, but I can't wait to see the kids!</td></tr>

The first day we were there one of the hotel staff was telling us about the dolphins and said that if there is a pregnant lady in the water they will circle around her. She said they can actually sense that extra presence and want to protect her. According to the story there was a lady out snorkeling and the dolphins circled around her. When she got back to town she did a pregnancy test and Surprise, she was pregnant! </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At the end of July uncle Stu came home from his mission to Tempe, AZ (Same as Reed). I thought I would be really funny and make "Hello My Name Is..." stickers for all of the kids because they have changed so much in 2 years and Stuart hadn't even met Ella. I still get a laugh out of it, but I think it went mostly unappreciated by other. Sadly that's how most of my jokes go over. Anyway, the boys had fun making posters to take to the air port and welcoming home Uncle Stu.</td></tr>

It is pretty funny and Kason and Harley are really into it. So, I ended up making all Shawn the sheep themed party paraphernalia.

This Saturday Reed and I will be taking the kids to Reed's sister's house in Ohio, where they will stay for a week while Reed and I are in HAWAII! I am a little anxious about leaving the kids for so long, but also very excited. It will be a great trip and a needed vacation.</div>

So, in addition to Hawaii we may have one or two more trips to the beach, and a few more afternoons at the park in the coming month, but for the most part we are now looking forward to Fall and will be focusing on Halloween (a favorite holiday around here - dress up and tons of free candy - what's not to love?), preschool, and cooler whether. </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This post is a little late, but we had a great 4th so I wanted to share. We started out going to a pancake breakfast and flag raising at the church (which I didn't get any pictures of). Then we walked to the end of our road for a parade. Our neighborhood does a really fun one with fire trucks and police motorcycles that were really fun. Then people in the neighborhood decorate their golf carts and drive them in the parade while they throw candy out for the people watching. Kason went last year and had been looking forward to it ever since. I don't think they he was disappointed! (Sadly I didn't get any pictures of that either).</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Reed also got to take it out on his own. He said he got in up to 52mph, which with the rough waters of the Chesapeake Bay, is really moving. Kason really loved the game room where they had Fooze Ball, Air Hokey, table shuffle board, etc. They showed a movie every night on a big screen at the indoor pool. It didn't start until 830 (way past bedtime) so we only caught a glimpse each night, but it was way cool. We even saw a wedding in the court yard right off our balcony, the colors were red and teal or turquoise, it was really pretty. Another awesome summer regional. Thank Edward Jones (and thanks Reed!!)</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So, we finally decided to do some summer hair cuts. Here is a before picture of both of them. They had been getting so blond because of all the sun they've been getting this summer, but also a little too long to be comfortable with all of the heat and humidity. Haircuts are something that Kason really does well at. He can sit still for a very long time and even gets excited about the clippers and the scissors. For Harley, on the other hand, this is a source of a great deal of stress. The clippers make him nervous and the scissors scare him to death. So, we have to beg and bribe and take lots of breaks in order to finish the job on him. Throughout the course of the afternoon he got a sucker, a candy bar, soda pop, etc. When Reed got home we were almost done and, since Harley is a little more comfortable with him, we decided that Reed would be the one to finish the job. Of course at this point Harley had just about had it with hair cuts and no amount of pleading or bribery would convince him that he wanted to sit through it again. So, Reed was trying to wrestle him down and get the job done and amidst the struggle Reed dropped the clippers. As he was picking them up when I entered the bathroom and decided I would cut if Reed would hold him down. I grabbed the clippers and began my assault. To my horror I found that the clippers, previously set at 3/4 inch (we have the kind with the comb that slides up and down depending on the length you want), because Harley has really cute beach blond curls I like to keep it a little long even in the summer, had slipped down to 1/8 inch!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></td></tr>

So he now had a big chunk of bald head! We had no choice but to shave his whole head. I shed a couple of tears for those beautiful curls, but luckily hair grows. It won't be long before we do the whole thing again. But next time we will check the clippers each time before diving in. </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Reed joined us again late Sunday night/Early Monday morning. Memorial day we went to the annual Pig Pickin' at Sleepy Hole Park. Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures, but this was a highly anticipated event at our house. Kason especially was very interested in what a Pig Pickin' would be like. He even said at one point that he was really excited to, "see the big pig all dead!" So, Reed took him over to the pig first thing. It's a whole pig, so you can see its head and feet and everything. I'm not so sure it was quite as cool in person. Harley called it, "That gross thing." But man was it delicious!<br />
<br />
After the Pig Pickin' we invited some friends over to Reed's Parent's house to go swimming. We had a great time enjoying the sun and good company. This is the only picture I got monday. Ella is hanging out in the kiddy pool. She really likes the water!<br />
<br />
Today is rainy and dark and kind of boring with only laundry to do and Reed back at work all day. That's why one of my favorite quotes is, "God gave us memories that we might have roses in December" and might I add, "...Sunshine on cloudy days."</td></tr>

I always thought it was so weird when people would have to do that and now here I am, at only 28...um yeah...28 and I'm already doing it! Oh well, the joys of getting old :).<br />

They have these huge indoor gardens with fountains and waterfalls and beautiful flowers and plants. We asked one of the gardeners about how they keep it so immaculate (no weeds anywhere, that's my kind of garden!), they said that because it's indoors they don't get any weeds. I'd like to bring in a couple of dandelions to blow all over the place, is that evil? </td></tr>

Good bye Tennessee! It was an awesome week. We really missed uncle Mike who couldn't get work off to come, but everyone there took part in some high quality fun and bonding. I learned a few things - number one that I wish we all lived closer together. I learned that I can get a good night's sleep on an air mattress. And by looking at these pictures I learned that I really need a haircut and to loose a couple of pounds - oh well. Thanks Jeff and Tammy and family for a wonderful vacation!</td></tr>

I love love summer! I love the heat and the sun. I love the way everything greens up and the sky blues up. I love all the fun to be had outdoors (although I am still working on fully appreciating what Virginia has to offer, besides the beach). I love BBQ, and evening walks. I love T-Shirts and flip flops. I love swimming and drying off in the sun. I the sand and the ocean. I love hiking and camping. I love vacations and road trips. I love it all! Each new summer brings a whole other level of enjoyment as I get to share all of the joys with my growing children and my loving husband! One thing I do love about VA is summer starts early!</div>

I love the this video. It's so funny to watch the kids. They all run for the ball as soon as it is hit and then have a little squabble until someone rises triumphant with the ball. Reed has some work to do teaching them baseball basics. I love Kason's little pose at the end after he hits the ball.</div>

He qualified to win a trip about 6 months ago, that we would be leaving on right about now, but we weren't able to take it because of having a new baby. But he qualified again and so in September we are off to beautiful Hawaii! Ella will be weaned by then and Reed's wonderful sister has offered to take the kids for us while we go. They live up in Ohio and have 3 kids pretty much the exact ages of our kids. So, while it will be crazy for Carolyn, the kids will have a great time. Reed and I are very excited! Thanks for all of you hard work honey! I reap the benefits in so many ways. Love You!</span></td></tr>

I asked Harley what his favorite song is to hear when he is going to bed. <br /><br />He said, "I Am A Child of God!"<br /> I said, "I like that one too."<br />He said, "When Daddy sings it," and then just to make sure it was clear, "Not you"<br /><br />Just when you think you're doing a good job, your kids step in and bring you back to reality :). Thanks Harley!</span></td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a great Easter! As the kids get older and we welcome new little people into our family, holidays just get more and more fun to celebrate. The boys really enjoyed all of the fun traditions that go with Easter. We also had some special opportunities to teach them about Jesus Christ and the importance of His resurrection. Kason made us proud on Saturday when we were at the primary Easter Egg Hunt activity and they asked the kids why Jesus' was resurrected and he raised his hand and said, "so we can live forever." It really is amazing how much they learn, one might even say they remember. It was so fun getting them all dressed up for easter. Having a girl in the mix this year made it extra fun because we got to do a big frilly easter dress - Thanks Mom! </span><br />

Saturday after the activity at the church we colored Easter eggs. Kason has a lot of fun writing on his in white crayon and then seeing it appear as he dipped it into the ink. He is very thoughtful and loves to make things, so decorating Easter eggs was right up his ally.<br />

As I was telling Harley what we were going to do he kept asking if we were going to eat the eggs. I would say, "We are going to color some eggs." Harley would say, "and eat them?" I would say, "You can put stickers on them and dip them in the colors," and Harley would say, "and eat them?" (and so on..) Apparently Harley didn't see the point in decorating your eggs, eggs are for eating. In the end he did enjoy watching the eggs turn color and eventually he did get to them.<br />

Harley figured out fast how to open his eggs and get the candy out and he been doing it with every egg he has come across ever since. Needless to say the eggs are of little value when he finds out they are empty. Luckily Ella enjoys the empty plastic eggs very much. Isn't the give and take of a family nice.<br />

One of our neighbors made this cute bunny cake and brought it over for the boys. They were very pleased with it and thought they were so funny when it cam time to eat the bunny, laughing as they ate the bunny's face, ears, tail, ets. What fun!<br />

We had a super fun V-Day. First the boys and I surprised Reed for lunch. We went to Olive Garden, during naptime, which was a bit of a gamble, but fun anyway. Then I got my popcorn Valentine from Reed delivered by a delivery truck, which was very exciting for Kason. And then Kason and I made Valentines while Reed and Harley made a delicious gourmet Valentines dinner. I am so lucky to have 3 such handsome Valentines! What a fun and love filled day! <br/> <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.5</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705213383159462946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185065308020798741.post-70567593639289050522011-02-08T07:53:00.000-08:002011-02-08T08:09:10.380-08:00Read All About It!<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"> We have some big news to share: We are expecting baby number three!
