Yet another update!


Well, needless to say... I've been really bad at updating my blog lately. So, here are some things that have happened through out the month of March. Above is a picture of Devin when he turned 10 near the beginning of the month. Below Erik has been very creative making forts for himself... so far they've been for just one person, so we're working on getting better at making them bigger. He also has been building houses for his trains and other toys out of blocks. I love how creativity can save you money... you don't have to buy the Thomas round house for example.
At the same time, Ben and Bekah were making a bed for them selves and then taking these plates, like they were driving a car.
At nursery on Sunday Bekah really enjoys singing time. Even though while she is there she is usually really tired, she comes home singing all the songs. She found one of her old hats that doesn't fit anymore and started to sing "Bekah __ __ HAT" which is Bekah wears a hat. She kinda hmms and dances inbetween the words that she doesn't know. I had to go ask her teacher what all the words were again.

Erik's tower...
Here is another fort they made out of the bunk beds... this one does fit more people...

Sorry I tried to roate this one, but it wasn't staying that way...The boys weren't letting the girls in the fort... so they were having there own fun.
Okay, I have mixed feelings about these next pictures. Mostly frustration. Ben took Itty Bitty soccor last year and would not do it. He would not let me sit down, would hide behide me, and I tried everything. So, I wasn't going to do it EVER again. But Ben has grown a lot the last year and loves preschool, so when he begged me for weeks to do soccor... I reluctanly signed him up for Itty Bitty sports (included all sports). He promised he would play and let me go sit down. So, did it happen... NO... he freaked out right when se entered the gym. All the excitement had disapeared... He acted the same way as last time. But this time I had Bekah, Kambree, and am a house with pregnancy. There are a few (very few) moments, I was able to get him to do something... or to let me sit down while he walked around on the lines of the gym in his own little world. SO, next year... it will have to be a sport that I can leave him there alone... I think that would work better. If there is a next time...



This is the girls watching them...
On his last day, Erik stayed home from school, so he tried to help out getting him to play.
So, that was the first part of March. It's been an up and down one. I will have a more serious post later on what is going on with Tony's job, the baby, and such.

There is nothing cooler than boys & a fort...unless it's Bekah singing nursery songs! (Made me wish for a video.)

Sorry about Ben & his sports. Sometimes it's just not the right fit. What a bummer.

I LOVED seeing Erik helping him & how much more enthusiastic he was! What a great big brother. :)

We miss you guys & can't wait to read/hear more about jobs/babies/life!!
