This past weekend we took the kids to Sea World and to the Zoo. We went with Chris and Katie and their 3 kids and had a great time. Chase and Kori rode on their first big rollercoaster and loved every minute of it. There was hardly anybody there so they rode Journey to Atlantis about 4 times in a row, in the very front of the roller coaster. I am so glad that they like rollercoasters and not afraid of them, since me and Clint love them. Except by the time that I got to the Great White I wasn't feelilng much for it and really should have not gone on it, but i promised Rig that I would ride it with him. Anyways we had a blast watching the Shamu, Beluga, and Sea Lion shows, feeding the dolphins, and spending time with family. Holly and Paul and their kids even came down and we got to spend a little time with them at the hotel.
The next day we went to the Zoo which was a little hot for me but the kids had a blast there too. Reef slept the whole time- so his first zoo experience was I guess exhausting for him. We had planned on staying through Sunday but we decided to come home early. We are in the middle of a gospel meeting right now with Tom Bright, which is why we came home we didn't want to miss any of his sermons.
We are going to be very busy this week. We have the gospel meeting till Wednesday. The next day me and Kyla have to go up and decorate for the kids costume party that we are having that night. Make skeleton cookies for that. Then on Friday Chase has his Halloween party for his school that day and then that night its on to trick or treating around to everyones house. And sometime in there we have to carve our pumpkins, go to a pumkin patch for pictures, and so much more. Yeah!!!!! Well try and do the carving tonight after the meeting, but who knows. I will try to work on putting pictures up but I'm not very computer smart so we will see how that goes. I will keep you posted on pics from Halloween

Here we go!!!!
Well ok since Crystal did her blog I guess I need to keep my promise and do mine- I am a horrible writer so this might just be all about nothing. I have been keeping up with Kendra, Theresa, Autumn, Amy, Rachel, and now Crystal- so hopefully I will be able to do just half a good a job as these girls.
There is not much to talk about i am very busy with 3 kids. Chase is in a pre-school 5 days a week and loving it. He is learning his letters and numbers and all sorts of new songs that he comes home singing to me everyday and what he learns about at school- very exciting to watch him learn new things and become a little boy instead of a toddler. He is also playing soccer every Saturday till Thanksgiving. Yeah!!! He is in all niceness very interesting to watch. He doesn't have the competitiveness yet which is a good thing. He would rather be out their socializing with everyone than playing. At one time he had 3 other boys listening to his story while the other 2 boys were running the ball down the field- go figure. Never thought that he would be my social one since the whole time in College Station he was attached to my hip and wouldn't talk to anyone at all. My how he has changed and grown before my eyes. Well Wednesday nights at church they have the little boys go up before church starts and about 3 or 4 boys will go and lead a song up in the front to get everyone mind ready for church to start. Well last Wednesday night Chase wanted to do it- so we practiced at home the week before and told him all the rules (don't be silly, sing the song, don't yell into the microphone)- When it came to his turn he went up there with his open song book, pulled the microphone down and said "Please turn to page 553." and then started singing "Jesus Loves Me" He did such a good job I was tearing up and wishing that I had my camera. I was so proud.
Next there is Kori. Enough said!! Just kidding- she is having a hard time I think being the middle child. She has always been well how should I put it- well mean. She is bossy, stubborn, very aggressive, strong-willed, independent, and loud. And then there are some seldom times when she can be the sweetest little girl in the world and you wonder where she came from, and who this little girl is. Me and Clint have been trying to think of different ways to discipline her since nothing seems to be working. Some people may not agree with this but we spank are kids, we are commanded by God to "Spare the rod- spoil the child"- not that we use a rod but we do spank. Well back to my story the spanking hasn't' really been working, we tried taking all of her toys away and that doesn't work. So we are on to a new thing where I will spend quality time with just me and Kori and give her a little bit of attention and we will see how that works. We are thinking that she is feeling a little bit ignored with Chase and his school and soccer and Reef needing my full attention- so we are hoping that maybe this works please pray for us as we find a result. Now putting the negatives aside about Kori and on to the positives. Like I said she can be the sweetest thing at times- she is very sweet to babies- she can make Reef laugh and talk at anytime during the day. He loves her and is very fascinated with her and everything that she does. She can be very helpful around the house at times. She is very smart.( I know every parents thinks there kids are smart) She is very interested in letters and Chase's schoolwork that he does. She will probably start reading when Chase does. She just moved up to the 3 year old class at church and they have memory verses every Sunday- and she was so excited about having memory verses and learning things that Chase learned. So every Sunday morning she gets up and asks for her memory verse and studies it until she gets to class. She also wants to go up and lead songs with Chase but we have to tell her that only boys are allowed to do this and it is a little hard for her to understand- but she is getting better. Kori is a one of a kind little girl that at times is very very difficult to be around but at the end of the day when she asks you to snuggle with her and kisses your hand and says "Mommy I love you and you are my bestest friend in the whole world" it makes you forget all the bad things.
Last but not least is Reef. There is not alot to say about him. He is 4 months old now and is rolling all over the place. The blanket on the floor started out a very small square and now has grown to a very long rectangle. He is scooting all over and I know when he is crying that he is off the blanket and onto the tile. he loves to sit up, stand and watch people and talk to everyone. He smiles at everyone and is very nosey. He wants to be down on the ground with Chase and Kori and do the things that they do. He is eating cereal now at night and last week started bananas and is eating applesauce this week and loves it. He looks just like Chase did but acts like Kori did as a baby so he is a great combination of them both.
Well that wraps up the family sorry if it has bored everyone on to death- I will wait on the comments or no comments to either stop writing or to maybe try a few more who knows.
