Update....

So I think I will just start doing a quarterly update since I am not so good at posting all that often. So lets see I ended in January so February we had not too much going on but at the end of the month we did celebrate Chase's 6th birthday and Kori's 5th birthday with a combined Wall-E birthday party. We were going to have a big blowup jumper but it rained so we just had everyone over to the house just to play and we watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Most of the kids had already seen it so they just ended up in the kids rooms playing the whole time. I have made everyone of my child's b-day cakes since they turned 1 and this year was no exception so me and Clint ended up making a Wall-E cake and 20 Eva cake pops. They were both fun to make and they actually turned out not to bad. Also at the end of February I helped my aunt with her bi-annual consignment sale and I got the deal of a lifetime. As everyone knows my kids love dinosaurs well a lady had consigned a Kota dinosaur(if you don't know what it is its the biggest dinosaur toy they have that is interactive with kids and they can sit on it) Anyways my kids have always wanted one but with the price tag of $300+ we didn't think that was really something they needed. So as I get to the sale I see one and was very shocked and excited to see that she was only selling it for $40!!!!! I couldn't believe it her son had got it for Christmas and was terrified of it so that was why she sold it. Needless to say my kids from oldest to youngest loves the thing and is in our living room for all to see plus there is no room in the boys room for it to fit.
March brought us soccer games for both Chase and Kori- This was Chase's 2nd year and Kori's 1st. I must admit I was pleasantly shocked by Kori. I think she will be my athlete. She was stealing the ball from everyone, making goals, running up and down the field. She is very aggressive but I already knew that. Chase had improved since last year but he is not at all aggressive. He will kick the ball and then stand back and let everyone else have a turn- but then he will stand back and try to anticipate where the ball is going and try to beat it there. He was the fastest, beating everyone down to the goal to block the ball. So I was quite impressed with him as well. We then had Spring Break which we didn't do alot since the weather didn't cooperate with us, no beach this time.
April started all of the Easter parties at school and egg hunts. Chase and Kori's parties were on the same day so I had to be supermom that day. Kori had her trike-a-thon one day which she did very well and I finally had the kids pictures taken. The last time I went to have them done is when Reef was just 3 months old. Yeah I know bad mom- but I went a couple of weeks ago. Our appt. was at 10 in the morning and we were out of there by 10:15. My kids did awesome, they listen to everything the photographer told them and smiled perfectly. Now I just have to decide on which pics to get b/c literally they all came out great. We had Kori's kindergarten round up last night and went and met the teachers got her registered and got her school supply list and all the rules. She is somewhat excited and somewhat scared about leaving her old school and starting a new one but I know that she will be fine. Chase has 2 loose teeth!!!!! Of course they became loose when he hit them on Kori's head. He is very worried about them(he is my child that doesn't do well with change) he doesn't want loose teeth, he won't pull them out, he will let us look at them for just a second, won't show them to anyone, and there have been alot of tears over kids making fun of him for having loose teeth. We made molds of plaster teeth to keep our teeth in for the tooth fairy so he is coming around to the idea of losing his teeth. So that about rounds up the past 3 months. We have our yearly lectureship coming up next weekend which is going to be great. I am very excited about it. Oh yeah and tomorrow is my 30th birthday!!!! I can't believe it that I will be 30. We went out to eat with friends last night and had a very nice time. Here are some pics of the past 3 months so enjoy!!!
