Where have we been???

I know that I vowed months ago to not get behind on my blogging once school started. However, I haven't posted a new post since October! Between both of the boys' school activities, the holidays and several months of illness this blog has gotten lost. So I amg oing to attempt again to catch you up...

Ben is in 3rd grade now. He has one month of school left. He turned 9 on March 14th. He is getting taller and looking older every single day. I keep threatening to shrink him if he doesn't stop growing up so quickly! He loves school and his teacher this year. He just finished up his animal project and is ready for his overnight at the zoo!

Joe is in kindergarten. He is 6 years old and is growing like a weed! That boy is going to eat me out of house and home once he's a teenager..who am I kidding...he does that now. He likes school o.k., but would rather be at home with mom or playing legos. His favorite part of school is recess, but only if they can go outside.


The twins are 4!!! Yes, that's right. It seems like just yesterday we brought the two tiny, perfect babies home. Now they are walking, talking, arguing with each other, and getting smarter every day.

Emma (who is older than Jake, if only by 3 minutes) acts like a big sister. She is a mother hen. She is quick to tell everyone what they should/shouldn't be doing and loves to tell me all about what everyone is doing/not doing. She is super tall! She is wearing size 6 pants and 7 shirts. Her hair is getting super long and darker. She loves dogs (especially if they're pink), horses, and anything girly. She loves to help mommy in the kitchen when she is allowed.

Jake is a sweetie. He gives me tons of hugs, kisses, and snuggles every day. I never want him to outgrow that! He loves cars and trains. He likes to watch anything with wheels. He spends time every day looking out the window at all of the cars that go by. He is a back seat driver and loves to ask why you are stopping/going. He can also tell you which direction stores/places that we go regularly are!
