Happenings

Things have been moving at a super fast speed.  To catch you up quickly,

I now have a 8, 6 and 2 year old.  :) 

Gabe had his birthday party at a indoor pool!

Using his new bow&arrow.

We had Grandma and neighbor Heidi over to have brunch and watch Big Hero 6 with us.

Gabe. 6.  <3 br="">

Mama with her growing son!

I now make my own deodorant.  And it works great!  I sweat less, I don't stink.  EVER!  Not even in the mornings, before I shower.  It is awesome.  And so easy!  It is 4 ingredients.

1/3 c coconut oil
1/3 c arrow root
2 T baking soda
15-20 Essential oils (I use Purification from Young Living)

I emptied out the SURE deodorant since it so awful for us, doesn't work as well and isn't being used and smooshed my homemade stuff into it this morning.  We will see how that works tomorrow.  :) 

Trev shaved.  He went from this

 

To THIS!  

I successfully through Trever a 40th birthday party 4 days before his actual birthday.

I think that about sums up what we are doing.  We are working on school.  As much as we can.  CC will be done in short 3 weeks!  And school school will be going through the summer.  Math and reading and maybe some writing too.

My CC class on St. Patrick's Day.

  Carson has become a major book warm!  All.the.time.  :)  Don't get me wrong, I am so thankful he got the book bug, but when I ask him to come do something else, I do get a bit of some attitude.  :)

Yes, he is reading like this?!!!

 The boys do a lot of this

This last week, World Series pitcher for the Kansas City Royals, Jeremy Guthrie was in town.  He is from little old Ashland Oregon and went to the big league. Jeremy was my classmate and graduated a year before me from Ashland High School.  He signed a couple of things for us.  It was really fun to see him again. 

Gabe holding the flag out, so Jeremy could sign it.

Happy Spring Time to you! Hope you are doing well.

AlOha!

Brushing the Teethies

Leading up to this picture was Carson, Gabe and myself brushing our teeth.  Finn got the stool, started yelling/grunting and trying to elbow his little self in to be part of the teeth brushing action. 

Although he doesn't use a lot of words, he gets his point across!  :)

I LOVE these guys!
