For the third year in a row, Logan has requested to have his birthday party at the Super Jump Zone. This year was a clone wars theme. It was great time as usual, thanks to all who came and wished him a wonderful day!

Logan's birthday circle 2010

Hard to believe, but this is Logan's last year of Preschool! He will be 5 years old in less than a week and with Spring Break happening next week, we celebrated his birthday at school today. The kids do a routine of holding the earth and walking around the sun to symbolize each year of life. Then they talk about what they were like that year and so on until it is time to sing happy birthday and blow out the sun! Mrs. Adams asked Logan what he was looking forward to doing when he was five and he replied "better flips". He wants to be good at doing flips on the trampoline, OK let's pray for no broken body parts!
He passed out the ice-cream cone cupcakes he insisted on making- they are a pain to travel with! He helped frost and put on the sprinkles himself and was so proud. Then I clone wars tattoo on each of his classmates. He has a great time, birthday party one-check, only two more to go!

March Madness 2010

Wow, it is hard to believe March is almost over! I have barely had time to come up for air, so the blog has been neglected along with everything else! March has been really busy so I will just hit some of the hightlights:
- Avery continues to grow like a weed, she is talking a lot now and is amazingly clear! Just last night she said "Logan brush teeth, NOW" no idea where she gets the "now" from :0)
-Logan will turn 5 this month! He is such a loving and amazing little boy with quite the imagination.
-Kendall finished basketball and her and Logan both will be starting T-ball (sigh), not sure if I will survive all the sports.
-Angel has spent two weeks now at the school for the deaf in Washington. We have had a few bumps along the way, but he really enjoys it!
-Both Kendall and Logan had conferences at school and are doing great!
-Austin was out of town for 4 days at the APWA conference, that's AKA-Golf and bill the office!
-I managed to show off my wonderful driving skills by hitting a parked car!
-We surprisingly sold the land, so the dream of building a custom home is gone, but so is the land payment!
-I officially resigned to the school district and won't be working next year! Yes, I did this last school year and foolishly agreed to work in June when a principal called, but I have learned my lesson and promise to at least try the stay at home gig for a year!
-Marilyn continues to mend after her back surgery and is greatly missed at bowling on Thursdays.
-We said good-bye to Grandpa Charlie's and Carol's chocolate Lab-Hershey :0(
Really--all this has happened and the month is not officially over, but it is the start of Spring Beak, Yipppppeeeee!

Valentine's....oh my

What a crazy busy last week! The kids spent time carefully writing out all their valentines. We made 6 dozen cookies and a batch of brownie bites for the big school parties on Friday. I spent time with Joan and Connie Thursday night at the casino celebrating Connie's 60th Birthday! Saturday we had planned to take the kids bowling and they were sooo excited to find the bowling alley had a tournament going on and no lanes available. Instead we headed to my least favorite place, but we needed to eat- Chuck E Cheese. The kids had a great time, Austin and I were a little stressed with kids in all directions. Sunday was Valentine's Day! Austin and I treated ourselves to Indian Food- thanks to casino winnings. The kids picked bagel bites and chicken nuggets for dinner! They had valentine's from us waiting in the morning and then Grandparents stopped by bearing more gifts. Monday Austin was back to work and I was out numbered at home. Kendall started running a fever and off to Woodcreek she went- unspecified virus. The boys have been loving the Wii. Tuesday was time to enjoy the sunshine. The kids played a ton outside and we even went for a walk at the park, I walked, kids skateboarded and scootered. Wednesday means they will be back to school and thankfully for me I have the whole week off since I only work Mondays and Tuesdays-Hallelujah!

Meet Angel

Hi everyone!
Seems like forever since I posted as so much has been happening! I want to introduce you to Angel. He is 10 years old and Deaf.

He will be staying with us for awhile...... meaning we don't know how long, but we are happy to have him. It has been an adjustment for everyone, but thankfully a good adjustment! He is very sweet and fitting right in with the Fisher 5, so I guess until further notice we will be the Fisher 6 :0)

cup stacking

Kendall's cups finally arrived and she has been stacking non-stop! For those who don't know cup stacking is a sport and one that they work on in PE class. It is good for hand eye coordination. They start with 3 cups and work their way up and everything is timed. Pretty amazing how fast they get at it!
