My Little Bookworm

I hadn't seen Carter in awhile this afternoon and he was fairly quiet. Usually this might cause some concern, but since I knew where Caden was, I wasn't too worried! When Carter gets quiet this is his new thing... I was pretty sure what he was up to so I grabbed the camera and this is what I found:)

He will climb up in the rocker and sit there for 30 minutes just reading. He will get quite the workout going up and down to get more books. This kid loves to read! I love it!

Tag You're It!

I've been tagged by Hilary. I have been waiting for someone to tag me because I have been reading these all day:).

Here's how to play: Post the rules on your blog and complete the following: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, and 3 random, surprising facts about yourself. At the end of your post tag five people and let them know they are tagged by leaving them a comment on their blog- Have fun.

3 Joys:
1. Knowing that no matter how much I disappoint God, I can never lose my salvation!
2. My family - parents, in-laws, sister, husband, and children...I love you all!
3. Being a stay at home mom - I love my job!

3 Fears:
1. Messing up in raising my kids
2. Having to live without Cory
3. Definitely Spiders

3Goals:
This is hard because I am not really goal oriented so must of these are short term from my planner:)
1. Getting the boys' rooms organized before Cole's arrival
2. Clearing out all my old Premier stuff and selling off the jewelry I don't want.
3. Making sure Cory gets the boys' bathroom done :)

3 Obsessions/Collections:
These should be no surprise here :)
1. Having things organized
2. Making lists
3. Schedules

3 Random/Surprising Fact About Me:
1. I could waste away watching Food Network, but I don't really like to cook.
2. I love to read, but only one author at a time...I get fixated on one and read all they wrote.
3. I am pretty lazy...I could stay in bed or on the couch all day, not just because I am pregnant!


Most of my friends have been tagged already so that leaves
1. Ed - because he needs to do it for us youngins :)
2. Chris - because I know he hates these things
3. Devin - I count her as a friend that none of my friends here know :) Wish we could live in the same town - we are long lost buds I just know it :)

First Day v. Last Day...

Just a little comparison...do you think he has grown up over the last year of school?

Awards Presentation

Caden had his awards program Monday and I must brag just a tad and say he did so well! He got a total of 5 awards! The one we are most proud of is the Letter and Number Excellence Award. He was the only one in his class who could say all his numbers, letters, and their sounds! He has learned so much this year!

Giving Daddy a little kiss at our celebration lunch!

Tool Belt Anyone

Here is Caden's idea of a tool belt...any donations for a real one will be greatly appreciated!

Caden had gotten very muddy and came in to shower. It was pretty warm, so I just let them run around the house in the underwear and diapers. Let's just say Cory was glad none of his tools were inside this toolbelt!

Belated Mother's Day

Here is a picture of my mother's day card from Cory...it says it all!

Finally...

With Caden we took a pic every month starting at 3 months...Carter we were a little behind and started around 4 months. For poor Cole, Cory acted like it wasn't even a big deal. So finally I got him to snap one last night! It isn't the best but better than nothing right!

Here is Baby Cole growing well...5 months along!

Update from Albania

I am not sure how many of you check the links on the side for Cory's sister and her family. But I really wanted to share this post I found today. They don't get to update all that often, technology is a little slow sometimes, but they did update recently. Please go to this link and pray for this family and for Kaci and Ryan. Thanks!
