In January every year, they have a tractor/rv/4 wheeler show here at the mall. They just have them in this big field. This is Wesley sitting on one of them. We all like the rv's the best. The boys loved the ones with the bunk beds. Hey, we can all dream right?

Mark went away for one weekend to "youthquake" to be a counselor and I went to my mom & dad's that saturday and spent the night. This was Sunday after church. Violet came over and this is all 3 of them sitting on the couch. My mom was "attempting" to get a "professional" like photo, but she wouldn't listen to me. She just had to learn the hard way :) Wesley was playing his leapster and showing it to Violet.Luke was eating goldfish.That's why his mouth is opened.
 

I love how Wesley is looking at Violet in this picture.He loves showing off to her.

My niece, Violet, came over Monday with my mom & dad. Wesley LOVES Violet. They get along so well. I wish Wesley and Luke got along that well. She calls him "Wesee,Wesee" & she calls Luke "baby Yuke."Here is my dad holding Luke & Violet. It was colder than we thought it was going to be so Violet is wearing Luke's hat.
 

Violet is pretty much potty trained and so Wesley actually wanted her to come in there with him. He usually wants "privacy" whenever he goes in there, but, he wanted her to come in there. I thought, their only 2 & 4 so what the heck! It was so cute. Wesley is making a silly face. He is CONSTANTLY trying to make Violet laugh.

Wesley actually sharing his ice cream bar with Luke. I didn't even ask him to.

They both LOVE corn on the cob. That's all they want to eat when we have it.
 

We made a volcano and this is Wesley after he helped mix what was SUPPOSE to be the outside of it.
 

He LOVED getting dirty!
 

Here is our volcano after it had about enough. It was all volcanoed out! They had fun though. That's all that matters right? I am still periodically finding remnants of it on the floor and walls. Next time, it will definitely be done outside:)

It has been 4-EVER since I have last posted! Sorry Nana:) I guess I just use facebook now,(Tori's fault). I have some new pictures to post so I might as well start, seeing that it will take a while for our SLOW computer to put them on.

Everything around here is going pretty well, despite the fact that Mark is having to do odd jobs here and there to make more $. I am looking into watching kids in our house for some extra $ since I'll be here anyway with Luke until he starts school, I might as well. Wesley still is enjoying school even though he doesn't talk about it much when asked. I can tell he enjoys it though. We signed him up for next year, Pre-k at the same school. He will go 5 days a week at the same time he's going now 9 to 1which isn't bad.

Let me get to posting these pics!

My "attempt" to get a picture for christmas cards but it didn't work. I just gave up and didn't send out cards this year.

Wesley's First Day of School

Well, Wesley had his first day of school Wednesday. He will go 3 days a week Monday,Wednesday,& Friday from 9 to 1. It's at a Methodist church here in town. I was nervous at first because I wasn't sure how he would act when we left him. I was afraid he would cry for a long time. When we got there, he was a little apprehensive at first. He went to the door at one point and said he wanted to leave here. But was soon fine after that and went and sat down at the table with the other kids and did a puzzle. I quickly told him bye and told him I would be back to pick him up in just a little bit. We like both his teachers, Mrs. Maria(Rhea)most of the kids can't pronounce it, and her assistant, Mrs. Laura. His class has 9 kids in it, which I love. The more attention they all can get. When I picked him up he was real excited and said "mommy,mommy." They said he did real good and he didn't cry at all. I was so happy. He really enjoyed it and is looking forward to going tomorrow.

They have canceled some schools in our area because of the "slight chance" of some accumulation of flurries. I told Wesley if they canceled, then he wouldn't be able to go to school. He then said, "I'm so mad that they cancelled some of the schools." Mark and I just started laughing.

We are just taking this school thing one step at a time. We really don't want our boys to go to public schools and feel very strongly about that. However,once in kindergarten, it would be really expensive to go to a christian school, like $3000 to $4000 a year per child. We have talked about and considered homeschooling but haven't decided yet. I guess we'll just have to take it one day at a time.
