My Faith and Joy… and Boys!

This post was supposed to go up last month, but didn’t for some reason.  So here it is now! 🙂

The kids are always coming up with entertaining ideas.  Here are Susie and Jimmy with their “appetizers” they created with ingredients I had lying around the kitchen.  They put on their own episode of “Chopped” where I was a judge.  I don’t remember who was the winner, but I loved seeing their enthusiasm!

Jimmy takes “plating” his food very seriously:

And speaking of entertaining, Tazie is spending lots of time drawing these days.  She loves the art easel she got for her birthday!

Becky drew Minnie Mouse for her on the chalkboard!

Becky continues to amaze me with her artistic skills:

And Susie spends hours typing out her fiction stories on the computer.  She’s a wonderful author!

I can’t believe the girls got braces today!  I took them in for what I thought was just an expander check-up, and out they came with braces on their front top teeth!  I can’t get over how adorable they look!

Here are the boys with the masterpieces they created in art class!

I’m not sure what Tazie loves more…

…Chick-Fil-A ice cream…

…or her big brother!

Here are some random Tazie moments from April!

Tazie enjoying some books she received for her birthday:

Getting measured like a big kid at the pediatrician’s office:

Talking on the play phone:

She’s getting so grown-up!
