well, I've been keeping up (more or less) with Asher pictures, due to popular demand, but I haven't done too much for the other kids, so, here's a few pictures to showcase the last month for everyone else :)
 |
| primary kickball at the church kids vs. bishopric |
 |
| attitude welcome |
 |
run, get that ball!
sorry for the bad pictures, the kids kept moving... |
 |
| Asher was dressed for the game too, red tennis and a sporty burp cloth. |
 |
| one random teacher-in-service day we went to the park with some friends. |
 |
| Afton loves holding the baby too, but she has the least patience, so she frequently will burp him over her leg and be done for a while. he loves it (though it doesn't look like it in this pic...) |
 |
| FHE activity/lesson, learning to shine our shoes :) |
 |
| and Afton was finally able to change her earrings... green! |
 |
| the boys like to play cars together... the boppy doubles as a headrest for Asher and a road for Chi |
 |
have I ever mentioned that one of the things we were most excited about with this house is a real fireplace?
we ordered a half cord, and stacked it one Saturday morning. We warmed up pretty quick! |
 |
| I couldn't pick just one picture... I liked them both :) |
 |
| everybody really loves baby! |
This series might not mean a lot to those that don't know Malachi well, but he absolutely HATES getting his hair cut... which is why every 6 months or so over the last few years you may have heard a faint echo of screaming from our direction... well, I gotta say, it comes in super-handy to have a psychologist for a husband! I finally, jokingly, said to Paul a couple weeks ago something about if he wanted to do me a favor he could convince Chi to get a haircut... and this is what happened:
Chi had 'homework' for a week or so every night with the girls (they did their reading and math stuff), his job was to hold the buzzer. just hold it. then they held it while it was turned on... etc, until one night he said he wanted to try it on his hair!
 |
ta-da!
(note, he's even smiling!!!) |
 |
| and when he started to get nervous, instead of letting him cry or scream, he got to try it on Daddy's hair! |
 |
| or just hold it on his hand and remember it doesn't hurt. |
me: *SIGH*
 |
| speaking of homework, Rayna's reading is coming along AMAZINGLY, feel free to compliment her if you talk to her on the phone... she was rather hesitant, and not too excited, but she's doing really, really well! |
 |
Chi wasn't sleepy, but he was willing to keep quiet for a minute for a picture...
and it's the only one I have of his haircut so far |
we're accomplishing things here folks! and we feel good doing it :)

It is so cute seeing your kids interact with Asher. Nice lesson on shining shoes :) H is TERRIFIED of getting his haircut. But I don't think he would understand the 'homework' idea yet. Although, the idea is GENIUS and we will definitely be trying it when he is a bit older if he is still screaming.
love the idea for polishing shoes for fhe. except we never have any shoe polish...
Love the haircut idea - super progress! I think we need the shoe polishing lesson here too. I was noticing Grandpa's shoes need it last week... Love the attitude and the reading! Sweet kids!
