She started Kindergarten August 31st, 2017 and was SOOOO ready. She was so excited for the whole summer to go to school. she loved everything to do with Pre-K. So I knew she was more than ready to attend Kindergarten and definitely no thought in my mind to hold her back. She is always eager to learn even when she is at home. I bought her a work book to work at home and she absolutely loves writing in it. Also, after school everyday she does what she calls "homework" (her teacher doesn't give homework) but she writes her letters and numbers all the time. She can write every single letter, and numbers. And she likes to copy books and write the sentences. She is the most picky eater out of my kids and it is a challenge to get her to even try a bite of something new. But she knows what she likes. She loves spaghetti, pizza, pb & j sandwiches, everything sweet. If I make something new she will immediately turn it away.
She loves to be bossy to me and her siblings. She is such an early riser but she's done for the day by 6pm easily. School tires her out. She loves to play with beads. playdoh. she has 4 friends in her class. she loves to go to lunch and play with her other friends in the other classes. I was told she isn't afraid to talk and play with the big kids and easily makes friends.
She is quite sassy and opinionated. My little pony, her favorite movie was trolls for the longest time but right now I'm not to sure what it is to be honest. She loves everything to do with holidays... but what kid doesn't. She wants to be spooky. So for Halloween she will be a vampire.
Her favorite color is Purple. She loves playing soccer. I decided to not put her in any other sport after school... I didn't want to tire her out. So she plays soccer every Saturday morning and she made a few goals... wasn't exactly humble about it but she was pretty proud of herself. She is definitely a competitor like her dad and loves to win.
I am so proud of her and how much she is learning and how well she is with helping me. I can go have a shower and have her "watch" Liam easily. She is such a wonderful big sister. Sometimes I am surprised that she is only 5 with things she can do.
She is 3 1/2 and full of spunk. She started preschool and at first I thought she would have a hard time adjusting and wanting to leave me... She's kind of a mommas girl for sure. But she went right in and said she had the best time. She loves playing at the park she loves painting and her favorite part there is the snacks. Each kid brings a snack so its fun to get a new snack each time. She goes Monday and Wednesday in the afternoon. She is very short tempered and you have to be so careful not to set her off. The smallest thing will make her go in a tantrum and not much can stop it. Distracting her seems to be the best bet. She is not picky and will eat anything and everything we are having it and not much she doesn't like. I even got her to like broccoli and she loves it. She loves enchiladas. She is obsessed with everything drinks. but her favorite is apple juice she will drink it all day if id let her. She loves watching youtube on my tablet and its the most obnoxious thing in the world. She really likes Spider-Man. She also can be the sweetest girl and loves to help me with Liam and be there for him when he is sad or sick.
Her favorite color is Blue.
She loves to talk and very observant with where things are. If we go a certain way driving she can point and say something is that way and be totally right. I got a new shark sweeper vacuum (which I love) you just have to charge it and its so light.. Raylee is obsessed with vacuuming.. my floors have never been so clean. haha
She loves gymnastics. She had a hard time waiting her turn and listening at first but I think she really enjoys it and has helped with her listening skills... I'm sure school is doing that as well.
She almost goes on spurts of being obsessed with things and shows and has to watch it and nothing else. It as been Scooby doo. Transylvania. moana. Boss baby but mostly stupid youtube. But her all time favorite show has to be some train show called Tayo.
Liam Thomas
17 Months!
17 Months!
He has been walking for a little over a month. He took a few steps a week before he turned 16 months and from there it just took off. He is super fast, everywhere and loves getting into things his sticky little fingers can get ahold of. His first word he learned was BALL at 14 months. He likes to say bubbles, hi and uh oh. Has such a good throwing arm. & loves to throw his play soccer and basketball. He likes saying "hi" and put the phone to his ear. Gives good kisses and his kisses are actually closed mouth and says MUAH. Also gives cute blowing kisses. He loves Apple juice. pizza. anything noodles. bananas but it can't be cut up... it has to be the whole banana. gram crackers. fruit snacks. goldfish. He loves all snacks but getting him to eat meals is a really hard thing to do. He likes to walk around while he's eating... if he is in a highchair.. he will throw his food.
He takes amazing naps. he's such a sweetheart and loves to hug and just has such a gentle touch to him. He is such a happy chill baby and always has been. But also is turning into a little punk and likes to hit his sisters. Probably just getting them back. He loves to dance. will dance every time music comes on.
Not a fan of the vacuum but always wants to steal my broom and my Swiffer.
So cute but he has started to push around cars and trying to sound like a car.
He seems to like me and dad the same, but probably dad a tad bit more. Loves to join in the fun with his sister's. Loves to bug them as well. Lately has been throwing little fits. but they're cute... for now.

Joey & I
I have been doing soooo good with meal planning each week for the past 2 weeks.. thanks to Walmart grocery. I started off by planning for the next week and then making my orders and then picking it up that week. But lately I've been planning for the next 2 weeks and picking it up that week. It has been great. Joey is usually asleep by 6 so we've been having dinner around 5-5:30. I have been slacking a little at the gym but I plan on going back strong. I've just been loving when Alleah is at school I get a lot done and then when she's home we spend time together. I used to love the gym so I need to get back. It made me feel so much better than I've been sulking or feeling down lately about some things that I just don't need to. The gym used to help me feel confident and forget all the negativity in the world. I'm the kind of person to just like to be in my bubble and getting out there is hard for me.. but I've been trying harder.
Joey, well... He works a lot. but he's home usually before 11 am and then goes to sleep around 6pm. so I see him a lot. That part is nice. He has been playing on a hockey league the past few I want to say leagues? haha. I want to say 4. They've ranged around 6 weeks in length...he started in August and this time around he paid for a 12 week one. He loves it. He plays at night. Last one I want to say was 8 weeks long his team got to the finals and won. I've seen him play a few times and he's actually getting really good. His last 2 games he told me he scored 3 goals in each game for his team. Its super good for him. I'm glad he found a hobby he loves doing that's active and doesn't involve video games hahaha. He also got injured pretty bad and had to take some sick days from work which I was not super happy about because he has to work. But he loves it.
We... Have decided to start getting our house ready to sell. Which I am STOKED about. New things going to happen for this family. Sadly we decided to sell our dog in the process tho. We are all bummed. But I hope to find her a good home and family.
Nothing really else exciting and new is happening. But I feel super blessed Joey has been at his job for a year and a half and its been nothing but amazing. He is home so much more and its been great. Got to fix up our yard real nice and going to start fixing up little things to get this house on the market hopefully by March/April. :)
