Marina Equestrian Day Continued

The kids absolutely LOVED, LOVED the petting zoo area. There were chickens, goats, rabbits, and ducks to chase around and hold.

Another Calvin and Hobbes Moment

Last night we put the kids in the car and drove to Costco and realized we had forgotten something and put the kids right back into the van with Ross, of course, going right back into his car seat. I heard him say to Annalina "There taking us to another cage, Home." I am sure he was pretending something but I thought it was histerical!! Babe and I have thought Ross was like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes which Babe and I are big fans of the comic. We have ALL the Calvin and Hobbes comics in 3 volumes. One I read a few weeks ago that made me think of Ross was when Calvin made snowmen in a circle with picket signs in their hands protesting rules of his father. It made me think of our dear Ross. We love Ross DEARLY and I know he loves his parents DEARLY but he is an interesting one that is for sure and that makes it all the more fun.

Even More Sun in Fallon!

Gabriel and Annalina planted these seeds while their Daddy was deployed. One day after school they went out to plant. I didn't think anything would come up. What a pessimist for a mother it reminds me of the Kraus book that schools have kids read about planting a seed and no one in his family thinking it would grow but in the end he got a big carrot. The kids really enjoyed watching these Sunflowers grow and how perfect that we were able to see them bloomed before we moved!!

Carson at 4 months old--Monterey, CA

Nope, he is still not rolling over!! Maybe he'll keep with his brothers way of rolling over on the 7's. Ross rolled over at 7 days and Gabriel at 7 weeks maybe he'll be 7 months!!! Actually, he is REALLY close being able to role over from back to front he can roll from his back over enough to put both knees on the floor!! He just needs to pop over the top of him anyway more importantly he is sleeping through the night!!

He Really IS Listening . . . 3 examples!

Today Annalina was trying to do something for Ross and I heard him say very calmly and politely . . . "Annalina thank you for trying to help me but I want to do it myself." WOOOOOOWWWWWWWW, WOOWWWW, HE IS LISTENING and LEARNING!!! YAHHHHH!!!!

Last night as the kids were going to bed Annalina got scared, which is not usual for her, but Ross said very matter of factly a few times "God is with you Anna".

A few days ago Annalina had done something bad to Ross and Ross said "Do to others as you would have them do to you" (I was surprised he said this AND surprised he said it correctly!) Anyway, he said it over and over and over and over again which really ticked off Annalina!!! She looked at him and said "You don't know the half of it!!!" I thought that was histerical!!! Ahh, growing up with siblings!

I Kings 3:11-12

"And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgement; behold, I have done according to they words; lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart."
