Caleb: Does Jesus have a beard?

Me: Well, Jesus is a man, so he could have a beard.

Caleb: Well, I prayed to have a beard...

Me: Oh! Well, you have to be a certain age before you can grow a beard. I don't even know if Talmage is old enough to grow a full beard.

I guess he was sad that he couldn't grow a beard, even after praying for one! lol

We invited some of Conner and Isaac's school friends over tonight and had so much fun!

September 21, 2022

4 days a week its just the girls during the day. Emma and I like to go out to lunch together sometimes!

September 22, 2022

The Comal County Fair is this weekend, which means it's Cow boy/girl day at school! It was too hot for pants, so our little cowboy wore shorts! lol. And of course, since Caleb was being a cowboy, Emma wanted to be a cowgirl!

September 27, 2022

Caleb hasn't worn his new-to-him jacket yet and today was a little chilly. So he went and put it on. He came over to me and said, "Look Mom! It even keeps my eyes warm!"

Tonight was Back to School night at the elementary school. Conner and Isaac got to show us around their new classrooms. This is an opportunity for parents to see the school, meet the teachers and staff and see what the kids have been doing in their first few weeks of school.

Isaac's Self Portrait: 

All the 1st graders made a self portrait, and at Back to School night, the parents got to play "guess who" and try to find their child's drawing of themselves.

Our school does a 100 book club. Conner was the first one to complete 100 books this school year!

The kids really wanted silly string so we headed to the dollar store. 

The silly string made Emma silly

August 7, 2022

This morning Caleb got dressed and everything was backwards. He normally puts his clothes on the right way, so this was pretty comical!

August 17, 2022

Summer is coming to an end, so we have to do our favorite things one last time!

August 18, 2022

Today we went to the pool!

Isaac saved up his money to buy what he calls his "norwal" aka face mask snorkel!

I found out McDonalds is giving out Pokemon Cards in their kids meals, so I we got McDonald's for lunch. The kids LOVED it!

That night was meet the teacher. I took Conner and Isaac and Ammon stayed home with the little kids.

After we had met both of their teachers, Ammon came and picked them up so that I could work a PTA table for the 2nd half of Meet the Teacher night.

Ammon asked the kids what they wanted for dinner and they whispered for a minute between them, and then said they wanted McDonald's for dinner. Ammon knew they had gone to McDonald's for lunch, but the kids didn't know that Ammon knew. Ammon said yes, so he took them to McDonalds. On their way home Conner and Isaac started laughing and told Ammon "we tricked you! We had McDonald's for lunch today too!" Ammon acted surprised! lol

August 22, 2022

Ammon made homemade pizzas with the kids tonight! They loved it!

August 23, 2022

Today Conner and Isaac started school!

August 25, 2022

Today I taught Emma how to play Paw Patrol nintendo!

Emma is a silly girl!

August 29, 2022

It's finally Caleb's turn for his first day of school! He is going to the same preschool he went to last year, but will be in a transitional kindergarten class.

When all the big kids go to school, I take the ones not in school for a donut!

After school, we played on the school's playground for a bit

It is always SO SO SO hot and humid on the 4th of July. Like unbearably humid and hot. This year I didn't want to spend 3+ hours outside for fireworks.  

We invited our friends over for a BBQ and then did some ground fireworks in our backyard. 

July 6, 2022

Our home is a 4 bedroom home, but only has 1 living space. For a while we had the four bedrooms as: master bedroom, play room, office (and craft and guest) room, and all 4 kids in one room. Then we decided to move Conner and Isaac to the guest bedroom, so that we only had 2 kids in each room. One night, after being put to bed, Isaac came down and said he didn't want to sleep with Conner anymore. I somewhat jokingly said, "The only other place you can sleep in is under the stairs." to which Isaac said, "Ok!" We moved all the toys out and put a toddler size mattress in there, and it has become his bedroom. It's actually worked out really well! One night he "decorated" his door as he was going to bed.

July 10, 2022

After putting the kids to bed, Ammon and I were watching tv in the family room. We watched out of the corner of our eyes as Emma laid down on her tummy and slid down the stairs. Then she covered her eyes and slowly and quietly walked over towards us. Which of course, since she couldn't see us, meant that we couldn't see her sneaking out of bed. Unfortunately for her, Daddy still discovered her out of bed! It was so cute and funny!

Family Vacation!

We traveled to Arizona to my sister's house! My parents came too!

July 18,  2022

Grandpa and Grandma Eggett took us to Great Wolf Lodge! It was so much fun! We loved how the deepest pools were only 4ft deep, it made us so much more comfortable with our kids in the pools!

July 21, 2022

Next we went to my Aunt & Uncle's cabin in the Arizona mountains! It was beautiful, and the cabin was amazing! It had a long zipline that we loved going on!

July 22, 2022

Grandma had some fun activities planned like water guns and pool noodle sword fight! We of course did more zip lining! And we went to the Rodeo that night. Poor Caleb got sick and threw up at the Rodeo, so Ammon and Caleb missed most of it. Luckily, after that he was fine and not sick anymore.

The kids went out and did a race to catch a chicken. None of my kids caught a chicken, and Emma was very sad about it!

July 23, 2022

Today we went to a lake and played in the water. We also played board games at the cabin. Unfortunately, today (the day before we go home), both Conner and Isaac started throwing up. Unlike Caleb (one and done throwing up), they threw up multiple times. We were worried about our 14 hour drive home the next day. But they slept through the night and did great in the van.

It was so much fun to spend time with our Cousins, Aunts & Uncles, Grandpa & Grandma and my Aunt & Uncle (at their cabin).

Emma tip toes downstairs when she is supposed to be in bed. When she gets over to me I tell her she needs to go to bed. She says, "but I need to tell you sumping."

Me: What do you need to tell me?

Emma: Are you playing blocks? (aka sudoku)

Me: That isn't telling me something, that is asking a question.

Emma: Oh.

Me: Did you want to tellme something?

Emma: (lots of pauses as she tries to make something up) Umm.....one day......I said.....You're my Momma.

Me: Thank you, I am so glad you know I'm your Momma. Now go to bed.

Emma: Okay.

And she goes up to bed.
