Pics

I always have a hard time figuring out how these picture posts will look until after they're posted, so I'll try my best to narrate before you look at the pics.
Claire likes to play with my piano (so does Ben, but we can never catch him at it long enough to get a picture! Hee hee). She is also very focused when she colors, which I think is cute.
Ben loves to stuff himself in small boxes (just like his mom!) And he's always so silly! He loves to make funny faces.
Last but not least, Josh's Graduation Ceremony, which was really fun! He looks good in a cap and gown. :)

Extra, Extra!!

I don't have much to say today, but in the spirit of keeping up my blogging skills (which are getting rusty!) I thought today was a good day for a post.

Here's a quick family update:

Josh is done with school!!! HOORAY!! He did fabulously, too. He's very smart, and has a quick wit (much quicker than mine, actually). He's taken up golfing a bit here and there, and of course he's good at that too. :) Mostly he's working and spending time with the kidlets.

Claire is our resident Drama Queen. I can tell already that she's going to be a HANDFUL all while she's growing up. However, she's so cute and funny at the same time! She's one smart girl, too- she can sing her ABC's and count to 14. She's pretty good at sharing, which is awesome! Her hair is finally long enough to put pigtails in (hooray!!). She's VERY strong, and VERY flexible- I'm thinking of putting her in dance lessons soon, to give her a good outlet for all of that!

Ben is our resident tornado. He's very smart, too, and picks up on many things that I wouldn't expect a soon-to-be-4-year-old to pick up on. He likes to tell jokes, and every joke is funnier than the last to him, so he has to tell it 15 times in a row! He likes to read the scriptures with me, which I love. He can read "a", "and", and "it", and then I fill in the rest. He reminds me every day that we need to get Scripture Power. We're looking into pre-schools for Ben now.

As for me, I'm still here! Just working away, trying to teach my kidlets as best I can. Working full time can really take everything out of me some days, but I love coming home to my family. The sweetest things in my life happen at home, and I wouldn't trade that for the world!
