The 1st week of February

Another week has come and gone. Time seems to go by so fast. This last week we were able to attend the baby blessing of Marcus and Stephanie Christensen's baby girls Anika. We had a breakfast afterwards with family and then headed home for a nice quite afternoon with the kids. That evening we went over to Candy Grandma's house to celebrate Kayl's birthday. I can't believe that he is turning 17. Next year he will be old enough to serve a mission. It is so crazy to think about. We had a great evening with Tyce's extended family playing games and talking. Our favorite game to play right now is Reverse Charades. It's where you have two teams that take turns. One person on the team is guessing while the rest of the team members are acting it out without talking. It can get really funny.

The rest of the week was pretty much a regular week. I just started teaching piano lessons on Monday's and Wednesday's. I'm teaching Lindsi and Lacie England and Kayla VanOrden. They have all been in my activity day group and I love them dearly.

Rhev has still been going to preschool on Tuesday's, Wednesday's and Thursdays. He loves every minute of it. He is doing so well and I really think it's helping him settle down a little bit. He wakes up every school day, gets dressed, makes his bed, and then comes and gives me a kiss. He just gets so excited to go. Thursday this week we had a snow day, but I didn't realize it until we had already driven to school. He was really bummed out so instead we went over to Luke Grandma's to play for a little bit and that made it all better.  Lately Rhev has really taken an interest into drawing. He loves to draw out plans and then build what he planned out. All week he has been creating mail machines, costumes for baby puppy.

Trayvn spends most of his time following his older brother. You can pretty much guarantee that if you find Rhev, you will find Trayvn. He copies everything he does. Trayvn has even now found a "baby puppy" just like Rhev. He carries is around everywhere, just like Rhev. I really hope someday that Rhev will understand just how much his little brother looks up to him and that he will learn to be  good example for him.

Maylie is still just as cute as ever. She brings us smiles everyday! She is still so tiny and the spitting up is not improving, but she is still just so happy and lovable all the time. She has brought so much joy with her and we are all grateful to have her in our family.
