Howdy!
Hannah finally turned 5 this month. Now she's looking
forward to starting school at the end of summer. I keep telling her that
I'll go to kindergarten and she can stay home, but she doesn't think
too much of that idea. She's really a big helper at times. Other big
news in this household for the month is that Nicole is just about potty
trained. She decided that she wanted to wear underwear and that was the
beginning of the end. She's not completely there, but hey, the end is in
sight! Now to get Janell trained... :) Speaking of Janell, she's really
moving now. She's got this little army crawl thing going on and she can
get to where she wants to go really quickly (especially if she's not
suppose to be there). She has crawled normally just a bit, but it's
still easier and faster to army crawl instead of getting her belly off
the floor. She has pulled herself to her feet a few times, also, so
she's on the move. She's 7 months now. We've tried some food on her, but
she's not too impressed. She scrunches up her face and does this shiver
thing that's pretty funny. If I keep giving her some, she starts
gagging. So I'm not pushing the food thing. But she does like her sippy
cup. Her bottom two teeth showed up the middle of the month. She's been
an easy teether like the other two.
Rodney had a couple FFA trips. Once to Melstone where he got to
spend the day with Anne; the mechanics team took 2nd. Then they had
their district sales and they qualified for state. So Rodney's got a few
teams headed to state, which is the end of March. We did an overnight
trip to Helena at the beginning of the month. The Ag teachers had their
winter meeting. Then we all got sick afterwards and layed low for a few
days. Glad that doesn't happen too often.
We spent this last weekend up at Kalispell. Rodney got the sheep
sheared and we got to spend some time with family. Alvin and Danica have
some sheep now, so Rodney and Dale went up there Saturday afternoon to
help get those sheared. Paige and Jace spent Friday night at Dale and
Bonnie's and then Beth, Bowdrie and Brooklyn spent Saturday night there.
Girls got lots of cousin time in, but they still weren't ready to
leave. Too bad we needed to stop for gas in Missoula because all 3 were
sleeping.
I better sign off. "Mom, Janell's getting in our stuff!" :)
Have enjoyed these thoughts: We all choose our priority - what we
want or what we need. There is nothing that we have naturally that even
comes close to what we can have spiritually.
'Til next time-
Wow. Photo overload.
