So, it's been a while.....I know. Life is full of fun and busy times. We have had a great past couple weeks.
Savannah is doing great in School. All A's! She's passed her first two phonogram tests with 100%. She has to learn 70 phonograms. It helps that we are in a carpool so she has someone to walk to the playground with when I drop her off. She loves mommy to do her hair and she loves showing me all her homework. We just ordered some books from Scholastic Book Fair. Only $1 each!
I am doing very well in school. It's a great time for me to remember "Sarah".I get to use my adult mind and write and communicate in adult talk verses the toddler talk I talk all day. I have completed the first two weeks with 100% in everything. I set a goal in my last assignment to get a 4.0 in my Bachelors. Wish me well! I recently finished Breaking Dawn so I could discuss at Book Club. All I can say is I'm glad the sequel is over!! I had to read the book because I read the first three, but I just wasn't impressed with it. It is way too much info for young adults. Sorry sisters for that.!!! I prefer being a human. Poor Bella.
Malin goes to a ground campus class on Wednesday at WIU. He is loving it. He is getting a MBA in International Business......yes he is still in school. He is also a great help to me in my class. He lets me know when I need to stress and when a certain thing is not so important. Thanks babe! I love you. He recently put a WHOLE NEW A/C in our suburban!!! Mister not so acquainted with cars did the impossible!!! He fixed our car! Ofcourse, he had a lot of help from a step by step book and his good friend Rustin Keime, but he did it! I am so proud of him for overcoming one of his weaknesses........he did it so fast too!!!!And he saved us easily $1000. He's a keeper.
Aubrey is loving Preschool. She learned about the letter A her first week. I noticed a big A and a little a written on her wall last week. I asked who did it and Aubrey said, " I learned it at Preschool so I need to write it on my wall!!AHH!! We had a talk about that. She loves to pretend with her sister. She's good for Savannah because she helps her remember that we're "just pretending". Savannah seems to forget that sometimes. She's growing up too fast. We got our Autumn decor down from the attic last week and the girls have had a ball wearing their halloween costumes from last year. Aubrey already know what she wants to be this year.....Cinderella. She loves Princesses!!! She is so sweet and innocent and melts my heart.
Baby Malin is a talker!! He tries to repeat everything I say. His new word is lolo for cereal. He tells me when he "poopoos" and loves to point to all the cars and make the car sound. He has whole list of these things he can say that we often practice rattling off. Dog sound, cat sound, airplane sound, PaPa, Nana(Means Banana, Savannah and Aubrey), coocoo(cookie), Cracker, snake sound(ssssssss), and ofcourse BoBo(bottle) I gotta break him of that. He is still getting adjusted to nursery. And he is just stinking cute............
Here's a few pictures from our trip last week to Thatcher for Rikki's baby shower.I didn't get any pictures of the shower. But she got SO much nice stuff. Drew and Rikki got it made!! I love the baby room. They did a great job on it.
We also got to watch Leisel and Jillian in Spiritline on Friday night. They were flying everywhere and doing backhandsprings and backflips all over the place. They were more entertaining than the football team. Thatcher did win Safford......their biggest rival!! Heck yeah!!!
Ok, sorry, here's the pictures. Little Malin was the life of the party. He was all over the place. He almost ran on the field a few times. We sat down on the grass in comfay chairs so the kids could play.....you should have seen the stadium. It was packed! He especially loved the cheerleaders.
Savannah found a friend to run around with at the game. I never got her name.....they had good time together.
Leisel is behind Malin. The short one in the front.
Jillian is Freshmen and is the cutest one ever! She's a flyer and stunter on the team.
Aubrey loved staying right by mommy. She's a little shy these days. But she's slowing growing out of it.
Savannah found a new love....she loves to eat Bill Johnsons Barbeque ribs with her daddy. You should have seen her!!! She belongs on a commercial promoting barbeque ribs for Big Apple! It was hilarious.
WE also got to take the kiddos on their first four wheeler ride thanks to the Keimes. We went on Sept 5th. We went about 5:00, the weather was perfect. It was so fun!! The kids had fun playing in the dirt too. Probably just as much fun as fourwheeling. The kiddos were too cute. Malin especially loved the brm,brm sound.
Daddy and Malin had a fun ride together.
Can you find Baby Malin??
There he is!!

Porter and Malin. They are a week apart.........so cute together. Malin was copying me(I was standing behind the camera trying to et him to smile and this is what he did. Too cute.
Mommy and Baby Malin . look close.
Every tuesday night we watch Elias and Emma Wilcock. Here's a pic of Elias and Malin playing toys. Silly Malin with his eyes closed. Elias is so squishy. We can't get enough of him!!
Wednesdays I teach piano all day....Home schoolers in the morning and publischoolers in the after noon. Esther watches my kids most of the time...thank goodness. Malin does school at night. So Wednesday's we usually eat out. Thus night we ordered BArro's pizza so mommy could finish her homework. Yum!! Sometimes we have Grandpa Lewis stay the night for Stake meetings. We love having him visit.
Thursday is our veg day. Just school and a few piano lessons. Aubrey goes to preschool on Thursdays and tuesdays too. She LOVES that. Next post is about Preschool!
Friday is date night co-op. This is 30 minutes before we were supposed to leave and everyone was asleep....I almost went on a date by myself....gratefully my husband woke up and took me to the best Elder's Quorum Party Ever?!!:)
Look a likes..... Co-op started two weeks ago and little Devron and Malin are buddies....not to mention that they look so much alike. They are hilarious to watch......they love to wrestle.
