Daily Life–Adam

Adam.  Oh, Adam.  Full of life and energy.  When we lived in Utah, not a Sunday went by that someone from Primary didn’t tell me how much they loved him or how fun he was.  From the first week we got to Texas, I’ve heard the same thing.  He is funny and precocious, and just fun to be around!  He’s also super sweet.  Like borderline annoying and sappy except that he’s being completely genuine!

The biggest deal in Adam’s life right now, is soccer.  This is his first season playing and he’s loving it!

His team, The Cobras!
I thought it was so cute how all the little boys have the same hair color.  Adam is #4 on the end.

We’ve had beautiful weather the past few days and the kids love to go out in the back and play soccer together.DSCN6796


He loves playing with his little siblings!  He and Abby have their fair share of fighting, but when they do play nicely, they have a blast together!  And they think Caleb is absolutely hilarious!

Although we haven’t been doing formal reading lessons since we moved (I need to get on that, he loves it!), he’s been working on lessons from ReadingEggs.com and it’s all obviously working because HE CAN READ!!  Really well!  I’m amazed at least once a day about something he reads on TV, in a book, outside, etc.  I’ve only taught him the very basics and his little mind has just naturally grasped it and moved on without me! 

Here’s a video I took several weeks ago of him reading one of his books from Reading Eggs.  He read this once on his own and then called me over and asked me to film him.

Daily Life–Abby

Abby is a darn cute 3 year old!  I love her little voice and the funny things she says.  She’s funny and sweet one minute, and screaming the next.  Typical girl, I suppose!

She has started to really like to color and will spend a lot of time quietly focusing.

She loves to play with her baby brother!  A little too much sometimes.  I’m constantly telling her to be gentle with him!

Full House and (Potty Training)
The kids have discovered the joys of Full House.  They think Michelle is absolutely hilarious and if they aren’t watching it, they are playing it.  Abby is Michelle and Adam is Steve….naturally.  Steve is DJ’s boyfriend by the way.

She loves her stuffed animal friends!  Her entire bed used to be covered in them, with just a tiny space for her head, but we’ve now limited it to 5 at a time.  She loves to bring them down and set up a snuggle spot on the couch.
