Crazy BoyZ


Just Anne and I testing out the new lips. She is so flippin cute.

Max showin us his pearly whites!


Oh Dear, i really dont know why i feel the need to show such cooky pics of me. Probably because this day I was watching my nephews and their cousin Max, which is my sister in laws twin Sara.







We had lots of fun playing hide-&-go-seek, tag, puzzles,


shoe sucking by brody, that didnt last very long though.
















Little B

Sweeter



Im tellin you, i am one of those weird dog people that thinks he's my baby. And guess what? I dont care. He gives me back enough love to make up for my silliness.










This one cracks me up, do you know what he is doing?

Smiling Silly! He knows lots of commands now and the newest? smile!

Christmas with the Turley's

This is "littleTanner Boy" Sean's nick name for him. He seems pretty excited about the gift we got him. Kids cant really fake if they like a gift or not very well, it shows.

I think this is Sean and I's favorite thing to see Tanner do, I love seeing him play with his toys on his belly. He is so sweet and getting so old. Cant believe the baby is 5!

Well I think this wasnt the most exciting gift to get as a 9 yr old. When Sean and I come over to play with him i think he will enjoy his gift a bit more. Love you Rylle, and next time we play 4 square we'll play a little more fair, I'll take my heels off and we will have a real game!

This is Newel- or Papa to the rest of us. I hope he enjoys the jerky. WE love you Newel and are thankful for your patience with all the rukus the kids give you!

I wonder what Sean was so happy about? Maybe he thought he was gunna make it out of their with cash. Nopers, something better, BOXERS. Man does he love getting socks and boxers for Christmas, I can never go wrong.


Cecilia and Heather these two fabulous women and probably 2 of the most kindest- real- ladies I have ever known. I am thankful to have such great sister in laws in my life. Heather made the BOMBEST, cinnimon rolls that unfortunatly Sean only got 2 out of 6 and I had the other 4, I have a mouth full of sweet teeth. I had the root canals to prove it. TMI sorry.




Teri and Sean- ok come on Sean none of the pics i took came out with you not making a funny face. You probably crack Teri up way to often. Cute couple huh? Love you guys!



Sean and his momma Bev- she always has little hordourves ready for all of us on Christmas. We are lucky to have a mom that takes care of things and us kids really dont have to worry about too many details.

Christmas with the Kocherhans!!

This Christmas was pretty great i thought.
Sean and I really enjoy shopping at Christmas for our niece and nephews.





I love this little man, he cracks me up thats for sure. He has the sweetest voice ever. He misses Nessa's Kitties too!



Not so little anymore Anne, loves her growing puppy names Whitey.




This is my little B, ever since he was born he reminds me of Ben, and so I started to call Brody B, because it fits a baby more than it does my 29 year old brother.





Us girlies, not sure where mom is in the pic, I dont think she ran fast enough!








Oh Little B- isnt too sure of this big man with long hair.


So Mom called this picture-

Mama's Boys!
pretty funny.









Daddy's Girls, I sure am thankful to have a father this christmas season. I do feel blessed to have a father that is apart of our lives. Now a days, fathers that stay in their childrens lives because they love you are hard to come by. Love UDad!

Guess who forsaw what is happening with our country, and our leaders ignored him.

This info came back from 2002. Why on earth did people think someone that was giving us a warning was so wrong. I hope this man runs for president in 4 years. Interesting info.

Dyslexia- Dys means trouble with, and lexia means words. Trouble with Words is what Dyslexia means!

Hey Everyone, I have updated some pretty hefty info to the right which is Susan Barton the creator of the Barton Reading and Spelling System. Susan shares a lot of info on Dyslexia. I feel so very passionate about dyslexia and if you catch the warning signs of it early on as early as when your child starts to talk that you can prevent a hard time with learning in school.

My biggest beef with anyone with a learning disability is treating it as if the person or child will grow out of it, or it will just go away. No NO NO-- you are only making the situation worse by avoiding the warning signs or just plain being in denial.

Speech delays are my biggest and easiest form of telling if a child will struggle in school. Children with dyslexia usually don't start to speak until they are 2 and sometimes even older. Delayed speech doesn't always mean dyslexia, but a speech delay should always be investigated. It is often the 1st sign that language development isn't occurring as it should. Please parents take the progressing of your child's development more serious then just a shrug of the shoulders.

Here are symptoms in preschoolers:

  1. Delayed Speech
  2. Mixing up sounds in syllables- ie, basgetti, aminal
  3. Chronic ear infections and severe reactions to childhood illnesses
  4. constant confusion of left versus right
  5. difficulty learning how to tie shoes
  6. trouble memorizing address, phone number, or alphabet
  7. inability to create simple rhymes at age of 4 to 4 & a half

If your child has only one symptom don't worry too much, but the biggest warning sign is a close relative with dyslexia, it is inherited.

Love you hope this info empowers you!

Hmmmm-

Well the outcome of Havik was most certainly not the way I had imaged him, so oh well.
This was our first time handing out candy in a house. Not as many kids out then I expected. Definately Sean and I's favorite came with two fairy sister's so cute with wings, and a little little boy he had to of been 2 or three, and when they said trick or treat this little boy said, " I am alergic to peanut butter" That little boy had the sweetest smallest voice . Sean and I started to laugh it was so cute, he got an extra handful because that was so cute. I'm sure his mom standing on the curb had reminded him to tell people he was alergic to peanuts because she started to giggle when she heard us laughing. So darn cute, we still have left overs too! yes- i love starburst!


Hmmmm i wonder what you guys are gunna think Havik was supposed to be for Halloween. It didnt
