Cram

Clearly I'm a bit of a slacker when it comes to updating this blog.  Every minute of my day is generally filled to overflowing with cooking, cleaning, teaching, going, parenting that there's rarely enough time to type a post that makes sense.  My extra free minutes are selfishly spent on reading and catching up on Netflix.  But not today!!  Today is the day that I get up to date!!

So I'm cramming in the end of 2016 with a bulleted list...
and be ready for a myriad of pictures.

November 2016:

  • The kids and I went to the ASU Museum for the Mr. Rogers Invention exhibit and had a blast! 
  • We went home for Thanksgiving and was able to spend much needed time with our SC family & friends.
  • The kids and I visited our favorite playground at Craighead Park where we fed the ducks and enjoyed the last of the warm weather.
  • Bobby put the toddler bed together for Shiloh much to my dismay...























December 2016:
  • We chose to stay home for Christmas break rather than make another trip back to SC.  While it was sad not to see our family & friends there, we did have a nice relaxing break.
  • Hannah & I went on a Tuesday evening to see Rogue One - before the boys!!  Then the next evening Bobby took Sammy & Amos to see it.  They went to a later showing and Amos was exhausted and ready for bed by the time they got home.
  • We bought Sammy a bike for his birthday (in January) but gave it to him early so Bobby could help him learn to ride while he was on break.  It took him all of one day to learn.
  • Shiloh fell in our driveway and completely scraped his forehead and nose.  He was tough though and quickly bounced back.
  • He also learned to take pictures with our iPads.
  • Cold weather FINALLY arrived!!!!!
  • Sammy plays basketball for the homeschool team and they've already had several games.  They've only lost four so far.  In one game, he accidentally got busted in the mouth and I accidentally caught it on camera.  He stopped and cried for a minute but we kept yelling for him to keep going to he got himself together and kept playing.
  • Ronald and Mariah came over for supper and brought a gingerbread village that we had so much fun decorating!
  • Shiloh turned 2 but I'm leaving that because it deserves a separate post.










It was 27* but he was determined to learn.

 Shiloh got a close up of his snuggle bunny.
