Faith loves to eat. I think she is the best eater out of all the kids when they were this age. She will eat anything tomatoes, brocolli, salad, any meat, the only thing she will not eat is greenbeans. This morning Josh is off from work so he made us eggs and turkey sausage patties. She really didnt want to eat the egg but she loved to dip the sausage in the egg. As you can see she has her mouth full.
Well we did Brandon and Bens student lead conferences. Bens Monday, Brandons Tuesday. They were fun. I liked learning what they do all day from them. And seeing the excitement in their eyes. Brandon loves school so much. He has not missed any days so far this year and he is really proud of that. He is in a category of just a few. With the flu going around so bad this year. Hopefully he can finish the year like that. We already got them signed up for summer school and again such excitement from them both. Ben because he will actually get to ride the bus with Brandon. Only to summer school though. Otherwise we are considered walkers. Brandon because he gets to pick special classes to be in. We picked science experiments, and internet treasure hunt, survivor math, checkmate and weightlifting for the mind. I told him he was also signed up for cheerleading (hehe, he didnt think that was funny). Which I didnt sign him up for. Anyways tonight we get to go to the news station Fox 4. We may end up on tv we arent for sure yet. But we might.

I wonder if the kids will have school next week? I cannot believe how many days they have missed this year. I think we are now on seven days. Parent teacher conferences are next week. Bens is Monday, Brandons is Tuesday, Wednesday me and Brandon get to go to fox 4 news and meet Mike Thompson with boyscouts. Josh was suppose to go but he has school that night. My mom is going to be overwhelmed by kids. I need her to babysit all three nights.
Yesterday was Josh's birthday. We had a nice relaxing day for him. We all waited on him. We took him to breakfast, I made him a homemade cherry pie (his favorite dessert) and some homemade chicken enchiladas. He was gone all last week to Oklahoma for training so it was nice he actually got to be home for his birthday.
We are so ready for a warm-up. The kids have been so stir crazy lately and will fight about everything and nothing. We are so ready for winter to be over.

Yesterday was so fun. Faith had a blast. Actually I think all the kids enjoyed playing and all the adults enjoyed visiting. My cousin Tami and Eddie came and all of their kids. And all of my family was there except Jessica had to work. We had a houseful I think there was 24 people in all. Faith recieved a dollhouse, a baby stroller, a play cell phone, (which was her favorite), a musical cookie jar shape sorter, a lemon merigue doll, and a winnie the pooh basketball hoop. We stayed up playing with toys till like 10:00 and then got up bright and early this morning to play with them some more.

Happy Valentine's Day!!! Yummy chocolate for breakfast. I had to get Brandon up a little early to get his homework done. So he puts his head up and says "Is it Valentines Day"I am like yeah. So he comes downstairs and starts looking. I am like what are you looking for he says nothing. Then he finds what he was REALLY looking for. It was cute.
Then I call Josh and tell him Happy Valentines Day since he had to be up by 5:00. He says its not over yet. Wonder what that means. Anyways I am looking forward to the kids parties. Bens is at 10:30 and then I have to be at Brandons by 2:50. Should be a fun love filled, candy filled day.

No school today. We had 3 or 4 inches fall over night and supposedly another 3 or 4 on its way. So today will be a lazy lounging day. I dont get many of those so it will be nice. Plus this week so far has already worn me out a bit. I am working on 5 sets of taxes so that is a little frustrating you think it would be really easy but unexpected things come up sometime. Yesterday was hilarious I had to run around to 3 stores (which turned into 4 since I forgot a couple of things) and it was pouring down rain. Faith thought it was fun though and the other kids were in school. Bens bus was late which meant Brandon was almost late to school. I had from 9:15 until Ben gets off the bus at 11:50. I got home from shopping at 11:42.
This is also one of the months were there are several birthdays. We are having a bday party this Sunday for Dad, Jana, Faith, and Josh. Then I am having a bday party for Faith on Friday the 15th she will be 2 can you believe it. But nice excuse for 2 cakes and icecream. I am making a cake for moms and buying a cake for Faith. She likes tinkerbell. Those pics will come later.
