Just Some Pics

 

This is how I found Livy one evening, passed out in the laundry basket!

The Torgersons came down from Utah for a visit.  The kids loved getting to spend time together, they really miss each other!!

 

Parker Scott is the newest addition to the Torgersons, we were very excited to meet him.  Livy LOVED him!!

Livy’s new favorite spot for playing and reading is behind this chair in the living room.  And yes, Livy enjoys reading in the nude!  It’s HOT here in Arkansas!!

Maddy starting on her new book, Ramona Quimby Age 8. 

Arkansas Travelers

 

All the kids got free Travelers Shirts

Maddy got a foul ball, it was her first one and she was so excited!

We went to an Arkansas Travelers game with the Andersons last week.  We got there early and ate dinner at the Ball Park and by the time the game started, the kids were getting cranky.  It was very hot and the sun wasn’t going down fast enough.  Heat + Pregnancy= Miserable  We only made it to the 2nd inning.  I didn’t mind leaving early, we were there the night before for Micha’s company Family Night. 

#3

Just thought I would share our latest news with everyone that doesn't already know.  We are expecting baby #3 in January 2012!!  Yikes, number 3, which means Micha and I will be outnumbered!!  The girls are very excited about a new baby, they are already throwing out names.  So far we have vetoed all of them, especially Livy's suggestion of PooPoo.  I get a little overwhelmed thinking about having 3 kids, when 2 stress me out to the max already!  But, being the kind wife that I am, I gave Micha one more chance for that beloved boy he is so wanting(which means this will be another girl)!    I went to the doctor yesterday and I got a prescription for Zofran to help with the nausea and can I tell you, I LOVE ZOFRAN!! Now, I can look at food without wanting to vomit! Sorry for anyone who has to be around me for the next 7 months, it won't be pleasant!! 

Brag Time

   

Madison with her WONDERFUL teacher, Mrs. Shaw

 

Pool Party at Mrs. Shaw’s for the Top 5 Readers!

Sorry, but this post is to brag on Madison!  She has really excelled this year in school and has made us so proud!   It was award day at school and she racked up with 5 different awards !   They included Rising Reader, Outstanding Math, Outstanding Writing, Outstanding Reading, and The Wild Cat Award(an overall achievement award). I am grateful for Madison’s teacher this year.  Mrs. Shaw really challenged Madison and kept her in check.  It is so amazing how their reading level sky rocket in the first grade.  She reads 2-3 chapter books a week.  One of our goals for the summer is to go to the library weekly and continue her reading throughout the summer.  She was on cloud-nine after receiving all her awards.  Madison  has such a passion for learning new things and I hope that passion stays with her.  We are so proud of you and know you will do GREAT in the 2nd grade!
