Happenings at our House

I have started picking up a few little things for my new baby coming in October.  His/Her due date is October 2nd.  I’m HOPING Becca is overdue by two days!!  (My bday is Oct 4th).  I figured these would work for a girl or a boy – just add a cute red bow if it’s a girl :)  I’m thinking boy  - we’ll see!

Joy’s behavioral therapist helped us make this morning routine chart for Joy.  She loves the magnets!

Sammi has been learning about local plant life and what you can make with it.  Love her curiosity!

Our piano teacher and my Visiting Teacher’s Chihuahua had puppies.  Sammi made the Mama Dog some homemade, gourmet Doggy treats.  She loved them!  The puppies are so teeny.

This would be a typical picture – I go to check on Joy at ten o’clock at night and find her up playing school.  “I’m Fee-ster!”  Her teacher’s name is Ms Pfister. 

Crazy girl, go to sleep!! (Our daily battle)

Daddy picked some two new trees for us – an apple and a Dogwood (my FAV!)

Jessi’s Choir Concert

Jason bought his birthday present early!  He bought and installed this new radio that connects to his phone.  Tech doesn’t do much to me, but when I was driving around the other day, I had to admit, it’s pretty cool.  It reads your texts and emails to you.  You can reply verbally.  That was fun!  All of the music on your phone, everything.  Pretty cool!

Sammi and Jason out on a Sushi date!

Lizzy got to spend some time at a friend’s house.  They made a fun cake!

I was sick all weekend, which meant that most of the child care feel to Miss Jessi.  To show our appreciation, Jason took her out to see Zootopia – just the two of them! 

They had a great time!

Lots of Visitors!!

It’s been a tad chilly – love ice crystals, though.  I think they are so beautiful!IMG_0779IMG_0780

My Joy, the cook!

We have had a house full!

Becca and Blake came down for the weekend.  Angie and Trevor came down for their Winter Break.  And Grandma and Grandpa Turpin came down to complete the party!

I felt a little bad since we all had to go to school and work, so I’m not sure we were very good hosts, but it was great to see everyone!

Becca announced something to her Grandparents!

For helping us out some much all the time, Jason got Sam some sushi dishes, so she made sushi.
