thoughts for today

Today I realized that I haven't posted in a long time. What's up with that. It could be because I have been crazy busy with 4 kids and an even busier husband. We may have also took on more than we probably should have lately.

We are in the middle of soccer season with both Abby and Aaron. Abby has really improved this year. She has gotten a lot more aggressive which is great since she is still half the size of all the other girls. I have tried and tried to make it out to Aaron's games, but have only managed to make one and half so far. But he was pretty good from what I saw.

Abby is also still doing guitar once a week and she loves it and even showed off her new rock star abilities during a primary play a few weeks ago.

Emma is still dancing away every Wednesday with tap and ballet class and will be having her recital this May. (May 14th to be exact... grandparents... just sayin)

Jonas and Noah are becoming the best of buddies and just like predicted are beginning to plot against me. Jonas will help Noah get into things he knows she shouldn't. It's lots of fun. Noah is also always trying to wrestle Jonas and I am still trying to explain to Jonas why he cant sit on Noah like Noah sits on him. Ahhh Boys!!

Noah Is now 10 months. 10 MONTHS!! Seriously where does the time go. He just barely made it to 15% for weight and a whopping 30% for height (he is 18 lbs and I forget how tall). So he is more of an Abby than a Jonas for sure. I think he knows that and so he is already trying to show Jonas he isn't scared and tries to attack Jonas all the time. Also, big news for Noah he finally decided to on the night of his 10 month birthday to sleep through the night and has continued the trend for a week now (yea!!). This is a big deal for me and so I guess after a lot of prayer he just decided that sleeping sounded like a good idea. We put him to bed the same way and he just.... slept. It was AWESOME!! The best part was no crying involved. Noah doesn't have much interest in walking (the 3 others all were walking by 10 months), but im really okay with it. He has been such a good baby. Especially on Sunday's. I have to teach primary and with Aaron in the bishopric Noah always seems to get passed around the ward a lot. Usually he will NOT go to a stranger, but I think he just knows how it is on Sunday is just goes with it. So thanks to anyone who might have had to hold him for us. We really appreciate it!

We never really announced it, but since we got the actual acceptance letter in the mail not too long ago I think its safe to go ahead and let everyone know. Aaron was awarded a scholarship for Graduate school to to get his Masters degree. yea!! And because its a scholarship thingermajig his work is pretty much paying for him just just go to school for a year. So we will be moving to the Washington DC area mid July. We are so excited for this new adventure and cant wait!!

and since most of my pictures are now taken on my phone and I havent put them on the computer yet this one of some super cute brothers will have to do. I will post more later.... maybe in a few months
