Emma is 6 Months!

This little cutie just had her 6 month appointment last week and she is doing great! She was 24 inches short (apparently she's really short on the growth chart, surprise, surprise, who would have guessed with her genes.) and 13 lbs! She's really small apparently but heavier than high, and the doc said she's healthy! She has been seizure free for 2 months now! The doc is setting her up with a neurologist here incase we ever need him, but the seizures aren't a concern and she is perfectly healthy, so we don't foresee needing him. She is a super happy girl and always on the go! She's ahead in every stage too! What a great girl!

Roger has been busy becoming a local celebrity. He has gone to Abby's school for a "Healthy Heros" lunch (with only a little wifely pressure from me). On Friday he is going to be honored at Abby's school Veteran's Day program. And on the 15th he's going to be interviewed by a local radio station! They said they will also want to have him come in often afterwards to talk on the radio!

October!

Here are our pictures from October!

We started a rabbit farm! We had 3 to begin with.

Easter (aka Houdini), Hoppy, Lucky.
Easter got out and lead the way for Hoppy. Unfortunately, once they escaped our yard Hoppy met his fate. But he taught the kids a lesson. Sometimes our friends do things they shouldn't, and if we follow along and do it too it hurts us, spiritually because the Holy Ghost leaves us, and sometimes physically too, like Hoppy.

Some of Abby's homework that I LOVED! For those who don't read first grader, the part I like most says, "I love my mommy because she is so nice."

Abby drew a picture of Thomas S. Monson during General Conference.

Abby and I have a tradition of doing nails for each holiday.

Ammon is a daredevil.

Emma is a daddy's girl!

Chance is happy, happy, happy!

The slugs here are huge!

Abby 6.5 years old.

Kolob 4.5 yrs old.

Ammon 2.5 yrs old.

Emma 6 months.

We went to the Castle of Muskogee for some Halloween fun.

Emma sits and army crawls at 6 months!

Pumpkin carving!

Emma likes to play mechanic under our chair.

Costumes! Abby the cat. Kolob the train. Ammon the dinosaur. And Emma the angel.

Three new rabbits! Bottom is not named yet male. All white one is Roger Rabbit. Black and white one is Kole's new bunny he named Isabelle.

Kole is doing well with homeschooling. He loves doing it too!

Tomatoes

Abby: "What did they use for Ketchup before they had Ketchup?"

Me: "I have no idea. Probably nothing"

Abby: "how do you make tomatoes?"

Me: "Are you kidding me?! You know where tomatoes come from! Tell me... where do tomatoes come from?"

Kole: "Jesus!"

Me: "Not where I was going with that, but true!"

Kole is one of the sweetest kids ever. He is often very helpful and offering to do things for me. He can be a stinker, and very emotional sometimes, but over all, he is a really good kid. All our kids are.

Oct. 5th- Roger offered to go to the store to pick up some diapers for Emma. He came back with THREE packages of cookies, TWO angel food cakes, ice cream bars, and a bag of candy. No diapers.

Oct. 30th- Today I learned that Abby didn't know the difference between smoking cigarettes and illegal drugs, and informed her whole school during red ribbon week that her "grandma and grandpa do drugs".

Nov. 4th- Abby: "I'm never getting married cause I think kissing is disgusting! And what if my husband is weird like dad!?!?!"

Nov. 4th- We are on a long drive and Roger and I are reading couples questions and answering them to keep entertained and I read, "Is there anything you feel we have a hard time discussing? If so, why do we have a hard time discussing them?" And from the back of the car Abby butts in and yells up to us, "BECAUSE YOU HAVE TOO MANY KIDS!!"
