When she told me to close the window I knew the day had come. But this early? So the twins went out back to play as soon as we got home from CC. I heard them talking, a lot, and figured it was about the day. Funny because on the drive home they are usually so chatty and when I asked about the day they both replied with a short "good". I found it strange then. So when I was opening windows and Claire told me to close the one to the backyard I knew they didn't want me to hear what they were saying. I could hear that it was about Ella, her attention to Logan and his to her. They were speaking in such adult-like voices about what to say to her when she was downcast because he wasn't playing with her. Overall just seems that everyone wants to play with Logan and it's gone to his head. The bummer is that the twins are getting caught up in this teeny bopper drama. Not good. Luckily they each played with others today.. Clara and Hope. I know they felt left out even though from what I understood Logan wasn't nice to them at all. <br />
<br />
The biggest thing here for me was that they wanted to talk about it without me. I wondered if they thought I would get mad or what? I did finally go outside and slowly the whole story came out. I encouraged them to play with friends who are always friends (not mad one day and mean the next). I also made sure to just stay really neutral so they would know they could talk to me :) Such cuties!Isabelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16700560573327016225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275482234730921030.post-75800579163636960612015-02-17T20:22:00.002-08:002015-02-17T20:24:07.260-08:00sweet caroline<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This sweet girl keeps me on my toes. She is so perceptive, thoughtful and tender. She can use those dear qualities to be very sly as well. I can't rush through life with her - for so many reasons. Most importantly because she doesn't like to be rushed. She's all about the relationship. When she's not behaving well then it's pretty clear that I need to spend more quality time with her. I think this little peanut has me figured out too.

It was a spur of the moment decision to go to Sutter's Fort today for the Living History Day. We know that the Trumans, Mullens and Fongs were there so that made it all of the more exciting to go! I wished that I had signed up for this in the first place because it would have fit perfectly with our history this year and they really would have loved it. We stayed for several hours and then picked up Calista and Garrett from Challenge. Great day!<br />

This year they are performing 'The Hiding Place' which is the story of Corrie Ten Boom. The feel is overall different this year because of the topic but it's been an amazing experience so far. A Holocaust survivor attended last night's performance and she shared a bit at the end. We should have provided tissue boxes because there was not a dry eye.<br />
<br />
Calista's part is relatively small since she is a child and they are only in the first act of the play. She adores her part and it fits her personality perfectly. She did so well and I was very proud of her. The have a third performance today and then after a week's break the tech week begins again for another 5 shows. We're so grateful that Calista has these opportunities to learn from Mrs. Wilson and from such a caring and talented group of actors. <br />

Ken is so happy to have Caroline playing softball this year. This is a first for her and she is not only having fun but catching on quickly to the sport. She has a great group of girls on her team and she is always happy to go to practice or to a game. I also think she loves this time with Daddy.<br />
<br />
Her sisters enjoy the games for the most part but especially look forward to the snack shack and the playground.<br />

We had a very special Easter Sunday this year at my parents house. We typically stay home but with the kids getting older, we've made more of an effort to spend holidays with our extended family. I actually don't think we've spent an Easter away from home since we moved 5 years ago. Most of our Easter egg hunts were at church with friends so the girls were really surprised to find that they eggs for this hunt were real! They were expecting the plastic candy filled eggs instead. <br />

I was especially glad we made the (long) trip because Papi was leaving 2 days later to walk the Camino de Santiago. He will be gone for a month and although I'm excited for him, I am still a tiny bit worried. It's a long trip and the weather doesn't seem to be very good there right now. I'll be praying for him daily. <br />

We went on a great field trip to Davis Ranch today. We learned a bit about farming and agriculture and then took a tractor ride out to the fields to pick produce. <br />

Our first stop was a corn field! They picked the largest ones and packed many boxes. It was a little messy and we ended up with lots of powdery stuff in our hair and itchy arms. It was all worth it for a piece of yummy corn on the ride back. We had never eaten corn raw like that so it was a real surprise when everyone loved it. <br />

Courtney is so diligent about learning the presidents or whatever we're memorizing at the time. She found this little spot this week and spent a lot of time there with her books or the presidents cards. She is so adorable!<br />

Courtney and Claire had their first playdate without me. They didn't want to go at first, especially Courtney. But then Claire said, "okay, I'll go. Courtney, I'll tell you all about it!" I left them at the Petrees for just 2 hours and when I returned they didn't want to leave. Now they ask me every day if they can go to Marseille's house. <br />

We went out tonight to celebrate our new house and ran into Sandy and Karley. I didn't even recognize Karley at first because she has grown up so much. She is a beautiful and very sweet girl. She was so nice to come over and see us and the girls were all googley-eyed over her fancy dress and prince. It was so much fun to see them and it just reminded me of the proms and dances that Sandy and I went to together. It should still be our prom! </div>

Courtney is such a sweet and tender hearted little girl. When I tuck her in at night she is usually on the verge of tears. She tries to hide her face in the pillow but I can tell she's crying. She tells me that she misses me when she sleeps. How precious is that? She melts my heart.Isabelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16700560573327016225noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275482234730921030.post-42476447753643594832011-11-28T22:44:00.000-08:002011-12-03T09:24:58.881-08:00november highlights<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now she shows everyone her cute smile with a missing tooth.Isabelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16700560573327016225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275482234730921030.post-2130040490112070072011-10-31T22:08:00.000-07:002015-02-18T13:46:43.497-08:00costumes<div style="text-align: center;">

The girls have begged us every year to dress up with them. We finally did it! <br />

Our group met over the summer and tie-dyed these shirts with our logo. It wasn't exactly what the girls wanted to wear on their first day but they got over it quickly. They loved having new backpacks and lunch boxes. <br />

Calista has a much heavier load in school this year... in math, writing and grammar. She is definitely rising to the occasion and I'm so proud of her. She has oral presentations each week and works hard at preparing for them. Actually, all of the girls do and it's been a treat to watch their confidence and skill blossom. </div>

My little babies are kindergarteners. How did that happen?! I'm doing <a href="http://www.mfwbooks.com/products/M50/20/0/0/1">My Father's World Kinder</a> with them (as I did with Caroline). I was going to take them through FIAR but decided since I already had MFW K ready to go, I didn't need to do something different. Simplify, right? I loved it when I went through it with Caroline and there were so many special memories made with that curriculum. <br />

The girls have been singing in the children's choir at church recently and this was taken during their first Sunday of singing. I loved this photo of the twins singing their 'shared' solo and Caroline's expression. So sweet! <br />

Knowing that September held the last of the swim days above 90 degrees, we took advantage of every free afternoon. We worked non-stop in the mornings and then met our friends at the pool whenever we could. September went by in a flash as we grew into our new weekly routine.<br />

Caroline decided she was ready to read the American Girls Molly book. She really wants the Molly doll and Calista told her she had to read the books in order to earn the doll. That's what we decided with her a few years ago and she didn't forget. Great motivation for Caroline as she spent hours reading today. <br />

There is a reading plan for the book by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ministry-Motherhood-Following-Reaching-Children/dp/1578565820/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305900586&sr=8-1">Sally Clarkson</a> and a schedule for the scripture reading as well. The documents are available for download <a href="http://www.goodmorninggirls.org/2011/05/ministry-of-motherhood-documents-to-download/">here</a>. Last I read there were about 140 Good Morning Girls groups formed. There is still time to jump in as we haven't started the book yet. This week we've focused on five different passages using the S.O.A.P method. <br />
<br />
S.O.A.P stands for the following:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>"S" - reading/writing the <b>scripture. </b> </li>
<li>"O" - writing down <b>observations</b> about the scripture that was read. What might He be telling you with this scripture?</li>
<li>"A" - how does this passage <b>apply</b> to you right now. </li>
<li>"P" - write down a <b>prayer</b> and ask God to help apply this to your life. Tell Him what is on your heart.</li>
</ul><div>I've had the book for a few years now and have been hoping to read it. This book club will help me finally do just that. I'm looking forward to the next 12 weeks of study with the focus on scripture geared to strengthen and grow as a mother. </div></div>Isabelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16700560573327016225noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275482234730921030.post-47549430196781302342011-05-19T05:05:00.000-07:002011-05-19T05:05:19.506-07:00preschool and trays<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-lLDQANiI3I9_vpqE4RBFEe95lkJwySNLDCvb3houBVIhZgfkjmEerohMG4Hf2YJTTrqzsqm1no2vM7FcjPwIQAxzUNLhC2oKqTFyJFLHz3OkQX0Qjw9cmPxVug1CsT5hgFrNiLUcf1VG/s1600/math.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-lLDQANiI3I9_vpqE4RBFEe95lkJwySNLDCvb3houBVIhZgfkjmEerohMG4Hf2YJTTrqzsqm1no2vM7FcjPwIQAxzUNLhC2oKqTFyJFLHz3OkQX0Qjw9cmPxVug1CsT5hgFrNiLUcf1VG/s640/math.jpg" width="640" /></a>Courtney and Claire love playing dress-up and dolls so much lately that they aren't as eager to do school as they used to be. I don't push it very much since play is so important but I still keep their trays filled with interesting activities. Art projects, math and anything with water seem to be their favorites. I'm going to switch them to workboxes next year for kindergarten. The trays have been wonderful but I think they're ready for the workboxes now. </div>Isabelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16700560573327016225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275482234730921030.post-70942617568856266812011-05-12T22:30:00.000-07:002011-05-16T22:43:21.434-07:00piano recital<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSi68YgCAg3LIZO1f7dGNrXh4yw-V3CZaL-VLm02ue8KM3uO1caMr_hKnewpCVBadYwfdqdsvxYBAoXr6jCqftJ-e-D1P9z0IlBA5Of8jnYcpdKydk1mPwJPxt0UUJyMA1L9jFpWIdmbj/s1600/DSC_5377.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSi68YgCAg3LIZO1f7dGNrXh4yw-V3CZaL-VLm02ue8KM3uO1caMr_hKnewpCVBadYwfdqdsvxYBAoXr6jCqftJ-e-D1P9z0IlBA5Of8jnYcpdKydk1mPwJPxt0UUJyMA1L9jFpWIdmbj/s640/DSC_5377.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Calista and Caroline had their piano recital this week.

It was a fun evening recognizing the kids and the leaders that make Awana happen. It's such a great program and we're so grateful for the opportunity to have our girls involved. It was a little sad for us to have our last little Cubbies graduate. Courtney and Claire will be Sparks next year with Caroline. Pretty amazing really. <br />

It's the same thing they do after church on Sunday. I always laugh with Ken about how many hours I've spent over the years watching the kids play on this grass. I loved this picture of the girls taking a break from their game of chase. <br />

These little girls are growing at lightning speed! How is it that they want to rollerskate already? Big sister influence is a real thing. It's cute that Caroline still calls them babies when she's addressing both of them. Only lately have they corrected her. "We're big girls, not babies!" They are still so loving and cuddly that I can't help but call them babies as well. <br />
