Everyday
seems so routine but I know 5 or even 10 years from now the routine will be
different and I will want to know what life was like when the kids were
small. So here is a peek into present
time. I am walking on the treadmill as I
type this entry. The older kids have left
for school. The morning started out
fairly peaceful. I looked at the stock
market this morning. Looks like the
NASDAQ will be down. McCabe needed some
help with his homework. He was alphabetizing his spelling words and typing
the past, present, and future tense of each word. Xadia wanted to find a book from the series
of “the Diary of a Wimpy Kid so she could take it to school and read. She is getting ready for Dr. Seuss’ birthday
read-a-thon. Jacinda is gone. She had play practice this morning at the
school. She is a jungle citizen in
Seussical the Musical. Teagan is busy
playing his kindle. He likes to play a
game where a block slides across the floor and jumps over items. He just informed me that he is now playing a
new game called Terreria.
I
enjoy my kids. They are really good
people. Jacinda likes to spend her time
playing undertale and making crafts. Currently
she is sewing an undertale creature out of gray fabric.
She is loving young womens and is now filling her schedule with activities and friends. McCabe loves to play with Michael Smith. Everyday he asks if Michael can play. When these two boys get together they use their imaginations to create scenarios and solve them. It is so interesting. I once over heard them say, “you go into a dark cave and now….” Then the other boy finishes the sentence and picks up the adventure from there. They converse back and forth and do this for hours. It is amazing. Xadia likes to play Minecraft or Roblox. She is very obedient and super helpful. Just last night I asked everyone to get in their pajamas and brush their teeth. Xadia did it on the first request. I had to tell the other kids 3 or 4 times before they did what was requested. Xadia also comes straight home and does her homework so she can be free to play the computer or Legos. She also makes fantastic pictures using markers and plastic jewels.

Teagan
and I stay at home. I like the time I
have with him. He will be starting
kindergarten this fall so that means it is time for me to go to work full time.
But for the moment, I silently watch
this boy. He loves to play his kindle
and watch Curious George (the monkey).
He loves to have books read to him. He currently loves 3 books; Tractors, The Giant Jam Sandwich, and Curious George and the Snowy Day. Teagan also loves to go swimming. He jumps off the diving boards (the low and high) and does the Wibit obstacle course. But I think his favorite thing do to when swimming is hold onto Tim and go up and down in the water as Tim swims.

Tim is
the best guy and husband ever! He works
so hard everyday to provide for the family. He comes home exhausted but still
has enough energy to spend time with the kids.
Yesterday he was teaching McCabe about investing and starting young so
that time and massive interest can be on his side. McCabe got excited and wants to open a
brokerage account. Tim is also very good
at helping the kids with their art projects.
He helped Jacinda make her castle for school medieval days.
Tim is also a good sport. He played the part of Sonny Bono for the annual ward chili cook off. He was dragging his feet the whole way but the second he stepped on the stage he transformed into this crazy confident celebrity. It was a lot of fun.
