Crawling!

So Alyssa has been crawling for about a week and it's so exciting. Today I realized just how much fun it is to have a baby crawling all the time. I mean it's not like I haven't had a crawling baby three times before, but it really hasn't gotten any less exciting for me! She's a pretty nosey baby the way Anthony used to be. Alex and Lexie seemed pretty content just getting around to us or to their toys, but Anthony and now Alyssa want to go everywhere and couldn't care less about their toys or coming to us. Last night Justin went over towards Alyssa and she actually tried to get away from him, but then stopped and looked to smile at him. It's fun. She thinks she's hot stuff cause she can now wave pretty good and will do it over and over again- not even ten months old and she can be repetitive! lol In other news Justin had a "snow day" yesterday as the roads were closed and we had so much fun just hanging out. Ok, we do that a lot, but it's still fun. We're homebodies!

Justice League!

For quite some time now we've had a tradition going that the kids and Justin all watch Justice League daily. Well, most days. A new episode airs every night while the kids are sleeping and then when Justin comes home they all "unwind" to it. Then after the show it's wrestling time and depending on who was in the episode they all practice their news moves. Superman and Batman fight a different way. There are several other guys in the show as well and Anthony's favorite is Flash. Alex loves Superman and Lexie of course Loves Superwoman. She fights just as well as the boys do! Right now the kids are all watching Justice League and I just am not into it.....
However, today was a cool day! I did sharing time in primary and then after church I got together with a couple of girls from the primary presidency and we visited a few girls from the ward. We've had a couple new families move in which is great cause we have a small primary. Our ward is smaller and only has 12 young women! Oh, mom sharing time is a 20 minute creative lesson that I prepare and then put on twice once a month. Once for the Junior primary and then again for the senior primary. It went great. The junior kids were shy so I volunteered Anthony to be my helper. When I was starting Lexie yelled out "that's my mommy". It was cute. However, while I was finishing up with the older kids Lexie came back into the primary room cause her teacher had to find me. Lexie announced to everyone "I have to pee". My goodness I am trying to get her to be a lady, but I suppose at three it's just not a easy concept and she's about as shy as I am so......... Anyway, was a great day!

Loving Life!

We've been having a lot of fun the past couple of weeks and really every since November time has just been flying by! I'm excited that February is almost here cause then my parents will be here for a visit! Also, I'm eager to put on a activity for the primary kids I'm starting to get to know. I really like my new church calling as 2ND counselor in the primary pres., but I had know idea how much work came with it! It's not too much when everybody does their part, but right now we're down two teachers so that means I get to fill in more than usual. This week I do the sharing time and in March I'll conduct the meetings. Good thing I'm not shy- you all knew that about me right? lol Alyssa started to crawl on the 23rd and is working on her second tooth. Lexie is my little side kick and the boys just love to play super hero's. They are good little fighters. We think some day we'll have to get them both into karate. I have a new theory that boys just have to beat things up from time to time to get out some aggression. We have this Spider Man punching bag and they love it......
