My little cute monster

What a cutie. I have so much to say about him. christian just turned 18 months and he has such a fun personality. but boy is he a hard kid. You see how he is sticking his tongue out. He does that a lot. Like when he is concentrating. He is so funny. Jon calls him Demon Baby, Jon will put his finger right between his eyes and push the skin down and say" Demon Baby " And christian will chuckle in a demon way it's pretty funny. When we were at church on sunday he was sitting on Jons lap and jon was messing with his hair or something that he didn't like he turned to him and blew spit bubbles in his face. Don't know where that came from , but it was pretty funny. and yesterday he had one of Jocelyns paint brushes and was playing with it he got a dust bunny on the bottom of it. Jackson had just got home from school and we were sitting on the couch talking and he came over and put it up to us and said" raw raw" Trying to scare us It looked kind of like a spider and I guess he thought it was funny to scare us. Oh that kid amazes me with the things that he does. He is really starting to talk. Repeats a lot of things and he is just getting too big too fast. He likes to eat everything in his sight. One of his staples is butt paste. Everytime it is in his reach he snatches it, opens it up and puts his finger in the hole and puts it in his mouth and says yum. I don't quite get that one yet. He loves to dance everytime the music is on he starts dancing. He is a very busy boy. Was supposed to got to nursery last week, but mom ended up going with. I thought that it would happen. He is a mama and papas boy. He likes grandma merline too. She just got back from california visiting Lyle and Tracy and it's been 5 weeks. but christian didn't forget grandma he loves her a lot too. He likes to play hop on pop. WHen jon or anyone for that matter lays on the floor he will straddle you and hop on you. Even Jocelyn, but she doesn't think it is too funny. They grow so fast and he is my last so it makes me sad sometimes to think I am done having babies. They are a lot of work , but they are also soooo much joy.

My special girl

Wow it's been so long since I have blogged. I love to look at everyone elses but I just don't get the time to write anything. Usually I am wrestling with christian when I am in the computer room, so I don't get to stay very long in here. Jon does not like it at all when christian is in here because he messes up everything. Well I thought I would try to take everyday and write a little about each of my kids. wow this year is allready going by so fast. Look at my beautiful Jocelyn. I love this picture of her she is growing up so fast. She will be having a birthday soon and will be turning 4. She is so smart. she has been in preschool this whole year and is loving it. she has lots of friends because she is a social butterfly. but she does have a little anxiety of being away from mommy. She is a sunbeam this year in church. that change was a little hard for her, but she is getting used to it now. she is so smart. She will go to preschool another year before kindergarten, but she knows most of her letters and some sounds thanks to the letter factory movie(thanks to deb). She loves that show. she loves anything to do with princess or pink or barbies. she is an amazing litte girl. She is a good big sister and as Everlee is getting bigger they are starting to play together. not as well as I would like yet, but Everlee is not talking real well yet so I am hoping when she starts talking they will play together. JOcelyn loves for mommy to play barbies too. So I get to spend time with her doing that. She loves to sing and dance I am going to put her into dance this summer. I think she will do real well. I love her so much and so thankful that God sent her to us. She always hugs me and loves me and tells me she is glad that Jesus sent her here and she has the bestest family. I will agree with that. She definitely adds much joy to this family. Even though things are hard right now with the economy I have to stop and count my many blessings, because I have many.

This Lazy susan he gets into all the time. I thought I had everything put up, but he got into an ovaltine bottle and it had the foil on it, but he took his finger and poked a hole in it and spread it all over the floor. Then he was licking the floor and laying down in it and rolling in it and swimming in it. It was so funny I took video of it, because Jon wasn't there when it happened. he watched it later and was laughing so hard. It was funny. I love that kid so much it is a good thing he is so cute, because he is a little stinker. he gets into everything. You should see our christmas tree. It is top heavy we had to put all the ornaments on the top of the tree because he pulls them all off. and we have some beads and he grabs the beads and trys to pull them off the christmas tree.

My little mischievious christian He gets into everything.

Trying to help mom with the dishes^

He loves to put things in his mouth too. Doesn't he look cute with that play carrot sticking out of his mouth.
