Birthdays, Farm Day Fun, Dentist visits, and Mommy time!

I have been having a hard time figuring out what to cook so I bought this magazine cookbook and decided to try the tater tot casserole first. Mine is below. It was Ok but not a super duper dish that the children loved. I'll try another one this week.

Farm Day Fun: this is about as close as Zoe would get on this horse!

Rose and Asa loved riding the horses!

Asa on his horse!

Rose in heaven holding a baby chick!

Zoe (with two dots over the e) for some reason I can't copy and paste in blogger anymore??

Anyway, a note came home from school to come out and enjoy Mrs. Becky's farm and we did!! I took Zoe, Rose, and Asa while Grace and Elijah took a nap however if I would have known they had so much more than horses to ride I surely would have taken the others!! I felt bad! But Asa, Rose, and Zoe had fun!

Zoe kind of stood around the miniature horses but I don't remember her touching one.

Rose was scared at first but quickly started loving the little horses.

we brought Grace and Elijah home a stick horse and cowboy hat!

Asa's first trip to the dentist!! He was so brave!! He did awesome and no cavities!!

getting xrays

Asa showing me his picture he drew at school of he and Poppy fishing from a boat! too cute!

Princess Grace being Mommy to her baby bear (legs crossed and all!) love this!

Anthony begged to help with my Sewing business and his wish came true!! Thanks, Anthony, and he gets paid doing it!!

Anthony loves to be in front 0f a camera!

Henry had a birthday a couple weeks ago and I forgot to post it!! Happy Happy Birthday, Henry! What a handsome young man you are growing up to be!

WOW!!!!! all those pictures and not one of Elijah!! Must take some of him and post!! I believe I have some of him on cell phone. Will need to check and come add.

I can't have him without a picture with all the rest!! :)

And Happy Happy Birthday, Grandma (Mom Trixie, Mom!!!!!) .....

the many hats you wear! We pray your day was awesome!!

School and First trip to Dentist!

Rose and Grace had their first trip to the dentist and they were so brave!! Rose had one scared moment but the dental hygienist was amazing and gentle and explained everything so well! Thanks, Dr. Braun's office!!

School is going great! Asa and Rose love their teachers and they love their friends! The wonderful thing about their friends is that two are their cousins Ethan and Mia. They come home everyday and tell me how they played with them at recess. I could not be more excited about their first year at school. And actually we love all our children's teachers. Anthony has an awesome teacher who is working hard with Anthony. Zoë is in a special needs class and her teacher and paraprofessionals are awesome. She loves them and so do we! And Henry is in a great Christian high school where he is doing awesome! We could not be more proud of our children in their school. Grace will be homeschooled this year K4 Kindergarten. She is so excited and I expect Elijah will be sitting by her side during "class".
