CH CH CH CHanges.....

Lots and lots of changes in our lives right now.  From when Paul quit working at Wilbert Burial Vault were he worked for nearly 11 years to rearranging our home.  Thanks are changing.  Having 3 children all so close in age has them very close to one another emotionally as well.  They have not been sleeping in their own rooms, let alone their own beds!  LOL  So we moved Mason into the girls room.  I realize eventually we will have to separate them, but for now in our little house this works.  So there is a bunk bed in the kids room his has Mason's bed on top, girls bed on bottom.  The girls have nearly always slept together.  Jasperlyn will not sleep alone so it's always been either with us or Maya and most day she ends up in our bed any way.  Now Mason is in love with his bed.  He says it's no girls allowed.  LOL

Mason's room is not our "TV room" or Family room.  We don't have an official name for it yet.  But the best news of all. We have a dining room!  That's right folks a real dining room table to eat our meals together at.  We have been eating on TV trays because there was no place for our table.  But now with the TV and other items from the living room in the new Family room, we have a living room/dining room!  It is great for meals and for homeschooling.  We love it!  The house is getting bigger it seems.  It's like a new house, in fact the kids keep saying "We're making a new house right mom!  I love our new house!"  LOL  So pictures..... first off you should know, my house is never clean.  ever.....

We are also trying to find a new place where we can worship God and serve him.  And now Paul and myself are in college through different online colleges.  Paul is attending Lincoln Christian again, but this time through their online program.  I am at Ashford University.  If you wanna compare online schools ask me I've done them all.  University of Phoenix is a JOKE, Kaplan is a good one, Ashford is still too new for me to give a good opinion.  :)

The girls started Ballet at Richland this year.  It is much cheaper and by much cheaper I mean WAY cheaper, and I have them in a Liturgical class which means all Christian music.  Yay!





Of course as you can see there is Jasperlyn in the glasses, then Maya behind, then Brooklynn and Kadence Boyd.  All love their teacher Miss Leanna.

We also recently tried the Papa Murphy's Lil Murph's pizza you take them home and the kids get to put it together just like the workers do with mom and dad's pizza.  The kids were so proud of their pizza's here is a before oven picture.

Here's some from our most recent Photo Shoot with our favorite photographer Grandma Barb (Barbara Harp)










Of course I have to share some of the monkey.... Who just turned 9 months old!
