Air Shows

My kids went to the Fort Worth Alliance Air show a couple of weeks ago.  Michael took everyone but the baby.  The baby and I stayed home.  The kids loved the air show.
Evan didn't want to get out of the stoller much

It was a little windy so not all of the tricks could be performed.

Joshua and Dallin are still very much into planes.  

Joshua just did a report on the inventor of the jet plane.

Yesterday we went to the Wings Over Dallas Pearl Harbor Reeaactment

They had a WWII camp set up.  You can look in the tents and medic tent.  It was really neat.

They had jeeps and a tank to look at as well.

We ran into Uncle David and his family there.  It was fun!

The air show was so neat.  They had to WWII vets actually there to tell the story themselves.

They had fake bombs and everything.

Now that we are home Joshua is back to watching WWII documentaries.  ha ha

We had a great time and it was neat experience.

Blessing Day


Aaron was blessed last week.  It was a wonderful day.  Jessica took our family picture afterwards.  I really appreciate her talent!  


All the men who helped bless the baby.  I appreciate all of our family!
Aaron is doing pretty well.  He goes down at night between 7-9 and sleeps until around 2 or 3 am.  He is then up again around 5 am.  My older kids are up at 6, so I have spent lots of mornings up by 5.  He still won't nurse so we are exclusively pumping.  It is a learning curve and time suck for sure.  He is worth though.  ;)  He is starting to smile and coo at us.  

Joshua is doing really well in school.  We are working on him being a bit more organized.  We have had some weekends where he tells us he thinks a project is due and we haven't even heard about it. Joshua's ELA teacher says she has him explain things to the kids when they don't get stuff.  He also has always had terrible handwriting, so she is making him type everything.  He likes it that way as well. He loves math and a science.  He made the honor roll.  Joshua also joined honor choir.  He is loving it.

Leah is growing up so fast.  She is so helpful and loving.  She is doing well in school and tested well on her first MAPs test.  The kindergarten teacher says she is a great example to all of the kids.  Leah loves to draw.  She draws or colors things constantly.  It must be the influence of the Clark family or Michael.  ;)  Leah was Top Cat for the first six weeks.  


Evan is learning his letters.  He loves doing workbook time with me.  He is weaning off his afternoon nap.  He loves Aaron, almost too much.  It drives me crazy when he wants to play with the baby but the baby is sleeping and he decides to yell "Wake up baby!"  He is loves to help me in the kitchen watching me cook or getting things from the pantry.  

Dallin is doing great in school as well.  He made the honor roll as well. He is very organized in school and keeps an agenda.  He works hard on all of his homework.  He is always willing to lend a helping hand without being asked.  

We are blessed with some great kids!
