This week has been kinda rough because we have been sick...Caliah in particular. It's so sad to see our little princess like that. Her little cry was barely audible. Today she is finally acting like she is getting better. You can tell because she is starting to talk and laugh again. She likes to copy what you say. She particularly likes to say "mmmm" in different ways (like yummy food). She also started doing something new just today...nodding her head YES. She has been shaking her head no for quite some time but this is new! When she does it she moves her whole body, almost like she is doing the worm.
As you will notice in pictures, you often can catch Caliah with her thumb in her mouth. Lesser known is that you can find her other hand doing something else oftentimes as well...in her belly button. Haha. This was one of the days she was sick...her little eyes look so sad. I am so glad she is getting back to normal (probably thanks to a trip to Grandma's for a good oil rub and her letting us borrow her diffuser since ours broke so that we can blast our house with RC and Thieves..thanks Mom!)
The boys had their last soccer game this week. They both did awesome...Corbin finally played on the field by himself for the first time. Conley had so much energy and was running circles around the field, scoring 2 goals. They were both very proud of their trophies and pictures (I'll have to scan those and post those later). Corbin planned out exactly where in his room he was going to put them on the way home.
They also had their last day of preschool! Here's three pics of their class because they all showed different personalities and I couldn't choose which one. (I do like the funny one though.)
One thing that always fills our days are lots of lego creations. I want to start taking more pictures of the things Conley and Corbin build. I am always so impressed! Conley is so skilled with putting pieces together...it's amazing to watch him.
Another thing we have been doing this week is playing board games particularly with Conley. He caught on very well to Lost Cities (which says it is for age 10+!). It is crazy to see my little boy becoming so smart. Playing the games really helps with his counting and he loves it! After Corbin and Caliah have gone to bed we play and it is really fun to spend that two on one time with him. We are challenging as parents with him from time to time as he can get angry and demanding (he doesn't like it when his little brother and sister mess with his stuff...the life of being the oldest). So seeing him happy and excited is rewarding.
A little about Juan and I...Juan is starting his LAST semester of his master's program in Coaching and Athletic Administration! We are so grateful that we were able to find a masters program that worked perfect with our lives and is something that he loves. There have been some late nights but it's been good and I am proud of Juan for pursuing this goal.
Last week, I went with mom to a Whole-Person Preparedness Conference (Body, Mind, & Spirit) in Idaho Falls. It was awesome! I learned so much and really felt uplifted from the things I learned...one of those things being about living at a higher vibration. We really are just meant to be happy which comes from living by faith. There is much opposition in this world but God is mindful of us and we just need to look steadfastly to Him. A couple quotes I like from the conference:
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” - Albert Einstein
The greatest tragedy in life is the prayers that go unanswered because they go unasked.
One other thing from the conference...there is this free download from Kirk Duncan who wrote Mind of Steel. It is a two hour audio that goes over how to monitor thoughts so that you can have better life results. It has been worthwhile for me to listen to so check it out if you want here: www.3keyelements.com/mind
Until next week! Love on!
