Yummm sweet potatoes!

We tried some sweet potatoes with Emma and I think she enjoyed them that is if any made it inher mouth.
As you can see by the smile she was at least having fun. I think she thought we were playing and not trying to eat.
Prime example of playing and not getting any in her mouth. Now I think she is wondering what the heck is all over her.
Oh well it was fun!

Children's Museum

A friend and I took the kids to the Children's Museum yesterday. All the kids had a blast and were completely worn out when we left.

Here is Faith dressed up in scuba gear.
Levi and some of his friends were checking out the submarine bunks. It was cute how they show the kids about submarines and underwater animals.
This is Faith and a glimpse of Levi at the drive thru bank. Each room had a different theme for the kids to learn about.
Levi was playing the banker, do we see a future?
Jaxson and Emma were just having a good time hanging out.

Graduation

Finally I graduated. I never thought the day would come but it did just like Christmas and then it was gone. It seems like it had been a such a long time coming that it is weird to not get up and go to school. School had been what I do. I am going to spend the next few weeks before I start work hanging out with my kids and doing fun things that I haven't been able to.

Joe and I at my graduation dinner.The family.Me talking about something exciting apparently.

Crazy Weather

This is what happened to our house during the F3 tornado that came thorugh early yesterday morning.

If you were wondering, yes this is insulation all over every piece of clothing in the closet. Let me tell you not fun to clean up.

When the roof came off the attic blew up and this was the result.

We are considering ourselves very lucky. Some of the house in the neighborhood were gone and we feel truly blessed that we are all safe and this is all we have to deal with. We are thinking about those families who have to fine somewhere else to live for now. If you want to see more pics of the neighborhood go to http://www.myspace.com/bratymouth01.

Here is a recent on of the kids. As you can see Emma has learned to blow spit bubbles.Me and Emma just hanging out in the family room/kitchen.

Catch up with all of you soon.

Family overview

Joe and I have come a long way since we started. We have 3 kids now and time is flying by. Faith is 5, she will be starting Kindergarten this year. I can't believe that time has just flew by with her. It seems like she was our little baby not too long ago. She is so smart so I know she will do fine. Mommy on the other hand will probably be a wreck. Levi is 3, he is definately our boy. He keeps Joe and I on our toes. He has a smile though that gets him out of almost anything. He is such a sweet boy he loves to cuddle. Emma is 4 months already, she went to the doctor yesterday and is 14lbs. She is definately my chunky baby, her legs have rolls but it is so adorable. When she smiles (which is alot) you can't help but kiss her.

Graduation for me is coming in just a couple of weeks. I can't believe that I almost done with nursing school. I thought this day would never come but not I can almost see it.

Joe is doing well also he has a good job and is supporting all of us and taking classes online. Now all we need is for him to keep his health in line.
