Snow Day!

As many of you know...I have been having a difficult time putting "fun things" into our school schedule! I am just one of those...drive em hard and get the school week done so we can check that week off! Well, thanks to our wonderful Homeschool Group that meets monthly to talk about important issues, encourage one another and just plain ole talk, I have been encouraged to "have some fun"! Being a licensed teacher by trade, it seems like this would not come so hard to me...heck I used to teach KINDERGARTEN! For some reason I just get too worried about the weeks and checking off what we have accomplished! I am working on it so...on Tuesday...when even APS took a snow day...so did we! The kids learned some valuable things too I might add...shapes, shape construction(Math), balance(Science), Creativity (Art), Exercise(PE), just to name a few!

My Little Stars on Ice!

Oops...Jacob's down!

Looking Like a Pro Jake keep it up!

Check out my little Joci!

Look at them Go!

Happy Sunday All!

I just wanted to share some lovely pictures of my "Little Stars on Ice"! Our church's homeschool group organized a lovely field trip for the kiddos to the Outpost Ice Skating rink and boy did my kiddos have a blast! They really have never ice skated and let me tell you they caught on pretty quick! I was so proud of them! Unfortunately Jake took one too many falls on his right elbow and it was swollen so big! But that did not stop him, he's already asking when we can go again! Thanks to my buddy Danielle I have some great shots of them since me and Nathanael were hanging out in the warm areas for the most part! Enjoy!

M.I.A...Part II...Look Who's 4 months!

The Happy Cousin's Playing!

Who Can resist that face!

Checking out the gadgets on the saucer!

So Guess who turned 4 months old on December the 3rd! Nathanael went to the Dr. yesterday and is growing by leaps and bounds! He weighed in at 12.4lbs! Wow that is over a 7lb gain in less than 4 months! Anyway...we all enjoy him so very much. He has started to laugh and crack up at us! He also has moved from his bassinet to his own crib in his own room finally! His new bedtime is 8:30 and he will sleep until 7am! He constantly wants to be sitting up so we pulled out the saucer and he enjoys that for a bit! Where does the time go! What happened to the little 6.3lb baby I brought home? Oh well the times are so special that we all get to spend with one another. Praise the Lord I am able to be home, homeschooling the children and enjoying my little Nathanael.

M.I.A!!!...Part I

Look Who's the big 5-0hhhhh!

Well....Guess it's been a little too long! Life has been a bit crazy! I am going to post two tonight since I am so far behind...Part I

Home again...Home again! Well, I am happy to say that Nathanael's first road trip was a complete success! He and his cousin Aubrey took to the van much better than we ever could have possibly imagined! The 6.5 hour trip was not bad and we only had to stop for gas! Can you believe it with two almost 4 month olds! Anyway...my mom rented a house in Scottsdale for the week and we had a fabulous time! We had a pool, hot tub, and were living it up in a gorgeous Scottsdale home on the golf course. Jacob played a round of 18 holes while Jocelyn swam until she would shrivel up! Nathanael had his first swimming experience and we all had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner! My mom celebrated her 50th birthday and we presented her with a very special photo quilt of the past 50 years of her life! We were able to see family too! What more could we have asked for!

A decade old!

Jocelyn's 10th!

Well...Jocelyn is offically a decade old! I cannot believe how quickly time goes by! This past week and weekend we celebrated Joci's decade of life! She has been such a blessing to our family especially since Mr. Nathanael has been born! She is quite the "little momma"! She loves to change Nathanael's diapers, carry his carseat, push the stroller, dress him, pack and grab the diaper bag, etc.! We celebrated Jocelyn's birthday with a cake decorating party! (Thanks to Vicki!) I must say...the cakes turned out fabulous! On Thursday, November the 13th (Joci's offical bday) Nathanael rolled over from tummy to back! It was so awesome! He is growing faster than I ever possibly imagined! He has been smiling and laughing out loud like crazy! He is such a joy! I have been doing tons of laundry today in preparation for our Thanksgiving/Mom's 50th vacation in Scottsdale, AZ. We will be leaving on Sunday and will be gone through Saturday the 20th! I will post pics and updates when we return!

Growing, Growing....

Mr. Smiles!

Good evening everyone! I hope this post finds everyone well and blessed! We are so happy and blessed in our Moya home! Nathanael is growing by leaps and bounds as are my big babies! Jocelyn and Jacob had their Well-Child check ups today and I am happy to report that I have 2 very healthy pre-teens but WOW have they grown! Jocelyn is in the 90th percentile for her height, 4feet 9 3/4"(should have known that with a size 7 womens shoe!) and Jacob is not far behind her at 4' 4"! What happened to my babies! Nathanael has really started to "talk", smile and laugh a lot! He brings so much joy to all of our lives...we seem to all "fight" over him constantly!
