Happy (belated) Birthday Jaida!!!

So next year for Christmas I am asking for a time machine!  Why???  So that when weeks go by and I haven't blogged about IMPORTANT LIFE MOMENTS, I can just hop back in that time machine and blog about the IMPORTANT LIFE MOMENT on the same day it actually occurs!
So,

HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY JAIDA!

(on March 19, 2012)

Yoga anyone???

Today I decided to try my hand at yoga.  Fortunately, when I did this I was all alone since all the kids were downstairs.  No one to laugh at me, no one to ask me questions, and no one to get in the way of my downward facing dog. 

Fahnta, Jaida, and Ezeekai were not so lucky.  With camera in hand, I captured all the graceful moments of their first attempts at yoga.    (Scroll through all the pics cuz at the end there is a video worth watching!)



Jaida is a natural







Fahnta took this pretty serious and as a result, she did great!



Ez is goin....



DOWN!!!







And now, what you have all been waiting for.....

I told you so...

I knew it, i just knew it!!!  I was all gung-ho on this stinkin blog at the beginning and then, SPLAT!  I have not written anything for over 1 month.  totally skipped jaida's bday, ez's bday and probably countless other days that i had been given sooo much that i could have written about, ie...when ez told us that one of his friends at school said a girl in their class was "smokin hot" or when ez "whispered" in doug's ear a cus word that he was called by that same friend.  i totally skipped writing about my last minute trip to Haiti and when maggie got hit by her teacher, my dear friend, mrs. hallman!

man, what a slacker i am.  i apologize yet i don't, cuz I TOLD YOU SO!!!

so, here are a few pix from the last month so that i can at least say that i posted something about some of this stuff.

enjoy family!!!

Mass ice sledding!

The second snow day in a row...all were forced outside to sled!

Unfortunately, since i am so stinking cheap and only have the freebie wordpress site, I can't upload my video of the kids.    But I can direct you to photobucket where it is uploaded.  So, if you are still with me on here, enjoy this video of the kiddos!!!
