This awkward moment brought to you by..

A few weeks ago I went into the bathroom to grab a feminine hygiene supply. Apparently Pantera saw me and she decided she needed to discuss this with me. "Mom, are you menstruating?" Uncomfortable pause from me, "Yes, yes I am." Pantera replies "I thought you stopped after you were done having babies." "No Pantera that's called menopause, I am still too young for menopause." "Oh, ok. I am glad we talked about this, I wasn't sure how to bring it up."

Yesterday as I was getting everyone ready for church I slipped and fell on my butt. I automatically felt sick and woozy. About 5 minutes later I passed out. When I came to my vision was crazy blurry and I couldn't think straight. I got to go the ER instead of church. I broke my tailbone and passed out due to pain (most likely). So yeah, I broke my butt.

Zeke is 6

 My cutie Zeke turned 6 on Friday!!! He had a Star Wars birthday complete with Master Yoda cake and our sweet neighbors who he invited because they collect star wars stuff and have let him borrow their movies. We have such great neighbors. He wanted mostly "character encyclopedias" and did get 4 of those as well as some other awesome gifts.

He loves to sit and read these over and over again, or jump around in between pages. He is doing so great in kindergarten, adjusting so well to a whole new schedule. He is very quiet with most people, but such a goofball when you get to know him. I can't believe how fast the past 6 years have flown by. I am so lucky to be a mom to these wonderful kids!!!

Seneca's 1!!!

 This pretty little lady turned 1!!!

 She is still the biggest mama's girl on the planet. She still cries whenever I put her down or if I leave the room. She is almost walking, Jess claims she took a step towards him, I think she was trying to run from him (not the mama!). She loves to pick on her siblings, if she can get a rise out of someone she is quite pleased with herself.

 She is my little sweetheart, I am so glad she is a part of our family. She always makes me feel loved.

We love you Seneca girl Happy Birthday!!!

 It's amazing that I don't have any more time with just 3 kids at home than I did with 5 at home! Amari is so much like Pantera the way she needs to be entertained ALL THE TIME. When Pantera is home they play so much together that I can do other things, it's been an adjustment.

Katurah and Pantera both got stung by bees for the first time over the past few weeks. It is so scary when you don't know if they are going to have a reaction or not. Pantera screamed WAY louder then Katurah did. Katurah told everyone "Bee bite me!" Pantera was stung right before school so I had to give  her Benadryl and she got to tell all of her teachers to take it easy on her, I think they all did too.
She is loving school still, she even got a trapper keeper type folder that she thinks is so amazing.

Katurah loves to pretend she is a dog. Some of her puppy names are "Pound Puppy, Buttshy, Baby Puppy." She makes training time with our real dog very interesting because she has to be involved. I use birthday cake oreos for training so she sits and rolls over very well. She is also into star wars, she assigns us all characters to be "Mame's Luke Skywalker, mame's Han Soyo, mame's Jabba a hut, mame's R2R2, I Watto." She always makes Pantera be Jabba the hut and she is ALWAYS Watto.

 Zeke and I watched episode V Friday night. At the part when Han kissed Leia I asked him "Are you ever going to smooch a girl like that?" He replied "Yea, you!" I also asked if he ever wished he had the force and he said no because if he tried to turn the pages to his books they would turn to fast when he lifted his hand. I made him a milkshake, because that's what we do on stay up late nights, when he was all finished he handed me his empty cup and with a sneaky grin said "Here you go you can have the rest." When I pretended to be so disappointed he happily said "Gotcha!"

Seneca is into everything all the time. I can't believe she is almost 1. I also can't believe she is still so overly attached to me. My dad came back in town to finish moving and when she saw him she just cried. And everytime he talked to her for the first day he was here she would burst into tears. She is so funny and fun with ME and her siblings, but such a pill with anyone else.

 Amari and I were playing hide n go seek and she was so proud of herself because she "Made a trap to trick you, so you will think it is me." Her trap is pictured above, a hula hoop and a koosh ball...looks just like her, boy was I fooled! She loves American Ninja Warrior and says she is going to be on the show when she is older "Mom, do only people with awesome moves go on American Ninja Warrior?" Yes, she replied "Then I will be on it." She was swinging on a swing and taking snacks from the table at the same time and she said "I am like the American Ninja Warrior, but of snacks." I think we have a new show in the works.
