Pantera and Nick can't be around each other at school due to an unhealthy relationship. She has been so much happier the past couple days because of this. Last week we were reading scriptures and she was bouncing around not listening like usual. Jess asked her if she could tell him what he just read to her, knowing she had not been listening. She replies "I don't know, must be Isaiah!" She drew a card for her dad's birthday with a picture of him on it. As she is drawing she says "Do you know how I learned how to draw dad? Ms. K taught me! She showed me how to draw Martin Luther King and now I can easy make dad!"

Laptops
Our cat is very strange. He will sit next to Amari and let her pull his fur, but runs away if Zeke is near. Amari loves him so much and makes the cutest noises when she sees him. She is verbalizing a little more, if I go to the freezer she perks up and says "Pawpop!?!" for otterpop. She is getting pretty mobile, but only if she wants something. She also has a really bad attitude and she laughed when someone farted the other day...wait she's the 3rd child....the curse continues...
Zekie, my Zekie. He got a toy story laptop for Christmas, but it came with activity cards that will soon be no more. So I got him a different one hoping to phase the old one out. Oh no, it is now used for networking and they have to run all the time! I thought I was really clever for church this past week by getting a vinyl cling set instead of the felt one he had been playing with during sacrament. M-E-L-T-D-O-W-N!!! When they wouldn't stick to the pew he lost it...over and over again!

Little Green Man Child
"Pretend I'm scared." Actually, this is the look I get when I ask her to clean her room or if she needs a dose of tylenol. Tonight Pantera was prancing around the house in a long sleeved shirt, leggings, high heels, and a bathing suit. "I work for Jabba the Hut." She has taken it upon herself to befriend a boy on the bus. She wrote him a note on really girly paper, filled with hearts that said "I love you. You are spashel to me." I asked her if she loves him and she said just as a friend, then I got to explain what sending mixed signals means. Having a girl is so fun lol!

Christmas and Nick
Christmas was great! We had my parents and younger sister in town, so nice to be with family for the holiday!
Zeke's presents were pretty much all toystory and Pantera's were starwars. Yay for a theme lol!

Last night Pantera asked if I would paint her face which lead to a photo shoot. She was so funny "Now pretend I'm a fairy, now pretend a dog is chasing me, now pretend I am scared..." She still loves to dress up. When she was in her room today she asked me "Mom, have you seen my Darth Vader cape? Ugh, I guess I'll just be a ballerina." I laughed pretty hard about the alternative.

A little shout out....
I just wanted to give a shout out to all 3 of my kiddos...they all used the potty the past 3 mornings!!! That's old news for Tera and Amari (Amari has been using the toilet about 3 times a day for 2 months now), so I am especially proud of Zeke. I'm not getting my hopes up, butr it is a little progress.
Papa,. Pizza Grandma (my parents), and Samarah are in town and the kids are loving it. Papa even got Amari to roll over several times! If you know Zeke it usually takes him quite a while to get used to anyone, but he picked up right where he left off with his Papa! Ran right to him and gave him a hug, love it!

Amawni
Where to start?!? Pantera insists on wearing this beanie to school everyday, I think it used to belong to my sister. But it messes up her hair and that bothers me a little...trying to let go...
Speaking of hair, here are the 2 tiniest pigtails I have ever made. I can't wait for it to get a little longer.

Pantera thinks I should have an activity waiting for her when she gets home from school. Sometimes I do...
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then just put the pants on you head.
Zeke has been a crack up lately. He is so sweet with "Amawni" and loves to share his toys with her. As a matter of fact he will only let her play with what he is playing with. I love to hear them giggle as they play together. Zeke is quite the ladies man and is learning some sweet moves from Ken and Spanish Buzz on TS3. He loves to act out the scene where Ken is trying on clothes and I finally got it on video but I can't seem to upload it GRRR!!! But it is HILARIOUS!!! He came up to me on his knees and took my hand, then mumbled many words like Buzz does to Jessie. He is so cute!

Breakfast with Santa

Today was breakfast with Santa. Pantera has always loved Santa. Zeke was happy to see him and gave him a high five, followed by a very formal and random handshake. Amari...well the pictures say it all!
Things have been busy around here, but very good. Pantera is reading like you wouldn't believe. She tells me so much about friends at her school "Nathaniel has a hard time practicing self control" or "Mark put up his middle finger, that's like saying every bad word at the same time...even stupid!"
Zeke thinks he is hilarious, ok he is hilarious. He randomly cracks up at himself, he will just be sitting in the car and start laughing at nothing. He calls hats "Yee-Haa"s and if he is wearing one he is even funnier.
Amari rolled over twice in one day. She had to get shots yesterday, she cried for .5 seconds then the lady looked at her and she smiled so big to get more attention. The lady laughed saying "That is the quickest I have ever seen a kid smile after a shot!"
