The Things You Are, The Things You Never Want To Lose.
It sure is a busy life I lead. I was thinking last night that not only do I need to update my blog, I also need to write in my journal. I used to be really good about recording my thoughts in my journal every few weeks. I checked today and the last time I made an entry was July of 2010. That is major slacking on my part.
I'm so afraid that I'll forget all the meaningful things that have happened to us over the years. I have such a horrible memory. I can hardly remember Venus and Sequel being babies. If it weren't for photos I'm pretty sure I wouldn't remember anything at all.
So I try and make a habit of updating my journal with where we are now. I'm going to do that a little later but I thought I'd do it here too.
Joelie is a mess! Casey is always teasing that if we had her first, we wouldn't have had more kids. :) I still can't get over how beautiful she is. I'm always looking at her and thinking about how she surpassed my expectations.
The girl loves to sing and dance. She can sing just about any song she hears twice. One that we hear a lot is What's My Name (Rihanna) or any song by Big Time Rush (thanks to Chase). Her dancing normally takes place in dress shoes or while standing on something, like the ottoman. Too cute!
She is so smart with a huge vocabulary. She amazes me everyday with how much she knows and she is so loving! She is all about hugs and kisses and is a good mommy to her baby dolls.
Chase. My baby boy. I can't believe he starts school in a few months. I'm not ready. Chase is so much fun. He loves to go places and do things. The kid could live in a hotel and be happy forever. He is so funny, always being silly. I have some amazing videos of him that he records with my phone and we post on his Youtube Channel!
Chase is very loving. He always has to kiss me when I leave the house and before he goes to bed. He's so handsome with his dimples and the only lefty of the clan (minus Casey). I'm going to be a mess come August. One of my favorite things about him is how easily happy he is!
Pacey is my smart, emotional boy with amazing hair! He is very handsome. He has the classic "middle child syndrome" which breaks my heart. I think we may have gone overboard with the babying when he was younger and now we are trying to correct our mistakes. It isn't easy.
Pacey has a big heart and loves hanging out with his brothers. He gets along really well with Chase. I think they will be good buddies forever! He reads like a pro and makes good grades at school. He loves playing his iPod and video games. His current favorite, Plants Vs Zombies! He has such a beautiful smile and a contagious laugh that I never get tired of hearing!
Sequel is my all-American kid. He is good at everything he does. He struggles a little bit in school but is about to graduate from fifth grade in two weeks! He got a suit to wear and everything. I couldn't be more proud of him! Sequel is hotheaded (kinda like his mom) but he is so sweet and loving to his family, especially Joelie. He is such a great big brother!
Sequel has lots of friends and spends so much time out of the house. He's very active and quite creative! He got his braces off a few months ago. So handsome!
Venus is a crazy preteen. He is so funny and is always joking but the kid can flip the switch and carry on some crazy in depth conversations. He is so freaking hardheaded and drives me nuts but I'm thinking it has a lot to do with age? I hope. He struggled this year in school but I think it had more to do with being lazy than anything else.
One of my favorite things about him... his smile. I don't get to see it often but when I do it melts my heart. He's a cute kid. Smart too. He spends every minute of his days locked in his room on Skype and playing online games. I wish he did more with us as a family but I'm glad that he's happy and having fun.
I think that's it... until next time.
