Joel has been really interested with cheetahs lately. I think that he knows more about them than I do. But I think he could be border-line obsessive:)
He has changed his favorite colors to yellow and black.
On his homework he now writes Joel A. C. B , for Joel Aaron Cheetah Brown
He came home from church with a picture of Jesus, colored in none other than yellow with black spots. Come to think of it, that is how most of his papers from school come home too.
He growls at people as they walk by.
He goes around the house making cheetah calls.
And my personal favorite, yesterday he informed me that he would like to go to Africa for his Birthday, catch a baby Cheetah, then bring it home!!!
Sounds pretty simple right???? Luckily I was able to convince him that Africa is a long ways away and that Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't want a cheetah living with them, so we settled on going to the Zoo instead :)
He loves to learn and I love it!!! It will be really interesting to see what career path he will choose to take when he gets older. But I'm sure whatever it will be, he will give it his all.

Hookers
Justin and his dad were putting the trampoline up for the kids to play on, and Joel was helping them. They had the frames set up and Grandpa was getting the box of springs so they could attach the mat. While waiting for Grandpa, Joel turned to Justin and said........
"Dad, we need to get some HOOKERS"
He was talking about the springs, but we all got a good laugh from it :)
31
Yesterday was my hubby's birthday, so I thought I would share some photos of that day :)
It was a good day, complete with Monster Jam (actually this was part of his present from his parents that Justin and Joel went to a week B4 his birthday),
a lunch just for two ;)
A "suprise" party, Joels idea, (and a Jazz blanket that was made the day of his Birthday)
some fun entertainment and lots of love!!!!!
Over all a good day. But it ended with 1 kid throwing up, and 3 kids wetting the bed. I guess you can't have it all.

Settling In
Well it has been a week since arriving in Utah and it has been filled with some fun adventures.
First off A huge THANK YOU to everyone that helped us move!!!! We couldn't have gotten it done as quickly as we did. Moving is never fun, but it is so much easier when you have wonderful people to help. Thanks again to the wonderful Ellensburg clan, we miss you guys already!!!!
Things here have been going pretty well. Joel started his new school this week, and it has been different. He now has weekly homework packets, full of stuff that I never learned until 3rd or 4th grade. For instance pronouns. I still struggle with knowing the difference between pronouns, nouns, verbs ect. This should be very interesting, but hopefully a good learning experience. He hasn't made any friends yet, but he tells us that he does play with "womens", (aka girls) during recess. But he is loving every minute he gets to spend with his Grandma :)
Bailee is pretty happy and does her Bailee thing. Her favorite thing to do is sneak out of the house, go to the front door and ring the door bell. She gets a kick out of our reaction when we see that it is her at the door. But she keeps asking me when she gets to go to school and it makes me so sad. Headstart here isn't letting any more kids enroll until the middle of March. I guess I need to start thinking of things to keep her busy :)
Sydney has been fun. The night we got here she spiked a fever, threw up, followed by diarrhea the next day. Then we noticed that her eczema was spreading and getting really bad, accompanied by a rash covering most of her body. After a couple of days we decided to bite the bullet and take her into the doctors. Turns out she has strep throat. That was the furthest thing from my mind, but it did explain why she was so cranky. Yeah that was fun, did I forget to mention that she fell in to the window well. It is a pretty good drop, but she managed to escape without any marks to show for it. Poor little girl. Despite that she has had a lot of fun with her aunts and Grandparents.
Justin and I have started working out together, which has been really nice, but I realize just how out of shape I am :( But lucky for me I am married to a Personal Trainer, who can fix that :)
Life is good and I feel so very blessed!!!!
