Quick update

I obviously can't seem to find time to blog anymore.  I have been crazy busy at school and at home.  Now that I'm back to work, I want to spend all of my available time with my kids, therefore, my blog is going to be hit and miss.  So here's a quick update of what's going on in the Pfantz house hold.

Bria:  Bria is trying to talk so much.  She will nearly imitate almost anything you say.  She is really getting good at just saying a few words that she knows how to use to get what she wants.  It is so nice when kids start to talk.  It's easier to figure out what they want!  As far as walking, she's still not doing it.  She could though.  If Ryan and I get on complete opposite sides of the room (we're talking 10+ feet apart) Bria will walk to the other person.  She might fall once, stand back up and continue.  She's just not willing to do it on her own without us cheering her on yet.  I know, it will come with time.

Evan:  Evan just had his 4th birthday.  I can't believe it.  It was nice to have all of our family come for the event.  We had a pirate birthday.  We got pirate hats for all the kids (6 of them) and even, somehow, managed to get a picture with all 6 kids in a hat (considering 4 of them are 1 or under).  Evan is such a smart cookie.   People keep asking me why he isn't in pres-school.  I just can justify spending the money when he knows everything he would learn in preschool.  He even knows somethings Kindergartners would do.  Why is that?  I do my job.  Not as a teacher, but as a mother.  It kills me how there are parents out there that don't work with their kids.  I know lives get busy, but it's what's best for your kids.

Me:  I just had my 10 year high school reunion.  How to do you get 600+ people together?  I have no idea.  There were other activities planned, but due to other engagements, we only went to the night activity.  It was at People's in Des Moines.  It was nice to see some people that I hadn't seen in awhile. 

 Ryan: Ryan (and sometimes me ;) ) has been working really hard to get the trees ready. This will be our first year of selling Christmas trees. Ryan is so excited. You would not believe the amount of machinery we need to sell trees. So our living room as been the "set-up" place for these items. I'm kind of tired of it all hanging out in my house and really wish Ryan would get it out! Soon enough, soon enough.

That was quick.  Until next time...
