Weston

Our Mr. Weston...we love him!

I am going to try to do a post about each kid (with a current picture)...just to give this blog a bit of an update!

Weston is 5! He goes to "Sunshine Sharing Preschool" on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. His preschool teacher, Mrs. Rosie, lives across the street....and she gives him a ride to school in the morning. He loves getting to be the first one to school...he gets to set up the tables and chairs. Plus, they have horses and chickens at his school! So, he pretty much loves it!

At home, Weston and Connor spend a lot of time playing....and fighting. They get into some of the BEST arguments...over the silliest things! I try to just laugh it off...or else I'd be yelling at them ALL day.

Weston has also discovered the art of eating. He has told me more than once lately that he "loves to eat food!". I used to wonder if he'd ever get an appetite! Now I don't think he goes more than 45 minutes without eating something! Our grocery bill has seriously reflected his growing appetite. (No joke! I feel like I am going to the store all the time to re-stock the pantry!)

He loves to have oatmeal with honey and cinnamon in the morning. The honey has to be stirred in...the cinnamon is not. (it matters apparently...)

Weston tells me that when he grows up, he is going to live in Texas...and that I can come and visit him. Or, if he has a plane, he will fly and get me.

Weston loves to ride his bike, or Adelin's....or any bike.

He likes running through the sprinklers and eating otter pops to stay cool.

He is also very good with Cameron. He will hold him in his lap and then stick out his hand and ask for the pacifier...whether Cameron is fussy or not.

Weston is very excited to start kindergarten this year! He is looking forward to recess and making friends!

Weston and Connor have some of the best arguments!

I overhead one they were having in the back yard the other day.

Connor is holding a stick.

Connor: Yes it IS a magic wand!

Weston: No it's NOT!

Connor: It IS!  And I will turn you into a Smurf that is blue!

(I wish I could mimic his voice and attitude here. He punctuates each word)

Too funny.

Okay. Now they are playing fetch. Same stick that was the magic wand...but now Connor is throwing it and Weston (the dog) is fetching it.

Good times boys....good times...

Connor Says...

We were eating dinner tonight...and talking about the lessons we had at church.

Connor usually gives us a run down of what he had for a snack in nursery. "Fishy cwackers, pwetsols and Cheerios". :)

Today Weston told us that he learned about the Holy Ghost. And Connor goes..."Oooo...scary! Ghosts scare me."

So innocent and cute. Made us laugh. :)

Falling To Heaven: By James L. Ferrell

If I were to make a list of books I've read that have helped to re-shape my thinking, this book would be on that list. So, I am recommending it to you. (Whoever "you" is...could be no one if no one reads this!) :)

A favorite part? ..."Two practices describe what might be considered the secret of the meek....This is the magic combination: Focus on our own sins and upon others' virtues. Do this, and our teaching, our thinking, our befriending, and our parenting will all be transformed for the better." 

I love that part because I know from experience that it is true. I feel so much more contentment in my life, (no matter what else is going on) when I focus on by own salvation and look for the good in the people around me.

Cameron Lars Flake

I am finally posting pictures of the baby! I have more on my other camera...but these will do for now! I am going to post about the day he was born...eventually! 

Cameron is such a sweet baby. He is growing fast! Last week I weighed him and he was a whopping 12 pounds! That means he gained 3 pounds in a month...glad it was him and not me for once!

The only pictures I have of me pregnant with Cameron
 were taken by one of the kids while they were playing with my camera.

Cameron, fresh from the "oven"!!! :)

Ready to leave the hospital... 

A rare moment (in his early days) of  having his eyes open!

All the boys together.

Snuggle time with big sister Addie

 

"I'm watching you!!!"
