Here We Are

It's been awhile. I know. So sorry to those of you wonderful people out there that read my blog. Instead of giving excuses, I will just get into what we have been up too...in random order.
As you can see little Jordy is still as cute as ever. He is 17 months now and still wears size 12 month pants, size 4 shoes and size 3 diapers (that wont mean much to you who don't have little ones I know). He is so happy and fun and good! He is so smart and understands everything we say, but does not say many words of his own. He smiles all the time and is just so handsome...if I do say so myself :) Every time I leave him in the childcare at the gym they tell me how cute he is, and how everyone who comes in there says the same thing. She said one day a women with a 6 month old actually said "I'll just leave this one and take that one!" ("that one" meaning MY baby).

Kevin will be turning 6 next week! (April 28th) He is really into Bionicles and Legos right now. We started a blog for him to show off some of his designs. You can see it HERE. I find that my oldest is the hardest to deal with these days. I thought it got easier the older they get! I really need to re-read my Love and Logic book. He has been doing great in school. Just today his teacher told me how great he is doing in math (he is in Kindergarten). They were reading a story which had a girl with 10 quarters. She asked the class if anyone knew how much 10 quarters was? It took Kevin only a few seconds and he knew the answer. He then proceeded to draw out on the white board how he came to his answer. She was very impressed. I was so proud :)

Kevin and Ashton started playing indoor soccer again. They have played on and off since Kevin was 18 months. Im all about the indoor sports these days. Neither Kevin or I like being out in the cold and chasing after Jordan is easier too. They are in different classes at the same time which makes it easy.

Ashton will be turning 4 in June. He just recently learned to ride his bike without training wheels! He is so proud of himself, and us of him!



Do you see the look on his face? We were all there cheering him on and he was loving it!

As usual, Jordan wanted to do as his brother were doing :)

We are lucky to have a photographer in the family (Michelle Goree) who just happen to get a new camera recently. She was nice enough to try it out on our family which meant we got some cute new family pictures taken! (these were taken at our home)



As for Jeremy and I, we will be celebrating our 10 yr. anniversary this June! He recently got home from a three week job in Arizona. After a couple slow months things have started to get busy for him again. I am always busy with the kids and the house. Two drop-offs and two-pick ups from school a day. Moms Club on Tuesdays, Jordan and I had been doing Gymboree on Thursdays and soccer on Saturday. I have been going to the gym a lot trying to get in shape. Its hard to squeeze it in sometimes, but I've been trying to make it a priority so that I can get some results. I update my day to day happenings on Facebook, which I think makes me a little slower to blog. If your on Facebook you can find me at 'Jennifer Muma Baker'.

Here's a few more of the boys for you...

Love the photos and your stories that go along with them. Thank you Michelle for the photos that include Jen in the group too. That does not happen too often as she is usually hanging on to the camera. What great kids, and each so different and special in their own way. Wish my arms were long enough to give them a hug (which they would probably not like). Keep up the work Jen-you are looking good and it is showing. Love you all. The Good Witch

You are absolutely correct about 'dem boys being cute! Mr. Smiley looks like Jerm when he was a babe but a little cuter I must say, Jerm says that's because of the "little tweeking from his beautiful mom!".
