Morgan and her right eye

Today I took Morgan into the eye doctor.  Her right eye has been on occasion crossing.  It just goes to the middle and stayes there for a bit.  We can get her to make it staight again by having her close her eyes or looking some else but we thought it needed to be checked out by a doctor.  We had an appointment this morning and he said it was a muscle thing.  So today we got to order Morgan a pair of glasses.  She lookes cute in them and when we get them in 1-2 weeks we will post a picture of how cute they are. 
Hopefully the glasses will correct the problem. The problem is with the muscle not her eye sight.  However, if the glasses don't seem to be helping when we go back in three months she will have to have eye surgery to help the muscle.  I was kind of taken back with the news and my brain didn't think of the questions I now have but I will put them down in my trusty book and ask them in three months or when we get the glasses, if the doctor is available. 
So there it is, that is all I know so we are hoping and praying that the glasses do what they are suppose to do and no eye surgury is required.... but as in all things time will tell.

Jennifer has a job.

Yes, I know I need to post about Christmas, the new year, Trevor's birthday, etc., etc. but I thought a quick update would be good to have today.
Christmas - wonderful
New Years - in Boise and fun
Trevor's birthday - 36
Jennifer's Job
I have started to work at the Middle School, White Pine.  I go in from 11:05- 1:05 , Monday - Friday.  It helps with all three lunch times.  I rotate between recess, lunch room and hall duties.  It is interesting and fun to be with other adults for the few minutes in between stations.  Thus far I have had to enforce a few rules and due to that made two boys wash lunch tables, take a boy to the principles for kicking and smacking another boy twice in the head and today I got a basketball for the office because a boy was kicking it on to the roof of the building even after I told him not to.  Oh to be in the fourth, fifth and sixth grade.  I can't wait for spring and all of the drama I hear that brings.
So where do the children go you are wondering... well... Morgan and Jason go to friends house a few houses down to "school"  for a hour before Trevor picks them up on his lunch.  They do school work at the Allen's and really seem to enjoy it.  Morgan can not wait to go each day and takes her backpack every day too.  Last week they made an "A" book.  It is so cute!  I have another friend that picks Zach up from kindergarten and drops him off at the Allen's.  It seems to be working out perfect thus far.

Jason

Jason turned 1 this year.  He is happy, is walking, LOVES pushing buttons of any kind, does some sign (drink, more and please), has nine teeth with several on the way, says a few words, calls Trevor & I both Mama.  He loves cars/trucks, animals, books, snacks, sugar, and to do what ever the older three are doing.

He loves shoes too.  He tries to put any shoe on he finds.  The other day he got on one of Zach's tennis shoes and walked around in it for a few steps,  he is determined.  With being a determined child he has developed this arch he does when he wants something and doesn't get it... it makes me arch my lips upwards just about every time.  Jason has perfected the arch so that his back goes just far enough back that he doesn't fall over.  He loves his siblings and being with them and doing the same things they are doing in one of his favorite things. He will try everything the first time but if he gets hurt then he is done.  He takes his pacifier and fleece blanket with fringe on it for naps and bed time... he is a joy.

Morgan

Morgan turned 3 this year.  She tried clogging, loves babies, Barbie, animals, to pick out her own outfits, pink, snacks, tells me how she wants her hair, has stopped napping everyday but still seems to sneak one in occasionally.  Likes to do things herself, loves flannel blankets and things she is as big as the two above.

Our Morgan is perfect for her.  She is busy, busy, busy but a good busy.  She entertains herself well, is a wonderful sister, a great helper and I love her for it.  However, if you can't find her look in her room she is probably in Katie's stuff.  Playing her Nintendo ds, in her chap stick, books, jewelry, or whatever else she can find.  She is great at doing things herself, being a little sneaky, and always, always being adorable.

Zach

Zach is in Kindergarten and enjoys it. He turned six, played soccer, likes his hair spiked, in in clogging and is excelling at it, likes his movie/t.v. and rather enjoys his desserts/candy.  He still loves pencils, things that fly, drawing with a pen, Nerf guns, balls in any size, shape or color and he loves his room clean.

He loves his room in order and get all kind of anxiety when some one wants to play in it, they just might mess it up.  He love to be active: jump, run, wrestle and is getting braver about trying new things each year.  He is doing well at school and normally tells me about snack first and then the rest of the day.  He is a joy when he is happy.  Some times he claims that life is wicked boring but he eventually finds something to do.  He can grove with the rest of us and can spin a pencil faster than anyone we know... and several of us have tried and well... we can say a lot of laughter came of it.
