Easter adventures
Walkie says, "touch the temple, and the temple will touch you." He climbed all those steps to touch the door. The question of the day was, "What do temples have to do with Easter?" Good conversation.

Wow, I'm actually blogging! My life has been so busy, I honestly haven't had time to sit down and type in ages. Walker decided to wake up and play in his crib, and after quite some time I realized that we were going to have a 2 am party. So I got up with him, and he's just hanging out, playing nicely in the middle of the night. I don't know why?
Someone broke G's crib. It's fixable, but a giant bolt is missing, so I'm not sure how to fix it right this minute. We decided to use this as an excuse to make him sleep in his big boy bunk bed in Henry's room. And he did! Maybe this is a good thing at age 4 to get out of your crib.
Speaking of G. being 4, the night of his birthday I was cleaning his bathroom. He walked in, and as I cleaned the mirror, I politely requested that he not paint the bathroom mirror with his wet toothbrush anymore. He answered without hesitation, "I won't anymore. I'm 4 now." And we probably set a record as he went 10 days without painting the mirror. Tonight he painted only a little spot, and was so embarrassed when I caught him that he never admitted to it, but crumbled in shame still. It was good to see him feel guilty, normally he would have laughed in my face. So I guess he is growing up indeed, just slower than I expected.
Henry registered for Kindergarten this week. He got 100% on the assessment, and the teacher came out praising him for being very smart. We spent the evening trying to figure out who taught him his ABC's? I worked on them with Isaac and Dawson, but neither of them got 100% on their assessment. I'm thinking it was luck.
I'm actually working quite a bit and that is keeping me busy. I technically have 4 part time jobs. I don't even dare list them as they are kind of nerdy jobs. But our goal is to pay off our house, and so we are doing everything we can to get there. Only 13 years to go...oh yeah, that is a loooong time left to go, so we better keep working.
Life is just wonderful at the Low house. Our boys are doing great, Dave and I are happily married for nearly 10 years, and we have hope for wonderful things in the future. God has blessed us more than we deserve.

This week Isaac was spotlighted at school for his honesty. He got an award, and was announced over the loud speaker at school. He's such a good boy, I am so proud.
Today I dropped the boys off at the door for church and instructed them to fold their arms and find our seat at church. They asked why I was dropping them off and I told them so that they didn't have to walk through the snow. Isaac said, "But mom, we don't want YOU to have to walk through the snow." My heart almost burst. What a sweet boy to worry about his mom.

3 & 4
We sometimes refer our kids by numbers. They usually don't catch on. #3 walked into my room the night before thanksgiving. "I'm so thankful for you! I love you Henry!" I said. His face breaks into a huge smile, he runs over to me to hug me and says, "I love you so so so so so so so so so SO much."
#4 enters the room a few minutes later. "I'm so thankful for you G. I love you!" He says, "I KNOW that."
These kids are so unique. I love who they are though!

On Saturdays the boys are paying rec basketball. Dawson scored all 8 points that his team got on Saturday.
I woke Walker up for church and he was clutching a ball in his sleep. He loves balls.
Walker is now on a bottle and such an easy baby. He just walked halfway across the room. I'm not letting him grow up anymore!!!
G Jesse can be found combing through eBay, amazon.com, and many other websites searching for Legos and other Christmas presents. He doesn't read, write, or type. So how does he do it? I have no answers, but he does it entirely on his own. I'm really worried he's going to start buying stuff.

Walker *hic* turns *sob* one. Waaaaahhhhh!
Despite my best efforts to stop time, Walker woke up this morning a one year old. I'm sooo sad about it. I would like to press the restart button and poof, be back at the hospital in labor right now. This has been the best year of my life, I have loved raising this baby, and loved having him with my 4 other beauties. He has been a delightful baby, very sweet, and very into his mama. He enjoyed Henry's cake yesterday, and I'm trying to work up the courage to make a cake for Walker tonight. (Too much cake!)
Walker is crawling all over and getting into trouble. He can take a few steps, but doesn't believe in himself yet, so generally sits down when he notices he is standing alone. He still refuses the bottle and I figure ill be breastfeeding him until he's 10. He has starting talking a lot. He says mom, dad, duck, banana, this, bye bye, hi, and lots of sounds and gibberish. He is very particular about who holds him, but recently became quite obsessed with his dad. Walkers special feature is his inhaled squeal. He does that all the time, and has for months. It's really cute.
My kids always say that he's the cutest one in the family, that they love him the most, that he is the cutest baby in the world. In fact, though I've tried to tell them otherwise, they just assume I love him the most, because they do. The excitement of holding him and playing with him has never worn off for them, they still get excited for him to wake up. We love our baby and don't want him to grow up so fast!!!!!!
