Pictures are from our Letter F work and Valentines Week. When we did the letter E a few weeks ago he refused to let me take pictures HAHA. Also excuse the dirty table I kept forgetting to wash off the paint marks, I promise it is clean now!

Preschool
Time is going by so fast....I can't believe that next school year Alan will be old enough for PreK. I'm still not fully convinced HE is ready and so we are working hard at learning all that I have been slacking on. Poor second child! He is keeping me on my toes though :) We are focusing on a letter of the week with a few Holiday Themes thrown in. Last week was the Letter D and he seemed to have a lot of fun, I think he is finally getting the hang of this "Schooling" thing.
We had a few other printables that went along with this one, it's from 1plus1plus1equals1
this duck is from one of our favorite site LearnCreateLove
These Two Dino Activities are from our Other Favorite site Confessions of a Homeschooler
LearnCreateLove again :)
Pinterest Color Sorting Activity, He LOVED it :)
And of Course one for fun. He was dying to make a silly face.
Family Day
Last week we had a family day and headed to the Aviation Museum. We had a blast. The boys were amazed at all of the different planes and Evan had a great being able to answer all of their questions. My camera battery died so I was only able to get 2 pictures :( I took more on my phone but they weren't very good. Here are the 2 I did get.

Happy New Year, a little late.
Okay well for December I kind of fell off the posting wagon. It was a busy month for us. Between being sick off and on, getting ready for Christmas and other obligations it was not stop mental craziness for me. So now we are back to our regular schedule :)
Over all Christmas was good. I was super sick but the kids were happy and that's all that mattered. I was a horrible mom though a literally took 2 cell phone craptastic pictures of the entire day. Mommy Award I know. John's santa present was an Imaginext Castle that he LOVES and Alan got the Imaginext Batcave. They have been great toys and I love that both boys can play with them together. They also got spoiled from grandparents, aunts and everyone else. Thank you everyone!!
New Years was much better. We were all feeling better and headed down to Florida. We always love our time with family and this was a great trip. We spent New Years Eve at my in laws and my Sister in law and Brother in Law came over with their kids. It was a fun night with lots of yummy food. Alan went to bed around 10 and John so tried to make it until midnight but crashed on the sofa around 11:30.
On January 1st, Evan and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary, cannot believe that we have been married that long! My mom kept the boys overnight and we had a great day out together. We went to lunch, the movies, bowling and dinner :)
Anyway I thought I would update. I promise next time I will include pictures!!

Santa
The boys got to see Santa on Saturday at our church dinner. They were super excited and I was SHOCKED that Alan sat with no tears.
This picture was totally unprompted, he said he was telling Santa what Alan wants for Christmas :)

Picture Update
So yeah I didn't make it on the Thankful posts. Oh well, almost on to a new month :)
I have a few pictures from our quiet Thanksgiving I wanted to share and also some outtake shots from pictures of the boys for Christmas items.
We had a nice a relaxing Thanksgiving. Evan had to work from 12-8 so we went out and met some friends for breakfast and then came home in time for Evan to had out for work. The boys and I decided to put up our Christmas decorations in the house and we feasted on our Favorite Chips and Dip :) It was great! I love this time of year. John loves all Holidays and Alan is really excited about Christmas this year. He loved everything I would take out of the boxes to put up :) I can't wait until Christmas morning!!
So enough babble here are my cuties!
Turkey Craft Time

After I got the tree up
Best Money I've ever spent, especially since I got it super cheap last year. Thomas Christmas set with lights and music. Alan plays with it everyday.
Christmas Outtakes. I actually got some great pictures of them, but these are some that didn't make the cut.

Catch-Up
Here is my Catch-Up for the week :)
Let's see what can I share from our week that would be of any excitement haha......
I'll start with my Thankful #4
I am thankful for the Sabbath Day. A day that I can attend my Church Meeting and fill refilled for the week. Thankful for a day to relax with my family and enjoy one another without distractions.
Monday we had our Family Home Evening and did our lesson on the Office of President and what the election was. We had of course discussed it before but We began by Reading Article of Faith #12 and we then went over all of the previous presidents and why voting was important. John loved it and I was suprised at how much he remember from what we read on the previous presidents.
This leads me to my Thankful #5
I am thankful for John. He is such an amazing boy, So loving. I am so glad that I get to be his Momma and receive the love that he gives. He is also a great example to me. And I love that he BEGS us to have family home evening each week and reminds me of what is important in life!
Tuesday John was out of school which was nice because it was also Evan's day off so we had planned to do something fun as a family. Well the weather was not nice and we were all tired so we ended up snuggling up together and watching movies and eating homemade cookies we made together. It was still fun but not what we had planned :)
Thankful #6
I am thankful To live in The United States of America. Where we have the right to vote and for our freedom of speech.
Wednesday was just good ole' wednesday what can I say, Hump day :) I was happy to get a run in.
Thankful #7
I am thankful for Music - for the emotions it can bring. Joy, reverance, sadness, hope.....I love that for me, music can reach right into my Soul!
Thursday was a beautiful day the boys and I spent a lot of time outside after school playing with bubbles and riding bikes. John was SUPER excited that he won the Box Top Contest at school and earned a Gift Certificate to Target :) He also went over 100 sight words at school and earned a book. He was super excited and we are so proud of him. It is so neat to watch him learning to read!!
Thankful #8
Going along with the day I am thankful for BOOKS! I LOVE reading and I love that John does as well. Over the last few months we have really bonded even more with reading together. We are currently reading Trumpet of the Swan and LOVE it!!
Friday, YAY FRIDAY! John finished out a great week at school and Alan and I had a great week together! Evan and I were happy. We had a much needed Date night and Love that the boys are excited for us to go and for Elise the babysitter to arrive. And then we had extra excitement while on our date when we got to hear where our Nephew is heading on his mission!! Brazil get ready for an awesome man!
Thankful #9
I am thankful For Missionaries! I am very thankful for LDS missionaries! It is not easy to pack up and leave all that you know for 2 years and serve others. I am thankful that through missionaries I joined the church and that it is something that blesses my life daily. I am also thankful for missionaries of other churches who also leave the comfort of their homes/lives to go out and serve those in need. You are all amazing examples to me and my family!
Saturday - and finally here we are. Sorry for a long drawn out post :)
Thankful #10
For my Family's Health. We have had some minor colds over the last 2 weeks but I am thankful that overall we are all healthy and strong and able to enjoy the blessings of our bodies!
