My oh my how time flies....

So I was sitting here tonight looking at all of the blogs of the people I know- and some of those who I have lost contact with, and I realized- I am horrible at updating this thing!! It seems like only yesterday I updated you all- and I think it was last month!!!

Things are going really quite well here. I am changing things up still, but life is slowly starting to make sense and level out! I have started my first job this past week teaching Preschool for one of the local school districts, and I have to say that I love it! I am still hoping for a Kindergarten position in the fall- but only time will tell!

Emily has had an exciting month, we started off with her first Thanksgiving program. Her part went as follows:

Fat Turkeys are we,

We sleep all night in a tree

When the cook comes around

We wont be found

And that's why we're here you see!

Fat Turkeys are we

Gobble Gobble Gobble.

She was very cute and wouldn't stop smiling. She enjoyed Thanksgiving and seeing her cousins- couldn't stop smiling!The third week of November came- and so did Emily's Birthday. Here she is with her castle in the clouds birthday cake. She is very excited to be four- she feels so old! After her birthday both Emmy and Caleb came down with a pretty nasty case of Hand Foot and Mouth. They were both pretty miserable. In an effort to get Emily's hair out of her face I braided it- unfortunately I don't know what when wrong exactly.

Caleb has been having fun as well. He has been enjoying being a boy- Here are some good examples:

Here he is enjoying the first snow of winter- he couldn't quite figure out where that white stuff was coming from.

His awesome Mohawk.

And Finally his tractor. He uses this tractor in some of the most interesting ways- he pushes it across the room, he runs it across the room, he sits on the front and rides it across the room (that is what he was doing in the pictures- I just couldn't get them snapped quickly enough) he loads his favorite toys in it- I think it is his favorite toy.

Emily and Caleb get along so well- they are always having fun, and give each other loves often- this is right after family prayers-partial love partial wrestle....

They sure do have fun!

Just wanted to give a little update!

Things are going well here! Got my first Job offer- very exciting stuff! I think Emily was more excited than I was! What a girl.

Emily and Caleb have been out of school for the past 2-3 days. Caleb has been sick for about 4 weeks running so he went to the doctor today. Hopefully we will get this all figured out soon. Emily I think has just needed the attention so she has been "sick" with Caleb. She enjoys the cuddling though- and is getting very excited for her birthday! She still insists that she is Emily Jean Lima Bean- and is getting very good at giving excuses to get out of any and all work. My personal favorite is, "Mom, I cant I am sick.....my tongue hurts...."

I wish I had some good Caleb stories for this post- but he has just pretty much been a puddle for quite a while. He has one or two good days a week. He is very cuddly lately though- and working on his mischievous smile!

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween!

Hey all! Lots of things have been happening lately in our lives. You might notice the changes in the website address and name. The three of us have changed our names- So if you start getting information from the Gibbons' family you will know it is from us!

Emily has been so busy with school, she is learning so much! She knows at least ten letter names and is busy writing not only her name, but also Caleb's and is attempting every other word she can! What a smart little cookie. She had a lot of fun the other night trick or treating- she kept informing everyone that she was a horse- because of course cowgirls ride cows not horses!!!!!! Recently at church she informed the primary chorister that her name was Emily Jean Lima Bean Gibbons. The chorister gave me quite the look and then just smiled and prompted Emmy to answer the question.

Caleb is quite the little boy. He is brave and daring but still hesitant over certain things. Tonight we had out an electric train that moved on a track- interestingly enough the train scared him to tears- yet he will stand up on just about anything and climb onto everything- even the quilting frame Grandma has set up. He enjoyed being a duck for Halloween. He loved wearing the costume- and the tights and cried when I took them off. He definitely handled the duck feet much better than Emily ever did. He was quick to figure out how trick or treating at the church worked- and made sure to smile perfectly at every candy giver.

Ever have one of those nights where you just can't sleep? Maybe these pictures will help!

Happy October!
