I have a six year old!?!

Okay, so today we had Keia's 6 year Dr's appt. It blows my mind that she is six- it sounds soo old. Anywho- the doctor is asking me questions about Keia, and it felt so good to know that she is healthy and excelling in all areas. I know no one cares about how my kid is doing and I don't want to come across as one of those braggy moms, but I am really proud of this girl and here are 6 of the latest things going on with Keia.

1. Keia has now started gymnastics and is a little obsessed. All she wanted for her birthday was leotards- so we went to having one- to six- thank you family. Her week is now based around the day she has gymnastics. It is the perfect sport for her- she is a perfectionist and has always been my monkey- so she is fearless and precise at it.
2. Keia is doing awesome in Kindergarten- I am so proud of her. She loves learning and currently wants to be a teacher.
3. Keia is a great big sister and loves to TEACH Mattix everything she knows (which to her is a lot), whether he wants to know the info or not.
4. Keia is very friendly- we make a friend everywhere we go.
5. Keia is really observant, especially when it comes to others feelings
6. I couldn't ask for a better oldest child- she is setting a great example so far for the others and I love how independent she is- it helps me to work on my control issues =)

I love you Keia, and you truly are special.

Kind of dark I know, but Keia at gymnastics

Love you baby girl!

I Heart Japan

After watching the footage of the massive Tsunami that hit Japan, I was blown away by the force and power behind the water, to where it could wash away cars, homes, and entire cities! I then thought of a much stronger force and power, and that is prayer. We are praying for you, the beautiful people of Japan.

Dr. Laura

Some of you may not know who this is, but this is Dr. Laura from the radio. Matt loves listening to her- yes that is right- Matt! She is a relationship therapist and rips into people when they call into her show... anywho- she seems to some very Husband supportive, hence Matt ENCOURAGED me to get her book: "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands". Since I am all about improving our marriage (even though I feel it is pretty good myself) I decided to give it a whirl. Conclusion: EVERY WIFE should read her book- it is very insightful and I learned sooo much!!! Women- you may feel he should be the one to change, but if you plan on staying married to your hubby- take matters into your own hands and be the best you can be!!
