meet the powers...
Ralphie just turned 10 and is in the fourth grade. He is such a loving and helpful big brother. He enjoys playing tackle football, riding his bike, playing with friends, skate boarding, video games and exploring in his fort in the desert. This past summer he attended surf camp in CA and now that is something that he and Tom can do together. Although Ralphie would rather be playing than be at school his grades are excellent. Straight A's last quarter and honor roll this quarter. Baby Chloe' loves him and would rather be with Ralphie than her own Mother.
Kennedy is turning 8 next week and is excited to be baptized and FINALLY get her ears pierced. We are planning a "fancy” luncheon and dress up party for her and 12 of her friends here at our home. Kennedy got the idea to borrow 13 pairs of Aunt Ali's high heel shoes for the occasion. Alycin has so many fancy shoes.....that the girls will be in heaven. Aunt Ali is going to come and help do make-up and hair. It will be lots of fun! We are so thankful to have her close and a part of our lives. She is our only relative here! Kennedy loves school and has straight A's. Actually, she is quite competitive too. She recently took fourth place in her school spelling bee out of the entire second grade. She loves to ride her bike, bake, draw, and is currently in a little Show Choir Class that sings. She is excited and loves to perform in front of people.
Luke is 4 years old and enjoys pre-school. He is a happy little guy that always has a smile on his face. He loves to give kisses and hugs and often likes to ask “Are you full of love and joy today?” He is full of energy and personality, enough really for the entire family. I can’t believe that so much personality is wrapped up into such a little body. Luke loves to talk especially to strangers. Just this week at the grocery store he introduced himself to a complete stranger……“Hi I’m Lukie what’s your name?” If they don’t answer him then he will keep trying to talk to them up and down each isle until he gets noticed. You really never know what will come out next…..once I told him that I was going to break his fingers if he touched that something again and his reply was….”W E L L if you do then……Heavly Fater will just glue them back on”! I love that kid!
Chloe’ our baby sister is growing up fast. She is 10 months old now and weighs just over 22 pounds. We are so grateful that she is here and a part of our family. Chloe’ is big and bald as ever! She loves to eat her food and if she had more teeth (she only has 2) would down a steak I’m sure! Some of her nick names are Poopers, Lola, Lilli Pea, Birdie and Little Doo Doo. Chloe’ is still not sleeping through the night and loves to wake her Mother about every other hour. She loves to clap, make lots of noise, is crawling full force now and gets into EVERYTHING!
I can’t believe that I’m almost 40 years old! I recently attended my 20 Year High School Reunion in good old Las Vegas and I must say….what a blast. How fun it was to see so many good friends from that time. It was like I was in a time warp. We kind of all still looked the same only some with more wrinkles, balder, chubbier, funnier, but all of us definitely wiser. I am glad that I went.
I am grateful to be a Mother of 4 beautiful healthy children. I’m so thankful that I am able to stay home with each of them. In November I was released from the Primary after 4 years of working closely with the Children. That has been hard on me because I miss them. Church is an important part of our lives and I am a better person because of it.
A few of my favorite things are: spending time helping in the kid’s classrooms, traveling/shopping @ flea markets with my best friend Kim, planting flowers…that make me happy, photography, doing anything creative!
Tom continues to work hard building up Marathon Financial. He enjoys playing tennis 3 times a week with a group of friends and loves to take the kids boating and jet skiing when ever he can. In December right before Christmas he took Kennedy to Hawaii. Just the two of them enjoyed snorkeling and one on one time together. Tom is a wonderful father and great example to our family…..the most adventurous one too! His new project around the house is designing and creating our new back yard. I can’t wait until it’s done!

Oh friend, you are really doing it! Now I feel like I am slacking on my blog! I am so proud of you, what a beautiful family and even I learned some things that I didn't know...Like how smart Ralphie is and does so well in school, how Kennedy went to Hawaii with Daddy, very cool, how Luke isn't afraid to talk to anyone, and how Chloe likes to copy Rosie with the headband oh and also how your husband is a gun lover who only takes pictures with his weapon to keep all of the perps from stocking your family! Good job Tom, I am so scared!
ReplyDeleteI want you to remember who made that bow for you in the first place??? Tom is holding a lighter not a gun! You crack me up!
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right....it was a one of a kind bow! Notice Rosie's is brown and Chloe's is pink. See.....one of a kind!
ReplyDeleteWhat do I have to do to get one of those one of a kind bows? Daisy is outa the loop! She wants to be part of the cool girl's club! Well Tam it was nice to meet the fam. All of your kids are so darling. You forgot the dog though!
