Ellie is 2 right now and she has been the sweetest little baby. She is hilarious and is such a pleaser. (most of the time, she is now having her 2 year old tantrums) She has been such a joy in my life and is a momma's girl. She loves her baby dolls and is a good cuddler.
Hailey??? There is so much to say about her. Honestly, she is a stinker most of the time. She is a slob, she loves to fight with her siblings, and she hates to listen to her mom. But you know what by the end of the day I might be really mad at her but in my heart I truly love her and think of all the great things about Hailey. She in fact is really talented. She is now on the Pre-team for gymnastics and trains 4-5 hours a week. Her teachers comment on how strong she is. You should take a look at her arms. They are buff. I've been doing weights for years and still can't get the shape she has. Her splits are literally perfect. She likes to sing. She plays piano and of course her goal in life is to be the class clown. She thinks she has to make everyone laugh too. From my point of view Hailey is a very pretty girl. In person, her blue eyes just pop out with her brown hair. (their from me, of course haa)
Chloe is such a good helper and listener. Chloe used to be really shy. So I put her on a dance competition team last year to help with her shyness. Well, it helped her alot, in fact, toooo much. She has gotten a little sassy. I tried to convince her not to dance this year but she loves to dance now and loves to compete. The only other time Chloe gets competitive is when Hailey challenges her to anything. I try to seperate the two from the same activities. Chloe plays piano, likes to sing and loves to do art. In fact, for Christmas she got art lessons from a Real Art teacher. She wants to be a designer or an artist when she grows up. We also do a scrapbook class together once a month. Anything she can design she will. She always has coloring crayons or pencils of some sort, and a pad of paper in her hands. Always drawing, Always drawing, Always drawing. She is getting to be really cute. Robert teases her about how she is growing into her cheeks. Chloe wanted me to add that she is really tall, smart, and beautiful. (which she is)
Forrest is my oldest. He has such a special place in my heart because he is my only boy and he is not as dramatic as my girls(which they take after their father) Forrest is really a good kid. He is very responsible and loves to help out with Ellie. And Ellie loves him. She calls him her FoFo. He is very kind to me. (really most of the time) Forrest is sickenly natural at everything he does. He plays soccer and is one of the best, he's good in school, he plays piano, he is very handsome, played football this fall for the first time and was actually really good. He wrestles and is really good. He just joined the ski club and is good at that too. In fact, when we go skiing he is down the hill before I can blink. I know what your thinking that this is such a brag thing to say but it is so true. I hate it too because as a kid I wasn't great at things. I had to work at everything I did and still do. Where he gets it I don't know and I am not going to admit that it is from his father. He is just a good kid and can be very shy. My favorite thing about Forrest is that he will sit with me at almost 11 and have a great conversation. He still tells me things and I hope that I can keep that relationship for the rest of my life.
I hope that this just tells you so far about my family and will leave what Robert and I do for another day. I write these things because I am proud of my family and all that they do and accomplish. I was very shy as a child and feel like I missed out on opportunities. It won't happen with my children because they have a good sense of themselves already and as I watch them grow it gets better and better. ( plus they have a father that is a good pusher hahaha)
