Let's see

What can I update with? hmmm. Presley got a CTR ring yesterday at church. Noah got one when he was five and ever since then Pres has had her little heart set on getting one. She said she's never taking it off! CTR stands for "Choose the Right". It's a common Mormon saying kind of like the WWJD fad, but CTR goes way back.
 Noah picked out a cute ensemble today so I had to take a pic. The kiddos are on break for the week and I am excited to not be crazy busy and to just soak everyone in.
Noah is a sucker for one on one time. He loves playing board games with me. He is such a cute little buddy. Today he revealed that the 7th and 8th grade girls always tell him how cute he is when he's heading down from the art room at school. He told me, "only the girls say it, mom!"
 Love, love, love this guy!
 Play doh has been Charlie's activity of choice these days. Josh let him get creative with it the other day. I was biting my lip over the color mixing! 
 He was so proud!
 Maybe when the kids get to college, they will know what it's like to sleep in their own bed, alone! We put them to bed, shut the door, then check on them a couple hours later and find something like this every night.
 It must be approaching the two year mark since I've seen my sister because I'm finding we video chat more and more frequently. Since I've seen her last she has gotten preggers, had a baby, her daughter started kindergarten and is now full blown reading, her baby is feeding himself and turning one soon, and her other son has just gotten more and more darling.
I begged Anora to show off some of her mad reading skills. I love how Jack in the background sucks his thumb and holds his ear. Love, love, these guys too.
In other news, we are waiting and waiting to hear back from jobs. UGHHHHHH! Have you ever read "Oh the Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Suess? It talks about the waiting game being the worst ever. Dang true, I tell you.

agh. i hope you hear back about jobs soon! i hate the waiting game with that. been there before too.
your kids are too funny sleeping like that!! that cracks me up. max is such a light sleeper it would probably drive him nuts to have arms and legs all over the place:) I think it's so very sweet how your kids all love each other. Noah is a complete babe. Just make the kid a shirt that says "watch out ladies..."
