January

We had a few non freezing days when the sun came out so I packed up the kiddos and we headed to the zoo!

Naomi's first ride where she was actually hanging on herself.  You can't really tell but she was so excited to ride like her brothers!

Here are the boys "racing" their animals...

Oh the joy of riding in a circle to music and lights!

Naomi is now the favorite of the cats I think mainly because they realize that other than getting a poke in the eye every once in a while, she is pretty harmless, and slow!

And she just loves her tiger!

We decided to start having the boys do chores, and with that a way to chart and a reward system.  We wanted them to learn to always pay tithing first and to also always put some money away to saving before spending it so I found this great idea on pintrest and thanks to my uncle stan, have a fun 3 jar system that sits in a box.  To help them with taking ownership, I let them paint them!

 Now I just need to get some handles and label them!

A fun picture of the kiddos watching a show, Naomi of course has to be right in the middle of everything right now.
