We're Still Alive!

Yeah, I've been a little out of the blogging mood lately. I actually did try last night but Blogger was having issues and wouldn't work! So I have alot of ground to cover! First off, Luke and Sadie went and spent a week in Pocatello. They had a blast! Luke wants to go back and see Laci and Colton, Sadie wants to go back and live with grandma. =) In the meantime, we were amazed at how easy it was to only have two kids! And Katie Belle LOVED being able to do whatever she wanted. She did miss them, though, and was happy when they came home. Casey took some time while they were gone to start learning how to draw. He's done a little bit but is going through another book with different projects to do and his first one was a self protrait. So here it is for all to see so when he draws his portrait again you can all see how much he's improved! I hope you'll all be cheering him on! (It didn't really scan very well but you get the idea.)
Sadie and Katie Belle have swimming lessons right now and are loving it. Katie Belle doesn't really get that she's suppose to be learning how to swim but she loves playing in the water. She says she loves splashing. And that's the truth!
And just for fun I had to share this video of the kids learning Chinese with dad. Katie Belle especially liked repeating all the words. They went through some Chinese, Spanish,Greek and Russian. Katie Belle is surprisingly good at it. She sat at the computer going through words herself and quizzing dad for quite awhile! She's good at languages! We went to a Chinese restaurant the other day and when we sat down Katie Belle started saying "Ni hao! Mom, I said Ni hao!" She'd learned to say "hello" in Chinese from one of her games and somehow made the connection when we sat down that it was a Chinese place! I was impressed and so was the Chinese lady that worked there!
