Been a long time!

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated and even longer since I have posted pictures! As you know I don't have the internet at home, and it's been kind of hard to get to the library lately. The last couple of posts have been from my mom's and her computer wont take my picture card. Kirah asked me to come over to her house to watch her adorable baby Kimberly for a little while so I thought that I might as well do a quick blog while I'm here.
Ariana started kindergarten the end of August, and turned 6 in September. She loves school and is doing great. She is learning to read and write very well. She loves to draw, and since she mostly draws huge closets full of different styles of clothes, she has decided that she wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up.
Gerry just turned 5 a few weeks ago. He is his normal hyper self, and hates being stuck at home while Ariana gets to go to school. When she comes home she likes to teach him what they were learning that day, so he will be ready to start school next year. He and Ariana both got glasses last month. To my surprise they have both done very well at taking care of them and keeping them on. I got glasses when I was 5 and I never kept them on!
Anela is 18 1/2 months now and getting so big. She loves to follow her big brother and sister around. She just wants to be one of the big kids. Luckily the other two are very good with her, they don't get annoyed with her following them around. She loves to help me out with the house work, which usually means unloading the dishwasher as I load it, and unfolding the laundry. She also loves to sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Hopefully she will still want to help out when she is old enough to actually help.
For those of you that we don't see often, you may be surprised by the pictures. The kids have done some major growing since the last pictures that were posted!
There are pictures of our kids, and some of them with their cousins who came to Utah over the summer.
Enjoy!
