Update

Well it's been a little while since i've blogged. A lot has been going on aroung our house the past few weeks, so here it is.....Luke has been working really hard to get the shop open and running. They just have to wait until the gates are put up, then its pretty much smooth sailing from there. As for me, i have been taking a CNA class and really enjoying it so far. SOOOOOO much information to remember in 8 weeks. My class is only 2 nights a week for 4 hours.
Maddy is loosing more teeth and has no problems just ripping them out by herself. She's almost done with the 3rd grade...only 20 more school days! Paige is such a good helper as always and will play with her little sisters when needed too. She has a school opera comming up and i cant wait to go see it...she is a mermaid. :o) Bailey is just Bailey...she just turned 3 and STILL wants nothing to do with getting potty trained. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. :o) Hayden is so fun to have around. She just turned 1 and is always making us laugh with her funny faces. She loves to just walk/run around the house. I cant believe how fast she is growing up, along with the other girls. So thats a little update for now, and i will post some pictures soon.

Some misc. pictures from the past few months

been a while

I've turned into a bad blogger :o) Just an update with us Stevens'....
Luke is finally getting his shop built and it is pretty big and he loves to take the kids out there to just ride their bikes around and the kids do like it too. Me, i have gotten into making beanie caps and the girls are attempting to make them too...for some reason they get it all mixed up...i keep asking them how they do what they do cause all you have to do is go around in a circle! I also have gotten into making wheat bread and using my wheat and grinder...the recipe i found isn't that great but its good with butter and jam. :o) Madison is being Madison...she gets glued to the TV and so i tell her she has the "Parker" syndrome. (Parker being Bret's friend) So i try to get her to read or draw or something other than TV. Paige is still my awesome little helper, she will watch the 2 little ones if i need her to while i get something done. She makes me laugh when she talks like a "minion" ha ha ha if you have seen despicable me, you would laugh at her when she does her "whaaaa" :o) I keep telling her that she needs to be a minion for Halloween this year. We'll see what happens. Bailey....is being a almost 3 year old. She is very frustrating at times so we usually don't go too many places til she grows out of her fits. she is obsessed with "cars". She will play with them for hours which is nice for me. :o) Hayden is growing way tooooo fast. She has 4 teeth now and is really trying hard to walk on her own! She still crawls most of the time or walks along the couch. Her hair drives me crazy cause she wont keep anything in it, so she always has hair in her eyes.
So that is basically all we have been up to lately.
