Spelling Bee BuZzZzZz

Alexus got 5th place at her spelling bee. She now gets to study over the holiday in order to get ready for the district one. Wish us luck on getting her ready while traveling.

Spelling Bee

Alexus has her first spelling bee in a few days. She has been working so hard. She doen't know all of the words that they gave her, but omg at the list. I think she will do good. Most of the time if she takes her time she can pronounce them out, and then spell them correctly. She is just too smart. I am so proud of her and Shelby. They are both doing really good in school this year.
I will try and update this before we leave for the Holidays.

In case I don't get to I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Christmas Ornaments

So this year the girls and I made homemade candy cane ornaments. I am not sure if they are going to work out. They have been setting almost 24 hours and the are still looking brittle as heck. I may have to end up finding something else for them to give out. I thought they would be really cute because they are red and white twirled. We were supposed to be anyways. They are mostly pink. This has become a tradition for me and the girls to make our families homemade ornaments every year. It started out with us making simple construction paper ones to now making ceramic ones. They have turned out really good every year except this year. Oh well guess I will try and find something else to make in case.

Thanksgiving

Hope you all have a Great Thanksgiving. I just want to take a minute and say what I am thankful this year.

Family: No matter what you all have been here for Andy and I and for that I am so grateful. We LOVE you all so much.

Friends: Our friends back home and the new ones we have made in each state we have lived in. Without you all it would have been a lot harder to move away from our home town.

Our Kids: I know they can be pain in the butts, but they can be the sweetest lil things I have ever seen. They see me or one of their sisters cry and run to find out what is wrong.

Texas: Wow I never thought Andy and I would live back in Texas as long as we were military, but we are back in the sweet state.

The Military: Most and formost without the Military we wouldn't have our 4 beautiful daughters. The Military has given Andy the job he has and the schooling he has received. He loves what he does and for that I am SO thankful.

The girls wanted to say what they are thankful for also.

Alexus: I am thankful for my pets, my family, my school, the Air Force, and my friends.

Shelby: I am thankful for flowers, friends, the whole world, our house, family, and my parents.

Science Fair

I thought I had updated this but I hadn't :(

Shelby received 4th place at her District Science Fair. :) There was about 20 or so other kids that participated. I am so proud of Alexus and Shelby this year. They both are really enjoying school.

Science Fair

Shelby won her grade level school science fair, and now she is moving to district. I have to pick up her project today and take it to the other school. Tomorrow she gets to go on her first field trip to it. She is so excited.

Alexus did a project as well, but she didn't place, but she did her best and that is all I ever ask of them. She was so sad and swore she nenver wins anything, but she was one of only a few people in her class to be a *Self Manager* which means she does what is expected of her, and is responsible. She gets other things like 5 minutes on the computer, leaveing for lunch early, extra recess, and a few other things.

Well, I hope everyone is doing good!

We love and miss you all.
XOXOXO

Awards

Last Thursday and Friday I had Alexus's and Shelby's awards ceremonies for school. Alexus made All "A" Honor Roll and got the character award for responsability. Shelby made the All "A" Honor Roll. I am really proud of them. They make sure their homework is done and turned in on time.

Here are the few I got of Alissa. She was busy playing with Mike hehe so she looked off a lot.

Halloween

I took the girls Trick-or-Treating last night and they had a good time, but there wasn't as many people handing out candy this year. They still had almost a bucket full! Here are the pictures I took. The little girls with them are our naighbors Chloe and Makailyn. Chloe is the Southern Belle, and Makailyn is Spider Man.

Charlotte and Trevor Update!

I talked to Charlotte yesterday and Trevor got to come home Tuesday. He is doing really good, and doesn't seem to be having any problems. Yes, this is Charlotte Baker from high school, and she is doing really good. She is enjoying her time with the baby, and says she doesn't want to put him down. Here is a picture she e-mailed me. Isn't he just adorable. I love his camoflage.

Charlotte and Trevor

Charlotte had Trevor and he isn't doing to well. He was only born a week early but his lungs weren't fully developed and his right one keeps colapsing. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. They are a wonderful couple and have been through so much. She said it will be another week before she can try to hold him, and they don't know when he will be able to come home.

Love you all,

Steph

First school bus ride

Here are some pictures of our kitchen since we painted it. I LOVE the way it looks. It changed the look so much. I can't wait to get the rest of the house painted.

Here are the pictures of the girls after their first school bus ride. They were so excited to get to, and were made when we thought that I was going to drop them off this morning. They have been riding it all week.

First Day of School

Well Alexus and Shelby started school this morning and they were all excited. They picked out their clothes last night before they went to bed. Didn't go to bed until like 9:30 and were supposed to go to bed at 8:00. Yeah they didn't listen too well, but they paid for it this morning. They both didn't want to get up. Alexus is growing up way too fast. She helped Shelby on her first morning at school. She took her to the cafeteria and told her what to do and who to give her lunch money, and where to go afterwards. Shelby will hopefully realize she doesn't know everything and it is ok to ask for help. She is such an independant. Here are the pictures I took this morning. I will try to take some this afternoon.

Painting

Today Andy and I decided to paint the girls rooms. We got Ashleigh's and Alexus's painted tonight. Ashleigh picked out Spongebob yellow and Lexi picked out Cinderela pink. We are going to paint Shelby's room tommorow and she picked Tinker Bell purple. I will post some pictures asap.

School

Yay Alexus and Shelby start school in 1 week. I am so ready to get some quietness. We don't get much of that around here. Shelby is SOOOO loud. I am hoping that school will teach her that she doesn't have to yell to get her point across.
Yay for school!

Backyard pictures...

Here are the ones from the backyard. Hope you all enjoy them.

Visit with Lona, and other pictures.....

Some of the pictures are from when Lona came to visit us, and some are of the girls playing in the backyard. We had a really nice visit with Lona, Adrian and Jacob this last weekend. We took the kids to the park, and let them all play while Andy was asleep. Hopefully I will get to take the girls to see them for a few days before school starts. I wanted to post a few new pictures of the girls so everyone could see how big they have gotten.

Well will have to make another post to fit them all on here.

Love You All.....

Steph...

Girls

Alexus and Shelby are coming home tomorrow. They have been at my mom's and dad's. When I talk to them on the phone they are always talking about the horses, getting to feed them, and getting to brush the baby colt. They LOVE being in the country. It is too bad we live in the city at times, but then I remeber the 30minute drive to Paris and am glad we are just a few minutes away from wherever we need to go. A 30minute drive would kill us in gas hehe. I can't wait to see them. They have only been gone a lil over a week, but that is a long time when they normally are only gone for a day. Andy misses them too. I can tell. He was asking sbout them last night because they didn't call. I talked to them while I was grocery shopping but they didn't call that night like they normally do. Well, I will post some new pictures of the kids when I get some. I need to get some taken, it has been a while.

<3 you, and miss you all!

Father's day

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all you father's. Hope you all had a great day. I know Andy sure was busy. We put up 4 ceiling fans and some blinds for our sliding glass door. Alexus wanted a pink fan so we painted hers, and Shelby wanted hers purple so hers was painted also. They look so cute. I think we did a great job. I will get some pictures of them and post them later. Well, hope you all have a great day. We love you all.

Summer begins

Today I took the girls outside for a bit. It was so HOT. We didn't stay out there too long. Lexi, Shelby and Ashleigh wanted to play til they got hot then it was time to go in. Alissa said it was too hot the whole time. She doesn't like the heat as you can tell be the face she is making. She sweats so bad. I think they all had a good time though. Here are a few pictures of their art work and them playing.

Girl Scouts Ceremony

Here are a few pictures of their ceremony. This is the end of the year ceremony. The bridge is for the girls that are going on to another troop because of their age. It symbolizes them crossing over to a new beginning. They also sang a sone called, Yes we can. It talks about how women can do anything they put their minds to.

Last Awards Ceremony

Today was Alexus's last awards ceremony for the year. She made the A-Honor roll all year. We are so proud of her. She has worked so hard to make it. She always does her homework the night she gets it even if it isn't due the next day. Andy and I always encourage her to do that so when she gets older she will automatically do it instead of waiting. Here are a few pictures I took of her today.

Love you all

Busy

Well it is officially the last week of school for Alexus. We are going to be busy this week. We have her awards ceremony Thursday morning, her class graduation party Friday afternoon, and their girl scout end of the year ceremony Friday night. Alexus and I made gift bags for everyone in her class. The girls are getting bracelets, fruit chews, and Air heads. The boys are getting a car, fruit chews, and Air heads as well. It isn't much but hopefully they will like it. I have been taking snacks to the classroom all year so everytime they see me they say, Alexus's mom do you have a snack for us today hehe. Well, I will post pictures of everything when I get them.

Ashleigh

Ashleigh had her 18month well visit today, and it went well. Not much else happening today. Wow only one week left of school for Aleuxs's first year. Time sure has gone by fast. Doesn't seem right. Just think next year I will have 2 in school.

Shelby

I had to take Shelby to the ENT today to have her hearing checked. She has really bad fluid in her left ear that wasn't there a lil over a month ago, and her right ear is extremely red. They want her to take an antibiotic for 10 days, and a nasal spray for 6 weeks. After she has done that we will have to go back and have the hearing test redone and have the doctor recheck her ears. Hopefully when we go back they will be ok and we won't have to get tubes/adnoids surgery. He thinks that she is having problems with her adnoids because she sounds congested and isn't, snores really bad, tosses and turns, really restless at night. I had surgery on my ears when I was younger and so did my dad. So there may be something there that is hereditary (spelling). I wil keep you all posted on what we find out.
Love and miss you all,
The Eudy's

New changes

I made a bunch of changes on here. Hope you all like them. I think that it made it look a lot better.
<3 you all

Zoo

Here are the pictures I took of Lexi's field trip to the Zoo. We had fun but I was wore out when we got home that afternoon.

Updates

A lil update. Alexus is going on her first field trip on Wednesday. They are going to the zoo. She is so excited. I got Shelby registered for school Tuesday and so she is asking when she gets to go to school now. Ashleigh and Alissa are doing good. Ash is getting to where you have to watch her. She loves her sister but will drag her by her clothes if you look away.

Easter

Happy Easter hope you all have a wondeful day. Here are some pictures of the girls hunting eggs.
