The new year

The New year is always a time for reflection and starting over on goals.  So it is the same this year.  I'm going to eat healtier. That's always a goal I'm striving for. But some of the goals I'm really working on are
1. Speak with kind eyes and a soft voice.
2. Have my FHE organized
3. Have a sports Night
4. Finish My Burke and Beth Sorensen History for the family Reunion
I did finish one goal.  I got my new family home evening chart up and ready to use for the new year.  Whoo Hoo.  I love accompishing goals.
Hope the rest of the year I will accomplish a few more.

It is Christmas Time

Christmas time brings thoughts of friends and family, traditions and fun.  And for me this year a little guilt.  I made a goal to keep up this blog better throughout the  year and call my family more often to just say hi.  So I want all my friends and family to know that I love them and hope this Christmas season is full of sweet smiles, and lots of cheer.  May there be no irritation, no pressure on your self and no sadness.  Find time for the quiet moments and remember the Gift to the world that we celebrate at this time.  I love the Savior and I'm so grateful for the Atonement.  I need to use it more in my life.  May the Spirt touch all our lives this season to speak a little more kind, to think a little more kind, and to look up on ourselve and other with a little more charitible love in our eyes and hearts.  Merry Christmas

halloween

I have had a fun time getting ready for Halloween.  This year I'm one of the Incharge room moms.  I decided I wanted to head up a harry potter halloween party.  They read the first book in class this year and Ruger liked it.  I got 100 glow sticks and hung them up on the celing.  Jill Hoyt made some great wands and coin pouches. Jolene Harris got some great games together.  Anyway, we turn the 3rd grad class room into Hogwarts.  We used grandma reeves great house banners and sorting hat.  We had a trolly and Greengot bank.  We sorted everyone into their houses and then played fun halloween ,hogwart games. Then the whole school had a great halloween parade.  Then we drove to Hurricaine to have  great time at the reeve family party.  Grandma and grandma put on a great show like always.  Everyone's costumes were fabulouse.  Now we are getting ready for the upcoming holliday season.  I'm trying to think of ways to teach my children to be greatful:)  I look around and we are so blessed.  I'm a very greatful blessed person.  I have a wonderful husband who works hard for us. My children keem me moving and continuing learning.  I'm greatful for there wonderful personalities and for the moments when they say mom. I say what.  They say, Oh, I just love you.  I hope that I can "Just Love" people.

Then on the way home we had to check rossi into the hospital and found out she has phomnoia and they life flighted he up to primary childrends. So now i'm sitting int he Library here at the hospital waiting for her to get all her gases to a point where they will try and take out the tube. Maybe tomorow, brobably the next day. Hope for tomorrow.

But we're grateful for a place to go and get better. i feel like singing christmas carols. Its snowing and snowing.

DeAnna musings. Children speak kindly to each other before i start yelling at you and teach you how to really communicate... AAAAAHHHHHHH

So I went and played basketball Friday, it was supose to be open gym for the girls high school team, but who showed up. Two girl, the coach, the volleyball coach, me and three 8th boys

My team won, How awesome is it to beat the basketball coach, two 8th grade boys and one 9th grade girl. And I could barely get up and down the floor and I missed every layup at least once.
thanks for listen
DeAnna

So here we are

Bert wants to make some contribution to the world. He would like you all to know that he steped on the scale the other day and it scared him. So know he is doing push ups and sit ups like he should be anyway. Other than that he says that is all he has to contribute to the world today.

I just want everyone to know that Rossi is growing up so fast I can hardly keep up. She is crawling and standing up and wanting to start walking. Slowdown, slowdown. Little girl. Be my snuggly little baby a little longer.
Time goes so fast you blink your eyes and the moments are gone that you feel you will always remember.

dig the hole

so our water pipe out front broke like three moths ago, so all summer I've had a hole in my front yard. Well, today that all changed, bert went to kanab, got a ton of rock and filled the hole up a little with rock and toped it off with rock and filled in the depression in the driveway. What a man. I was having a good time watching my little ruger try to keep up with his dad throwing rock from the back of the truck.

On a fun note. we had our binnie sorensen reunion and played the amazing race. Me and My aunt Liz were the winners. Yea, I won a bag a jerky. Yummy. I had to (among other things) jump in a pool to find combinations to locks, and hike as fast as I could to the top of the V Hill, oh, and find and arrowhead. Anywhat good times. and better times to be the winner.

On a sad not summer is offically over thursday for us, as my kids start school. Kimber will be going part time in the morning and all after noon and ruger is in 2nd grade. AAAAHHHH. They are too old. Kimber got some new school clothes and I relized she not just alittle baby girl anymore. Colt would like to go to school But he has to be potty trained to go. Right now he still fights me to go so maybe when school starts we can focus on that challenge. Rossi is starting to roll over and thinks about crawling but hasn't really tried yet.

We've had a lot great squash and zuccine. Our corn is almost ready. So there is an update until next time.

going on's

my bro and wife casey just had there baby. yes he finnalh here. aslo today my cousin ronnie passed away. it is a sad happy day for me.

bracket

Well, kansas loosing busted my bracket. I was very exctied for University of Iowa or whom ever beat kansas though. How fun to nock off a number one seat.
Church was really good today. I gave the lesson on the fall and dad gave the lesson in sunday school on Joseph.
Dads lesson was very good. I'm always learning good teaching technics from him. Today he had differnt couples tell the story of joseph as they did in teaching their children and tell what they wanted their children to learn from the story of joseph. It got people thinking. And all the people who told the story had something different to learn from the story of Joseph in Egypt. Anyway, it was interesting.
Rossi is starting to wake up. She is such a cute good little girl. I'm very greatfull to be a mom for the fourth time:)

march Madness

So I am excited to watch BYU vs Flordia today. I really hope BYU can pull it out. They have been notoriously bad in the first round. Anyway. I have my bracket filled out and ready to see if there are any upsets. I didn't really pick any upsets but I like it when the underdog wins. I forsee Kansas becoming the national champs. But i really don't care who wins. The fun is in the journey.

Rossi Lin is doing well. She acutally needs to burb a little better. She would rather sleep than eat or burb. She falls asleep when I'm burbing her and then is fussy cause she needs to burb but want's to sleep. Ann Hepworth took some really cute pics of her. When I get them I'll post some:) She had her two week checkup and is 7lbs 11 oz. She is growing and growing. I look at how big she is now compared to when she was born and can't belive Colt and kimber were both bigger than she is now when they were born.. Little is good for birthing.

Well, Jana and Linda have been here and that is always fun. They have been good help to watch my kids and keep mom and I company.

Have a great march Madness everyone

Rossi Lin

I've got to go Pump YEA! so this will be short. Rossi Lin Reeve is beautiful and we love her.

Here are some pics of the cute kids.

Is today the day

The baby is moving around but seems content to stay in. I say come out, come out and greet the world. I'm tired of throwing up and being uncomfortable. But alas Nothing yet. Maybe tomorrow will be the day.

So there is my update for everyone.

just had amoment

I had a moment so I'm updating my blog. I know any of you who follow this will be very surprised. So to update you on the car, we decided to go with a more economic Van. I'm not sure how I feel about being a Van mom, but I promise not to let it change me too much:)
I've been really lazy lately, I don't sleep well at night, so I stay up and watch NCIS on my Ipod. I've bought seasons 3 -7. The only really exciting thing that has happend, besided getting a new car, Which the kids love, is the bookmobile. I love bookmobile day. I get a bunch of new books and my kids want to read them all day. I try to get one book for kimber to go with her speech sound we are working on, which is SH. And one that I could probably sign and get a concept across. For colt I get a alphabet and truck or dinasaur book. Ruger i get a scooby doo or Train, or about anything for him. We are starting easy chapter books and he likes to pick his own.
Story time at night is the best way for us to wind down and get ready for bed. The boys are much better than kimber at going to bed. She always says one more book. and Which one, One or Two. She's started to ask WHAT alot and Where. So that is fun.
Ruger is into Justice League. (it isn't my favorite) But He is Supermand and Colt is Flash Gordan and Kimber is all the Girls. Ruger runs around with his superman cape (from halloween) saving Colt and Kimber from pending disasters. The other night Ruger tried to carry Kimber away from the danger but only got two steps before he fell under her weight. Colt is funny too. He will says, I'm Flash mom, and run as fast as he can to the bathroom and back. His new phrases are Yep, and Not right now... Colt come in for supper, Not right now mom, Wait a minuet.
I wonder when I say that?

Update

My adventures of Cars on Thursday.

Thursday morning on the way to work bert crashed our car by over correcting in the snow. ( we have found out that it is totaled. He pretty much dinged up the drivers side of the car pretty good.)

Then that night I crashed my dad's truck by backing it in to a wash. I really don't have any excuses execpt the power was out, it was snowing, I didn't have my glasses on and I'm pregnant.

It was really scary excpecilly for the kids. The back window shattered and they were a little tramatized but thankfully not injured. The hardest part of the whole adventure was trying to get my pregant self out of the wash. But the baby seems to be fine. It's been moving around like always. I hurt my arm, I think just from holding on to the steering wheel to tight. It should be better in a couple days. Bert had a little whiplash stiffness, but other than that the kids haven't complaind of any injuries. It was very scary and exciting at the same time for them. When we got out of the wash, I was holding colt and asked if I could but him down so I could help grab kimber. No mommy, please, I am to sad. HE said . Then the when my dad came he souldn't stop talking about how grandpa's window was broken and we had to get it fixed.
All and All it was quite a night. The power was off all night and most of the morning so they did get to have some fun with flashlights.
(that is the ugly part the the story)

The bad part is we have to get a new car a little sooner than expected. So if any of you know of a good deal on a family car, let us now. I really don't want a van but I want something with a little better gas milage then a suburban. Since bert will bet driving it to work.

The good. I only have 4 weeks left until the expected arival and things seem to be going great. I have a wonderful husband who shovels the snow and makes me fires and breakfast and does laundry. My kids are so cute I amazed at the things I learn from them every day. Hopefully when this baby is born I will not be so irratble so quickly, and i can start feeling a little back to normal:)

Christmas Letter

Ok yall, I've been really boring with my blog. I don't get on very often as you can all see. But I'll try and update everyone what has been going on this year.

Let's see.. Lets start with Bert

Bert is still working at the jail, he has been Officer in charge a few times. This means that he gets to have complete power while the boss is gone for a day or two... Actually it means he has to stay later if there are any problems. He likes the jail and is still working on being more diplomatice so he's not the most complained about jailer. He needs to learn how to say NO nicely. He bought an assalt rifle and another gun for his dad. He has had a lot of fun with these guns. So have all the cops and all his brother inlaws.
He decided to get chickens this year for the kids and worked hard on building a coop for them to live in. I'll have to say that he did a good job taking care of them until lately. They all ended up being roosters exept one. Since the reason we got them in the first place was for eggs, having all roosters has defeated the purpose. I told him to kill them but they are still crowing. I keep thinking they might freeze and I feel bad. I'd rather them get shot then have to suffer.
He aslo has been working on many house projects that have happened. This summer the pipe running to the house broke and this winter our pipes froze and broke in numerous places. So We've been with out water a few times this year. We feel like pioneers. Exept we get to shower at moms and she does our laundry.
Ruger: He started Fist gratde this year and all of the sudden decided he didn't like home work. We've had a few homework battles and a few talks with his teacher about staying on task at school. He loves to read and is one of the best readers in the class. He is a good helper and is growing up way to fast for me. He is starting to like Super heroes, scoby doo, and Hot wheels. He stills enjoys trains but is brancing out a little, which is ok with us. He is such a tender hearted little guy and usually tries to enteratin his little brother and sister. He says we are going to have a girl because it would fit the pattern of boy girl boy girl.
Kimber is all girl still. She doesn't like to go to bed. I think she got that from her dad. She love preschool and learning. Her speech is improving and she loves to sing in the bathroom. She is definatly the boss and thinks she can tell her brothers what to do. She has had a few hair cutting episodes. her lastone involving a buzz. She found her uncle davids hair cutter and buzzed her hair in two places. She didn't like it very much and her mother was very upset at her. She hasn't cut her hair for a month, so maybe she is cured.
She love to create things, cutting paper, gluing pictures and writing her name. She love people and friends.
Colt: What can I say. He is my rough and tumble boxing, hitting tackling, yelling boy. He is my morning person. He is happiest in the morning when he wakes up. He has a great vocabulary and tells wonderfull stories. We are working on hitting at taking from his brother and sister. He is very stubborn( the must come from Bert too :) He gives the best Glover Bear hugs.
Me. My time is spent doing a little cleaning, a little playing, a little bit of this and that. I've enjoyed playing with the symphony of the canyons. (even though I'm not very good) I enjoy helping people out when I can. I enjoy our sessions with our deaf mentor and learning new signs. I have been overly onry and short tempered the past month and much more hormonal. I am tring to be more patient but I ususally don't make it through the day. Hopefully I will return to normal in Feb. My kids are cute and I am a very predujice mother, who thinks her kids are the cutest and do and say the cutes things. I love them very much. I'm very gratful for Bert and his patientce with me and his hard work on fixing the house.
We are very lucky to live close to Grandpa and grandma Glover.
We wish we saw all of you more.
Merry Christmas
