Goodness gracious I've posted again.

This is a picture of our little (not so little anymore) six year old. She just barely lost her first tooth. It was so loose that inhaling and exhaling made it move. 

I snapped a pic of myself with the celebrity and I'm not sure why she's doing a peace sign.

You can see that the permanent tooth was already up. She had two rows of teeth for awhile.... like a shark.

Other recent happenings: Jane has been saying "hallelujiah Ballelujiah: about 1,000 times per day. She says it with her eyes closed and while she's dancing around. I asked her what it means recently and she said "it means dancing". She's the most original/weird kid ever. Joe and I are still boring in comparison with the kids.

Lots of pics

My Christmas girls. I love dressing them in their Christmas clothes. 

Our kids are mostly toys to us

This is such a good representation of Jane's inner self. Serene and a little weird.

This is an awesome story. Amelia woke up and said, "I need to earn some money to buy things". So she decided to make a lemonade stand. (Yes, it's november) Joe was SO supportive. He made her that little stand, helped her with the koolaid, got her all situated, then sat back and watched with me. Amelia is NOT afraid of people. To any and all passerby-s , she's holler "I have lemonade per you! It's 9 dollars!!!" We let her set her own price :) Our obliging neighbors came and bought some at a reasonable rate and Amelia ended her 45 minute work day with $5.50. She even learned about tithing, but in all honesty, I was more excited for her to learn about capitalism. 

Mud mud everywhere. 

Some nice stuff

The girls were "getting me stylish" for zumba. It's a good thing too, because Grandma Connie was there and I was glad to have had their help to keep up appearances :)

Happy Hauntings

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

And not to ruin it for next year... but all costumes were 50% off so we got stocked up. Jane is plum pudding from strawberry shortcake and Amelia is a devil, but if  you ask her she'll refer to herself as the 'girl vampire'. She'll be wearing a shirt underneath this little number so it doesn't look like lingerie :)

Kids don't belong at school. I promise.

So.....I'm taking Amelia out of school. We're doing kindergarten next year. This school thing sucks.   My child hates school. She says she cries to come home all the day. Her teacher just affirmed it to me in an e-mail. 3 weeks of this and I finally called the principal and talked to him about it. Joe and I decided that we're keeping her home. (She just turned 5 years old 3 weeks before school started.) I need to teach her some more before I send her off. How do you raise well adjusted kids? Her teacher said she was "bright scholastically" but had "anxiety about being away from home". Hmmm. Can I just go with her? I wouldn't mind being in kindergarten again.

Off to school

The following are pictures of Amelia's birthday party.... fishing. She said that instead of a party she wanted to catch a fish. Her grandpa is an expert fisherman and took us all up to camp on panguitch lake. Here he is showing Amelia how to cast.

All the Gubler men possess the coveted ability to make the strangest faces known to man. I hope it passes onto my children. 

Amelia putting the net to good use

Jane being pleasant, reverent and respectful as always.
