How was your day, dad?

Wyatt is such a sweet kid!  I was listening to him talk to Keith the other day and he asked him how his day was.  How cute is that!  The other night we were at my parents and some of the kids made up a dance to a kidz bop song.  Wyatt sat down there and watched them and then he wanted to do the dance.  He had memorized most of it and it was so fun to watch him.  He is just so cute! 

Caitlyn and Hallee started dancing with him too.  It was so fun to watch.  Caitlyn went off to play after a while and Hallee and Wyatt put on a little dance show for us.  Now whenever Hallee hears that song she will start dancing and yell, "mama" to make sure I am watching.  So cute!

These two are so funny.  They are like every brother and sister sometimes they have so much fun together and other times they are fighting like crazy.  I love watching them play together.

Wyatt was feeding Hallee the other day.  Sometimes she won't let me feed her, but she is happy to let the other kids feed her.

I sure love these two!

Jonah finished up his Jr. Jazz season.  He did so great.  I was so impressed with his improvement.  He worked hard and did a good job of being a team player. 

Jonah was star of the week last week.  We had fun making his poster. 

 Last Saturday I was really sick and was having horrible pains in my stomach.  While I was working on his poster with him I said, "oh, I think I'm dying."  Looking back that was a real dumb thing to say, but I can be a little dramatic when I'm sick and I felt horrible.  Anyway, Jonah had a fever that day so he wasn't acting like himself.  We put him to bed and he fell asleep really quick.  A few hours later he started screaming and wouldn't tell us what was wrong.  We took him upstairs and got him calmed down and gave him some ibuprofen for the fever.  He went back to sleep and a few hours later he was up screaming again.  It was really scary because he wouldn't stop screaming and he wouldn't tell me what was wrong.  At one point he yelled, "help me, please!"  He was also saying a few things that didn't make any sense.  I was terrified so I went and woke Keith up.  He finally got Jonah to talk and Jonah said he had a nightmare that Keith and I drank alcohol and died.  I guess I freaked him out and that was mixed with some fears he has been having since Jen died and it all came out that night. Jonah doesn't talk or express himself, he keeps it all inside and just explodes at some point.  Keith gave Jonah a blessing and we talked about his fears and got him back to sleep.  A couple of hours later he was screaming again, but this time he was still asleep and I just rubbed his back until he went back to sleep.  Poor kid.  I felt like the worst mom ever.  I'm glad that he got it out and he seems to be doing better now.  I hate that my kids have been exposed to so much death already.  They talk about Kip dying and they know that Keith's oldest brother died as well.  I probably shouldn't promise them that I won't die, but sometimes I do. 

Wyatt finished up his soccer class.  He had so much fun. 

He looked forward to it every week.  He loved to do all of the drills they did.  He was really funny to watch when they played an actual soccer game.  He would run around and always be near the action, but it didn't look like he wanted to be right in the action. 

One of the boys in the class brought all of the kids a valentine.  Wyatt was pretty excited about it.

We had a hard time keeping Hallee off the court.  She loved when the class was over and she could go down and kick the soccer ball.
