House of Usher!!

Thursday, January 17, 2013

It has been a while. A year in review.

Things have been really quite crazy. We moved twice in the last year with in six months. The kids are doing well now that they are all over the bugs that we had circling around our family.

Moiran is working hard at school and her swimming. She also got new braces this year and it is making a big difference.

Lezlie is 5 and started preschool and is thriving in that. She also got new glasses this year.

Liana is 2 1/2 and talking up a storm and growing everyday. She has a mind of her own and loves to dress up.

Seamus is 2 1/2 and my little character, he is all boy and a total monkey. He gets into everything and it only takes a minute if you turn your back. He also got new glasses this year.

Then we have our new addition, Shirley LaVerne Usher, she was born January 2, 2013 exactly 10 years after Moiran. She is the apple of all her siblings eyes. They just can't get enough of her. We think she is a keeper and a happy new arrival to our family.

James is still working at BYU-Idaho as a baker. He loves it and gets to do what he enjoys. I am a busy stay at home mom.

I am home schooling Moiran and taking care of the other 4 kids. Keeping up with all the kids appointments and activities keeps me running.

Hi all I finally figured out how to get a PayPal button for Mo's swim-a-thon.

Moiran is a member of the Idaho Falls Cutthroats. They hold an annual swim-a-thon to help the kids raise money to help off set the costs of meets and other events they attend. It also allows for our dues to be less.

Mo has a minimum goal to reach $150.00, normally she would do this by having people donate a certain amount of money per lap swam. Unfortunately she came down with a severe case of the croup and can't swim tomorrow. She wanted me to let everyone know she will attend and be present to support her team.

If you feel like you can contribute in helping her meet her goal and or exceed it we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks a bunch

Emily

Lezlie's Dance Picture!

Lezlie started dance in the fall. She has taken to it very well. Which being such the ham that she is it doesn't surprise me. She has had 2 performances already with more coming up. She is such a talented little girl.
