What a year.

2013 was a year that had deep valleys & happy mountain tops. I'm glad it's over & we are looking forward to a happy and more stressfree 2014.

We are praying by early summer 2014 we will be in a new house either renting again or buying one. A house hopefully built in the 90s or 2000s with indoor laundry. Geez. And an open layout where I can see my peoples from the kitchen.

Austin started prek3 today and we are praying he will thrive in his new class. We've learned he needs a small class size, consistency, & needs a challenge. I'm excited about helping him trace his letter of the day this afternoon. We've really looked at the foods he eats & have taken out a lot of sugar, we make sure he gets lots of exercise & less TV. He's tall & skinny like the Boozer men. He wears size 4t & 10 shoe.

Khloe's my little sweet baby always with me mostly calm & just perfect.. She's getting up to eat once a night. She's eating great & we love her chubby legs & cheeks. She is wearing 3 month clothes. She & I sat in the hallway in church yesterday because she was being noisy sneezing, tooting, cooing. She was our happy part of 2013. God answered my prayers for a happy healthy baby girl.

Things change

As excited as we were last week for Austin to start preschool his teacher & principal think he needs to start next year.  He turned 3 the first day of school and a lot of kids in his class are close to turning 4. We don't want school to be frustrating for him so we've decided to wait - find a mothers morning out group - and do 3 yr old preschool next year when he is older. Friday when his principal called we were so disappointed, but today we feel at peace about it. We have him on the waiting list several places - praying the right place works out soon so he can socialize.

Baby girl Boozer is 31 weeks! 9 more weeks & I need to get on the ball with her nursery. She is moving like crazy.

He's 3!

A woke up today a 3 year old!
I made him breakfast - milk, bananas and a surprise doughnut (that he didn't eat)
He had balloons waiting for him & lots of hugs and kisses.
We got ready for school in time, Lecee came with us for pictures and walk to school.
He walked in with his friends Sara & Ella.
He was  so excited to see his teacher and classroom.
I think he kind of looked at me thinking, "You're leaving me?" but that was only a split second because he saw a jar of M&M's and asked his teacher if he could have some.
I picked him up in the car line and he was sweaty & happy.  He immediatly took off his shoes and we headed home for birthday lunch with Ian.  He also tt'd in the potty. Yay!
He ate a small lunch, played and watched The Jungle Book Movie with Ian.  He took a much needed nap then opened presents from my parents and we ate dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings.  They gave us free cake & ice cream (that he didn't eat).  Dad gave him a bath and now he's in bed.  It's been a great day!

27 weeks

Whew!
I feel like baby girl is already big & there's 3ish more months to go. I have been working hard at home getting A ready for preschool (potty training) & big boy bed. He's done really well with both of those transitions! I have been cooking more - lots of crockpot meals & using our Brackin beef. We need to get things out of storage & sell some things to get rid of that unit. If we haven't used it in 2 yrs. we prob dont need it, right? Right. We have 3 generic brown wooden bookshelves for the taking if you know of anyone needing one or all 3.  Also a white refrigerator...

I decided to clean off our back porch this morning. I want it to be another play area for A & eating place for us. Pics are on fb & to come.

A finished up Mothers Morning Out last week & starts preschool August 21 which is also his birthday. Hoping he will thrive going 3 days a week.  We are practicing ABC's, 123's, colors, manners daily. He is covered in bug bites & has a scraped knee...very little boy looking these days. He plays loud, likes to throw & is attached to his Daddy the minute he gets home from work.

Yes, husband & Dad is home. Thank you Jesus.
