Bathtub fun
Well, at this point all the boys can fit in the tub..they cant get clean but they all are in there! This isnt our normal bathroom routine. Levi and Judah have moved on to showers, while Malachi and Josiah still love playing in the bath tub.

We just finished celebrating Levi's 7th birthday! It was going to be at our house, but Rick just planted the winter grass in the back yard, so no one could be on it, that would be a little hard for boys...not playing in the backyard. So, we took all Levi's school friends to Peter Piper and then played at the park. It was a really good, time and Levi loved it. I loved being able to see him and his friends and all of them interact. There is so much to sum up about Levi in this last year.
-from starting fininishing off his kindergarten year, taking diving lessons in the summer,
-He played a couple seasons of soccer and enjoyed being out there.
Levi is undoubtedly a leader, and that is not only from his parents eyes, but his teachers too. What a blessing. He takes his time caring for his brothers, teaching them. He will sit down with Josiah and teach him his letters, and use care in it too! Josiah looks up to him like crazy. He has spent much time teaching Malachi how old he is, and his name, and is so excited Malachi learned it. He is way into building legos, and pretty much doesnt stop till the project is completed. He tells me he loves Math, and his teacher just told me he is excelling in that area also. He has loves to do Science. Levi now goes to LOGOS at church every Wed. night, which is allowing him to make lots of new friends. If he has homework, he will set and do it deligently right after school. IM thinking he definatly got his brains from his dad, I think I can just tell learnign is coming pretty easy to him, and he goes to an awesome school. He wants to be with Dad any time of the day, jumps to ask if he can come if he sees Rick going out the door. Loves to sit and eat sunflower seeds with him, and just hang out. The two of them are INCREDIBLY alike. He loves to wear mesh shorts and comfy clothes. IF I asked him what he wanted to do, besides go fishing and out hunting with Dad, he would want to get on his comfy clothes and get cozy on the couch and watch a movie. He has always sorta been a homebody. His 1st grade teacher says he takes instruction well, and is very bright eyed and happy. The other teachers tell me what a "doll" he is and they love to just watch him on the playground, I think that is kinda funny. He is sooo excited to be having a 4th brother coming, and tells everyone we see. When most people stop us in the store Levi says to them, oh yea, and its a boy, yep 5 boys, and my mom had 5 brothers, so we might have a girl after this one! The people look at me funny for many reasons, probaby thinking you are already talkign about another one!! :) His sport loves right now is football and will start Pop Warner in the fall of next year. So excited. Emotionally Levi is still sensitive and puts a lot of emotion into what goes on. He loves God, has told me he has begun to pray to God when he needs strength to be kind, and can sometimes "pray inside my head." Smile. He has a good 7 year old grasp at who God is. He is struggling with confidence, he appears to have much confidence, but inside he is learning about himself. We have been praying that he can have Comfort in knowing he is made in God's image and is disciplined because God loves him, and that we love him. When I get a chance I take Levi out alone. He will tag along on some errands nad then we will sit and eat some ice cream out together. Which is nice, he tells me about actual "life." I loves those times with him. He is very focused, very hard working, serious, has a small goofy side to him, and is a best friend to all his brothers. He can keep his physical calmness when aggravated by one of them, but shows it more emotionally. I can trust him to watch out for his brothers, and protect them. Anyway, praising God for Levi's wonderful year last year, excited for more!
