The Toneys

It's a......

The Toney's happliy announce that the new baby is a GIRL! We're very excited for May and for baby Sylvia's arrival.

No matter how "ugly" you feel, when your kids want to take a picture with you, you oblige.

Woo the Pumpkin

We enjoyed cutting up a pumpkin this year! Joel, Evie, and the two boys a watch helped us out. We made predictions and observations about the pumkin and did some major exploring.

We named him Woo.

No Shame

Eating peanuts in your underwear outside...

Because food is better nude. :)

She Tuned 4, and Turnt Up!

October 10th, baby girl turned FOUR! Can you believe it?!

We had a nail polish party, and had a few little friends over.

This picture was the "was station". Apparently, water tables are an awesome idea. They played here forever!

One of the other momma's helped me out with the polish bar, and we did many a FABULOUS manicure :)

One thing I kind of hate is my friends buying my kid gifts. It bugs me. But never the less, she was well loved and adored her gifts .

I'm not sure navy frosting is ever a good idea. :)

We love you Licious. You are one seriously awesome kid :)

Let's be honest, las week was HELL. Monday was errand day, Jared's first day back to school, and shot day for the kids. Never fun. I had a flu shot done, and I got so sick from it! I mean, DOWN for the count sick. Not fun! On top of it all, my parents came for a visit, and the kids were just plain mean to me. Like, walk I to my bedroom (out of the clear blue) and say, "I really hate you mom. You're the worst" type mean.

Lots if tears were shed, and some forgiveness had to happen, but we're pretty much back in one piece.

Now you may understand my surprise when this morning, Eve came into my room this morning while I was getting ready and she plopped down and said, "you deserve a foot massage."

It's the little things that make it so much better, you know?

Homeschooling

We have made the decision in our family to homeschool our children. I have an EXTREMELY supportive husband, and a pretty good village that surrounds us. This decision has been more easily said than done. Because this pregnancy was difficult at the beginning, it made homeschooling a trial. I think in general it's a process, but ours has been uphill pretty much our whole journey. Lately, especially coming home from Christmas break, life, in general, has been difficult. Adjusting back to real life hasn't been easy. Lots of tears have been shed, and prayers lifted to Heavenly Father. This week has gone so much smoother. Not picture perfect, but well.
