It's been a while ... so... to sum up a year - here goes..

Well .... where to begin? This blog this is really difficult to keep up when you have more than one child (or two)! I stand and applaud you my friend Trisha (who also has 4 beautiful princess) ... you amaze me!!

So, lets see if i can sum up the last year. Our oldest is now sporting way cute glasses (why didn't they make them that cute when i was her age?) I can't believe she's about to turn 9! Where did the time go? 3rd grade has been a huge learning year - and i'm talking for me! Times tables ... whew! She's flying through them easily ... i'm still pulling out the calculator to check her answers :). Niki is now less that a foot shorter than me (i feel really small now to a 9 yr old!) and she loves to rub it in!!

Kenzi is have a grand time in kindergarten! She is now 6 years old and an awesome reader! i love to see her face light up when she figures out new words on her own. Kenzi is also riding on 2 wheels, has 2 missing teeth and 2 more that are "wiggly." Kenzi decided this past fall that she wanted to try gymnastics instead of dance (plus for mom and dad! its cheaper!! whoo hoo). I am very impressed with how fast she is learning and doing cartwheels and handstands. She is talented for sure.

Jessi is loving pre-k this year. She really is learning some fun stuff! She started soccer this past fall and is pretty awesome! watch out boys!! She also played basketball this winter and loved it. She came to me around Feb and said "mom, when i'm done with basketball, and soccer, i want to play the guitar ... a real one! not pretend." So looks like that was a hint to get the girl a guitar for her 5th birthday! LOL Diversity!!

Kami - kami kami kami!! Gotta love that girl!! she definitely keeps us on our toes. I guess it's her right as the youngest of 4. She turned 3 in September (and still has yet to give up the pull-ups! mmmm) She thinks (and acts!) like she's just as big as her sisters. She loves to be outside, loves to run, LOVES to dance (esp to the chipmunks!) and loves to make us laugh! What a lovely mess that girl is!

As for Jeff and I .... we spent last summer as the Children's Pastor (interm). Thats a tough job! Jeff is amazing when it comes to the creativity that pours from his heart and teaching those awesome kids! God has giving a wonderful gift to my husband and i'm so glad to be a part of it! We continue to be a part of the children's area, but with our own crazy lives with 4 girls, soccer, basketball, gymnastics and school, priorities have to be given. God is Good!!

We have also said good-bye to our sweet beloved dog Leia. Princess Leia was almost 10 yrs old. That was a very difficult and sad day in the Geis house! We miss you girl! Run with Jesus ...

So i'm including a few pics from this past year. Enjoy and God bless!
