Hello everyone. Here are some updated pictures of our family. We had a good summer. We went to Oregon to my Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. We went to Bear lake for the Belnap reunion. And of course we went on our family camping trip. It was a good summer. But now it is fall.
Grant started Kindergarten and is doing really well. He was so ready for school and everyone was happy to send him. Kent started preschool, he also loves, loves it. He is a very social boy and thrives in that environment. Caleb turned 2 and no longer is a baby. He now looks and acts just like the Big Boys. And just in time because he isn't the baby anymore. That's right Baby #4 is on the way. We are due March 30th. We are finally having a spring baby. We are all excited to have another baby joining our family.
Enjoy the pictures.

Spring please come

We have had a few days of sunny warm weather and now it is cold and windy, I am so ready to kick the kids outside and get out of the house. Things are going about the same in the Belnap household. Grant is doing well in preschool and he is very excited to go to the Big school this fall. He is very ready to start kindergarten. We have been looking into what school to send Grant to this next year. We have several Charter schools here and I would like to get him into one. They all have a lottery draw to get in so it is just the luck of the draw if he does get in. The charter schools have smaller class sizes and tougher curriculum. We will know by the end of April if we are one of the lucky one's.
Kent has started in speech therapy. He gets to go do Play therapy once a week. I am really optimistic that this will help him improve his speech. Sometimes it is anybodies guess what he is saying. We both get frustrated. Only time will tell. He is busy learning his color's and shapes. His favorite color is blue, he makes sure to point out any blue object that he sees.
Caleb is a cute 18 month old. I love, love, love this age. He is so cute and adorable. He is very assertive and fights well with his big brothers. He trys desperately to keep up with them, and he actually does a good job of it. His favorite things to do right now are to put on his big brother's boots and walk around the house. He loves to watch the PBS show Zaboomafoo. Every time it comes on he runs around yelling ZABOO, ZABOO. Caleb is our book reader. I find him in the boys room reading books all the time. He brings me books and crawls up in my lap on a daily basis. I is soo cute.
Now for me, in January my partner and I started a business called Step It Up Foot Care. We go to assisted living facilities and take care of the resident's feet. They can't reach those toe's anymore so we help them out. It is a really needed service. Right now we are going to 4 facilities. We only work one day a week by going to each facility once a month. So far it is going really well. It is just the little extra income that my family needs and I am only gone 4 hours one day a week. I am still working Home health on the weekends.
Bryce is doing well at T-Mobile and looks forward to promoting within the company. We are hopeful that this will happen is the next year or so depending on availability. With out tax return this year we are going to work on the outside of the house. New soffits and face trim and a fresh coat of paint will change the look of our home. So come spring, come we are ready for the warm sun.

Dancing Caleb

Caleb is our music lover. He crawls up on the piano bench and plays on the keyboard almost daily. He likes to turn the drum music on then start to dance. He really gets into it. He will even dance to the music on the commercials. Caleb is growing up so fast. Last night the boys were racing eachother across the living room. Kent and Grant would say,"ready, set, go." Then all of the sudden Caleb piped uo, "ready set go" it was so clear I had to do a double take to tell who said it. It amazed me that that came out of an 16 month old baby. He is growing up so fast.

Literal Grant

Today I went to pick up the boys from the babysitter after a Kent's hearing screen. I was driving away with the boys when there little friend Jack was heading to the bus stop to go to Kindergarten. I told Grant," look Grant the bus is coming to pick up Jack." Grant replied is a knowing fashion," Mom, Buses don't pick up people, People get ON the bus." I could just see in his imagination a bus literally picking up people. HaHaHa I had to laugh. By the way Kent's hearing is normal, now we are going to start speech therapy with him.

Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas And everything else

I guess it has been a while since our last update. We had a great december with tons of fun with family. Enjoy the slide show.

What we go through each night with Kent

Every night, we put Kent in bed and then he comes out. We read stories, have a snack, get a drink etc. Constantly taking him back to bed. After finally getting him to lay down and laying down with him, he is out within a couple of minutes. All he needs to do is hold still, but he can't do it on his own. We hadn't seen this Sesame Street until the other ones linked to it and we both laughed and said thats Kent. Enjoy.

Fun Sesame Street Songs

The boys love these little songs. Kent and Caleb dance to them when they see them on Sesame street. We also the message Jason Mraz and Elmo have. To bad it is so cold outside right now.
