love love love!

Are you gonna have more?!?!!?

Josh and I are CONSTANTLY asked the question!  Why complete strangers and acquaintances are so worried about our baby making plans or lack there of, I will never know!  I have never thought 4 kids were a lot, but I can tell you the world thinks 4 kids are 2 too many.  The vibe I get is, if you have one of each two is plenty.  If you have two of the same gender then you can "try for a boy/girl".  Shesh! Do NOT get me started on that!  Anyway, Josh and I both feel as if our family will grow.  How is the real question!  Not sure the point of the post just a little blurb:)!

soooo....it has been awhile!  Hollister turned ONE!  This year, as always, has flown by!  Hollis walks, talks, and throws fits!  Typical one year old, well he is much cuter, smarter, and more precious than most:)!  He is a big boy.  He weighs 27lbs and wears 24 month clothes and a size 5 shoe.  He loves to eat, is not at all picky.  Hollis gives the sweetest hugs and kisses, he is a lover!  Hollis is not the typical 4th child, he acts like an only child!  I am sure it is because his Aunt spoils him ROTTEN when she keeps him.  Hollis is a climber and is into everything.  His other pastimes include pulling hair, stealing toys, pinching, biting, sleeping while only being held, and screaming.
Emery Jai update!  She is just the most awesome little kid!  EJ still has a 100% in school!  EJ also auditioned for a speaking role in her kindergarten musical and she got it!  Her play is this week, she is overly excited.  You would think it was televised! ha!   Emery Jai is so very kind.  She has the softest heart!  She is fiercely independent and very much marches to the beat of her own drum!  Emery Jai is growing her hair out for locks of love, yes, I am very proud!  EJ is super tall!  She wears a size 8-10 clothes and a 11/2 shoe.  Emery Jai wants to be an Artist when she grows up....Josh is already thinking about a garage apartment :).
Guice Brewer!!  What a wonderful little man he is!  Guice loves to ask questions about God and Jesus, he has to understand things completely.  He will ask questions until he understands things, seriously like hundreds.  Guice then will go and think about it, come to a conclusion and report back his understanding.  I love to hear how his mind works, he thinks outside of the box!  He is our little scientist.  Guice still loves bugs, sports, and mud.  He is doing awesome in preschool.  Boo is a little sad all his friends are going on to Kinder and he isn't.  His teacher, who we adore, feels he is ready.  His teacher says he the most mature boy in her class and he knows all his letters, writes very well, and is eager to learn.  Well, this momma is not ready!  We are holding him out this year.  Everyone but me thinks he should go.  Good thing my vote trumps all of them :).  I know he would do great!  I just do not want him to be the youngest in his class.  It is that simple!  Guice is ready, he will be ready next year also and one of the oldest in his class!  Guice wears a 6 slim and a size 1 shoe! 
Of course little miss Ever!  She is a wild woman!  Ever wakes up screaming and goes to sleep screaming!  Seriously.  It is a constant.  Ever is so stinking cute!  She has her teacher, all the staff for that matter, wrapped around her little finger!  Ever is reportedly the strongest personality in her class, I believe it!  She likes to boss the other kiddos.  Ever's trips to timeout have stopped all together!  I think her teacher just gave up :).  Actually, the staff keeps her super busy!  Ever must be engaged 100% of the time.  She is high maintenance!  She dressed herself, everyday all day!  She loves dresses with pants and a tutu.  She is starting a trend :).  She is still our Dragon, the nickname has caught on and our family as well as friends and church use it and it fits her well.  She is super smart and wild as a tiger.  Crazy combination!
As for my amazing husband and I we are doing great!  I can say, today maybe not tomorrow, that I do love our tiny town.  I have a fabulous group of friends and our Church family rocks!  We are super busy, living life to the fullest!  Josh really enjoys his job.  He purchases raw materials....sounds thrilling, huh?  My job is hard.  Working with psychiatric kids/adolescents is challenging, which could be the understatement of the year.  I do love it, I just pray, pray, pray some more!  I start my masters program in June! Our life is not perfect, however, we think it is pretty freakin close!
