Stevens Family

School is flying by and we seem to be in a great  grove....Emmie wakes up and takes a shower and eats breakfast at 7am and we then take her sister to school at 8am then we come home and hit it hard until noon then we are done for the day. She has to do 5 hours a day so we get four in and then in the evening one hour of homework. She had her first online test with her teacher and here are the results she was way above average on both math and reading. Last year she really liked math but now we are doing multiplication and division and has switched over to really liking reading she loves reading and writing in her journal. Her reading score she read 100 words per minute. Almost off the chart for math

We got to meet Emmies online teacher last week she is super nice!

You know it takes a while to get into a routine.....it wasn't bad......last year the first day was BAD....today was just trying to get into the grove......... Here is our schedule.....

I really hate back to school......weather gets bad...no sleeping in...errr......we got a letter from Emmies teacher and she wanted the kids to write back to her and this is what we wrote.....   Hi my name is Emmie.   I am 7 years old, my favorite color is purple and my favorite subjects are math and reading.   I love to shop at Justice but like you my mom loves garage sales and thrift shopping. This is my 2 nd year with K12.   I live in North Canton.   My family moved here from California 4 years ago.   I have two sisters…Lizzie who is 10 years old, and Maddie who is 4 years old. I also have a brother who is 2 years old named Evan.   My mom stays home with all of us and my dad works for the corporate office of Applebees.   My dad like your husband became sick in April 2014 and we found out he had a brain tumor.   He had to have brain surgery and is recovering.   I love to help my mom, sing, dance, and I like doing hand stands.….I am trying soccer out this fall.   I also enjoy

I'm putting this blog private.....let me now if you want added.....if you are already on the list for my other blog you will be on the list again. Thanks :)

Yes I love getting into things and love hanging out with my Emmie.....whenever I want anything or I'm sad I yell at the top of my lungs.......EMMIE

Every summer the first time Lizzie swims her ear drum burst usually at the worst possible time....you know at 8pm at night! it happened last night and she was in a lot of pain....we went to the doctors this morning and after antibiotics, ear drops, and cotton balls she is feeling a little bit better.  She has not been to school all week hopefully tomorrow!

So in 24 hours we did piano recitals, softball, soccer, and dance recital! CRAZY!!!!!!!!

 Lizzie is playing softball this year and loving it!!! She loves softball!!!! Brad is assistant coach!  Last game she hit every time and got a bunch of outs!  Maddie is playing soccer and I am the HEAD coach!  I love it!!!! Maddie on the other hand HATES it!!! She cries the whole time and I'm pretty sure other parents think I am the worse mom ever making her sit on the field and cry!  I really wanted one of my daughters to like soccer but none of them do :(

Well as Brad would call it....Sunday was his Christmas! His favorite Day of the year!!!! He watched the Indy 500 with his uncle.....Ryan Hunter Ray won with Helio in 2nd!!! I still am confused why 2 TVs, 2 ipads, and a laptop was necessary but they sure did have a great time!!!! So you know what that means.....all other adults OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!!!! So we hit up our favorite zoo with Ann, Kim, and Kaitlynn! How much do 4 kids weigh? More or less then an elephant? After the Zoo we bbq and hung out with KAitlynns new puppy.....this puppy was seriously the cutest and best puppy I have ever seen!!! Monday for Memorial Day we went out for the first swim in the pool.  The kids love swimming .....the girls love swimming! I actually think I was in the pool more then I have ever been.  I had a great time!!! The kids were in the water from 1:30-7:30 and out once to eat! And leave it to Liz to end up with a ear ache after swimming...off to the doctors to
