Holy Moly...

It's been almost a year since I posted on this blog. Things are good here in Illinois. We had a good summer and the kids are back in school and loving it. We just celebrated Braeden's 6th birthday a few weeks ago, and are now planning for Andrew's 8th birthday. It will be Mad Science themed. I look forward to posting the pictures as I'm sure we will have a blast. Elizabeth's birthday is coming up in November. She will be 11. YIKES, can you believe it? Yea, me either. The dog is good too. He just turned a year old. He's big, and getting bigger everyday.

A little bit of fun...

VOTE for GUNNER in  BISSELL's MVP pet contest. He could be on the dog on the box. voting is from feb 12-18th.  Thanks

New member of the family...

Yup the Sincere household has grown by 1. One dog to be exact. His name is Gunner. He is a white German Shepherd. We got him a few days before Christmas at the tender age of 12 weeks. He then weighed 27 lbs. He now is 16 weeks old and weighs 40 lbs.

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow...

Shining at the end of every day.
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow.
And tomorrow's just a dream away.


That's right folks, tomorrow we head out for DISNEY WORLD. Sunday we will be looking at this.

When you wish upon a star....

We have THREE days, count them 1 2 3 days left until we go to Disney World.

HALLOWEEN.....

So this year Halloween got rained out, but we went to many a fall festival. One at the kids' school, one at my dad's school, and one at the church's school.

Elizabeth was a fairy, Andrew was a Phantom (not of the OPERA) but with shackles and all that good stuff, and Braeden was Darth Vader complete with red light saber.

The kids...

Here's an update on the kids :)

With the move coming up and the kids going to a new school, they needed school physicals. I took them last week and here are their stats.

At age 5 Braeden weighs 43.3 lbs and is 46 inches. He has grown almost 4 inches in a year and gained about 2 lbs.

At age 7 Andrew weighs 45.7 lbs and is 49 inches. He has grown 5 inches in a year and gained 3 lbs.

At age 9.75 :) Elizabeth weighs 81.3 lbs and is 4ft 11 inches. She has grown about 4 inches and gained 8 lbs in a year.


They are all doing exceptionally well in school.

Elizabeth received all A's and one B in science.
Andrew is one of the top readers in his class and is reading at a 4th grade level (he's in first) He is enjoying his TAG class as well.
Braeden is meeting and exceeding all his IEP goals in speech. Right now they are working on beginning and ending word sounds, as he tends to drop the first and last sounds of some words. For him now it is all about pronunciation instead of learning new words. His vocabulary is caught up to that of his peers.

I am looking forward to seeing where they place in their new school.
