My four Girls and my Little Man

Tamzi is my oldest,  She is 10 and will be 11 September 23rd.  She is a bit shy, has a sprinkle of freckles and can give an excellent neck and shoulder massage. She is quiet and a bit conservative.   Her interests are anything to do with hair and nails,  She loves braiding and trying out various hairstyles on herself and her three sisters and sometimes my mom lets her fix her hair.  She paints my mom's toe and fingernails and sometimes her own and her sisters.   Her other interests are bugs, she likes to read about them, and books on them.  She likes catching them and studying and reading about them.   Then she likes amphibians,  For awhile she had a pet skink which is a blue bellied lizard and two salamanders.   She catches toads and frogs and sometimes feeds bugs to them.   She has a couple of pet toads under my mom's house she takes bugs too.   She is interested in becoming a cosmotogists, massuse or entimologist.  She said she thinks she will go and learn to be a massuse first or take some beauty school then work part time and go to college to become an Entimologist.   She wants to get married and be a mom as well.   She keeps the other kids on task and loves to read.  She wants to learn to play the piano and we are working on trying to make that happen.  My mom has one but it needs tuning badly.  She just recently and shyly has begun to notice boys a little bit but still thinks most of them are dumb.   She likes her clothes to be neat and tidy and matching.   She also has a perverse sense of humor and thinks it is funny she can touch her tongue to her nose or laughs when someone farts and thinks it is extremely hilarous.  

My Second oldest Zariah is a total opposite from my oldest child, she is 8 and will be 9 October 4th.  She is my blondie and sometimes acts like it.  She is eccentric and flamboyant and very intense.  She is artistic and loves to draw and likes to collect rocks of all sorts.  She likes music a lot and for the little girl she is she has a dynamite voice and sings very well.   She loves going to church and has already got her husband chosen.  She has told everyone including the young man in question who is 2.5 years older than her that she is going to grow up and marry him.   HMMMMM.  At first the poor kid was like run away.  But now he likes her.  She is my sickly child,  She had a lazy eye and has to wear corrective glasses which are forever getting lost or broken and needing perpetually replaced and has to wear eye patches.  Her eye is getting stronger however and better.   She is outgoing and loves to wear colorful clothing, ribbons, scarves, hats and glitzy bling bling.   Some of her get ups are bizarre and outlandish but that is her and she doesn't care.  She is my little princess but a tomboy too, she is out and climbing trees and grubbing in the dirt with her bling bling and scarves.   She loves to draw and is very creative and artisitc.  She too wants children she informed me she wants 11 kids.  Whew!   Why so many.   I have no idea.  She is huge help with caring for her little brother. Zariah is also my hardest worker and organized.   Don't mess with her siblings she will tell you off and if need smack you a good one as well.   A few boys who tried to bully her or her siblings learned she has a wallop and punch that hurts plus she kicks.   She wants to learn ballet, karate and take violen lessons.  We got the violen lessons underway.  She says she wants to fiddle and violen. She is a combo of emotion and art.  

Alzera is my third oldest child and truly my middle child.  She has a stubborn streak, is very pretty in the face and daddy's girl.   She is my outdoor girl.  She loves animals of most any kind.  When we had a goat more than once when she was a bit younger when we could not find her.  She was often sleeping with our goat or near her.   Alzera is six she just turned six on May 18th.  She is interested in photography and loves turtles and anything to do with turtles and she loves cats.  We got her a camera recently and she actully takes very good pictures of things.  She likes following her dad around and helping him mechanic and fix things.  Alzera, is quiet and watchful.  She is my little kitchen helper and loves to cook and mix and fix things.   She considers clothing as something to be put up with and just as soon run around with little or nothing.  Fashion means nothing to her and she wears mis matched clothing as long as they are comfortable she is happy and often they are too big and she thinks it is funny if she has a butt crack showing.  She likes anything to do with cars and trucks as well.   She also likes to talk to elderly people and has adopted a couple of ladies at church she talks to all the time and they spoil her something rotten.   She has lovely hair her hair is long and thick and gorgeous and she could careless.  She prefers talking to the teenage boys over boys her own age.  She can read and knows her ABCS, colors, numbers to 100 and basic addition and subtraction.  She says she is going to help take care of animals when she grows up.  She wants a farm or  to work with a zoo or something to do with animals.   She is learning to mechanic and helps her dad and knows the differents between a socket wrench, rachet, cresent wrench, vise grips and the different sizes of other wrenchs and helps her dad when he mechanics.  She is my grubby girl and getting down and dirty never bothers her at all.  She is at home in the outdoors rain, shine, winter or summer and loves it most of all.  She also loves to garden and plant things.   

Halona is my four and half year old firecracker.  She will be 5 in October on the 14th..  She is has the biggest sea green eyes,  Long blond hair and is in your face and argumentive.  She loves Mickey mouse and the color pink and to be pretty.  She however is even more dynamite than her sister Zariah.   She likes to boss everyone around and is a big snoop.  She is curious about everything and asks a million questions a day.   She is my youngest girl and takes nothing from anyone and fights back.  She often starts the cat fights my girls sometimes get into and she holds her own.  She likes to color and draw.  She loves older people and has her favorites.  Everyone who sees her and knows her loves her instantly.  She is extremely charismatic and photogenic and cute and irresistable and loud and demanding.  She loves chocolate and cookies.   She loves cats and She is fast she runs and seems the minute she wakes up to the minute she falls asleep at night or takes a nap she is one bundle of pure energy.   She has her definate likes and dislikes and expresses them vocally and loudly.   She loves music and to dance and to sing and picks up songs quickly.  She is going to be a first grader right along with her sister Alzera this year in homeschool.  She is a quick study and learns things fast.   She loves to cook and make cookies, toast and eggs and pancakes.  She loves flowers and forever bringing me handfuls of wildflowers and my mom too.  She is a people person and loves chattering up a storm to all the grandma's and grandpas at church.  Or anyone one else who will listen.  She is also thifty and finds money and saves it.  She love to dress up and be pretty and wants to be a singer or movie star and grow up and marry her friend 5 year old Lance.  She is an enigma and it will be interesting to see what she finally decides she will be when she is older.  She is my most volatile child and she is picky with her clothing and her food and how her hair looks.  She prefers two long braids over other styles.  She likes to wear dresses over slacks and likes her clothes to match and look nice and is upset if they get dirty, torn or she out grows them and has to give them away.   

My little Man Gerrin will be 3 October 5th.  The favorite of is sisters is his sister Zariah who will be 9 on October 4th.  He calls her Zawawah.  He loves cars and tractors and airplanes.  He loves cookies and licorace and stickers.  He likes to be outdoors a lot and to trail his sister Alzera around and is

I am loving watchin my kids grow and change and form personalities and find their nitch in life.  Everyday is a challenge and an experince in learning, loving and growing.  I am so blessed with these five little beings and would not trade one of them for the world.
