 Sisters Sisters There were never more Devoted Sisters

 

 

 

Already School Picture Time

 Audree Kamille Thomas

     Mrs Hornes Class

   4th Grade

 I have notice with Little Miss Audree

that when she gets older she doesnt want to take as many pictures

 as I would like to take of her...

But I get what I get and don't throw a fit

I just cant believe it is already

Picture time at school

Lillee May Thomas

Mrs. Kubinak Class

Kindergarten

 Lillee May loves the being in front of the camera

Do I blame her NO...

Ever since she was in my belly she was getting her picture

taken....

She loves kindergarten...

She was sad cause she missed her first day of school

Due to this horrible flu bug going around...

I will take a Cold Flu Bug anyday instead of Stomach Bug...

She is posing more and just letting me capture her personality

When I am older I will appreciate the time I put out to take all these

pictures and scrapbook of them.

This is the meaning of life for all

To journal and jont down these things so if one

looses her memory...Which partially I did when I had my Stroke

I got the Pictures and Memories that I captured...

 Too Cute for Words

They Grow up to Quickly.... It was funnnnny funnnnny today I thought was picture day

at school turns out it is next wednsday...

I only order the Class Picture

Cause I take the pictures at home...

So the girls were just Extra Extra Extra Cute that Day...

Brooke Aubrey Thomas

Brookie Cookie is in 11th Grade  Beautiful and Smart...
I will have pictures posted on her when I take them this weekend...
I am excited for her and her furture it is looking so bright...
She has fell into the interest of BoYS.... who would of thought with this girl
Though she turned 16 yrs old she doesn't think that she is too old to hang out and play with her sisters...
She has been a huge help with the girls and has become my friend dearly... LoVe that chickie Dee...

Ivee MaryBeth Thomas

Ivee MaryBeth a Joy For sure... Oh How she was meant to be the last child we had...

She is everything and more than we can asked for AND NOT ASKED FOR...

She can be as Sweet as a Lollipop and than the next day as SOUR as a Lemon Head... Which I do have to say I still LoVe me some Lemon Heads... Ivee has started her adventures and curiosity that is for sure

She loves to play and We Cant get enough of her SINGING... LOVES TO SING AND DANCE doesnt have a care in her life where she is doing it... I LoVe that about all the girls... They show there true colors and they don't care how people judge them or how they get looked at... But of course we teach them time and place for it...

Ivee loves to play with her sisters and play like she is a Kitty... She makes all kinds of kitty sounds and talks like one... She is learning how to write her name... When Lillee went to get tested for kindergarten the teacher was asking lillee question and Ivee was answering them along with her... The teacher asked Lillee when is your birthday Lillee response... April 20 2007 and that is when it is spring time... Ivee just a second after that said Dec 9th and winter time when the snow is outside is my birthday...

She has learned from the Best Her 3 older sisters have made me so proud.... He he he h with a sarcastic sinister laugh behind that last sentence... She knows how to look at you when she wants something and you already say No... She knows what to say when it is bedtime and she doesn't want to be alone... Well She just doesn't know We already went through this with One Kid... Little Miss Lillee... and well I gave into Lillee too... I got to come up with a Better plan for Ivee.. Or I wont be getting any sleep... She said that if she gets DREAM LIGHTS she will sleep in her room along with the paint color being green her favorite of all colors in the rainbow... I haven't been able to sleep ... At least I got Lillee taken care of No More Night terrors and restless sleep nights... Now just need to work on Ivee...

Ivee can ride a Bike with Training wheels and ride a two wheeled scooter... Again something I couldn't do at her age... She is starting to take on interest of the computer and programs... She wants to go to ABS mouse.com... and wants her mom to make her a DS out of wood blocks for her to play... Hey I can DO THAT...She acts alot older for her age it is still hard for us to understand what she is saying sometimes... I kid you not Lillee and Ivee have an english accent... Cuter than Cuteness...but hard to understand if you don't talk to Ivee as much as I do or her close family friends...

She never really smiled after she turned I would say Two years old went through those terrible two's

So I have had to work with her on her smile...

Ok Ivee Smile and she would turn away...

Ok Ivee try again See look at mom... She says YOu Look silly...

So this is the Best We came up on..

Ivee knows how to get what she wants.... and the older girls are taking notes... Do we have our work cut out for us... YOU BET YA... but I wouldn't have it any other way...

When I was pregnant with Ivee I was determined that I was having a Mini Erik I was having mY Boy I wanted so badly... When I found out I was having a Girl.... My heart jumped out of my chest and back in again... I saw her up on the ultrasound screen and fell instantly in love... I didn't care that my beautiful miracle was a baby girl instead of a boy... Now My Thought was Names... Well that didn't take long..

I wanted to call her Evee the name I had picked out for Audree before

things changed...

Than Erik Said what About Ivee

Fell instatley in LoVe

Than I knew it was my Last I wanted my Best Friend My Mom's

name in there and Erik Said

Mary after his Mom's middle name Which she didn't care to much for...

and Beth after my mom... Which My mom said Beth should of came first....

OH BEHAVE YOu TWO...

So Ivee MaryBeth it was and will be for ever...

We didn't get our Boy

But we got the Best of the Best

Our Girls

They LoVed to get Dolled Up

and at the same time get all Mudded Up

Ivee is just like her Daddy when he was that age

No Fear in that little girl

Climbs and does dare devil things

She keeps me on my toes

She likes to do all kinds of stuff...

 Our Perfect Bunch of DAUGTHERS

Lillee May Thomas

 Lillee's First Day of Kindergarten She did So AweSome....

Wasnt afraid she was so ready to go to school... She woke up with Audree in the morning the time Audree needs to get up to get ready for school breakfast and so forth...

I said Lillee you don't have to be up right now

She said IT's ok Mom I am excited for school and cant sleep

Ever since the first day of school started

she still to this day wakes up with Audree

We moved Lillee into Audree's Room

Now it is the both of their room

They love sharing a room together Lillee has slept like she did when she was a baby

She is the type of girl that likes to be around people and loves to share

and think of others.

Truly a kind spirit and doesn't like to be alone

So Audree had to get use to Lillee saying Mom and dad said time to turn off the T.V.

and go to bed and we still have to T.V. on...

It only took a couple of nights of Lillee getting out of bed and turning off the

T.V. and than Audree caught on.

Best Move for the Both of them.

We Moved Ivee into Lillee's Old Room

Yes another project I have to take on to paint her room to Ivee's Liking...

Lillee's First day was the best

I remember her being excited to finally get to stand by our tree outside and

get her first set of pictures taken for her first day of school like Audree her big sister always did...

She was having fun and was saying I am going to school I am going to school

We walked the long way the first day of school to talk to Lillee and to ease not her nerves but her Mommies....

We got to school and lillee was just taking it all in

Ivee was ready to go to school too

When the teacher came out Lillee knew who she was and was happy to see her

Prior to the kids going to kindergarten they have testing and visiting time with there teachers

Which I think is Fantastic Smart Idea they didn't do it with Audree

So Lillee did the testing and was ahead of the game

Teacher said Ok Class it is time to come on in

There was some kids still hovering over their parents but Lillee was determined

As she was walking up the ramp and about into the doors I said Hey Lillee High Five

She gave me a nice High Five and smiled and said See Ya Mom

 Our Girls Amaze Us Each and Everyday

 Lillee has a Kind Heart and really is very different from Audree....

I love the fact that the girls have all there own uniqueness about them

Lillee loves to be outside and to play with her sisters and her imagination is words cant describe

She has a sense like Audree that I loVe they don't need someone to teach them how to play they observe and learn them self... Lillee's favorite Movie and character is GODZILLA still to this day... LoVes Dinosaurs and Mothra...She loves to sing and play the lamp top.... I know at 5 yrs old I didn't know how to navagate the Internet or even play a computer...When she wants something she does it

 Sometimes I have to remind Lillee that is Ok to have Mommy & Daddy still help her

She wants to do it all by herself that is how she has been all her life.... I will never forget that day when me and her daddy was taking her up to her room for bed and at 6mnths old ... We layed her in her crib kissed her head good night and rubbed her sweet head and the next thing we heard Good Night... Now was an angel talking to us... It was our sweet Lillee... Or the time she was first born the nurse laid her on the bed facing the oppisite way of her parents and she well heard my voice and flipped right over... Lillee was my hardest labor even though it was only 15 and half hrs in the hospital bed No Movement Heart rate dropping Epideral wore off felt everything Mom couldn't breathe had to have oxygen mom's vitals not to good... and early... Dr. Barton was going to have to take me C Section... and I pleaded with him... Please can we wait and see what Lillee wants to do and Dr. said I will give it 1 Hr. or less depends on you and the safety of you both... Dr. Barton was the on call Dr. for Audree and he delivered Audree too... Fantastic Good Caring Dr. Well Lillee Came Natural All Around I got taken off the pit due to heart rate and mommy vitals...

 It was Hard to let Lillee go ... I was more nervous for her than she was she had to remind me that she would be right back home after school got out...Lillee has made tonz of friends... I walk her to school everyday and have a new little friend come up to lillee and give her a big hug...and they hold hands... She plays really well on the playground... She is a smart Cookie her teacher said sometimes she doesn't know it Lillee is bored cause she finishes her work so quietly and nicely...She is Our Lillee Monster and we love her to pieces... Ivee her sister doesn't like the fact everyone is in school at the big school and well she is at home getting home schooled by mommy...Lillee asked me the other day if we could wait on the sidelines and let her go in by herself... I was shocked and overwhelmed but I said Sure thing LoVe bug... As she was going in the door she turned and said Mom I forgot to give you this... and she came and gave me a High Five and said See Ya... A Mothers Moment Never to be forgotten...



Audree Kamille Thomas

 Audree's first day of 4th grade Yes I know Our Honeycomb is growing up so big

Alot has been changed with Audree

She woke up one day and was like I am going to be mature

and responsible

I am going to Help my Mom and Dad and do the Best I can...

She has done a a 180 on us

I couldn't be more pleased and BLESSED with her progress

her attitude and her strength and will power.

Most of you know Audree as overally active and in your face

She still is over ally active and in your face but not in an annoying way...

I can say that lightly cause I am her mom...

Her Teacher name is Ms. Horne and she loves Audree

and Audree LoVes her... HURRAY

I never thought we would be able to replace Ms. Girego her teacher

last year that really cared about Audree and so to say stepped in Audree's shoes

But We Did

Audree has had alot of teachers in her life already

Some have been good and some have been bad.

I think it has alot to do with giving her the opportunity to make her own choices and she will in the end know the consequence good or bad.

She LoVes to play with Pet Shop and she uses her imagination and her surroundings around her to use as pet shops supplies...

She asked me during the summer if I had toothpicks... I asked ummm Yes but what for

She said so that she could use them to make Tooth Brushes for her pet shops...

Other things that she has made is Lamp Tops for them and with cotton balls sleeping bags with a cut square of fabric... She uses bottle caps and milk carton lids for the plates and bowels.

Audree loves Math now... She use to hate it and didn't want to do it

Now that she is understanding her math she whizzes through it

She has always been a good speller and reader

LoVes Nature and Science cant get enough of that

Animal Planet some of the CraZy shows she watches I wonder

But all in all if that is what she likes I am not here to try to changed that...

Audree is Audree

LoVe her to Pieces

 Strutting her Stuff as usual... For me a Photographer and doing it as a Passion these girls have gotten use to the pictures and getting them taken... Cant really blame me considering when I was her age and even younger my mom never took pictures of us kids...

So I make it a priority Plus when I got my business and my passion it

fits perfect...

 Over the Years I have educated myself to enhance pictures ... I will have to say I LoVe how much more it brings the pictures out and tells a story....

 Audree is always ready to learn new things...

She loves to ride her bike to school that she got for her birthday from

Grandma and Pappa Bock

ThanXs again Mom and Dad

 Audree loves taking pictures herself and cam cording stuff

She is getting into the whole downloading her images and movies

and I am now taking her aside and teaching her the ropes of

editing and enhancing pictures

I downloaded the same program I use on her lamp top...

Beautiful Audree Kamille

She has been so excited to write her full name...

She loves cursive writing she says

look mom your not the only one that writes hieroglyphics...

Speaking of which Audree handwriting is getting so much more readable and she is taking her time at her every move as in school work and so forth

She says she likes to hear the positive comments

Which I DON'T Blame her at all...

And I say Hey if the kid needs the praise to continue this

goal and behavior and see that smile on her face...

I will take it ANY DAY NIGHT EVENING... YOU get the jest...

Adoption Hearing

This was a Long Road that had it twist and turns and finally we made it to the Goal

We turned all the papers in last 2 wks ago and I recieved a phone call the following week

to schedul our hearing date... It is schedule for August 17th 2012 we didn't know that

we would get a hearing that soon... We our overally blessed and couldn't ask for more.

Lillee and Audree will have the same last name as well as there sisters... We all going to be

forever Thomas's... Lillee knows that her last name is going to be changed from Bock to Thomas

like her Daddy's... Audree is excited more than words can describe... She has been asking when

do we go to court... The girls had ventured with us to turn in the paper work so they have been

along the process too. Audree cant wait to go to school and not have to explain to them her last name

isnt Rasmussen but she perfers Thomas instead... Plus another plus not so Long... He he he... Audree

knows the situation we have given her the choice over and over again. We stated to her that she still

is going to be apart of Rasmussen's life...If she chooses to... It is all up to her.... She said she has a speach

all prepared for the judge... I said really like what... I choose Daddy Erik.... he cares for me and loves me

like no other has except my mom and Pappa & Grandma Bock and Ohma and poppie... She has grown up so much all the girls have... They teach me each day to take it easy and they keep me on my toes... Oh but they do...I am grateful that I was able to do the research and get the papers that we needed for John to sign

and for us to turn into the court house... It was stated to me several times that our lawyer should be doing this....  I was so proud to stand up and say I am representing my girls in this case... I aslo got complimented on how well I was organized and how I had all the papers together...also by the ORS & DCFS & BCI most of the time they were kind.... and than when others stuck their nose into our business where it wasn't needed she got put in her place by one of the workers... I will never forget that day when I went into DCFS new building and this lady that wasn't even involved was you need to have your lawyer do this... Yada Yada yada to the front desk lady... and than I called the lady that I had talked to prior sweet old lady came out and said ok Here is what I need you two fill out and will send the back ground checks in the mail...So what would of cost over $2,000.00 dollars didn't... There has been alot of support and love throughout the years to come to this blessed day.... ThanX You Ra.... There will be alot of people in the court room tomorrow... to witness this Till the End of Time Family to be Forever in the Laws of the land.  I will post pictures later and know in my heart and everyone heart that this is the final puzzle piece to complete US...
