Catch Up

Well its been a long 6 months.....the boys are growing up so fast. Ahren is now finished with 1st grade....on to 2nd in August. He lost his first tooth last month also. He was really excited about that. Kadin is talking alot (smtms more than he should) LOL! He is still potty training, he's stubborn. Jeremy & I are great. Life moves on quickly.....in October we will be celebrating our 11th anniversary. 11 years!!!!!!! We are still working hard everyday to give our family everything we can. Life is good to us but could always be better. Can't wait for this year to be over, hoping next year will be better financially. Well more details later to come........

catchUP!

Wow it's only been what, 4 months since my last blog...? Well life goes on here. The boys are doing great. Ahren is top of his advanced reading class now & Kadin is potting training, which is going very well. We have recently hit a point though that now going potty is a bit more of a chore for him. Both of the boys are growing more & more independent everyday. Ahren is trying to learn to ride his bike without training wheels & Kadin is now going up & down our stairs like a bigger boy. Kadin is talking a lot more these days & Ahren....well he just never stops talking. LOL!
I can't think of much that happened in September,but in October we had a farely good Halloween. Ahren was a Star Wars Clone Trooper & Kadin was a scarecrow. They were both adorable & got lots of candy. We had a couple of picture sessions which all turned out very good.
November brought family time. With family coming in we decided to rush a home project in our living room. We had a banister rail & we tore it down & built a half wall instead. This works for us so much better. Now we no longer have to worry about the boys falling through the railings.
December brought rush shopping & christmas wishes out the bottom. Ha Ha. We definatley had a good Christmas. The boys got spoiled. Ahren got his Xbox 360, a keyboard, bionicles, psp game & several other things. Kadin got a tickle me cookie monster to go with his tickle me elmo, a satin lovely, books & other sesame street toys. Jeremy got clothes, Xbox 360 games, movies & a PS3 t.v. controller. I got a conair foot massaging soaker, a laptop table, a digital picture frame & my favorite lottery scratch off tickets. Together we got an HDTV Sony 40 inch flat screen t.v., which is very cool.
Other things are going well. Jeremy is still busy at work & as stressed as ever. My job is still going well. A few things with my employee but we've managed to move forward so far. My office is finally getting a new home January 19th though. We have finally got our okay & our relocation check list. So soon enough my center will hopefully be growing & bringing me in more money!
Well I am hopeing this new year will bring us more happiness & prosperity. As to everyone else too. I will TRY to keep this blog updated more often as well. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Update!

A lot has happened this month.
I flew to Kentucky for a business meeting, which was my first flight. I got to experience sitting in a freaking airport for 12 hours the 1st day & 8 hours the last day. Other than that class went well, I made some new friends, whom are hilarious! Hi Girls!
My wonderful friends John & Valene announced that they are pregnant! Congrads U 2! Also Jeremy's cousin Amanda announced her & Adam are pregnant as well. Congrads again to ya'll!
We started potty training Kadin this week. He's doing very well with it. A lil' candy never hurts as a bribe. LOL! He's growing so fast, talking so much more & developing an attitude that drives me nuts. Lol!
Ahren started 1st grade today. He loved it & loves his teacher too. He too is growing so fast, as well as developing that attitude that drives me nuts. lol!
My work is keeping me busy. I'm hoping to relocate my office soon. My regional trainer invited me to Dallas to help teach classes. I'm not going tho. My office needs to catch up from my 2 weeks i was gone & my family may not last 2 more weeks without me (or so i like to think).
Jeremy & Heath did a great job keeping the house standing while i was gone tho. Thank U Guys!Kind'a sad to say that after 2-3 months with us this time, Heath moved back out again. I wish him & Jeanie the best....again. Hopefully things work out this time for good. I'm gonna kind'a miss Heaths help with the laundry & in the kitchen. Good Luck U 2!
Well i'm still loving my new car! Gas sucks, but that was my sacrifice for my perfect car.
Jeremy is still just as stressed as ever with work, but doing well.
Guess that's enough for now. I'll write more later.

A Big Life Changing Experience This Coming Week...

Well this week is definatley gonna be a challenge for our family. I am leaving town sunday nite to catch a flight monday morning for a business trip. Jeremy will have the boys by himself to get up, get dressed, fed breakfast & teeth brushed to go to daycare all week. So i'm not sure which is scarier: me on a plane or jeremy with the boys for a week. Hope my house isn't destroyed when i get back & no one is completly crazy insane from stress. Well I fly outta springfield monday @ 6:30a.m. & layover in memphis til 9:15a.m. then from there to lexington. Monday thru friday of learning & relearning & class after class. Hope all the close family can check in on the boys for me. I'll be missing my boys! A week away from everyone sounds a bit relaxing but yet not. I know i'll cry my eyes out. I'm sure i'll be ready to get home. Well everyone take care & pray for me next week.

relief or headache...?

What a day! Had a bit of an issue with my csr @ work today & she quit. Not sure how else i could've handled it. A LOT of drama in my office & i just had enough of it. Finally had my last nerve pinched & i felt that it all needed to be addressed. But oh well, life goes on.
The boys are good. Kadin has had a problem walking into walls & continuously bruising himself today. He had a heck of a day @ daycare too. But he just seemed very cranky & tired today.
Ahren went bowling today with daycare & had a blast. He spent all of his money anyway.
Well as i've already said, life goes on. I get to work tomorrow now & Angie is keeping the boys. Ahren always as so much fun with his meemaw. Okay it's late & i'm getting tired. BTW I still Love my new car!!!! It's so perfect!!!! Okay good nite all.

Another day....

Well i got my car on 6-20-08. I haven't had time to get pictures yet. I have a few but gotta get them on my computer first. I Love It!!!! The boys love it too. It drives & rides so great. I don't feel like i'm being shaken to death anymore once i hit 50mph. lol! It's weird to think about me having a new car. I drove the ole' neon for 8 years. Sometimes I still forget that my new car has automatic locks & windows. I still catch myself trying to reach down to roll up the window. lol. It's embarrassing sometimes. Ha! Things have been crazy around here. It feels like life is running off without me. Not enough time to get everything done & relax a bit too. Ahren finished summer school. So now he'll start 1st grade in August. Some of the things he says & does just amazes me. He's definately our lil' man of the house. See what i mean....?........Kadin is a terror at times. He's much more of a rough-houser then Ahren ever was. He likes to wrestle, play around & be the center of attention. He also has the biggest attitude out of everyone else in the house. Jeremy & I are doing great as well. We just work alot. Then try to squeeze in everything else. Our basement is still a mess. We have all the walls studded but not all of the sheet rock up yet. But atleast we've got something done this year on it. I'll try to get some new pics posted asap. I have some on Jeremy's computer that i need to transfer over. Jeremy's been figuring out photoshop so we have some really awesome pics to show off. So keep checking back. I'll get this updated with more info & pics soon.

New Car!

Well I bought a new car! I don't have it yet tho. The dodge dealership bought it in MI so i have to wait 9 days before it comes in. I'm so excited! It's the car i've wanted for the last 4 years. I got a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. It's linen gold, 3rd row seats. It's got a cd player & automatic/standard gear shift. Well i'll post a pic when i get it. later later.
