A new year... a new you!

Hello... haven't posted much lately so I'll catch up real quick. The kids had an awesome Christmas. And a fun New Years Eve! We are back into the swing of things and handling the new situation well. The girls have adjusted nicely to our new life style. They are sooo excited to go to California in a couple weeks. We (my parents, sister and of course me and the kids) are going to DISNEYLAND!!! Disneyland for three days.. going to have a beach day... a day at Universal Studios... a day at San Diego Zoo and a day at Sea World. Add in a couple days of driving and that will sum up our adventure! We are all super excited. I can't believe a dream I have had ever since I was pregnant with Faith is finally going to come true. So the countdown begins! I'm still trying to figure out how and when I am going to work and go to school. But for right now... we are good. And very Happy! Thanks everyone for all your support! My children and I are sooo blessed to have such wonderful friends and family!

A Fabulous Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! We headed out to Rockford, to enjoy dinner and company with the whole family! It was nice to see EVERYONE! And as usual the kids had a blast showing off to the whole family. We are so very blessed to be able to spend the holidays together! After a yummy dinner and much needed conversation, my little sister Amy and I geared up to go do our holiday shopping. It was a freezing 6 degrees, but that didn't stop us! We waited in line at Toys R Us for over three hours... and had a AWESOME time! We got some amazing deals, but mostly the time I get to spend with my baby sister and the memories we make are far more exciting! Now on to Ava's 2nd birthday and Christmas! It really is the most wonderful time of the year!!!!

Thankful!

Today I am feeling very thankful! I'm so thankful for the amazing family I have. It amazes me how supportive they are. How much they give with out ever expecting something in return. For all the understanding they have and the love that radiates from them. Its so nice to have a family that are truely your best friends! Someone you can go to no matter what. How lucky am I? Not only that, but I am VERY VERY grateful for my three beautiful babies. I don't know what I did to deserve such beautiful, happy, sweet, loving kids... but I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have them in my life. They make me smile, they make my heart melt! Anyway feeling a very overwhelming feeling of love and graditude today!

Just a tiny update!!

So I still don't have a digital camera so once again there will be NO pictures! But just a quick little update, Faith is enjoying school! They do lots of fun things and she is really likes it! She is in dance and bowling and is sooo excited for Halloween! Kali is still Kali, tiny with alot of additude!!! She loves preschool and she is also in bowling and dance! Ava is growing like a little weed!!! She gets into EVERYTHING!!!! She is talking more everyday, learning how to push moms buttons too!!! Ethan is working a TON!!! Seems like hes never home, so I am back to being a railroad widow!!! We Love this time of year and there are lots of fun things to do! Now only if my children would be good maybe we could enjoy them!!!

Fall.... is here!

Faith is officially a kindergartner! Can you believe it? She absolutely loves going to school! She loves being independent so she loves riding the bus! She was kinda disappointed when she figured out that she already knew everything they were teaching but she has adjusted well... and is making a whole bunch of new friends! Kali is in her 2nd year of preschool! She couldn't be happier than to go and see her teachers and play with her friends, even if she is in the early class! Ava is giving us a run for our money! She is always trying to get outside! She loves animals and is slow but surely coming to love or at least like other people too! The weather has sure taken a dive on us! Last weekend my kids were in the fair parade and got sunburned! Yesterday it was only like 50 degrees!!! What? We love the fall at our house, it means the fair (which we did today) and warm yummy food, and HALLOWEEN! What could be better! I just wish that the days would slow down a little and that time wouldn't fly so fast!

The end of summer!

Our summer is coming to and end. Sad! Last weekend the kids and i loaded up the mini van and took off to bear lake. The weather was perfect... the kids not so much... which made the mom not to happy. But all in all we had a nice time! When we got home we had much to do.. including dance, ballet and registering for kindergarten! Yes, kindergarten can you even believe it!!! Well in the mix of all that I had a little accident which required and nose surgery! Barf! Anyway school starts thursday! Faith's teacher is Miss Law (who we are very excited about!) and she also has oreintaion on wednesday! Faith 6th birthday is tuesday so we will be adding a rodent to our house hold! Oh the joys of children! Hope everyone had a wonderful summer! We sure did! Can't believe how fast it went!
