Fall is HERE~~~

Ok so I am doing better and it has only been 2 months since my last post lol!! The kids are adjusting to school very well this year.
Taylor is doing soooooo well this year and is earning 90%-100% days EVERY DAY!!! This makes for a very happy mommy and daddy! Taylor turned 8 in September, and man is he turning into such a sweet little "man". (I do have pictures to post but am not on that computer as soon as I get a chance I will post some on here) He did get a Nintindo 3DS for his birthday and is enjoying it, (when mom lets him play lol) He is doing very well accadimically and it seems that him and his teacher Mr. Rogers have a wonderful relationship. Taylor has a friend in his class from last year who had the same issues he did named Bakia. This is a great friendship for the both of them, they keep eachother on the right path.
Sarah is doing very well in the 1st grade this year. She is in Miss. Seeba's class. She is the #1 reader and writer in her class (I am so glad that I was able to pass down my love of reading to both of my children it is one of their favorite past times.) Sarah has also made some great friends this year, she even has a little boy named Zane as one of her best friends :) She still gets to see Corrin during recess though so she is pretty happy for that.
Brian and I are doing well, in November it will be 7 years. He is still working for Li-Cor and works very hard at his job to support our family. We appreciate it very much :)
I am doing well, sometimes I still have rough days but that is the life of a Crohn's patient or so I am told lol. Life has gotten a little easier in that aspect, and I am still adjusting to what I can and can't eat lol. I am also Sarah's daisy leader (well co-leader) so that keeps me pretty busy, so does Taylor's Cubscouts as well. I am thankful though that they are both able to have an activity that they enjoy. :) Well hopefully I will post soon and get some pictures up as well.

First day of school

So today the kids started school! They had such a great day! Sarah did make a few new friends, and even found her best friend Corrin is still at the school just in a different class. Mom made sure to talk to Corrin's mom and we have exchanged numbers so the girls can hang out sometim out of school :) Sarah also has a coat buddy named Zane, she says he's a little quiet but he is nice. Sounds like she will have somegood friends this year. She loves her teacher and is excited to learn all sorts of new things.
Taylor had a 100% day today!!! Mom is super excited on that and I am also very confident that our plan for the year will be successful. Tay really likes Mr. Rogers and has some friends from his class last year. He said today was ok, but all they really went over was the classroom and school expectations. Something that mom is glad that they went over.
A couple of blessings that I have noticed, #1 my children are wonderful. I am so thankful that they get along with eachother and are definantly best friends. They absolutely were excited for eachothers day and loved to listen to what the other did. #2 I have a wonderful husband who I love very much and is patient with me lol, with that is blessing #3 that my kids school is close enough that I can walk. Especially when on my way home from an appointment, on my way to pick up Brian and I some lunch for his lunch break I get rearended, and now have a broken bumper on the van. Thankfully noone was hurt and the van will be fixable. I am still able to drive it, she just needs a new rump lol. So needless to say mom and dad didn't get amigos, but mom did get a work out lol.
So it definantly was an eventful day for all of us, hopefully tommorrow will be slightly less eventful.

County Fair

Ok so first off, I really need to learn to take my camera places, especially when my kids are so darn cute. With that said I have no pictures of our trip to the Cuming County Fair up in West Point Nebraska. We went up there on Saturday and met Brian's family for a day of fun! The kids had a blast :) We got to watch part of the Demolition Derby (after the first eat mom and the kids were done lol) So we went on the midway and Sarah just had to ride the Scrambled Egg (which is the tilt-a-whirl, but she is right they do look like eggs lol) Taylor loved ridding the rides too. He didn't really have a favorite but sure did enjoy the fun house and bouncy castle lol. I think he will take after mom, I rode 2 rides and definantly relized that I am not a ride person any more lol. The kids got to do the duck game, and each got a prize :) Mom did get to enjoy some of the fair food, learning little tricks to keep the Crohn's down is great so I can afford to indulge some days, that and my stock pile of Immoduim AD lol.
The kids really did have a blast at the fair and it was a great way to end the summer. Tomorrow is the first day of school, and yes my camera is charged and sitting by my tv lol. So hopefully I will have some pictures for you all. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Summer is coming to an end

So I have been sitting here thinking, we have had a pretty good summer, but mom is so excited that school starts next week!!! LOL The kids are excited too. Sarah will be in the first grade this year. She has Ms. Seeba as a teacher. She is pretty excited for her class but is a little nervous because she doesn't have many of her friends in this class. We have talked, and she is excited to make new friends this year :)
Taylor is excited as well, and mom is pretty optomistic about this school year. I really think things will run a little more smoothly with this teacher. Taylor has Mr. Rogers, and I think it will be great for him to have a male teacher this year. He is excited because they will be learning about dinosaurs, and they get to go to Morril Hall and see the dinosaur exhibt. They will also be learning about chickens, and will get to grow them this coming spring. :)
Hopefully I will post pictures soon, and some pictures of there first day of school :)

Playing Catch up

Ok so I don't know that anyone will read this beings I have been horrible about updating our blog, but hopefully that will change now lol. Where to begin, well we have definantly had our share of surgeries and hospitals in the past year, I know in the last post I told you all about my wonderful hospital stays. In March this year Brian had to have hernia surgery, everything went well and he is back in the honey do list mode lol. I know longer work for Verizon, we parted ways in April, so since then I have been a stay at home mommy again. We figured it made more since with the summer coming up for me to stay home and have fun with the kids, instead of trying to find a job for the time being. :) The kids, well lets see, Sarah finished kindergarten and turned 6 in June. She will start first grade here in a couple of weeks. She is super excited and keeps asking if her best friend Corrin will be there. Taylor will be 8 in about a month, so that means mom needs to start planning his baptism. He finished 2nd grade and will start third grade this year. He is excited as well. Mom is just keeping her fingers crossed that this year will be a lot calmer then last. As for the summer we actually did do quit a bit, mom tried to do at least one outing a week. We had plenty of times where Aunt Haleigh came over and played, even uncle Aubrey and Aaram made a visit or two. We went to the zoo, the park and the library quit a bit. We did get to see my brother Chris and his girls back at the begining of June as well, they got to come up for a visit. We also met Michelle, who since July 23rd is my new sister in law!! Welcome to the family :) (lol she married Chris by the way) We are very happy to have a new addition. Also for the wedding we suprised my dad and my brother Nate was able to come up from Ohio to visit and be in the wedding. We missed his girlfriend Kelly, but are excited to say that they are having a new addition in the family that should be here around February! Lots of exciting new additions to our family!!! It just keeps growing.

Things have definantly been busy and hopefully the fall will slow down a little bit lol. I also hope that I will post more frequently so you may want to check back weekly lol. Untill next time here are some pictures from Chris and Michelle's wedding. Hope you enjoy. Chris, Michelle, Landon (Michelle's son) and cousin Teresa Bick (she officiated the wedding)
