lol.....

This picture is from a dentist appt earlier this year....


Let's see

We have a 4th grader, an 8th grader and a Junior in college.....


It's been a pretty great year. Busy Busy Busy.


Kyle had braces put on, Haley has been involved in everything she can(no comment) and Alex is working and going to school. So proud of them!

My dad moved to SC, my mom is doing pretty good. We lost a family friend(Sharon Willis) earlier this year. It was completely unexpected and very sad.


Hoping the rest of the year goes by slowly so that we can breathe!


Happy Fall!

end of 2012 and early 2013, in a NUTSHELL

This picture is from Jon and Staci's wedding in September. I will say that Kyle looks quite handsome.

All in all, everything is going pretty good. Been going to Zumba 3 days a week for about 5-6 months and now going to add in another day, ready for results!


Jon and Staci just informed us that Kyle is going to be a big brother! So excited for him!

Staying busy, as usual, with the kids' schedules.

Alex has officially moved in to her own apartment, and we assume doing ok. She doesn't stay in touch the way we would like, lol. But she is an adult and that is our problem :o)



SUMMER OF 2012

MY OH MY, this year is flying by. Alex is 19, 20 in November. Haley will be 13 next Wednesday, and Kyle just turned 8!!!!
Having a lot of fun with the kids this summer. Vacation in a week and a half. We need the time off. We have ran ran ran with baseball/softball and now starting soccer for Haley(Kyle didn't want to play.) AWWW the joys of parenthood. Is it bad that we LOVE watching the play but we LOVE it when the season is over? They probably do too!

My mom has been in her apt for almost a year, and seems to be doing well. I worry about her, but I can not let that consume me the way it used to do. My dad seems to be traveling some, so that is great for him!

Dave, just turned 38! WHEW!
I, on the other hand, am doing ok. Just getting ready to do school shopping(ALREADY) and then it's back to the school routine!

SUMMER TIME IS FLYING BY...

As I type this, I am preparing to send Kyle to 2nd grade! This whole summer has flown by. Alex leaves for EKU in 2 weeks, and Miss Haley will be prepping for her 6th grade year!

Kyle has decided not to play soccer this year, but we will still be making our way to the fields to watch Haley play! Kyle says he just wants to do Baseball and Basketball.


My mom is still in the nursing home, we are HOPING that SS comes through for her, she is truly needing it. There is no way she can work and support herself. She needs somewhere she can call home, but does need the helping hand she deserves. She will need someone to look in on her daily to make sure her meds are being taken and such.


Everything else, not news to report as of now.

IT'S HOT

Going into a weekend without the kids. :o) Fridays are nice but by Saturday I really miss Kyle, Dave does too. He is so much fun to have around. The girls are too. But Kyle has so much of me in him.

My mom is still in the nursing home. She called and said that she may be going to live in an Assisted Living situation. We will see. Tasha took Kyle to see her today, and Tasha said she cried the whole time. She really misses seeing him.

He had a baseball game last night. He got 3 GREAT hits. We were all so proud of him! He knew it too. He loved running home and making a score for his team. He also chose baseball over soccer for the Fall too. Surprisingly. His dad is happy with that decision though :o)

CRAZINESS

I HAVE GLOVES AND SOCKS ON AND IT'S THE MIDDLE OF JUNE...
ALEX GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL AND WILL LEAVE FOR COLLEGE AUG.19...
KYLE IS A SECOND GRADER....
HALEY WILL FINALLY GET HER BRACES OFF...MAYBE....
DAVE IS STILL GREAT....

JUST A FEW RANDOM THOUGHTS

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

IT'S RAINING IT'S POURING....NOW WAIT...THAT'S SNOW

Kyle's birthday is coming up in a week(YIKES) Crystal now lives in OH, and Alex is getting ready to graduate. I have to give a shout out to Haley, she is doing well, too. My mom seems to be getting better, but doesn't seem closer to moving out. Sometimes I feel like she is stuck in a rut. She seems better now that she is on her meds DAILY. It's amazing how an anti-depressant can alter you so quickly, in a good way. Dave is doing well, we just had our 3rd wedding anniversary. I love him sooooo much. Life is good.
