Finally figured things out.

We finally got Jeremy's schooling figured out. He is signed up for a couple of night classes right now that scare me just a little. Sometimes he struggles going to night classes. He doesn't want to leave the family and the fun things we are doing. So looks like there will be an end to fun things here on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. :)

Daisha found out who her teacher is and that she has a few of her friends in her class. "Mem" took her shopping for her school supplies. They came home with a few extra things too...The joys of grandmas. So she is all ready to go. Thanks Mem!

We have been looking for houses to either rent or buy. We found out that we are on a month to month lease, we didn't know that. So we are just looking to see if we can find something bigger or something we can buy. We are just keeping our options open. I have a feeling that some close people aren't too happy with us thinking of moving so I just want to tell all our family and friends that are close...we are not moving to be away from you. We are not moving at all right now. But if we do move it will ONLY be if it's what is right for our family. If it's closer for Jeremy and his schooling, if it's big enough for our family, and if it's affordable for us. Right now it's just an option. Not every option is always a good one. We ask that everyone support us in the decisions that we are facing for our family. Thanks. We love you all!!!

Auntie

Ok, so I have been a bit of a slacker. I think I have good reason. We have been so busy finishing up projects before school starts back up. Daisha is going to be in first grade and Tucker will be going to Head Start. WOW...only 2 kids all day long. What a great day! :) I love 'em all they are just a lot of work so it's nice to get a break once in a while.

So the following picture is my neice on my husbands side. She is almost 8 months old. I had to post the picture because I am so proud of her for having her first lollipop. Yes I had a little something to do with it. Her parents weren't there when it happened and I'm not sure they were too happy when they found out. Oh well!


So with all that being said...I'm a great autie right? Well it's all going to happen again. My oldest sister Yvonne is having another baby. We are pregant at the same time...what a fun experience this is going to be. Beware husbands!!! ;) So my sister and her husband are very excited and anxious to find out if it's a boy. They both have 2 girls and they both want a little boy. I hope it all works out for them. Congrats Yvonne. I love you!!

My Birthday

So I am offically old in my book. I'm 27 now. Sunday was my birthday and it was an awesome day. The celebration started on Saturday. Laurie (my mother in law) came and picked up the kids. She took them to the store to get my birthday cake. They came back with a beautiful purple cake. (Purple is my favoirte color) Then Jeremy's uncle Bob and Jackie came over. Jeremy helped him pick out a lap top to take to Iraq with him. Then they stayed and had pizza and cake with us. What a great visit we had.



Sunday morning, as much I didn't want to I got up and went to church. After church Laurie and Greg came over and made me dinner. I love Laurie's potatoe salad. So as per my request she made that. It wasn't as good as she normally makes it beings she is in the middle of moving she didn't have all the ingredients, but still it hit the spot. Thanks Laurie!! After dinner we played a game of pinocle. Jeremy and I almost won. We didn't really finish the game but when we stopped we were only down by 30 points. That's the closest we've ever come to beating them...must be my birthday :)

My parents showed up with some browines...YUM! Then my sister came with some no bake oreo cake. It was all so yummy. We all just visited and after a while the kids got a little out of control so Papa Don took them outside. Next thing we know we see Daisha trying to ride her bike without the training wheels. She got scared and made Papa put them back on. But he tilted them so she wasn't really even using them. After about an hour she realized that she could do it and had him take the training wheels back off again. She is now riding a 2 wheeler bike with NO training wheels. My baby is growing up.



Tim McGraw

I forgot to post this but on Thursday of last week my mom and I went to the Tim McGraw concert. She won tickets on the radio...hmm, must run in the family. :) Anyways, she had "pit" tickets which is the standing room only area. My dad didn't want to go especially since he would have to stand for the whole concert so my mom invited me to go with her. We had a great time. Here are just a few pictures.
