Full of news

So we went on a little road trip with the inlaws to eastern Idaho. We saw a little bit of spud days and we hit the DI's on the way. It was a fun trip. We left Daisha and Tucker home with Anne and Jason, which was an adventure in itself. Daisha and Tucker were both in school when we left and Jas was in charge of getting them off the buses in the afternoon. About half way to our destination I get a phone call from Tucker's school saying nobody picked him up off the bus. Let me remind you that this was the first day they had a bus for him to ride, the other days I had been taking him because it was just the first couple days of school. Long story short Jas pulled through and picked Tucker up at the school. Poor Tucker just had to ride the bus for an hour instead of just the normal 20 minutes.

While we were in Eastern Idaho Jeremy, Bryton, Jillian and I stayed at my friends' house Trevor and Shanna's house. There was so kind to open their house to us even with the messy don't sleep through the night children. :) We had a blast playing games and eating Shanna yummy meals she made for us. I never knew she was such a good cook. Thanks Trev and Shan for opening your house to us. We GREATLY appreciated it!!!!

At one of the DI stops we found a puzzle for Bryton. He made everyone help do the puzzle immediately when we got to our destination.



This is kind of random in the middle of this post but everyone has a picture of their child sleeping in the high chair. This is the first time it has happened with Jillian. So I had to put it on here.



We arrived home from our Eastern Idaho trip and just a couple days later I had a doctors appointment. I found out that I am having a BOY. What a surprise to me. Now I am really connfused as to what life is suppose to bring my way. So Jeremy and I will continue to search for that answer, but I am leaning towards this is the last child for us. I think he is too. He likes the fact that the boys will out number the girls. :) Jeremy is pretty excited to be having another boy! And so I am.

A few days later I watched my nephew Zakary who is 5 months old. That was a handful. Gave me a taste of what it will be like after I have this next baby. Well, it will be quite a bit different because he will be my baby and he won't cry wanting mommy...cause I will be the mommy. :) Anyways, Zak is growing up so fast. I can't believe it. Jillian loved playing with him.



Jillian loves to play hide and seek. Isn't she just so cute. I love my baby girl!!!



Well I wish that could be the end of my post but I can't just end there. We got news on Saturday that my grandma, who lives on the East Coast (New Hampshire), has a tumor on her brain that is cancerous. They have since then done a full body scan and the cancer is no where else to be found. And the tumor can be removed by surgery. We don't know for sure when the surgery will be, they are thinking sometime after Tuesday. So Jeremy's best friend from high school, who is a pilot, has been nice enough to get me a ticket to fly over there to see my grandparents. And help take care of them. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU BRAD!!! So I will be flying out on Tuesday morning the 28th. And I will most likely be there for a week. So I will take some pictures of the area and things there and will post when I get back. Wish me luck and keep me and my family in your prayers. Until I return...

Pictures I promised

Sorry it took me so long to get these pictures on here...But just as promised. Better late than never I guess. :)

Our baby girl is walkin' up a storm. In these pictures she still looks a little wobbly, but she isn't anymore.


Bryton and Tucker on the way to the bus stop.


We got a bit distracted on the way to the bus stop.


"Patiently" waiting

Finally the bus came!

Jillian can walk

That's right. Jillian can walk all by herself. She just started this week so I am really sorry I don't have some pictures to post I will try to get some this coming week, when she is a little stronger and can go a little further by herself.

Also this week, on Sunday she drank out of a straw for the first time too. Her big sister Daisha taught her that one. Nice work Daisha!

Tucker starts school tomorrow. He's pretty excited. The hard part is going to be making him wait until school starts. He doesn't start until 12:00 (noon) so it's going to be a long morning. I will post some pics of him this next week along with ones of Jillian walking.

It's now time to spend some quality time with the husband. He rented me a couple of movies today so I better go see if they are any good. ;)

Almost forgot

I almost forgot to tell you that Tucker can ride a bike without training wheels. He is so proud of himself!!

Didn't realize

Daisha getting ready for her first day of first grade.

Going to school. My big girl is in 1st grade.

Wow, I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted something. Sorry it took me so long. We are finally in a routine around here. Jeremy has school just a couple days a week with a couple online classes, while Daisha is off to school all day every day. And Tucker will be starting school in less than 2 weeks. Getting up so early every morning to get Daisha off to school has been killing me. I am not a morning person and once I get her on the bus usually one of the other kids are awake so I can't go back to sleep. I am hoping I can sleep in tomorrow but Jeremy has this crazy idea of yard saling...I might have to skip this time. I'm draggin'.

With Jeremy's classes he is already doing really well. I know it's early but in all 3 of his online classes he has an A and in one of his other classes he's got an A. I'm not sure that they've done much in the other classes he is taking. But I am proud of him. He has been doing really well studying and being prepared for his classes. I hope this semester he can get his GPA up a little. I know college is hard, especially with a full time job and a big family but Jeremy if you are reading this I want you to know I think you are doing a GREAT job! Keep up the good work. I love you!

I am proud to say I am almost past the first trimester of the pregnancy. YEAH! Not that it's been too bad but it just always seems better after the first trimester. And I am a slacker. On Tuesday I am going to call and get an appointment made to see the doctor. I need to have that on my priority list.

Well, my in laws got their new house in Middleton. They have all their things there, let's just say that. They moved everything to the house before the carpet was put in so they just had everything in the garage. They now have the carpet put in and the next day they found out the had a leaky pipe in their master bedroom, soaked the brand new carpet and ruined the freshly painted walls. So they still can't move all their things in yet. I feel so bad for them. They have been living out of boxes and suitcases for the last month and a half and now they are in their new house and are still living out of boxes and suitcases. But at least they are under the same roof. They were living across the state from each other because of their jobs. I'm sure they are pleased about that. So the point of the story was, we have spent a few nights helping them move things and paint and this and that, things that come with moving to a new house. I sometimes feel like I am not much help with all the children running around but I'm sure they just enjoy the sound of the grandkids. I hope anyway. :)

So I think that about does it for news from us. So until next time. Enjoy life to the fullest.
