The Crud!!

First I want to say thanks for the comments on my last post! Now I feel a little love!! Next it has been the week that will never end!! It started with Abby being sick middle of the night Sunday. She had what seemed to be the stomach flu. After the first day of no drinks or food, I was hoping that it was going to end. It didn't! She ran a fever of 102 for the next 2 days!! She finally was able to keep things down, but was just so dang tired and hot! Poor girl! Today she is finally back to herself, ready to go back to school. Not sure if sending her for just short day is worth it, but we will do it anyway! Now it is Thursday and Ethan started with the fever last night. This morning he was 103! What the CRAP!! I have cleaned everything!! They washed their hands so many times their hands are chapped! Oh my! It is going to be a really long winter. I have so many friends that are going thru the same thing! I am so sorry for you too! Hopefully once we get it, it will be over...So no fun news for this post. Things are just tending to sick kids. Thank goodness I got a girls night last night. Hopefully a date this weekend! Hope you all stay healthy! Love to all my friends and family that are still reading! I really appreciate it! --H--

Fall is here!

Fall has come! I am hoping that we are not done already. Fall is my favorite time of year! We had the privilege of having my Aunt Lorry here for a weekend. We decided that it was the perfect time to take our fall drive. The mountains were on FIRE with color!! It was amazing! I have lived here for 25 years and it is always like going the first time when we drive in our beautiful canyons. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family, beautiful smart children, an awesome husband, and live in a place this gorgeous!! I have to thank my Aunt Lorry for taking such great pictures and for coming to visit us! We love having family come and be with us! We miss you all so much and hope to see more of you soon!! (hint hint!!) HAVE A GREAT FALL! I already am!!

ps. I am not feeling much love on the posts...no comments?? Does this mean no one reads??

Football and 2 wheels?

Football has begun! We have started off with a bang!! First two games were total blowouts! A little sad for the other teams, but really fun to see the boys hard work really pay off. Third game Nick and I missed since we had a weekend getaway in Vegas. WE missed the best game yet! They won 21 to 19. Bray got the second touchdown by interception!!! This wasn't the first interception for him though, he has had 2 others, just not a touchdown yet! He loves this game so much it scares me! I hope that he has some serious growing spurts, so he can play into highschool. So proud of him! While we were on our getaway, Abby decided that she really wanted to ride her bike. Her training wheels were a little messed up, so Nana White took them off and after a few times with Nana's help, she was off!!! 2 Wheels! So last night for dinner, I gave her a glass (instead of plastic) to drink out of. She said "Mom I get a big girl cup!! It's because I can ride my bike on two wheels HUH!!" I love my kids!! Too much fun!!

PresChooL!!

So finally Preschool has begun! Well a few weeks ago, and I just haven't blogged!! Ryan started on a Tuesday with his good buddies Quinn and Evan! He was so excited that it was finally his turn! He had to take Ethan to preschool last year and never had his own turn. It is so fun that he has friends in the neighborhood going with him! I love my neighbors!! Ethan started the next day, He is able to go with his friend Kenzie! She lives in our neighborhood too! They are pro's when it comes to Miss Sue's, so they just wanted to get inside!!! They did stop for a min for a picture! So glad I have a little one on one time with each boy, each day! It is really fun! It is also nice that I have help with the carpooling, that way I don't go EVERYDAY to the school! Can't wait till next year. I will have 3 days in the afternoon to myself!! WOW!!

School is IN!!

School has begun!! Yeah!! Bray is the old man on campus!! Starting 6th grade has been so fun for him! He is so excited about being the oldest kids in school. He is excited about getting back to learning! He really loves school, not just for the friends, but for the actual work. Weird, he is not my kid!! Abby is now in the 2nd grade and is really happy to back with her friends, and for learning some new fun stuff in class! Her teachers name is Mrs. Chacon, which is very ironic, because my 3rd grade teachers name was the same! Also her Nana Mac's 6th grade teacher was the same!! I guess the girls are suppose to have a Mrs. Chacon!! Ethan and Ryan are starting preschool next week!! They are so excited they can't wait!! Ryan will be 2 days a week and Ethan will be the other 3 days! This is going to either be great, or just give mom a headache on trying to remember who go what day and when!! Good thing I have friends helping with the driving! Yeah for schedule and organization!

Another BIRTHDAY!!

OUR BabY is FOUR!! I can't believe that my baby is 4. Ry Ry is the funniest kid that we have! He really knows how to work a crowd. He loves to pick on his brothers and sister. Especially Ethan! He is going to be great at football and asks every time Bray is getting ready in football stuff if he can get ready too. Ryan's favorite color is Orange and sometimes yellow. He is so excited to start preschool with his buddies, Quinn and Evan! He loves his Mama the most! He loves to snuggle with me and get in my bed at night. (not fun for mom :0) We love you RyRy!! Glad you had a great birthday!!

EBOY IS 5!!!!

I can't believe it! Our Ethan is 5 years old!! Happy Birthday to the sweetest boy in the world! Ethan is such a flirt. He loves everyone he meets! And they instantly love him, you just can't help it! For his Birthday he decided that he wanted to go bowling at the place with yummy breadsticks. So we went to Fat Cats! Then he got to celebrate with all of our "friends" with a BBQ on Sunday! I had to limit the "friends" a little so we picked a special few! He had the "BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!" That is what he told me! I am so proud to be Ethan's mom. He brings joy to our lives everyday. He has a face that will melt your heart instantly. We love you EBOY!! So glad you had such a great birthday!
