Under the Hood

So this past Saturday I spent most of the day at work. Not the best way to spend the holiday weekend, but you do what you have to do. While I was workin Wayne took the kids to their cousins house in Sanatquin where they went four wheeling and drew crazy pictures on the drive way. They were lucky enough to eat bbq ribs and homemade ice cream. After a fun filled day of playin with cousins and work we all headed home. On the way home Wayne had stopped to wash his truck. When he opened up the hood of his truck to spray down the engine he found a most unusual surprise..... A Birds nest with 5 blue eggs. Needless to say he didn't spray down the engine and drove home where the nest of eggs are setting undisturbed.

School's out for Summer

So we are in the last week of school for Megan and Kaitlyn and the end of the year performances have been great! Megan had her 2nd grade performance a few weeks ago. They sang some cute songs and a they all said their favorite poem. Megan did a great job and she was smiling the whole time. She memorized her poem and under the advice of her grandmother spoke slow and clear. Kaitlyn had her kindergarten graduation today. It was really cute. They sang several songs about all the things they had learned through out the year. They even sang one song that I sung when I was in elementary school. We spent all night getting her graduation dress ready for today. After all the songs were sung and we were able to watch a cute slide show. Then they were able to do the kindergarten graduation walk. They received a certificate of completion with their graduate picture. Kaitlyn was lucky enough to graduate with her two cousins Ethan and Erik.

I can't believe that I will have a 3rd grader and now a 1st grader. Ty will also start preschool this year. I guess Wayne and I are now offically on our way to being empty nesters. Time is going by so fast!

So, finally an update

It has been since before Christmas that I have updated my blog and instead of doing many posts to catch up I am just going to do one BIG post.

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. I had a fabulous birthday where the kids took me to see The Lighting Thief (my treat). Wayne and I got back together in March and moved in with his family out in the glorious land of Goshen. Easter was also fantastic! The Easter Bunny was very nice this year. I am still working for Subway as a quality control manager and enjoying most of the time. Wayne is still currently looking for employment, but is thoroughly loving being a SAHD.

Megan was baptized on Feb. 6th. It was one of the best days of my life. She is the greatest big sister to Kaitlyn and Ty and an amazing friend to her cousins. She is loving being around her cousins, but is missing her Cedar friends. She often tells me stories of things she and her friends did in Cedar. She is enjoying achievement days and just had her first Daddy/daughter date and won 3rd place in the powder puff pine wood derby with her cousin Courtney.Kaitlyn is her usual happy silly self. She is doing great in school and is also loving being around her cousins. She too is missing her best buddies Easton and Cole and can't wait until our next trip down south. Kaitlyn just had a procedure called a nuclear sanitises this past week to see if her kidney reflux had heal over this past year. It took two hours, but she was sedated and doesn't remember a thing. The results of the procedure were a little surprising. We found out that not only has her left kidney reflux stayed the same, but that she also has reflux on the right side. Our next step is to visit Dr. White at Primary Children's to see if she will need surgery to fix it.

Ty is getting bigger and bigger it seems each day. He is loving all the time he has had with his dad. They have become nearly inseparable. He has become quite the little gamer and loves playing his spider man game. He has also enjoyed riding the horses and the 4 - wheelers. He recently had his tonsils and adnoid out and has been sleeping in until nearly 10:00 am every morning. He also has become a talker and says some of the cutest things I have ever heard. He lets me know every day that I am his and he is mine.
Just last night we took the kids to their first AMA Supercross race. We had pretty good seats and we had great stadium food and were nice and warm. Then the rain came. It rained from the start of the first race a got worse as the night progressed. The kids did great up until the last 15 min. We got to see our favorite rider Kevin Windham win the race. By the end of the night we were soaked to the bone and very cold, but it made for a great family memory that we will never forget.
