More about me

So last we I had a bitter sweet departure from my externship. I was glad that I was finally done with my MA degree but I will defiantly miss working there. If anyone needs medical care and doesn't have insurance or would love to help support a growing local business go in and see them they are awesome. Chris Morgan is the provider there and he is great with his patients and cares for their well being a lot. I am looking for employment right now and would gladly take almost anything I can find. I applied for a job at the budge clinic through IHC and I would love to get the job so if you can pray for me to get the job or send me good vibes whatever is your specialty I would love the support from friends and family. Right now my jobs include looking for employment, being a mother and coupon shopping and I would really love to help contribute to the financial stability of my family so if anyone knows anything that is hiring I would love to put in an application. As the Holiday season starts up I hope that everyone is safe and thinks about the things and the people that they are thankful.

I am back

Sorry for those of you who have been wanting more information about what is going on in our lives. Well I have finished school at Stevens Henager for my MA I am just finishing up my externship which will be done at the end of this week. I really hope that they hire me where I am doing my externship because I really love working there with them. Steve is still working with Schriebers and it really is nice to have a steady income in this economy. Caelum loves school and he is in the 1st grade now. Tavin just turned 5 and asks me every day when he can go to Kindergarten. Jessery is 3 and loves to sing and dance and that is pretty much what she does most of the day. We are pretty much doing great here just living every day the best that we can.

One more down 5 to go

Tonight I finished my research paper for this Mod and I am done with all of the homework for this class so I just have 2 more days in class and it is done. After this mod is done I have 5 more to go and only 4 of them are medical classes. I can't wait until I am done it seems like I have been going to school for a such a long time. I think the kids are just as ready as I am for me to be done with school. Thanks to everyone who has helped me out with this crazy adventure and I hope that you know what it means to me.

Having some fun

Well this last weekend was pretty fun and spontaneous. We decided to take the kids to build a bear because they have never been there. They each got an animal and they were able to wash them and then get birth certificates for them. Caelum got a very hairy do and he named him Ruffy. Tavin got a black bear and he named him Beary. Jessery got a dog with spots and named her Puffer. We decided to spend the night up there Saturday night so we stayed at the Shilo Inn. The kids have never been to a hotel before so they thought it was so awesome. Caelum loves kindergarten and I am really amazed at how much he has learned since he started. His teacher is sending home books for him to read and pass off to her and she said at the rate he is going he should be reading chapter books by the end of the school year. He also got tested at the beginning of the year to see where he was and they estimated bench marks that they want the kids to improve to before the end of the year. Well with 9 weeks left of school he has already passed his benchmark by double on most and triple on the rest. I was surprised and very pleased that he has improved this much. Tavin is working on his name right now and he knows how to spell it and he knows how to write his T and a and almost has the rest of it down. We will be doing an at home preschool for him when Caelum starts 1st grade this fall so that he can learn everything he needs to know before he goes to kindergarten in 2012. Jessery loves reading and trying to do everything her brothers do like drawing and running, We are probably going to try to get her to so some preschool stuff this fall along with Tavin so that she has something to do because she wants to stay busy. Tomorrow morning we are going to sign up for Planet fitness so that Steve and I can get healthier. I am going to be going at 5:30am every morning with my friend so that we both can encourage each other to lose the weight that we want and need to. Steve will be going with a friend from work possibly after they get off of work because that is what will work best for them. I can't wait to hop on those treadmills and get jogging. I really do love to run but I am so out of condition that I haven't been able to for a long time.

Home full of sickies

Well it is official I think we are all sick. I wish that there was some sort of a Mommy is sick nanny so that when mommy is sick someone can come in and take care of the kids and the Mommy and Daddy. Jessery has RSV and I think that we might have the RSV virus and so that really sucks. I was going to go and go wedding dress shopping for my older sister with all of my other sisters and my Mom but I decided to stay home so that I wouldn't get anyone else sick which is a bummer for me but I am pretty sure everyone else was glad that I didn't spread the illness. I hope that we can get better soon because I am sick of being cooped up in the house all day with only minor breaks. I love the snow, but I want the summer so bad right now.

My kids

For those who don't know already kids grow so fast. Caelum is 5 (really it doesn't feel like he should be that old) he is reading everything in sight and he loves to make me little cards and pictures. He is sounding things out to write them so one of his letters to me said 'dir mommy i have tomis and he is blue' it was so cute. He also wrote grandma a little note and he spelled it just how it sounds grama. I am really noticing how much of the American language is not sounded out but just sight memorized. Tavin is 4 and he is such a little cuddle bug when he wants to be. Tavin looks up to his brother so much and he wants to do everything Caelum does. Tavin's favorite thing to say right now is 'I missed you' it is so cute and he says it just when I need to hear it. He has been such a big helper lately and I love being able to spend a little time with just him while Caelum is at school and Jessery is asleep. Jessery is 2 and she is such a little cutie. She loves to dance until she realizes that someone is watching and then she will run and hide. We are working with her on potty training right now so I hope that she will catch on soon and then we will be diaper free in our home. I love the snow but I can't wait till summer comes and it is warm enough to take them out to the park and out for walks again they are sick of being cooped up in our duplex all day and I don't blame them. I hope to update this every week to keep the family and friends who are out there up to date.
