I can't believe how far behind I am on posts! I want to blog, I think about it, but then I never get time in front of the computer. I've tried doing it from my phone, but the posts end up in cyberspace somewhere and not on here, so I give up on that. Let's see if I can do a quick recap of the last 3 months.
Christmas - we drove, yes, drove, to my parents house. Overall the trip wasn't bad, Garrett got sick about 15 miles outside of town, but other then that the drive was pretty uneventful. Once we arrived in Michigan, Matt got terribly sick and we ended up at Urgent Care on Christmas Eve and the ER the day after Christmas. Turns out he had Type A Influenza and some other infection I can't even think of the name of right now. His Christmas vacation involved a lot of laying on the couch feeling miserable :-( The kids, on the other hand had a blast! We saw as much family as we could cram in and then drove home. We celebrated Christmas with Matt's family on New Year's Eve that was also fun, especially for the kids. Matt was still feeling pretty miserable on New Year's Eve so we laid on the couch and did nothing. That's ok tho, after the whirlwind trip we had, hanging out relaxing was just fine with us!
January was rather uneventful, or as least as I remember it, lol.
February brought a few birthday's and an anniversary to the house. Garrett turned 6 on Feb 1, Payton 3 on February 16, Matt and I celebrated 8 years together on February 12, and I had a birthday on February 18. This year I was just not into planning a party at the house, so we opted for two parties on the same day. In the morning we had all the family over and Matt made some of his famous chili, then in the evening we had a swim party at Aerofit. This worked out great! The grandparents were able to enjoy the kids and see the joy on their faces from the gifts they received, and there weren't a bunch of kids runnning around. In the evening, the kids could be loud and crazy and Matt and I got to visit with our friends and not feel bad about anyone getting splashed or worrying about who can and can't handle the stairs, etc. The kids had a blast, of course! The swim party was a huge hit and I think that theme may be revisited one day.
The business is hanging on, it has it's ups and downs, being gone for Christmas hurt us but we are back on track now. School is going great, I am still maintaining an A average, so I'm very excited. I've just applied to both Kansas State University and Eastern Michigan University. I'll need to transfer for my senior year, then I'll take my licensing exam and go on for my masters, but that's still a ways off.
Payton is doing great! She is such a happy kid, we still haven't hit the terrible 2/3/4's, I know it will hit, but she's still just an easy going kid. Her newest thing is to wake up and climb into bed with us, Garrett never did this and Matt and I both struggle with putting her back to bed. Lately she's falling asleep on her floor, not sure what's going on with that, but I just go in and move her. We are constantly struggling with her and her hair, she just does not like it pulled back, so we've "donated" a lot of hair ties and clips to Powersports.
Garrett is doing great as well, we are trying all kinds of new things at school and home to help keep him focused and on track. His big thing is he hates his glasses, so that is a big struggle for us, but what would life be with a kindergartner without some sort of struggle! We are so proud of him though, he was recently tested for the Gifted and Talented Program and was accepted!! I'm not entirely sure what all this will entail but we are so proud of him! Yesterday, I was able to go on a field trip with him to Blue Bell and that was so much fun! I'd never been before, so that part was pretty fun, but getting to spend the entire day with just him was just what he needed.
Ok, I don't want to make this too long, I just wanted to do a quick update and I am making a commitment to myself to post at least once a week. The whole point behind this was so I could remember my kids as they grew up and I'm already forgetting things from 3 months ago!!
