Wow It's been a bit

So My sister decided to start blogging and I'm looking over it remembering I enjoy this as well so here we go. Since my last post 3 years ago.

Rylee is now 7 years old. We made the decision to have her repeat 1st grade this year and it has turned into the best decision we've made. She has bloomed so much and her teacher says she could easily be the smartest in her class if we could just get her to focus. A month ago she was diagnosed with ADHD, Jeremy and I where pretty sure she had it but the diagnose only came in last month. She has turned into the most beautiful little girl and still has a heart of gold. Oh and she is now a Girl Scout :)

Jakob started kindergarten this year and is now 5. Can you believe it my baby boy is a little man now. Oh how he loves school and loves to please. We did have to laugh when his teacher told us it was so hard to get on to him whenever he gives her "the pout". And I do believe this child has "the pout" down better then me lol. And he can't wait till next year when he can join Boy Scouts.

Jeremy still loves installing fire alarm, he recently went to work for a new company that is my favorite so far since I don't have to do his laundry lol.

I finished school and worked for about 6 months and decided my place was at home with my kids. So I stayed home till Jakob started kindergarten this year and then I started driving a school bus. Yes I know all that schooling and I'm not using my degree, but look at is this way. I make the same amount and don't have to pay for child care. Now you see why I don't use my degree lol.

We have been members of Lifepointe Fellowship for 3 years now (and actually go every Sunday). We moved back to Mckinney to be closer to the church and God has blessed us in so many ways. As a married couple we struggle still from time to time, but I find myself more in love with him today then the day we where married.

This Crazy life

So I've been sick for a couple of days now and have had enough. I have many symtoms and not sure what it is, hopefully the doctor can figure it out today.

Rylee is doing great at school, we've finally gotten into the groove. Jakob doesn't look like he feels good either.

Thanksmas was wonderful this year, looking forward to it next year. Here's some resent pics of the kids.

Day 2

So I need to know am I the only one with the apprehension. Starting tomorrow I am suppose to just drop her off at the front of the school. Will she know where to go? Will a teacher direct her where she needs to be? I'm so scared for her but don't want her to know that because I want her to keep this conquerer of the world attitude she has about school. She's so proud of herself and loves school, but she's still my baby girl, I've been wondering if I made a mistake putting her in PreK but then she came home yesterday talking about all they did. Now that she's there again and I'm waiting to go get her I am wondering the same thing. Please tell me other moms go through this and I'm not just a freak!!!

Ry's first day of school

It started last night at 7 pm when she took herself to bed. I went in there this morning and said wake up sunshine it's time for school. She was down from the top bunk and dressed in 5 minutes I had to make her sit down and eat breakfast. When I dropped her off in her class she gave me a hug and kiss and pretty much said see ya. I didn't start crying until I heard them say it's time for the pledge and to start school all family members need to start heading for the exits. (I was already there so she didn't see me, but me being the emotional fool I am started bawling.) The guy behind me giggled and when I turned around and looked at him I got a, "sorry just remembering my wife the first time we dropped my son off here. Your little one is in good hands." It made me laugh and make it to the car before i got teary eyed again when Jakob wanted to know "where RyRy." Okay there goes my sob story here's what you all want the pics.

Another one

Isn't life interesting, Rylee's preschool teacher was one of Tina's teachers in high school. Everytime I make a comment to anyone they seem to think I'm upset about something. I am not upset with anything or anyone, I just want to make a comment every once in awhile expecially when it deals with me and my family to. So take a deep breath and remember the eggshells won't break I hard boiled them. I love you all and here's some pics of the kids playing at Ry's new school and a pic of the kids with their wonderful cousins that just joined us here from Florida.

Finally an Update

Okay I figure if Britt can right a real update I can let everyone know how we're doing these days. Jeremy is over his 90 days on his new job and insurance will kick in Sept 1st (whoohooo). Rylee starts PreK August 25th (I'm kinda in shock), and I have loved going shopping for her new clothes. She's finally out of toddler and can start wearing 4's in little girls (they've got some cute outfits, Britt and I where wishing some of them where in our sizes yesterday). Jakob is well Jakob, he's finally talking legibly, I'm not sure how he will handle her starting school, but we will get through it. As for me I made the President's list at school again, I'm now the president of the evening chapter of the medical club, and am a ambassador of the school. I love school, crazy I know, but this was my choice so maybe I see it different then I did in high school. Don't get me wrong I'm still a social butterfly but I do my school work to ( this is why I haven't really had time to post lately).

Okay so now to the pics on how the kids are growing
