Great weekend

Just thought I would give an update. Kyle is not biting......as much.....other than his sister anyway! Our potty training is going OK. He is still having a couple accidents a day, All in all that's not bad. Harvest has officially started this past weekend. So we will not be seeing Scott as much. I usually take the kids out to the field or farm in the evenings to see him and to get a ride in the combine or the 2-ton. Kayla and I went to Lanna McClures wedding this past Saturday. It was a beautiful day. She got married out at CIPS Lake. What great weather for an outside wedding. Things are really slow at work during the months of September and October, which is a good thing. I have a bone test on Thursday this week, so that gives me lots of time to study. I don't know if any of you watch Army Wives on Lifetime on Sunday evenings, It is my favorite (only) show I watch. I was having trouble staying awake last night to watch it. And when it finally came on at 9:00.....it was a rerun=( Good thing i guess... I got to bed early. Next weekend is Homecoming at Newton, so I have to work that afternoon in Newton. Saturday we have a big wedding party coming in at The Main Cut. I think this is the last wedding for the year so that means no more Saturday work days! yeah, yeah!
OH, Kayla had the pleasure of having Mrs. Meinhart for a substitute teacher on Friday last week(at the high school pre-k). Mrs. Meinhart is my sister-in-law. Kayla was so excited. She told everyone! So a big shout out to Mrs. Meinhart! Kayla said you were a GREAT TEACHER! Well, that's all for now. Hope everyone has a great week! Say a prayer for me and my bone test!

Kyle's a big boy

Just want to say that we are trying to potty train Kyle. We are doing fairly decent, better than 50% or even 75%. He still has his days, but if he starts being a big boy, he has a new CASE IH tractor waiting for him. Say a few prayers that all goes well......I think I may need them =)

Pay Backs Suck!



So, since about spring, we have been having trouble with Kyle biting at the babysitters. He likes the taste of Wade Zumbahlen. We told Kyle that if he bit Wade again he would not get to go to the farm with dad to plant (spring time). Well, it worked, or we thought it did. We finally thought we had that "phase" over with. Then along came a new kid, Jackson. On Wednesday of last week (i think it was Wednesday), Kyle bit Jackson right above the eye. Jackson's mom was not happy.... I was NOT happy...... Kyle was not happy either when I put dish soap in his mouth. We gave him a good talking too and sent him back to Linda's on Thursday. When I picked him up that afternoon, Linda said "he tried to bite Kayla 3 times today". Now, the way I figure...What did Kayla do first? But, non the less, he can not bite anyone, not even Kayla. So more talking and back to Linda's on Friday. Friday afternoon I went to pick up Kyle at Linda's again and I asked Kyle if he was good today.....Kyle said " Wade bite me" I said "What?" Kyle said "Wade bite me" I looked at Linda and she was shaking her head up and down....yes. FINALLY... HE GOT A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE. I have been waiting for this for months. Now, some of you may ask....Why didn't you bite him? I did...He laughed at me.....I really did bite him, HARD. Well, Wade got him good. He even drew blood. Linda said Kyle tried to bite Wade first and Wade got away and then Wade went after Kyle. Saturday the kids were playing in the living room and Kayla pissed him off and he went after her to bite.....I grabbed his arm and asked him if he was going to bite Kayla and he said "yes" so I bit him on the arm. He cried. I didn't even feel sorry for him. I also told him that if he even tried to bite anyone that I would bite him when he got home. So, all weekend we discussed how Wade bit him and how bad it hurt. Today, I put Kyle in the truck to go to Linda's and said "Bye" to the kids and said "Kyle remember...no biting....if you bite, I bite. They had a good day at Linda's today! No biting. Please put in a prayer for us the rest of this week =;) I hope you enjoy the pictures ;)

Please say a prayer

Please say a prayer for the family of Mary Zerrusen. Mary passed away on Friday. Susan and I (mostly Susan, I only helped out when Susan wasn't available) have been doing her hair, for about 5 years now. We will miss her. She was an AWESOME lady. Susan and I had the pleasure of fixing her hair for her today. She looked Beautiful!

Nice Job Eagles!



We went to the first Newton Home Football game this past Friday. They played the Olney Tigers. We have reserved seats on the west end of the stadium next to the press box. My brother and sister and their families sit up their too. We are on the second row from the top! Great seats! Only one complaint, The cheerleaders don't throw much stuff our way!


Our nephews, Dusty Lindemann # 75 & Ryan Kocher # 73, play for the Eagles. As well as the neighbor kid Dominic Ginder # 58. My kids also know # 13 --- Scotty Mo. he spent a lot of time at the Wallace house this summer visiting with the daycare kids.


So, Kayla and I went to the game Friday night and I wrote the #'s of these boys on Kayla's hands so she could remember who was who. Kayla cheered all night, "Get them white guys, Eagles!" "Knock'em down, Eagles".
The Marching Eagles looked sharp in their new uniforms!


Nice Job Eagles!

Kayla's First Day Of Pre-K





Kayla had a great first day at school today. She even wants to go back tomorrow! We had a rocky start this morning, because she had to go to Linda's first and then to school in the afternoon. She couldn't hardly wait. I went to Linda's on my lunch hour and watched her get on the bus. The bus was late...but we waited patiently. I did good, no crying. But every time I won't up Monday night, I was thinking about Kayla in the hospital with RSV for 5 days at 3 weeks old. (Mainly a certain aunt that came to visit me......One of my most special memories of the whole ordeal...you know who you are....THANKS) Anyway, hear are the pictures of "Our Special Day". Kyle was really excited about Kayla getting on the bus too. I think he was secretly happy she was leaving for a few hours.


PS...I have my first Anatomy test tomorrow......I should be studying......wish me luck!
