Summer update!

Okay, so the last few weeks have been really busy for me. Lot's of test and homework. But nothing I can't handle. :) I have 2 tests tomorrow and one final and a abdomen Lab exam on Monday. Then on Tuesday I have two more finals. Then I will be done and have a little summer break before I go back for the fall semester on the 24th. Currently, I am getting B's in all my classes (3). I am really close the the A/B border (Bottom A is a 92). I am pleased with that!
Today, I got out of class early and went to the High School to register Kayla for Kindergarten. I can't believe that I am doing this already. Time sure does fly by! We go to meet her teacher and tour her school on the 13th. Next on the list of things to do : Buy School supplies...it was always my favorite time!
In the next few weeks we are hoping to get our concrete poured and our shed put up. We are just waiting on the concrete guys. I hope we can get a good start on it while I'm off on break. Scott is planning to take a few days off to help them and we are hoping to squeeze in a day of swimming at the olney pool as a family(....maybe Holiday World).
The kids are doing pretty good. We had Kayla at the Dr. on Wednesday this week. She was doubled over with stomach pain at Linda's (NOT common for Kayla). Linda was really worried and called Scott. He picked her up and called me. 2 hours after the pain started she was still crying. So we decide to visit the Dr. The Dr. checked her out and said "I think you need to poop, Kayla" Kayla likes to wait several days to poop but has never had this kind of trouble! We came home and she did her job and all was good! LOL
I will try to get some goods pictures of the kids(and hopefully, our shed) while I am on break and post them. Until next time........................

Less Clutter

I don't have a whole lot to post on today but I felt like posting something so here goes a whole lot of nothing. Last week was a very stressful week. We had a few issues going on at home/farm and I had a few tests to study for. It was a very long week. I was so happy for the weekend. Friday I worked until 2. I had 3 colors at work....one of which was a girl who wanted BRIGHT red hair with purple chuncks! NOT my cup of tea but whatever. I made money and thats all that matters. LOL My hands were stained the color magenta all weekend! Friday afternoon my soon to be sister in law and I had a garage sale in Heartville. She started it on Thursday and ended it on Saturday. I got rid of most of my baby/toddler clothes. And I made over $200! (Then today I went grocery shopping and that $200 went out the window!) Saturday night Scott and I took the kids to eat mexican then we went driving around and put the kids to sleep ;) Sunday Scott took the kids to the farm with him so that I could catch up on some homework. I have a couple test this week plus a presentation due on Wednesday (which has been done for a while now). We also took the kids down to the sandbars on Sunday evening. There was a group of our neighbors there so the kids got to play with the neighbor kids. All in all it was a good weekend. Now it's back to work and studying. I'm ready for a break! Some of you know that my kids are somewhat scared of dogs. The following picture is my two playing with Gus, Carries (sister-in-law) dog. They were playing with Carries Barbies. When they finally warmed up to him, He got smart and wanted nothing to do with Kyle! LOL Poor Gus.

Well, there's my whole lot of nothing. My husband and kids are home now and super is waiting. Cube steak, Mashed Potatoes and corn. Can't wait.......Studying makes me hungry! ;)
Until next time........

Our time with Kaiden Lee!

I know this post is a little late, but it's been a very busy week for us. Lots of homework and garage sale stuff and such. These pictures are from last weekend. We had Kaiden, Dave and Amy's little boy, stay with us on saturday night. We all had a blast. The kids had a ball playing outside and at the farm. We really enjoyed our SHORT time with Kaiden. He fit in very well. His listening skills are about even wit my kids........NONE! LOL

Kaiden we had so much fun with you last weekend. Please come back and stay again!

4th of July weekend

Sorry, but this post may be short. I don't have too much time!

We had a great weekend. I got out of class early on Thursday and got caught up on some homework that is due at the end of the month. Saturday we had plans to go to the lake with Dan and Ronda but that got postponed to Sunday. So instead we all took a four hour nap!!!! (Scott only slept for about 1.5 hours) It was GREAT

Sunday we went to Lake Shelbyville. We had a great time. The kids suprised me a little. Caught Dieterich's fireworks (AWESOME) I got out of class early again today (not complaining) So I have lot's of work to do.

We are having a garage sale at Ken's place on the 18th so I need to get busy! Hope you all had a good 4th.

Skipper's!!
