Big news: I am expecting. Super excited. Really has been a nerve-racking experience. I have been very quiet about it, till I knew that things were going to be okay. After last years loss, I figured, we would tell everyone after the first trimester. Nothing is harder than un-telling people that you are pregnant. So, sorry if it seems like I waited a long time to spill the beans. The baby is due in April. Another, April baby. I hope this means its a girl like Taytum. I spent the first 3 months sick. Just like when I was pregnant with Taytum. My boys never really gave me trouble with morning sickness.
What else is new. We went to Port Aransas at the end of Sept. The kids got out of school a few days to enjoy some vacation and see the family. We never get to see everybody all together. Tyler is always gone to his dads, when school is out. So, we had to make a visit happen. The kids, Brad, and I had a blast, despite all efforts from outside sources.
Kindergarten has been good for Tanner. Started out a little off but we are finally getting there. He would come home from school and have meltdowns. He also, would completely shut down at school for the teacher and not want to listen or work. BUt we are over that and moving forward. He is so eager to learn. Always wanting to name things that rhyme or opposites. And he handwriting has come a long way. I can actually read it.
Tyler is doing good. He like his class and his teacher. She is nice. He is showing a real effort this year to keep his grades up. He has join the orchestra. He plays the violin or as my family calls it "the fiddle". He also, is in the antibully club. Playing both soccer and football. Which is just about over, but of course he did great in both. Basketball season is right around the corner, so we are getting ready for that. Gonna have to stop throwing pass and start dribbling.
Taytum started 6th grade this year. I think she is struggling a bit. She will not talk about it but I think some of the girls are being mean to her. I just wish she would understand that she is beautiful just how she is. She does not have to be like them. Her grades are good. She score really high on math test last year and above average on reading. She is a smart girl. She got put on a new volleyball team this year. It was a challenge, for her, since she is so much more advance than these girls were. But she stuck with it. So I am proud of her. She did play soccer. AGAIN!! She just will not give it up. She is not bad, but I think she plays to be with some of her friends.
I have been busy with photos. I guess that is a good thing right. I had to do 5 soccer teams and 1 cheerleading squad. I sure hope this means that I will get more work in the future. I don't know what is harder. 5th grade girls or kindergarten boys. No one will smile for you. All seem so scared. Maybe its me. I must scare them. Gotta take my kids out soon before it gets cold and do their christmas pictures. I always get the holiday cards out quickly.
Brad has been working a lot. I mean a lot. He did get to come in and stay a weekend at the coast with us, but had to fly back. Left me to drive 17 hours in the car with the kids. Yikes!!!!
Last weekend had to take him to the ER. He was having pains like his gall badder was acting up. Turn out you can still have a stone even without a gall badder. After a night in the hospital and some expensive test, they told him he must of passed it. Oh well, I am glad he is okay. But not looking forward to that bill.
We have officially moved in to our town home. Only to find out our neighbors are real jerks. Complains about everything. THe littlest noise, the dog, the kids, my voice, everything. They went and told the people in the neighborhood that our children were bad and not to allow there kids to play with ours. Now, it work on two children but overall, most of the kids still play with ours. He did not take in to consideration that we lived just up the street for many years. Whenever their kids are outside and mine our. There is trouble. I just go about my life and not concern myself with them. They want to be petty, then let them. I don't really care.
