WOW!! Long time NO post!!!

< So I was talking to my Mother in law tonight and she was saying I miss seeing the boys and their updates. I have to say I'm so sorry with such a busy life and things going I in all totally forgot about this site and how sad it is that I haven't been on and updated since we moved here!! I'll give a little on what is going on and share some most recent pix of the boys! Caleb he's still having episode and is going to see a Dr this week down here in Mankato and then we will go to a GI Dr. on Feb 2nd. I also talked to a Homeopathy Dr this weekend and I'm will to look and try anything that can help him. He was dignsod this last month as well for ADHD and we are in the processes of getting and IEP in place for him to get him some additional help in school! So that is about it on that end. Caleb is enjoy time with his mentor Brett at the collage today they went swimming and had a swimming party and afterwords Caleb lost another tooth! I tell ya never a dull moment!! He's getting ready to have his 8th birthday in a few weeks! Can't get over he's going to be 8... just a few more years and we are looking at double digits! :( Ethan is a love as always. He's now going to morning preschool and also getting speech therapy for his bumpy talking *stuttering* just in the few weeks he's been going he's made huge results already.. yes he still bumpy talks but he's being a lot more aware of it. He still goes to his other preschool two times a week in the afternoon but this one he goes to in the morning is right at Caleb's school his teacher is MR. Nick and he's a great teacher. Ethan is only a few doors down from Caleb. He goes to school there from 8am to 10:50 a school bus will drive him home at 11:10 and then we will eat lunch and then head to his other school from 12:30 to 3 so lets just say Ethan is ONE busy boy!! One day we couldn't find him and I looked and looked to find him he went to bed already! LOL... But each school says the same thing about him he's the most sweetest and kindest boy they know! That is just how Ethan is. Reece wow.. Well he's still my monster baby! that's for sure who's going to be turning 3 very very soon :( He's been mostly potty trained but this strong willed boy has his days that he just goes on strike. Not too worried no he will be ready and done by the time he goes to preschool next year! :/ YES next year all three will be in school!! what will I do?? ohhh maybe read a book or two I've been trying to get done!!! Otherwise Reece is a very smart little man almost too smart! We do worksheets with Ethan and he tells Ethan how to do it! Kinda funny how them two thou work together and act more like twin brothers then just reg brothers. They really are almost lost with out each other! When Ethan is in school Reece keeps asking when we see Ethan next Ma? When Ethan is in school thou I do like having just me and Reecey time we have been to the Mankato Library a lot he loves that place and we do so many things together! it's so neat to see him just on my own! I've missed that one on one with each boy! but over all everything is going good. Caleb is busy, Ethan is busy and Reece always keeps ME busy! Den loves his new job loves seeing that he is making a change in the lab and watching it grow and grow more! I'm very proud of all the work he's done! Me I love our new home and our new town met some really amazing mom's down here and getting to feel more and more at home here! I'm really blessed. Things are not perfect but that's ok... I don't need it to be perfect to be content! Ok here is some pix!

Wow it's been awhile...



Well Summer is coming to an end here sadly but it is.. Caleb starts 2nd grade here next week.. this is our last full week of summer! :( We love love our new home and the boys seem to adjusted really well here. I guess summer has flown by so fast cause we were having so much fun... We've joined a new Mom's group down here and have started to meet some new friends so that has been great. Thing about playdates down here is we play in a creek and out door wilderness all around you!! It's quite the view!!

My sister came down and took Ethan's 4yr photos and she did a wonderful job I wanted some pix of all the kids together as well with Kinzie and Breea and I love love love them!! I think that will about all I can post for today.. wanted to make this short so I can then go have some fun with my boys and enjoy our last week of summer!!

For the most part we are all moved in and everything is just as I would love it to be. I still working on a guest bedroom but for the most part we have everything we need. Well here is some pix I took of our new home enjoy!

count down begins!!! 9 days left!!!!

Till we move into our new home!! and I can't tell you how excited we are! Lots have been going on with us so sorry for the lack of posting! But the boys are doing great! We have been having a ton of fun since school is out! Caleb got his report card and it was pretty darn good!! Very proud of my Caleb these days.. He's been going to therapy for the last few months for his headaches and stomach issues and with him being on his meds for his headaches as well I'm very happy with the results Caleb has shown!! He's really come a long way!!! So much his therapist said it was time for Caleb to start trying on his own and so we are no longer seeing her. IF something should come up and he feels he needs her we will go back but I really think he's on the right road!


Ethan has been having some stuttering issues lately he will go to a speech therapist thou I have been told by teachers this is very common in 3-5yrs olds and this will be something he will out grow but still I want him to be looked at just in case. So if you hear him please don't rush him he will get it out.. just bear with him! Other then that Ethan has been doing really well he's still my love button and a Mama's boy at best! I love it!


Reece is a MONSTER!! LOL.. but I love him! he's something else! He keeps me on my toes. We went to a park for father's day and there was this older boy I would say was about 3yrs old and he was sitting where Reece wanted to be.. Reece Yelled at him to get out!!! the boy stood up and said I'm bigger then you! Reece thou did not back down! the boy stood his ground! The older boy wasn't sure what to do? Eventually he moved out of Reece's way. A Dad standing there said boy that boy has braveness on him! I said well he is the youngest of the three.. He said well need you say nothing more! It was so funny... But Reece does hold his own very well! He is his Daddy's son!

Father's day was a very nice day we took my stepdad out to Famous Dave's for lunch then we took the boys fishing at this great park called Hyland Park and then the boys played their hearts out at the park they had a splash pad type area and the boys had the time of their lives there.. Lost of running and playing!! and boy did they sleep GOOD that night!!! In all it was a very fun weekend we had lots to do! We are trying to get as much friends and family time in before our nine days is up! I think my next post will be when we are moved into our new house! So till then I hope you all enjoy your summer I know we are!!!!
