Izzy: Mommy is daddy at work? Me: Yes he is, he left after you went to school. Izzy: Daddy is at work to pay bills and so we can eat and you can stay home. Me: That is correct. Izzy: We need to make more money so daddy can quit his job... Just shows children listen what you talk about even if you think they arent :)

Family Update!!!!

Well its been a tough year, with Nate not really having a good paying job, until end of October when he got a job with Schwan's and then living seperately until end of December. But through it all the kids where great and they helped me get through this tough year. I dont know where I would be without my babies, they help me to stay strong when times are tough :)
Even though it was tough, it was also a fun year with camping, family time and being able to find a real christmas tree and cutting it down for our new home in Gaylord Michigan. Since the kids and I have moved up here they seem to be so much happier and enjoying living up here. Besides one night, both of them have been going to bed without fighting and such, which is nice because this NEVER happened while living with my brother and Brit.
Christmas was nice, its been two years since we woke up christmas morning in our own home. It was so nice seeing the kids so excited while opening their gifts and it was even more exciting seeing them able to leave their toys lying around all day christmas and playing with them wherever they wanted to.

Izabella's first day of Preschool

Well mommy and Bells did alot better than what I thought we would. Which is good and bad. Apart of me wanted her to cry for me and she didnt. He teacher said she had a good day and did very well. But mommy also did well to and I dont know if it was because I have been through this with nathan already or if its because I know this is what she really needs and with nathan it wasnt that I felt he needed to go it was because he had to go because I had to work and then when I quit my job he had to go because he needed it.
She was so excited to see all the papers that she had to give me and excited that she will be getting her pictures done at school.
Again where does the time go, why cant it just slow down while our babies are little???

Nathan's first day of First grade

Today was Nathan's first day of first grade. I cant believe I just wrote "first grade", it is just amazing how one minute you are holding them in your arms and the next minute they arent depending on you as much anymore.
He said that he enjoyed his first day. He mate some new friends and seen some old friends. I just cant believe he is in first grade it makes me want to cry sad tears but also cry happy tears. Sad tears because my baby boy is growning up so quickly and there is nothing I can do to stop it, but happy tears because he becoming such a big boy.

Izabella's fall back

Well back in april I posted how izzy was doing good with potting. Well she had a fall back so we are starting up again. So far the last few days she has been doing well, I just hope it keeps up because she starts school on the 6th of September and starts dance classes on the 8th of september, which with both of them she has to be pottied trained.

My babies recovery

Well it has been a tough week but my babies are pretty much back to their normal self again. We are all so tired and exhausted. Izzy and nathan wasnt sleeping very well, which means know of us got any sleep. But I least now my babies hopefully wont get anymore ear infections and such. I have to thank Brittany, Jeffrey, my mom, and Ursula for all their help, they were awsome and we sure do appreciate it alot.

My babies had their surgery

Today both of my babies were troopers. They both had tubes put in their ears, adnodes and tonsils taken out. They both reacted to the anesthesia differently. When given the liquid meds before hand it didnt make Izzy goofy but just mellowed her out, nathan on the other had it made him goofy. Afterwards they had a hard time waking nathan up but with Izzy she was scared coming off of it. I wish I can take away the pain and discomfort away from them but I cant. Izzy usually has no problems taken medicine but after the medicine at the hospital she is fighting us on taking her meds.
