Christmas

Where has the time gone?!

It's been quite awhile since I've blogged, guess I've been busy with school! I can't say there's been a whole lot happen in our lives the last couple of months, but it's fun to update you anyway.
In regards to school, I feel like I've boarded a runaway train!!! Fortunately, I only have to ride for two more weeks and then I'll get a much needed break before I start semester two of year one. Apparently, semester two is either going to make you or break you...I'm hoping to be made! But enough about me...
Caleb is doing really well in school and I can't believe how much he is learning! He's become such a good helper and such a polite, nice boy. Ethan turned four a few weeks ago and is doing quite good in preschool. He is a real hoot and keeps me on my toes!!
We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving in Worland with family and had a really nice time! We're looking forward to Christmas break and being able to see family again. Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving weekend.

Caleb's birthday weekend

We spent friday night and saturday in Gillette at my sister's house for Caleb's 7th birthday. We had a great time, ate good food, and enjoyed eachother's company. I can't believe Caleb is 7!!! He is a first grader and is doing really well in school with reading and math. He loves to build things, especially Legos, and draw and write, and he has a million questions about everything. He played flag football for the first time this year and really loved it. He can't wait to wear a helmet and tackle though! He is such a big helper too! He is such a wonderful boy and I am so glad to have him in our family. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
I took treats to Caleb's class on friday.

Brady, Caleb, Ethan, & Kaitlin dipping pretzels. They had a lot of fun and they were yummy!

Caleb with the ice cream cake Gretchen and I made. It was soooo good!

Caleb and Brady. Brady turned 9 on the 13th, so it was fun for them to celebrate together.

Caleb & Ethan with Molly the puppy. Of course we couldn't get her to sit still!

Back to School

Well, I can't believe summer is over, but I'm glad to be done working at Walmart and the kids were excited to start school! So, we just finished our first week...and it was a long one! Ethan started preschool, Caleb started 1st grade, and I started the dental hygiene program. We are out of the house every day by 7:25 and don't get home until after 5, so our days are long! Caleb is also playing flag football for the Woodland Park (his school) Packers. He loves it and has such a great time! Here's a few pictures...

First day of school for the boys.

Here's just part of my stuff for school, still missing the majority of my books and my scrubs! Yikes!

Devil's Tower

The boys and I got together with my sister Gretchen and her kids and headed to Devil's Tower for the day. It was a great time with beautiful weather and scenery! We enjoyed the drive from Gillette, ate a picnic lunch, walked around the tower, and Caleb, Ethan, and Brady worked on there Junior Ranger Badges. We can't wait to get together with them again!

Summertime Fun

I just love this picture and had to post it!
