This is my first entry as an official blogger! I hope i can keep up on it so everyone can see how our beautiful little (or not so little) family is growing. We are completely in love with our new little girl, Brooklyn Rian. She is starting to smile and giggle. She lights up all of our lives. She is only in the 25% for her weight and height. But i love that she is staying small.
Bailey is in 2nd grade and loves her teacher Mrs. Meline. They have the same type of personality so they get along great! She is soooo smart. She almost always gets 100% in everything she does. We are soooo proud of her.
Kaden is doing well in Kindergarten. He is really excited to start reading like bailey! Baseball will be starting back up in a few months. I can't wait to see how much he has improved. He has grown up so much in last few years. I am excited to see what the future brings. His teacher says he has a little bit of a hard time focusing, but i am not suprised. He is his fathers son! :)
Wyatt is my little buddy. He helps me do all the shopping while the other kids are in school. And i love spending time with him. He cracks me up! We recently took him to the eye doctor because his left eye turns in. They gave him some glasses to wear for about a month, but if they don't help he will probably have surgery. This will be his 4th surgery in his short 4 years. 3 of them were for the tubes in his ears. i hate to see him have surgery again, but it would be better than him having him wear glasses for the rest of his life. Especially since he has great eyesight. He goes back to the doctor next week and we will know more then.
Brooky is almost 3 months old. Everyone loves her to pieces. The kids are constantly fighting over her will hold her. She sleeps really well, only getting up once in the middle of the night. Which makes me extremely happy.
Ryan always keeps busy. They are remodeling 8 bathrooms at Farmers Insurance and they are also doing a remodel for a hair salon. The safe company gets busier and busier. And it looks like they will be building a twin home in their subdivision that they have finally finished and ready to sell all the lots. Somehow in the midst of all this he manages to still make time for me and the kids. I love when he comes home and immediately grabs the baby to cuddle with her. Then he wrestles around with the kids until he is completely wore out. He is such a great dad. I admire his ability to juggle everything in his life, even though he probably feels like he doesn't do that great of job. I think he is amazing! I wish i had his energy :)
I am busy busy with my 4 kids. They are all balls of energy and i sometimes struggle to keep up. but i wouldn't change it for the world. I am going on my 6th year of being in Young Womens and i love every minute of it. I've loved watching these girls grow and experience life. I hope i stay in for a long time. Its nice to have a break every tuesday for a couple of hours and do something fun with people who are over 4 foot. :)
Well this is an update on us. Hopefully i can keep this updated
