A little update on us!

BJ and I just celebrated our 17th Wedding Anniversary!

Some days it seems like we have been married forever and some days it feels like yesterday that I walked down the isle to my awaiting soon to be hubby. Truthfully I can't believe we've made it thus far--our journey through marriage has seen manypeaks and valleys.

I finally let my oldest DS Kristofer get his license on May 29th after having him wait since Dec. I didn't think he needed his license in the winter weather of Illinois and truth be known I wasn't ready for my child to be driving just yet. I'm not really ready for him to make some of the choices he's making right now but those choices are his to make. He's wanting to go into the military after high school and he's also wanting to go to Boot Camp NEXT summer. This is even scary for me to have him join the military then get his driver's license. I will support him in whatever he decides to do with his life. This year he will be starting his Junior year in High School.




Joshua graduated from 8th grade on May 20th. This school year he will be a Freshman in High School. I hope that he does A LOT of growing up over the summer. Mr Miller will more than likely have my number on speed dial with this one.

Hunter will be entering 4th grade next year and he's fully enjoying his summer already with playing with his friends and staying outside as much as possible. He loves being outside and is very responsible with checking in when you tell him to. Now why can't the older boys grasp this concept yet???

Hannah will be 3 in a month. Where's has the last 3 years gone? She has had a major attitude lately. She's still my sweet girl and listens most of the time. She will be starting pre-school/daycare in a month or so. She will attend pre-school in the morning and daycare in the afternoon 5 days a week. She can't wait and this is all she has talked. We will be going to her school in the next week or so to get her enrollment papers and for her to meet her teacher. She has been on the waiting list since Jan and can't go to this school until she's 3. Hannah loves playing outside with her yard toys and we often have a battle to come back inside. Yesterday we went shopping for tomato plants and flowers and then we can home and planted them. Our flowers look nice in our big pot. Hannah had a blast planting and getting dirty :)
