hi!

Wow, I'm really bad at this!!  Well lets see what we can update on here.  Need to change the layout for sure, since our soldier is back.....we are expecting baby #5 in june.  Brianna and Tommy are both doing really well in school. Paisley loves preschool.  Bella, well, Bella hangs out where she can.  She loves being able to play with Paisley and loves going to Grama and Grampas!  She is very technologically savvy.  Give her a smartphone, an Ipod, or an Ipad and she can crack into it and find any game, movie or take tons of pics! It will be interesting to see what she grows up to be.  We have added rabbits, horses, and a dog to our family and recently added a few more baby bunnies!  We lost a couple of rabbits to the neighbors dog and a few of the babies to the cold, but we still have 3 plus momma so we are still doing pretty good.  Tommy thinks he wants one of the babies......not sure about that!
Ryan and I are both going to school.  He online and I am finishing up my last semester at ISU....YAY!!!  I will have an AAS in Web Design.  Ryan is going for a Bachelors of Homeland Security. 
We're loving life and just trying to keep up with everything!!!

Yay for school!

School is in full swing now, we're almost done with our first week!  I havent gotten a decent nights sleep since we started either!!  The kids were way excited to start though, and so was I.  Brianna is in the upper pod now and tommy's in 1st grade!  Paisley is excited to go to Mrs Marilyn's preschool in a couple weeks!!  We just got Tommy signed up for soccer and will sign the girls up for cheer leading next week.  We gonna be busy, but it will be good to make the next 3 weeks go by fast till dad gets home!!!!!

Routine

Well, Ryan has come and gone. We had a wonderful week in San Diego. We walked on the beach which was just a block from our little bed and breakfast. We went deep sea fishing and saw sea lions and dolphins. We went to Sea World and saw more sea lions and dolphins...and whales!=) We were going to go horse back riding but got rained out. We stopped in Vegas and stayed the night there. Went to Fremont street and watched the spray painter guy, totally awesome!! You tube him some time, it's really cool! We had some good quality family time, went skating and other miscellaneous things. Got to visit friends in blackfoot. It was a good 15 days. Now we are getting back into our old routine. Two more months of school. If I can get through that I'll be doing just fine!! I'm ready for a break!

Quick Update

I really need to get better at posting on this, even though no one looks at it. It's an online diary almost! Online scrapbook for sure.
Anyhoo, our Daddy is deployed right not to Iraq but gets to come home soon for a visit. We're excited for that.
Brianna is doing well in school and is playing basket ball and really enjoying that. She's also taking piano and gym.
Tommy is smart as a whip and enjoys school and gymnastics.
Paisley is in preschool and turns 4 on saturday. She loves her teacher who she calls Miss Melon!(Marilyn)
Bella turned 2 a couple days ago and needs to go to gym, she's quite the tumbler. She loves music and sings all the time!
Mom is going to school and juggling life without dad. We are all doing pretty good. Cant wait for Dad to get home!
