Soccer games, Room changes, School programs and more!

So let me start by saying this is going to be a long one...
I have been so behind in my blogging. Sorry!!

Kaiden had a soccer game on Saturday, I'm proud to say that he scored his first goal! No, I did no record it. My sisters say I'm fired, but what can I say. I'm lucky to get the family ready and on time to his game anyway.

Kaiden also was the "star student" last week in his class. It is just a little spot light that they do for all the kids in class and it was his turn. He was really excited to bring some of his baby pictures to school to have everyone see.



We had a school carnival to go to as well. We where all sick, but really needed to get out of the house. The kids had a good time. Ryland loved playing plinko. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact it involved little ping pong balls. The bigger kids like playing the beanbag toss games, and of course Avery had to play the cake walk. Unfortunately we didn't win a cake.





So, Avery and Ryland have had a cough for a long time that was being miss diagnosed. At first it was just a virus, then bronchitis, and now it is walking Pneumonia with ear infections. The funny thing is, with the bronchitis diagnosis, they where put on antibiotics, but it didn't help at all. So with the walking Pneumonia we have a whole new set of meds, and in 2 weeks we have to go back and have ears checked to make sure the infection is gone. The Dr. told me that she wasn't 100% sure if the meds would take care of the ears. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Jeremy got sick a few weeks ago too. (When I say sick, I mean coughing, sore throat, stuffiness, you know the works) I had it too for a little while and thought that I had gotten over it. We both ended up at the Dr's last week and now are on our own set of meds and an inhaler. Good times.

We have decided to put the boys together in the same room now. They are doing great with the little move. Ryland REALLY enjoys being with Kaiden. Kaiden seems to like it too, but has his mornings where he wakes up tired...:) We moved Kaiden's bed into Ryland's room and switched walls for both of their beds. Both of them fall out of bed almost every night now...oops, I didn't think about that.

I'm still on the hunt for a preschool for Avery. I'm really hoping she will some how get into the High school program. She is #5 on the waiting list! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Ryland and I are in a Mom and tot gymnastics class, its quite the work out for me. Its probably a good thing. He has a great time, and listens really well.

Jeremy has been busy with work, as usual. I finally see a light at the end of our tunnel as far as debt goes. I hate that we where stupid when we first got married and had a lot of CC debt. Live and learn!! I'm for sure going teach my kids to SAVE! I've figured out a way to cut our grocery bill down but almost half!! I'm excited about that. I go once a week now, and use coupons. I'm sure that is a pretty obvious thing for everyone else, but I thought only shopping 1 time every 2 weeks was smarter. Turns it I was wrong. I think Jeremy and I counted how many times I made a Walmart run in a month...I'm sad to say it was 15 times...yikes.

I got a few things for the baby... I've been shopping the clearance :)


The other night we looked outside and saw how green it was. This usually means tornado weather. I'm not sure if the picture does it justice. This is what our "backyard" looks like.



I'm excited for my mini trip back to Utah in a couple of weeks. It's just me going. Maybe that means a couple nights of uninterrupted sleep...right! Rebecca is graduating. It makes me feel old. I'm sure Ill have a lot of pictures to post after my trip.
