semesters end

So this semester is finally over - I got an A in Accounting 2 and a B in payroll accounting. And that is all I took this semester - b/c E was enough of a distraction!
Everything is going really good. E is growing like crazy, and is needing more entertainment now. He has slept from about 9 pm to 5 or 6 am the last 4 nights! which is extrememly exciting for me! M is good; a little bossy from time to time, but less whiney than she used to be. Potty Training is good - except she doesn't like to go by herself (even though she can) and she fears automatic toilets and practically refuses to go in one - or cries the whole time she is.
J is still working. And that's the most can be said on that front - he doesn't necessarily like his job, nor does he dislike it. It's a job, and he likes working outside.
Sugar has basically doubled in size. She is a good puppy though. She listens well when you say no...a couple times...and she usually warns you when she needs to go to the bathroom; she will sit at the front door and whine and we have about 3 seconds to let her out or she will find somewhere else to do it; She sits before she goes outside, or gets our of her kennel. all in all we still like her!
and that's about all I have to update....possible pictures later.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Coming Full Circle - Idaho

Life has run us around a bit, and we have enjoyed the journey.  As Facebook rather took over our lives in regards to blogging, I did not maintain my blog.  I find, however, that I enjoy coming back and reading my blog more than I like perusing old facebook posts.  So I begin again with blogging; for myself more than anything. We have managed, since my last post in 2012, to return home to Idaho.   We spent 5 great years in Colorado!  The kids grew up with the neighbors; McKenzie had horse riding lessons from a young lady named Carrie, in Longmont; she started playing flute in 2nd grade, and in 4th she switched to playing trumpet; Ethan started playing soccer, and Minecraft (video gamer in the making).  We got McKenzie a cat named Diamonds. We got a puppy who we named Ryder.  We got new appliances in the kitchen that I love (double oven, fridge with freezer drawer, etc)!  I mention them, because I am sad to have left them in Colorado.  W...
