Taylor's Birthday

I still don't have a camera, I hate it. Here is what happened on Taylor's birthday. We asked Taylor what he wanted to do for his birthday, he said first he wants to go fishing, then the canaries game, and then he wanted to go go-carting. He got to do two out of the three. Josh took Taylor fishing and left as I walked in the door from work. When I woke up I took Kaitie and went birthday shopping, nothing like waiting until the last minute. We got home and the boys were home, Taylor caught a bull head and a 10 pound carp. Josh had to finish reeling it in, he got tired of the fight. Then for the third year in a row, we went to Inca's mexican resturant and ate. It's awesome, they sing to him in spanish. We know the staff there quite well and get the royal treatment when we do go in and eat there. It's fun. (That means we love mexican food, and we love to go to Inca's frequently) from there we went to Sioux Falls Canaries baseball game (they are our semi pro team). It was the last game of the season. Taylor caught the first foul ball of the game, then he caught a ball to get a free hot dog, glad he got it I was still stuffed from Incas!!!! I guess he is a growing boy. Then the bad news of the night, they were having "Technical difficulties" with the fire works display, so they had to cancel the show. They have a spectacular show. They have fire works after every night game it's awesome. The canaries ended up winning 9-6, with the help of a grand slam homerun. That was so fun to watch. After every game the kids can run the bases. Kaitie lapped a kid in front of her twice her size. It was fun to watch her run. I think we have an olymipic sptinter in the family. Then since it was the last game of the season, the players stayed out to sign stuff, so the foul ball came in handy. they had their markers ready, so it was so convienent. We still had to have cake, but we were so tired and we light the candles and sang one more happy birthday to Taylor, and he has a lot of girlfriends!!!then we covered the cake and are going to have it for breakfast. Good thing it's not fast Sunday!!!! All in all I think Taylor had a fun day. We asked Kait what she wants to do for her birthday. She wants to go to the Skyforce game (our semi pro basketball team) we will have to see. I can't believe I have an 11 year old. I am getting old now!!!

It's about time!!

Ok so I haven't been the best at keeping up with my blog. I admit it and I also didn't promise anything when I started this. My camera broke and so I have missed out on alot of pictures, so I will try and paint pictures for you!!

Last weekend we went out to a local lake and took the kids tubing. Kaitie I think has the new boat record of staying on the longest!!! Taylor, who even last year, was scared to death to go into the water up to his waist, did pretty good on the tube too. He can give Kaitie a run for her money.

Max and Oliver also took their first ride in the boat. Oliver sat on the back seat and watched the tubers. Max was busy tring to eat the water splashing up from the boat.

I actually got on the tube and didn't do as well as I did ten years ago. Josh dumped me right away, so then he thought he had to take it easy on me. I ended up with a muscle knot in my neck now for the past week and have even had to go see a massaage therapist. I guess I am not as young as I used to be.

I actually did my school shopping early this year and only have gym shoes left to purchase. School starts next Wednesday. Taylor and Kaitie have seemed to have switched places with their pickiness in choosing clothes. Taylor was easier than ever to buy for this year and Kaitie she didn't make out as well as Taylor, she just couldn't find any tops that she liked. We went to a lot of stores to pick out clothes.

I signed up for classes at the college and for finacial aid and hope to start school in September. I will find out shortly if I made it into the RN program. I have submitted all the paperwork now, and just have to wait. I will have finished all of my generals for the bachelors program in nursing and will just need to finish the nursing classes. I am so close now I can almost taste it. Hopefully at this time next year I will have my degree.

Well Kaitie has Mrs. Johnson for a teacher this year and is happy about that. Taylor has a male teacher this year and is excited for that!!

I think that brings everyone up to speed on my summer. It has gone by fast and am excited for school to start. i never thought I would say those words, but it is true, I love school.

I am going to get a new camera so I can add pictures next time. and hopefully I won't wait too long to post again.
