Back to Blogging!
Gosh, does my last post seriously talk about our first snow this last winter?! Uhhh...it's been a while since I've been on...sorry, guys! I just had my birthday though and my present from my amazing Andy, was a new camera!! Sooo I have pictures now! Sooo I'm hoping I'll be posting more now!! Yaaay! Thank you to Andy for a great gift that will get me back on my blog!
Oh wow, since it's been a year, it's been a little while since I updated you on everyone. I don't really know who reads this blog though, so it's just basically gonna be boring if you know us well and you go to my blog too. Sorry. :-(
Uhh...let's see. Let's begin with the littlest and work our way up. Minte Gabriel. He's a sweetheart! A naughty sweetheart, but a sweetheart! His hair's growing, his legs and arms are longer, and his vocabulary is getting massive. Vocabulary only meaning he knows more words. NOT meaning he knows how to use them! His newest adorable story is when he got mad at mom for telling him to go potty. He replied with "I suggest you be nice to me." She returned with "I suggest you obey me." Minte: "I suggest you get a haircut." Oookay then Min. Good comeback.
Minte is still quite the swimmer; he wiggles his way thru the water. He also enjoys Superman. Like a lot. He owns I think 3 Superman shirts and you can get him to do pretty much anything by telling him to do it like Superman or that Superman does it. He hasn't quite figured out villians yet..he tends to beat up his own family and call them villians, but we're working on it. ;-)
Ana Mae is obsessed with our chickens. They started laying the day after we returned from vacation and she thinks it's about the best thing ever. She knows each chicken by name, says she knows which is oldest and youngest, and will tell you each chicken's personality if you let her. The chickens adore her- she mashes together their food and water and feeds them with a spoon. They think that's the greatest and follow her everywhere hoping for more.
Ana's a singer. Just this morning I came downstairs to her singing Taylor Swift songs. She kinda slaughters them either by changing the tune or words, but she does her best. Actually it was kinda amusing this morning when she made a song by singing one line of like 10 of Taylor's songs! I was pretty impressed that she remembered that many and could switch so effortlessly!
Ethan is starting soccer up again this year. He played this last spring too! He is a little shy about getting right into the action and since he missed a year, he's still learning a little about timing and where he's supposed to stay, but he's doing a pretty good job! He enjoys his teammates and he loves the games and telling us all about them afterwards. Right now Lucas is training him to run a 5K. He hopes to do that this October with Uncle Tony, Aunt Jody, and Allison!
For Christmas I believe, Ethan received a camera from Dad and Mom. Since then it has broken and been replaced a couple times, but that camera has been well used! He loves to take pictures of everything!! On vacation he took a ton of pictures of random things like semis, or bridges, or cities, or flags..things I would consider to be kinda boring but to him, everything is worthy of a picture!
Ethan has also begun to slowly take my place as the baker of the family. He enjoys making muffins or biscuits for breakfast. He is always willing to help mom out and make pizza dough, macaroni and cheese, etc. for her!
Luke just started school today. He didn't say much about it, but looks like it went well! He is a junior this year..one year after this and he graduates! Yikes! He really enjoys Heritage and all of the friend's he has made there. He took one of those friends up north with him when we went to the cottage over Labor Day..they made movies, stayed up late,ate, slept and acted like boys. ;-)
As he has for a while, he still enjoys technology. Right now he has some kind of watch ipod thingy and an ipad but it won't be long at all until that shows up to be sold on Craigslist and he buys a new cool thing. He definitely has my Grandma's and Uncle's love for buying and reselling for a profit. He has gone thru so many different Apple things this summer. I can never keep track of what he owns, because no sooner does he have it, then he sells it!
I am doing well! Still dating Andy- it'll be 1 1/2 years on the 9th! He's super great! We've really enjoyed going to South Haven this summer. It has pretty much been our (mine. I think his too. ;-)) favorite place to go on a date. It's perfect for walks and talking- things we like to do on our dates. A few weeks ago his appendix decided to explode and he decided to live thru the pain for a few days until finally giving in and going to ER. They did surgery the next day and he spent a few more days in the hospital. The bad thing was that he also had to take off work for a month, but the good part with that was that he was able to go up north with us over Labor Day weekend which he would not have been able to do if his appendix hadn't ruptured! It was a lot of fun to have him there all weekend! He couldn't do hard tubing, but there were other things we could do! We went for a safe (no getting thrown off) tube ride, played a bit with the kids, swang a lot, swam a bit, and just enjoyed being able to be together so much!
I have a job at Appletree Christian Learning Center. It's a daycare and I love being with the kids all day! I've gotten to know the kids very well and it has been fun to get to know the other teachers as well! Today I begin classes at WMU. I am going to major in Child and Family Development. One of the teachers at Appletree also did this and she really liked the program, so we will see how much I end up liking it! I'm going to be taking 15 credits (so 5 classes) while I still work 2 days a week, so my schedule is going to be pretty busy. Hopefully it won't be too much.
Sorry it has taken me so long to post! I hope I'll do better now that I have my own laptop and camera but with how crazy busy I will be this semester, it might not happen. :-/
