Ideas...

So its tough to keep everything updated.  I have decided to make an update once a month from now on. So This update is for September 2009.

In September we had some fun going to the Zoo.  We went before Zuri the baby elephant was on for public view.  Thats ok though we were treated with lots of other baby animals. We decided to go on a holiday of course big mistake because everyone else decided that was a good day to go for them too.  We had to park in the park north of the Zoo.  It was so busy.  When we got in we rented their double stroller which was so nice i love how the kids can just jump in and out.  After seeing some animals the kids had a ride on the Merry  go round.  Josh was not a fan he is very timid about rides. Austin however love it!  We then ate lunch Austins favorite hot dogs.  That was pretty much are day because the train ride was closed. 

 

 

 

 

October is going to be filled with stuff so be sure to come back at the end of Oct to see all the fun!!!

life keeps going...

Not a whole lot going on in my world Austin started kindergarten and he keeps running away from the teachers. He tells them he is looking for me. So now he has an aid that stays with him at all times so they don't lose him. Its been very stressful for me cause I worry about losing him. I am very proud of the steps he is taking even if they are small he is doing awesome he is the best!

Joshua is doing better walking he still turns his foot outward so I will give it a bit longer before i call the dr to see if it will turn back on its own. We are doing really good on potty training he is going on the big potty. He is testing me very much and trying to see how much he can get away with. So lots of time outs and talks right now.




I see my cousins wife Misty doing this for her kids and I loved the idea thank you!

Trainees can be very annoying......

Today, We went to the Doctor and removed Josh's green cast YAY!!!! I was so excited about this! While it was being removed a ton of SAND fell out of the cast... All I could think was oh no that cannot be good. Well as the NEW DR. was SLOWLY taking off his cast Josh was very good at first only fussed a bit no crying but was really nervous about the loud vibrating thing cutting into his cast. Well it took the Dr. 10-15mins to remove this small thing. That was because he was in training I found out later. Well lets just say Josh was not happy about that at all by the time the Dr was done and his normal Dr came in Josh was SCREAMING at the top of his lungs. This stupid guy would turn on the saw and then cut a little and turn it off every 10 secs cause he was worried about josh crying. GRRRRR.... GET THE DUMB THING OFF FAST AND HE WILL BE HAPPY!! Anyways that my rant. Well the sand was still falling out and then i see redness on Josh's ankle and the fabric stuff was sticking to his leg. When it was taken off he had a sore on his poor leg but the Doctor said it should heal fast!! Yay for that. So bye bye green cast i did not get pics of the cutting because of the time it took the Dr to saw the thing off so thats a bummer.

Austins Birtday Fun!

Sorry this is so late....

Well, Austin had his 5th Birthday on July 25. We had everything ready to go. Well we get over to fire house park and we were there for about an hour and all the sudden I hear Josh screaming! I look over and he is on the ground when 2 secs before he was on top of the playground. Colton a very good friend of mine was helping josh and went ot grab him and missed and josh fell to the ground. So Josh was OUT OF IT. He was not acting himself and his leg was shaking so I decided to take him to the ER. He would not walk so they did an x-ray of his hip and leg and he fractured his tibia fibia bone. So they put a splint on him and send us on our way. We go back down to the party and its DARK now but we cut the cake and open presents and Austin had a ball so i am very happy about that! He got a batman lair and when he opened it he goes WOW thats TOTALLY AWSOME! way too cute!

I cannot belive Austin is now 5 years old! He stats Kindergarten on the 24th of August I cannot wait I am so excited for him to go! I was trying to get josh in a preschool but i have decided to wait one more year on him.

Thats all for now

DEANS LIST

Hooray!
I did it! I made the Deans list at Stevens Henager College. I have really enjoyed going to school. I have made a lot of new friends at school. It has been a very new experience. My GPA is now sitting at 3.87 WOOT! I have never earned such good grades in my life. I hopefully will be able to keep this going and be able to graduate Oct 2010.

Austin and Josh are full of it as usual. They keep me busy!!! While I am at school they get to go see either Grandma and Grandpa Barrett or Grandma and Grandpa Burke. They love seeing them and really enjoy the time. Wow this year I get to go School shopping for Austin. Scary thought. Joshua is really talking now and testing me. If he gets something and you want it back he will run from you giggling but he knows if he dose this its a time-out. He still dose it though.

THE 4TH of JULY

The 4th of July the kids and I went to Sugar House Park to see the Fireworks and it was a Blast!!
We had a lot of friends there which made it more fun! There was Jeff, Brittanie, Jocelyn, Lexie, Me, Austin, Joshua, Traci, Kyle, Carlos, Shelby, Jake, Jackie, Kyle, Sara. We had a pinic and had marshmellow fights, played frisebee, soccer, went for walks and enjoyed each others company. Afterward we went to eat at Dennys and then went home.

Its been a pretty good couple of months and I have enjoyed the time with my kids, family and friends.

Milford Car Show!

This last weekend I went to Milford all by my-self. It was a ton of fun and I enjoyed the "me" time. I helped as much as I could. In return they fed me and gave me a room to sleep in. I think that was a pretty good deal!! I have a ton of pictures but it would take forever to go threw them all. So I will only post my fav pictures. While I was down there I did miss my kids a whole lot but it was a very much needed break. I have now made some new friends that i consider to be very close to me!! I would go again in a heart beat!!! Ok enough babbling here are the pics.
