Give Thanks for everything..

I'm thankful we will be all together for Thanksgiving.

Change in Plans

OK! So much has happened. I was putting Orion in preschool/Daycare on Mon and Fridays while I worked it was costing alot so I decided that I would forget that completely and just drop him off there just in case I need it. My Mom is nice and said that she would watch him and I could just pay her. I work three days a week. I'm planning on putting Kylor in Piano lessons once a week and Orion into Karate on Tues& Thurs the days I have off. I figure the money I could be spending would be better used on those programs other than just a baby sitter. I can't believe school is so much. If education is so important, why should/does it cost so much?? It was free in Portugal, I guess we were spoiled in ways living outside the USA. I can't wait to move to Germany!!! I'm not used to the American way of life still and If we have any choice in the matter, we'll be living oversea's as long as possible once we are outta here. Our pretty white cat Felix has gone missing we let him out a few days and he was fine he came back to the house no problem, Sunday night we let him out around dusk and we have not seen him since. I've checked the animals shelter and nothing! He has a microchip so we are hoping somebody turns him in. I'm worried that someone stole him but ya never know. I'm much more settled now. Steve comes Wednesday for a visit then he'll be off to Korea. We are all very excited to see him.

6 Yr Molars

Kylor is getting his Molar's in. I totally fogot about those. It's neat to watch your kids grow. We had parent teacher Conf. last night and his teacher told me he's a great kid and does really good, he's really quiet though. She said that during the conference this was the most she had seen Kylor talk, those of you who know Ky, know that he's not quiet, but he's like that at school only. He's always been a bit shy, but once he's comfortable he really comes out of his shell.

Deer in the back!

Yesterday I was resting on the coutch down stairs and O was next to me watching TV, he gasped and I looked outside. He saw two deer eating the tree's, I took a closer look out the window and their were actually 5 back there grazing on the trees and grass. Orion thought it was so cool! He went outside and they praced away. Later Kylor came home from school and we told him about the Deer he ran outside and was so excite to see one. Orion took him back and they spotted two but they ran away. Last week I was coming home and I saw a buck crossing the road and went through the houses and down into the valley where the tree's are. It was shocking, I feel like I live out in the woods. Kinda neat!

Base Gym

I had a good night with my sister-in-laws at a play that Becky, one of our Sister in law's is in, it was really good. I took a trip to the HAFB Gym and it was nice, I wanted to check out the Family room, they have a good one here. Including weight room with an area for the kids to play in. I was really glad to have a work out. I cleaned up some more and I'm turning this house into my home for the year. It's not been an easy adjustment though. I feel like things are falling into place though.

Update.

Steve is doing well at school in MS, and is excited for Thanksgiving just as the rest of us. I've been catching on to my work schedule, I'm starting to get the hang of things there, and I'm learning alot about TVs. It's nice working with family too. I'm pretty much unpacked, and things are starting to fall into place. I'm trying hard not to overdo it, but I have so much going on, it's hard not too. Today I have off, so it's nice to be with Orion and Quinn, Orion has been so clingy and wants to be with me all the time. Quinn is now off the bottle and doesn't want to drink his milk. He's a juice monster which has to change cause that juice can bring on alot of teeth problems. I just have to brush them extra good. I'm a little homesick for the Azores, I miss seeing the Ocean and miss the warmth there. It was such a great experience there, something our family will always remember. Life in Utah is so different that there. I miss the island life.

Today

Kylor rode the bus to school Awesome! Orion went to school too. I had the day off and Quinn went with me. I got so much done. I signed the kids up for "Give parents a break" an time when I can take the boys and have some Me time thanks to the Base. I went and got Quinns 1 year shots. Ouch! He got 6 of them. Poor thing he handled it well. I apologize I have no pictures I don't have a way to put them on my computer yet...Give me a few more weeks and I'll be able to upload them.

2nd move in two weeks...

Ok, Yesterday we made the move to Steve's Mom house where we will call home for the next year or so. It was almost sad to leave my mom's house in Kaysville though I'm only about 3 miles away max. The kids were used to that house and here we are adjusting to new rules again. New sleeping arrangements etc. I've been unpacking many of our boxes. Our computer was broken in the mail, that's the only box we got insurance on so we'll see if the good'ol US postal service will give us some money for the broke computer. Actually many things are broken, but the most important things made it. I'm trying to stay positive about the whole situation. I'm so used to being on my own and not asking for must help, but this year I'm going to need all the help I can get. The boys are doing good though. Kylor can start taking the bus to school. Orion only in school two days a week. Monday and Friday. Quinn has a new little pack-n-play for his bed. When we get to Germany we'll have 4 twin beds so we can change him when we were there. He's all over the place, he likes to pester Ky and Orion, most the time they are good about taking it, but sometimes Orion get irritated. Quinn is a cuddly baby. He's so cute. The other day he said "Mommy" so cute. Steve and I are excited for Thanksgiving, he'll be home for 5 days, before he leaves for KOREA. It's just not the same being apart. We have been video Conferencing so it helps being able to see each other. GOTTA LOVE TECHNOLOGY (when it works that is)
