Yesterday was Tyler’s 6th birthday!! I can’t believe it has been 6 years since Mark and I became parents. It seems like just yesterday we were new parents trying to figure out how to take care of this little life and here he is now, 6 years later just as amazing as ever. He is no longer my little baby, or even a toddler, he is my little man. He is doing a great job in kindergarten and is one of the role model students. We are SO proud of him!!!
I wanted to post yesterday, but it was way to crazy and I never had time. We left the house at 8:00am and I didn’t get home until 4:00pm!! I took both kids to school, dropped off the mini cupcakes, that were decorated to look like pumpkins, off in Ty’s classroom, then I headed off to a P.A.C. meeting about school budget cuts. This meeting ended up lasting 3 hours! The sucky part is that our district needs to cut $3.5 million for the next school year. I have no idea how we are going to do this and still be able to give the kids a good education!!! Anyway, I am not going to get into this because I could go on and on. Anyway, after that I met Mark for a quick lunch and then it was off to look at granite for the kitchen counter tops. We picked up some samples and then I was off to more errands. I had to stop by the bank, get one last gift for Ty and then off to pick up Chayse from school. Then, we headed down to pick up Ty from school and Mark showed up as well. Nice birthday surprise! 
Once home, Ty had to first do his homework like always, but then he was able to open his gifts. Two of his favorites were the Hulk Hands and his razor scooter. We let him play for a little bit, then it was off to dinner at Chili’s were at the end of the meal they brought over a chocolate float and sang happy bithday to him. He had a great day!! Now I am off to make chocolate lollipops for Ty’s classroom Halloween party tomorrow.
Again, happy birthday to my amazing little man and I thank God every single day that I was blessed with him!!!!

Well, I finished the race!! I wasn’t the first by along while; the 1st place person ran the race in just over 15 minutes!! But, I wasn’t the last person either. I ended up running the 5K in 36 minutes and 36 seconds. I don’t think that is to bad for my first time and considering that I only had about 4 weeks to get ready. I am very happy I did it. It made me feel good that I got off my butt and even tried to do it. I have already decided that I will run again next year and see how much I improve. I am going to keep training and try to get up to running non-stop for 30 minutes!!! Yeah, we’ll see if that actually ever happens, but I’m still going to try.
After the race Southern Highlands had a festival with free pumpkins, bounce houses for the kids and lots and lots of booths with trick or treating. It ended up being very fun. Then, we headed home for some rest before heading over to Nicholas birthday party. We were also supposed to go to our friends Halloween party, but around 8:00pm I was done. All I wanted to do was sleep!!!
Sunday we looked at granite for the kitchen and checked out some new sinks and faucets. I’m not sure when all of this will get purchased, but we are at least in the deciding/picking out stage. Then, when we got home there was a message from another set of friends asking us to come over for pizza and carving pumpkins. So, we headed over to their house. We had so much fun!!! The kids played, the adults chatted, we eat pizza, cupcakes, carved pumpkins, and played the Wii. All in all it was a great weekend!!!

Hey all! I know, I know it has been WAY TO LONG since I have posted. I’m surprised I even remembered how to log on!!! Any who, we are still here, still alive, and just chugging along. I thought I would have ALL this time to get things done once the kids were in school, but it seems like I have LESS time and have a hard time getting ANYTHING done.
Chayse is doing great in preschool, but she still cries everyday when I drop her off. That part is killing me! But, she stops crying within minutes….and I know because I am up front watching her on the monitors! Plus, when I pick her up she tells me all the fun stuff she did that day and goes around hugging her friends good-bye…..especially her future husband Mr. Man!
Tyler is LOVING school! He has an amazing teacher and is one of the best students in her class. Gush, gush, very proud parent! I am helping out in his classroom every Thursday and am trying to do as much with the PTA as I can. Everyone that I have met is SO nice. I just LOVE his school. I have also met some great moms of kids in his class. We end up talking outside the classroom after school everyday (sometimes way to long).
I myself am trying to take time for me again, now that I have 3 days without kids. I have started walking/jogging on the treadmill 3 times a week and I am actually going to participate in the Southern Highlands 5K tomorrow!!! I will have to post if I actually make it or not! Wish me luck!!!
Anyway, that is the very very very short version of what has been going on here. Ty’s birthday is on Tuesday (hard to believe he is going to be 6!) and I am in the process of trying to get ready for that. He also has track break coming up (he has all of November off) and we are going to meet my Dad and Naomi at Disneyland! The kids have no idea we are going and I can’t wait to see their faces when we get there!!! I need to get my butt in gear and start blogging regularly so y’all know what the heck is happening around here. I’ll add that to my list of a million things to do!! Until next post, later!
