Holy cow! It is time for me to do some updates on my blog! It has been a couple months since I have had the time to sit and type. Wow! What a busy & fast summer we had this year. We had a wonderful Coleman reunion and beautiful Bair-Smith wedding the end of July. We had friends come and visit from Texas, swimming lessons, many kiddos sleep-overs and of course lots more busy fun days!
Aug 16th the 3 older kids started school. They really are enjoying school so far. Kevin is in 1st grade and really is enjoying knowing many friends in his class. Megan,4th Grade is so excited to have her 1st b-day party with friends next month. We are planning a fun arts and crafts party. Emmy is in middle school this year. She was really nervous to change classes; however, she is loving having many teachers. She has 9 classes one of them being orchestra.... she is LOVING it! She is trying violin.....

Bye Bye Cast...

2009-11-05T11:20:00.000-08:00

Kevin finally had his cast removed yesterday morning! He is so happy to have his arm back. He is slowly getting his strength back. He is still using his left hand to write and hopefully in a couple of days he will start using his right arm (broken as he states) more. The doctor said it healed very nicely. We are so glad we decided to have it re-broken and set correctly.

Trick or treat..

Little man....

2009-09-16T19:43:00.000-07:00

Kevin had quite a long day today! He went this morning to the dentist to have 2 cavities filled. We were told he was such a good boy & he did a great job! We treated him to his favorite luch at McDonald's and sent him on the bus at noon. We received a call from the school at 1:30...he had fallen of the monkey bars and hurt his arm. He decided to stay at school with ice on it and see how things went. Thirty minutes later the school nurse called back and suggested that we pick Kevin up. When we got to his school we asked him what happened. He said, " I fell off the money bars and I bended my arm". Too cute! Brian took him to the doctor's office to get x-rayed. The x-rays confirmed that he had broken both bones in his right forearm. Leave it to our little man to be the first child in our family to break a bone. Tomorrow we will be going to get a cast put on. We'll post pictures soon.

Family updates

2009-03-14T07:44:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I have written or had pictures to share.I thought I would share a little news... The kids are doing great.
Emmy is excited to turn 10 the beginning of April. I promised her last year she could have a birthday party with friends on her 10th birthday. She is going to have a pizza and movie party. She has about 15 kids she wants to invite. She is also very excited about her acceptance to a new school next year. All three kids were accepted to Chappelow, a K-8 arts magnet school. She is very excited about the music programs available there. She will not miss the bulling she currently experiences at her current school. Emmy is such a great helper lately. She has been trying to help with transfering laundry so I don't have to bend down. She is so sweet!
Megan is doing GREAT in school this year. She has a wonderful teacher and is doing awesome with her math. I have been impressed that she has been doing well with her reading as well. I was glad to meet with her teacher and hear all her wonderful accomplishments. She enjoyed being student of the week this past week in school. She shared pictures of her family, her doll baby, her many art projects, and most important her favorite stuffed "Bunny". Megan enjoys having her Mom as her teacher in CTR9 class at church.
Kevin is a sweet boy with lots of energy! He is enjoying preschool and learning to write his name. He enjoys one on one time with Mom and Dad after school since preschool is over at 11:30. He loves to play with all the neighbor kids outside when Emmy and Megan and the rest of the neighbors come home from school. He will have his 5th birthday in May and will enjoy sharing cupcakes at school with his friends.
Brian is excited with his newest home project ..... the basement. He enjoyed drawing up the plans and had them approved. He got his building permit on Tuesday and has been busy buying supplies to start his project. He is hoping to start on Emmy & Megan's room first and then a bathroom. He will hopefully have lots of help from family and friends.
We are excited that the baby will be here sometime in late April instead of the May 1st due date. I went to the Doctor this week and was told we will be induced due to the diabetes. We don't have a specific date yet because we need to do a test on April 17th and get results back before we schedule the induction.... so hopefully the week of the 20th.... Yea!
