HI how is everyone? I haven't been on in forever!!! Things have been hectic lately here. How was everyones holiday? Ours was ok......could have been better but it was still nice. The kids were really sick the first half of their school break....my heater went out obn x-mas morning.....the kids spent the second half of their vacation with my inlaws and my youngest son tripped and fell and touched his hand to my inlaws fireplace, he's suffered third degree burns, nerve damage, and possibly needs a skin graft. He's seeing a plastic surgeon for that, on top of it all the heater went out in my van and it's a fancier style apparently not one auto parts stores keep in stock nor order it has to come from the manufacturer which of course is wayyyy more expensive and of course on back order they do not even start the next manufacturing until the end of the month on that particular one. Oh yeah and my heater in my home being fixxed was supposed to be under warrenty we were told it would only be a $50-$65 service fee and we got a bill for $337 .......$93 of it a service charge!!!!! I'm completely stressed atm. But still realize how lucky we really are compared to some folks and am able to sit back and have a laugh!!!! Oh yes and my middle child is having surgery next friday.....I've spoke about her conditin before, she has stones in her submandibular gland (saliva gland) they have to remove the gland completely now......so please wish her luck and keep her in your thoughts, I'm sure all will be fine it's a simple out patient procedure at t he hospital but still scary. We go meet with the annesthesiologist (sp0 on monday!
Oh and last but not least I no longer have a baby in the home......I now officially have a toddler as Emilee turned 2 on the 27th of last month. It's weird none of my kids went through the terrible 2's at all and she hit 2 and went WILD!!!! She back talks, says no to EVERYTHING, everuything is hers she walks around MINE....MINE......MINE!!!! she is on the other hand taking an intrest in using the pottty though YEAH!!!! And she has become a climber....she climbs EVERYTHING!!!!! She has even mastered getting out of the crib!!!! ↓

HEY!!! Its great to hear from you? hows your hubby, you forgot about him LOL

Tyler is almost 20 months, hes a Climber as well, into every thing and likes to organize and strategically place items in a certain order, its very strange LOL He some times disobeys me even though i just said no Tyler dont touch that.. it drives me insane!! its just the start though!! shoot me now!

Chris is still in Afghanistan, he broke his wrist in a riot in the beginning of December, so hes on desk duty and in a full cast from his knuckles to his shoulder which he hates but he gets leave in feb for 2 weeks and we are going on a CRUISE!!! I cant wait! Hopefully the cast will be off by then!!

I just started EMT school, and so far so good, i really like it and I finish in May I hope I pass, but other than that nothing much really going on!

Thanks for keeping tabs and filling us all in!
