Long time no post!!!
Gonna try to recap on on everything. I think I left off on our trip to the Grand Canyon!
The twins finished preschool and are no Kindergartners! Katlynn is going into general ed kinder this year. So proud of her. I've busted my ass to make sure she got to this point with all the services and therapies!
Halle will be a big fifth grader this year. I stress the word big. She is still a tiny little thing, but she is very much capable and a smart kiddo. Audrie is doing awesome. She is very athletic and so funny!
Both the twins did a dance recital this past month and they did great! Katlynn really enjoyed herself and did quite well.
Dave is still plugging away at work and is doing much better health-wise. No more seizure activity. Thank goodness!
I'm still in school. Unfortunately, since we don't have a sitter and can't really afford one with 3 kids, I am limited to only a couple classes a semester. I could already be transferred and almost done, but all I can do is keep plugging away. At this point I am very envious of all the people I know who have the grandparents watch the kids so they can pursue their education. Unfortunately, my parents live out of state and the in-laws already have other childcare commitments, so our hands are tied. I will get there eventually. Maybe not with a Ph.D, but I will get there and I will have a career I love and I am passionate about and I will have no regrets spending the years home with the kids I did because I think it's important in the younger years. Because of this, my kids are strong and independent and are driven (well... Halle needs a push, but you know what I mean).
Were still waiting on "the house" we are trying to buy. Seems as though it's taking it's sweet time. But.... It will happen when it happens. I am in no rush. We'll move when we move.

Spring Break in Az
Saturday, March 10, 2012
Busy as ever... can you tell?
Well.. I don't get on here much because well, there is just so much going on I can barely keep up.
Let's see... where to begin. (I will state that this might turn into a pitty party vent session, which is rare for me, but just bare with me)
Audrie and Katlynn are both dancing (Katlynn just started and Halle wants no part of it) and they are doing a big performance in June. Very excited to see them perform together and Especially to see how Katlynn does.
Signed myself up for a 5K coming up and the kids are doing a 1K after my run. Should be a fun day.
I am in Class T/W/Th and am busy getting ready for the twins transitioning into Kindergarten. Prepping them and IEP's for Katlynn, etc. It's an exhausting task fighting for the best education for my kids. Ideally, they would not even go here, but due to our schedules and lack of funds, we can't really afford for them to go anywhere else, even publicly because of travel and the fact we would need to sometimes have someone PU and drop them off if we moved to a better school... So I guess for now, they stay here.
I am also trying to figure out next year. We were looking at buying a house, but with how our schedules are I am not sure we can add that to the mix and to be honest, we can't really afford what we really want and need for a family of 5.
Dave and I rarely even get time alone to enjoy each-other lately and have not had a real date in 7 weeks. It's kind of a bummer we can't just drop them off and head to Vegas or out to dinner or whatever. But... I guess it's kind of the whole parent role, right. Also probably why things have been so stressful lately.I am glad my brother has really stepped up in recent months and really offered to help out with the kids when I have needed it. He enjoys the quality time with them and they get time with uncle and no other little kids around so they have his undivided attention, lol. But he is super busy and just got his nursing license and is job hunting, so I don't dare ask him. Grandma is busy with work and the other grand-kids so often, I hate to burden her with more grand-kids because I feel she never gets a break to just relax grand-kid-free.
Oh, I am planning the twins birthday (gonna be a super cute and fun kids bash), finishing up Summer plans (lots of fun freebies for the kids planned) and helping Halle with school projects. PS... She made a 3.7 on her report card and got Principles Honor Role. She was so excited. She picked out new headphones for her Ipod.
Anyhow... that's the story.
