Birthday party over!

Nothing is more exhausting than a child's birthday party!
Lucky for me I have about 6 months until I have to do it again.
We had some really great homeschooling friends come out to help us celebrate..I am so glad I have met such wonderful people!
One of my worst fears was that I would not have anything in common with other homeschoolers. I worried that I would feel so out of place. This has not been the case at all...and for that I am grateful.
For my friends that came out today and read my blog...Thanks for being wonderful!

Happy Birthday to Ky!

It is hard to believe my little baby is turning 6 today!
I look at him and don't know where the time has gone. He of course is as excited as can be. I must try my best not to cry this year....poor guy last year I cried and now he asks me if I will cry again.
Here is a picture of Ky at about 6 months old:

Sad

We missed Enrichment today....I won't lie I am bummed.
I hate missing it. The kids hate missing it.
I have to take Ky back to the Dr to see about this rash on his arm he has...I just hope by Sat everyone is fine and we can enjoy Ky's birthday party!

Reading

Ky is learning to read and he is getting soooo good! He can sound out quite a few words and REALLY WANTS to read which makes his book worm mama very happy! I imagine he will have it down within a couple months!!!
Jade is working on her colors...she was pretty far behind when we got her so we have been doing alot of catch up. She knows quite a few words by sight now so I imagine she will be reading soon as well. Still working on getting her shoes on the right feet.
Both kids are on the mend...Jade more so than Ky who is still running a random fever...not sure we will be making Enrichment tomorrow.
Thought I would leave yall with a picture of my "clothesline" Eric made for me....hey it works:

Say what???!!!

Took both kids to the Dr yesterday and as expected Ky has an ear infection, but what wasn't expected is Jade has pneumonia!
I am still in a bit of shock myself as she just started coughing Tuesday night!
So we won't be doing much of anything for awhile :(

:(

My Bug is getting sick. He woke up this morning with a runny yucky snotty nose..cough..and says his ear hurts. I was wanting to do something today or tomorrow with them too....looks like a FUN trip to the Dr may be in order if he gets worse.
I hate when they are sick not only because they are so small and all the other mommy reasons but because I always end up the sickest of all!
I guess IKEA....er....I mean The Science Museum will have to wait.

Spring Break for daddy

This week Eric has spring break.
We have talked about doing SOMETHING.....ANYTHING away from the house. Great Wolf Lodge was mentioned but as it's spring break they are booked solid.
Maybe a day trip to Dallas...or maybe we can stay at a hotel down there with an indoor pool? True it's not anything close to GWL but still they would have fun....hmmmm

A link

Not sure if this will work or not.
I found a blog that has a recipe for beginners in the bread making world....I have decided the kids and I will be giving it a try this week!
Here is the link:
Now I have added the link all 3 times where it has said anything about link so if it doesn't work I guess there is some trick I have yet to learn.

Back to Baseball

Tonight is Kyler's first practice for the new baseball season.
He will be an Astro again this year (no Cubs..guess living in TX I should expect that) and will be doing coach pitch. I am so ready to see if he remembers what to do and to see if he ACTUALLY hits the ball this year!
He looks so cute reguardless...lots of picture taking for mommy
Here is a pic of him last year:

Shhhh jinx

I shouldn't be posting this because I will probably jinx it but...Ky has been pullup free at night for a week or so!
My son has been potty trained since he was 2 but nights have been a toughy. He is getting older and I was growing more and more worried something was wrong. He stopped wetting his pullups weeks ago but mama wanted to be cautious....turns out the kid has it down.
He got it done before his 6th birthday too...which is sneaking up on us way too quickly :(

Family

I have always been all about my family...always been close to mom. It just really sucks having mom so far away from us, granted she is alot closer to us then when we lived in Va but still almost 5 hours is too far to see every day :(
Lucky for me mom makes it up for Eric's drill weekends once a month so we all look forward to that. This weekend is that weekend and I can't wait! I am the biggest mama's girl you will probably find.
My little sister moved back this past weekend and we got to spend a couple hours today with her and her little girl and also my other sister's little boy...I <3 my family so much. And above all I am so glad my kids will grow up close to their grandma and cousins. Photobucket

Homeschool Park Day

I cant say enough how happy it makes me that we have such a great homeschooling community here! I joined a group on yahoo some time ago and have met some really GREAT homeschool moms...friends with the same ideas and goals as myself in reguards to our children's education. One thing this group does is a park day every friday its a great way for us mother's to visit and relax as the kiddies play. I think I look forward to park day more than Kyler and Jade!
