Wow so much has been going on. Don the kids and I have been busy busy.
I'm still going to college fulltime for Early Childhood Ed. I added Medical Transcription to my college degrees so I'm going to college double time! ugh I'm in for the torture I guess. I just hope I can keep the 2 degree courses seperate in my head! :) I'm still doing unofficial daycare. I have a 1yr old, 11mo old, 8mo old, and a 2yr old. So that keeps my house a mess and me on the go not to mention all the "stay at home mommy" duties. Sitting at home eating bon bons and watching tv sure isn't in my days :) hehe
Don is doing good. He just got put in charge of alot of soldiers (PLT SGT) so he's the first to work and the last one home. ugh No rest for those that work hard! I keep telling him if he does a crappy job they'll quit putting him in charge. Reality is I would be upset if he followed my advice but coming home at a normal time would also be nice! I'm proud of that man!!! He is still doing karate when work permits and loves it!
Dakotah is good. Loving that bull riding and being a country boy! He just finished drivers ed and is itching to get that permit! When he turns 16 he will be taking some college courses at Fay Tech so he's excited about that!
DaniKay is doing good. Getting a little sad that her boyfriend, Zach, is moving in a month. She is still loving those horses and doing horse shows.
We had a great time camping this weekend with our friends and a ton of kids! Don and I stayed in a cabin with 4 kids, Hilary/Tim stayed in a cabin with 4 kids, and Dakotah and his friend, Austin, stayed in a tent across from the cabins. We brought our dog and Hilary brought her Great Dane, Zoe. It was alot of fun!!! The boys went fishing at 2am :)
Tomorrow our friends from GA are coming to stay the night. We are excited to see those Nash kids and Kindel too! :) It has been too long. Watch for some photos on facebook.
Easter Dani is going to an Easter party/lunch at her best friends. So we will be eating some yummy Angi cooked food! :) Dakotah will be fat and happy!!! He loves his Angi cooked food.
Jinx is growing like crazy. He is such a good puppy!!!
Well, I believe that's all that has been going on. I'll try to update more than I have been. I just can't seem to get on here and get it done lately! Sorry
Later guys -me

Indiana Vacation
Well, the mountains cleared up and we made our trip to Indiana. It was fun visiting our friends and family. On the way up Don was telling me to turn right while pointing to the right and saying "turn left." lol We turned right and made it safely down the road. Dani stated "don't follow my left, it will get you in alot of trouble." Oh my daughter and her ADOS (Attention Deficit Oh Shiny) So we got to Don's mom on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday we went to visit both my grandmothers. Mamaw G had a family dinner and we got to see alot of our family. It was so nice to visit with them. We don't get to see them often enough so it was an evening of fun and awesome food! We spent Sunday night with Mama D and on Monday awoke to a yummy breakfast! Oh did I mention she made us lunch Sunday afternoon? Living the grandma dream! :) So Monday we ran errands and went back to Kokomo. Dani, of course, spent both Sunday and Monday night with Mamaw G. She always stays with Mamaw G a day or two when we go up. Mamaw G took her to the mall. When asked if she had fun with Mamaw G her reply was "we went to the mall and they ONLY had 7 stores. I can not live here!" She is too cute sometimes. Tuesday night Don's mom had Christmas dinner for us. It was a wonderful evening of good food and family. We always have a nice time when we have family dinners! :) Monday night we hung out with Jeremy and Tab and kids. It was alot of fun and laughter, as always! Myrtle Beach this summer with them will be a blast! :) Wednesday was a day of telling everyone goodbye. We did miss seeing a few of our friends but are hoping to catch them next time. Overall our visit was wonderful and we had a great time. Today we left Indiana and headed to Pigeon Forge. We had dinner with our great friend, Nathan aka Luc. It was nice to see him again. He and Susie will be coming to eat at the Apple Barn with us on Saturday before we head home. Can't wait! Well that is our vacation. I'll post pictures later and give a Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg update.
Love vacation time! :)
Love vacation time! :)

February 2010
I logged on to type an update then the kids woke up and the puppy woke up so now I'm referring a 1 year old, 2 year old, 3 year old, and a 4 month old puppy. :) Who says my life is boring???
We have had a busy month! Don came home FINALLY! He had to go right to work but only had half days. Now he is on leave! YEAH leave! So while Don has been gone our dryer has been taking forever to dry clothes. This last month has been really bad. It takes up to 4 times to dry a load of clothes. So finally we went out and bought a new dryer. Well this brought it down to 2 times to dry a load. So Picerne, military housing, finally came out and looked at our stuff only to find that it's their fault! If they did their annual maintenance on our house like they are supposed to then they would've cleaned our dryer vent (on the roof) and we never would've had an issue. Well Don let me keep my awesome new dryer and the vent got cleaned so now our clothes dry in one timing! Such a great feeling to open the dryer after 40 minutes and find dry clothes! :)
We had a great Valentine's Day weekend. I got Don a laptop stand for our room so he can sit on our bed and do his stuff. He got me a much needed microwave, my favorite flannel sheets, and a frog pillow. I have such a great hubby! :) Yesterday we took Dakotah, Dani, and Zach to Olive Garden then to play Lazer Tag and some arcading. It was fun.
Oh I forgot to say that the gas peddle fell off the Explorer. UGH ... our friend Tim helped get it back on and helped changed the throttle cable. Thank God for great friends! :)
We leave on Friday for Indiana. Not looking forward to the weather or the drive in the snowy weather to get up there and back home. Of course our family couldn't live in say Florida! :) lol It will be nice to be up there and see everyone for a week. I'm most looking forward to hanging out with Don and the kids. We always have fun on our trips!
Jinx is growing like crazy. Hard to believe he's 4 months old! He is getting so big. He is still a big baby and Don likes how he blends in with our couch. :) lol
Don - he's still on leave. He only has another week and a half left which is sad. He is enjoying his time away from the Army. He has been helping run my errands and be "taxi dad" which is extremely cool! I have missed having help with little things like picking up prescriptions or the kids from school.
Dakotah - he's doing good. We finally decided on a high school for him, yes it was a hard decision. He is still into horses but has also started skateboarding again. Hopefully next month it will be warmer and he can go bull riding again.
Dani - she is doing good too. She is really upset because her favorite horse, the one she always rides in the horse shows, is being auctioned in a couple months. Hopefully she can use him for one more show in March before he's gone. She has a boyfriend, Zach, who is so sweet. They are best friends and they are so cute together.
Me - I'm still doing what I always do. I am watching 4 kids. Mason is 1, Dakotah is 2, Alicia is 2, and Jedaris is 7 months. Cerenity is 3 and she likes to come over nad play with us too but I don't "watch" her. I am having trouble with one of my parents paying me, as usual. She wants me to watch her kid more than we agreed on but doesn't want to pay me what we agreed on. Not sure how she figures that she should pay me less while I watch her kid more. :( There are days when I wish I had a "real" job. Mason is moving in July or August and I'm considering going back to the schools as a substitute. I loved doing that in WA so we will see. I'm still going to college. I took on only 2 classes that began the week Don got home from Afghani and my other 2 start in March. So I will be really busy next month.
Well that's it and I need to get these kids changed and outside to get out some of their energy. Hope everyone has a great week! :)
