End of vacation....

Well, we made it home safely. We drove my Grandma to my Dad's in GA. We ate at Pizza Hut and the kids enjoyed playing with Grandpa's new little puppy. They tagged along to Tractor Supply and helped Grandpa pick out puppy food. It was great to see him for a little while before hitting the road home. I was sick with a head cold so we didn't stop in Augusta, which was the plan, but came straight home. I was glad that we did because Saturday my cold hit me hard. Not to mention I thought I was taking DayQuil and it turned out to be NyQuil. So guess who slept all day Saturday! This afternoon we finished unpacking and then went to CiCi's for dinner. Tomorrow starts our "real world" lives again. Back to the Y for swimming 3 times a week so that I can hopefully lose one more pants size before Don gets home. The kids are back to school, homeschool but back. They are going to the barn only on Saturdays now because of school and church. I told them every once in a while we will do a weekday barn but not everyday like during the summer. Well, that's it for now.

Alabama vacation 2

We have had so much fun here and are not ready to leave! Sadie Kay is absolutely the most adorable little girl ever! My little sister is almost 5 months pregnant, which is super exciting! I am so excited for her and Paul to have the new little addition to their family. My grandma got to come for our last few days here which has been so nice. Oh and she made a strawberry pie ... oh so yummy!

Yes I decided to be colorful tonight, oh so fun! Well, we are down to just under 5 months til Don comes home. We are beyond ready for him to be here with us again!

I guess that's all for now. I'll write about our trip home in a few days.

Life at Bragg

Well so much has been going on lately.

Dakotah and Dani have started back homeschooling. Dakotah is now in the 9th grade and Dani is now in the 6th. They are both doing good in their courses. It is taking a little work for them to get into the groove. They are so used to spending all day at the barn so getting into a different routine is taking a little time.

I started my classes back. I am taking 4 college classes online. I am still watching Mason, who turns 1 year old next week. I am still watching one of the 2 year olds occasionally and the other one I no longer watch because her mom quit her job and is staying at home.

My friend, Kim, and I have put off going to our line dance lessons for a little while. I have got to get back into a routine of going to the YMCA and swimming at night. I was doing so good then when Don came home I slacked off. I was going in the morning but Mason has been extremely cranky all day when his naps get messed up so I decided to start going back at night and swimming. It will let me keep my sanity a little longer! :D

Alabama vacation

Well we are now in Alabama visiting Paul, Julie, and our beloved Sadie Kay. It has been a great 2 days. Sadie has been sick with a double ear infection and also pink eye in both eyes so it has been such a tragedy that she has had to stay home from school both days! haha Actually it has been great! The kids and I have had so much fun playing with her. I forgot my camera at home so I can't post pictures as of yet. I will have to steal the ones I take on Julie's camera before I head home and then I will be sure to add them.

We were planning on coming on Thursday but I decided that I needed a vacation away from my life before then. I changed our doctor appointment dates and we hit the road! We drove from 8pm til 230am and stayed overnight in Conyers, GA then we left at 630am and drove the last 3 hours and got here on Tuesday. An extra 3 days at Aunt Julie's sounded great to the kids too!

We are planning on staying until Friday the 28th then we will head back home. We are planning on trying to see my dad for a few on our way to Fort Gordon. We will be stopping by and visiting Kindel and the kids at Fort Gordon on our way home. We are going to stay the night with them then head home on Saturday. Dakotah will go see is best friend, Chris. I will hang out with Kindel and Dani will hang out with her good friends : Anisa, Taja, Karim, & Salim.

Well that is all for now. I will try to keep this updated as life goes along this next week.
