Sit Down Sunday!

The girl in the green shirt is my sister Cheryl. The lady next to me is my grandma. Then of course Mike, the kids and I.

Things in our household have been crazy. Sorry for the lack of updates and deals. I have been working a lot of 14 hour days and it's only going to be getting worse. We have construction going on at work in the kitchen. Imagine working in a kitchen in a hospital and it being split in half. It's a bit crazy. Takes you twice as long to do something. In about 5 weeks our dishwasher will be taken out and new one put it. That means we'll be getting some GOOD overtime, just in time for Christmas :) 

The kids are doing very good. Ryan is enjoying Kindergarten. The first couple of weeks he had a problem with a couple of boys hitting him and swearing at him. But with some talks with the teacher and Ryan being moved in class we fixed it. He loves school. He's very good about doing his homework. He actually wont do anything else until his homework is done.

Rachel is going to be enrolled in pre-k within the next month. She's also wanting to do dance too. She loves anything to do with dance and music. 

Reid went last week for his 2 month check up. Little bugger is 12lbs and very healthy. We actually think he's teething already. He's constantly chewing on his hands and his cheeks are getting red as if he's going to start.

Mike aka husband is moving up in the world of Wal-Mart. He's been offered a position in another department. Which lands him full time hours and a $2-$3 raise! Things are finally looking up for us!

I've almost got a method of updating my blog while i'm at work. I'm just working it out :)

Sit Down Sunday!

Their personality!

Our trip to Michigan was fun but fast. The wedding was amazing! The kids did an awesome job. We figured they'd freeze up when they saw all of the people. They didn't! Instead both of them were throwing the rose petals in the hair. Everyone was laughing and it was just a very good experience. The bride was gorgeous! 


The reception was so much fun. Watching Rachel dance with one of the junior bridesmaids all night was very entertaining. We have TONS of pictures of her twirling her dress and just enjoying herself. We definitely have a little dancer on our hands!
Ryan on the other hand didn't want anything to do with dancing. As he put it "i'll watch baby brother". He takes after my husband and I, neither of us dance.

The kids with the newlyweds!

Sunday was Rachel's birthday party/meet Reid. We didn't have very many people come over because it was short notice but the ones that did enjoyed Reid. He definitely got passed around. My 92yr old grandma absolutely loves him. She asked us all the time to take pictures with him! 


Our ride home was rather interesting. The kids were very anxious to get home to their papa. They missed him as much as he missed them. Reid on the other hand HATED the car seat this time around. Once we got in Southern Illinois we ended up having to stop every 1-2 hours to get him out and either cool off or just look around. 


Once we got home we all went to bed and a couple of hours later started my work week. Work has been crazy lately, that's why my posts are slim. I apologize for that. I'm trying to get some posts done in advance for you guys. I appreciate you guys sticking around! I promise i'll be featuring some exciting things in the coming weeks! 


I hope everyone has a very enjoyable Labor Day weekend! Were taking the kids to Schlitterbahn Water park today. I won tickets a couple of weeks ago in a giveaway. We took the kids in July when my sister was here and we all had a blast!! My kids are definitely dare devils :) I on the other hand am extremely afraid of heights. But i'll try and put that aside as best as I can so the kids can have fun!

Sit Down Sunday!

Sorry I haven't been posting much this past week. I went back to work. I'm trying to get us all on a routine. We leave Weds for Michigan. The two older kids are in my friends wedding! Rachel's excited to wear her princess dress! 


I think i'll be doing a post "Sit Down Sunday" every Sunday. More of a personal thing. I have some excited news i'll be sharing with you guys in the upcoming weeks :) I also have some more giveaways coming! 


Just please be patient with me as my family and I get in a routine of things.
