Twinkle, Twinkle....

-
My little Wyatt, who is still only two has started singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...It is so cute... I sing to them at night to get them to go to sleep and the other night Wyatt started singing with me. He is also my little helper - following me around and helping with the silverware when I empty the dishwasher. He even unloads the dryer by himself. He is so independent - he won't let me help him with things until he is completely exasperated trying it by himself.

Jackson is doing well at school... Normally I can't get him to carry anything remotely heavy, but when he is taking treats to school for next week he carried the box all by himself. He has been reading with me though sometimes it is hard for me to get him to sit still... But we are working on it... now on with the penmanship! He needs to work on his name and his writing.

Anyway Pete and I are doing well and we have Lainey living with us. This is an adjustment for me - the whole teenager thing.

It's amazing how fast kids grow up and what they learn to do! Good luck with the teenager thing!

 So Pete showed me one of my old posts and reminded me that this blog is here. I have been feeling like I need to blog again, but I have been trying to decide what kind of blog I want to do. Do I want to continue to blog about my family, or to blog about thoughts that I have about different aspects of life? Do I want to continue on this page or start another?  We'll just have to figure it out and go from here. Well, first thing, this picture is a year old, but shows my three boys happy and healthy. It is not the most recent one that I have, but it is one I haven't shared. From left to right we have Henry, Wyatt, and Jackson. Jackson graduated from Caldwell High School in May of 2021. He was proud of that accomplishment and now we are trying to figure out his next move. He is considering his options.  Wyatt is a senior at Elevate Academy. He is working towards graduation, but is loving woodworking and loving his firefighting classes. He has been accepted to UI, ISU, BSU, CWI, an

Memories!?!?!?

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Update on life...

-
I guess it is September and you are all due an update, whoever you all are. Started my new job the last week of August so I have been going two weeks. Working four ten hour shifts starting at ten in the morning, Monday thru Thursday. It is amazing how tired you can get sitting in front of a radio waiting for something to happen. I have been getting better at hearing the things I need to and responding as necessary. I never knew dispatching was so complicated. It also gives me a different outlook on things. I see news stories about shootings of police officers and I think about how hard that was for the dispatcher to hear that and stay in control. However, I do think that this will be a good job for me and I hope the improvement continues. I think this is something I really want and didn't even know it. I am just glad Pete knows me and encouraged me to apply back in April. Still waiting on my insurance cards to show up. Because of the new job I had to put the boys in daycare.
