Updates

A few family updates:

-We bought a camper! I am so excited, it is an older one, but it is just perfect for the three of us. The only thing we have to figure out is how to get Daisey in and out of it. She has gotten so blind and is so stove up that it is hard for her to even get up the stairs and get into the house anymore. It is hard to believe that I have had her for 11 years.
-Wes received his official certificate for his ASE Certification. He has taken two more tests for his Master Technician and will be taking a third next week. There are a lot of tests that he is going to need to take over the next few years to get this.
-We survived another year of Fire School!
-Wes is still taking his classes to be a Fire Officer, and is still a Rookie Training Officer.
-Kassi is no longer sleeping in her crib! We took it down and she is now sleeping on her mattress on the floor, until we are confident that she is not rolling off of it. Which so far she has not. She actually really seems to like it and sleeps a lot better this way.
-Kassi's memory is amazing. She recognizes places we've been and what we do there. For instance she knows that when we turn the corner a couple of blocks away that we are almost home and will say that we are "go home". She also remembers things that we tell her throughout the day. We can tell her that she can do this or that after supper and as soon as we get done with supper that day she will remind us what we had told her.
-We now have 6 motorcycles and one 4-wheeler. I'm not sure why when there are only two of us that are big enough to ride these things?
-Kassi still has two fish, one of the originals and the new black fish. Everyday I think the black fish is about to die, but he keeps on ticking. I've never seen a fish go belly up so many times and stay alive! He's a fighter.
-I continue to put outgrown clothes, toys, furniture, utensils etc. away. I had our downstairs spare room cleaned out at Christmas time and now it is very full again?? Funny how quickly that happens. My cousin was a dear and took a ton of clothes, receiving blankets and other girl things for her little girl. We also filled another friends pickup with gender neutral and boy things, since they had a boy in January. So I don't feel right bombarding them with a whole lot of other things, but they may just get a few more surprises on their doorsteps one of these days!


I think that is about all of the updates I can think of right now...
Oh I guess I could give an update on me. I have been fighting my asthma for the past few weeks and am really tired because of it. I hope to get it back on track soon. It is hard not being able to keep up with Kassi and having to try and explain to her that mommy can't play chase because she can't breathe. I have started a lot of projects that I am slowly finishing up. The first one completed was Kassi's room makeover. The next one I hope to finish is the conversion of our upstairs spare room into Kassi's toy room. Our house is a little overrun with toys, books and little girl things so it is time to make a place to keep it all.

  1. You guys have so much going on! Wow. I know what you mean about the kids out growing things so quick. Avery is such a big baby and really growing. Mason seems to be more steady, but he is older too. We are working on potty training and I would take any advice that you have!!!!
