I am updating my blog now..I have 3 weeks left of Medical Assistant schooling, then I will be doing a 160 internship for a Dr. The kids are getting so big. Teagan 11 and Cade 7. Both kids are at teh same school now, and they get to ride the bus together. they are on spring break right now, and my mother-in-law and sister are here watching the kids for me while I go to school. I have kept 4.0+ entire time at school, and I will take the state exam in about 90 days.
We have no more cats..So the mice are returning..bummer...But teagan did come to me with an actual proposal. She researched online, and figured out she had enough money to buy a hampster! After her arguing her point all day, we decited hey, the child has the money, and lets take her to petsmart..Teagan's newest friend is a female Russian somethign or other, but it bit me after I put the cage together! Made my finger bleed! I have seen Rita in a ball rolling around the house, in a box with a towel, (good thing they have a 14day gurantee) I think its funny Conley will let a hampster into our house, but not my poochie..(when hes here haha!)

I have 2 months left until I am a medical assistant, it's been an intense last 6 months and I am so ready to be done! Cade is almost 7! Teagan is 11, and both kids are now at the same school. Cade loves the bus rides. We celebrated 8 years in January, we get to go on lots of dates, and we are all doing well. Will update more later.

Disney Day 1

We arrived here Sunday about 12pm. We got on the Disney bus, arrived at the hotel and were able to get a room right away. We were so happy when we walked into  the room! We have a theme park view, with bunk beds. (Kids loving those) We can see California adventure from our room, and also the color of wonder show. I was excited to meet my aunts and cousins here also! They are experts on the whole Disney experience, and so we got to go on a ton of rides! In 5 hours we went on Pirates, Indianan Jones, Space Mtn 2x, Big Thunder mtn, whinne pooh (cade said was gay), tower of terror, splash mtn, jungle adventure (tons of elephants sandrine, need to go back and get some pics for Erin) ferry boat ride, buzz lightyear. We are having fun, and will update day 2 (today) later!

Teagan updates.

Teagan-

She has gotten 2 new pair of glasses, she was complaining she couldn't see out of her glasses, and now she can see. She has started to turn into a little young lady. She has training bras (yikes) and is always playing with her cat Kiko. I didn't sign her up for softball this summer, because she didn't want to play, and I thought we would be out of town alot. She is enjoying playing with her Nintendo Ds, and her brother. They fight like cats and dogs, but she cares a lot for him. We go on bike rides, walks and go to the pool. I didn't sign us up for any amusement parks this summer, because I ama mean mom..(JK) She flew to Tucson with me and Cade on June 28th, she met her little cousin Cole, and had a blast with all of the boys out there that Amy's stepmom to. Teagan really had a great time with Aaron he is a week older then her, and Cade had a blast with Ethan and Taylor who are 7 and 8, and Cade is bigger then the 7 year old, and as big as the 8 year old. Teagan went to El Paso for my brother's wedding. She had a lot of fun swimming in the hotel pool, it was a indoor/outdoor pool and the kids had to swim under a glass wall to get to the outdoor pool, they loved it. After we got home, Teagan has been to the Dr. She is 56 in tall and 85 pounds. She had to get a shot, and wasn't happy about that, but afterwards asked me if getting her ears pierced would hurt like that. I said probably less. This has been an on going battle for me. I really want her to get earings, she has no desire to do it. but as I have always said, I want it to be her choice, her body, she can make this decision. She also has no cavaties, but the dentist said she is starting to get some over-crowding in her mouth which means she needs to loose a few teeth, but for the most part her teeth are really straight on the top, a little crooked on the bottom, but she is a great little kid. We are going to get bank accounts today.

My cousin has moved here now, so on occasion we hang out with him. That is who is in the Boulder hiking pic..That is at Flagstaff.

Wednesday

Today the kids went to the dentist..No cavaties yay! Even with all the junk food, late night sodas they drink etc, I'm happy about that. Today I took the kids to the library. No special reason, just to get some books before my Dr appt. Well the library is all new here, and has a really nice kid area, and all these computers. It's so much nicer then our old library! They even gave the kids scrapbooks, real rectangular 3 ring books, and pages to insert about their summer plans, all about summer. And they got a good size book bag to bring their books home in. (I'm sure our taxes paid for these) Cade found all these comic books, and Teagan also got comic books, and a few chapter books. The new library even lets the kids check out their own books, and is totally worth the trip! We will be going back soon. Later the kids had to wait for me at the Dr. I felt horrible, since the Dr was running 1hr and 15 min behind! Cade was running up and down the hall, and I just about left as the Dr walked in. After that we went to Sonic and then home. Phew..
