This & That

Well, I haven't been updating as much as I'd like to - just busy with everyday life!! You know, finding all my good deals for my craft blog!!! (haha, just kidding!! - - kinda!! ;)

Anyway, this is what we've been up to lately:

* Madelyn: going to dance 2 hours on Tuesdays - on the Powerforce team, taking tap & jazz!! (Driving me crazy, "tapping" at every store we go to!!) :) Enjoying school & doing great!!

* Noah: going to wrestling Mondays & Wednesdays - loves it & doing great; has his big tournament next week!! Goes to his STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) Club, on Thursdays - really likes it - learned about airplanes the last few weeks! Doing great in school!!

* Hunter: loves "going" to preschool!! Doing great!! :) Loves his baby sister so much that constantly watches out for her so she isn't going to choke on anything!! (Kinda an issue at home - she actually teases him & puts things up to her mouth, only to watch him freak out & even cry!!! - - she's such a brat & he's a little obsessed!!! ;) Still loves dressing up - lately, he's a "cop" - but decided that he wants to be a "biker" for Halloween! --Not too exciting there!! :( Basically the same thing he wore last year, with out the make-up!!

*Olivia: busy little ladybug!! She's always getting into something!! Loves her babies, her kitchen & playing with the other kids; Loves going to nursery (yeah!!); still not talking too much, but can say: get, stop, Hunter, Mom, Dad, Lilo, Papa, hot, baby, up, cheese, and a few other things!!! Can sign: eat, milk, please, more & thank you! FINALLY sleeping through the night - - - hallelujah!!!! :)

*Shayne: just went on a 9-day archery elk hunt & SCORED!! Woo-hoo!! We've got about 250 lbs. of meat coming our way - can't wait!! (NOT!!) He's getting ready to go on a 3-day turkey hunt this coming weekend!! Still at Station 13 - still loving work!! ;)

* Tiffany: staying busy as the family "bus driver"!! ;) (actually, when Shayne's home, he's great & takes Noah to wrestling & takes the kids to school!!!) ;) Relieved that the broadcast is over for 6 months - however, it was awesome!! :) Finding some great GF recipes; great deals while out & about; and finding a little time here & there to scrapbook!!! Enjoying my time as Hunter's "teacher", and helping him get ready for kindergarten (snif) :( !!
