I am ALIVE!

Ok....so I have seriously failed at being a blogger for the past year! At least I make a better student than blogger...bahahaha! Ok, I skipped out on New Year's resolutions..lose weight, be healthy, be a better, more patient, organized mother/wife/person in general, however instead of disappointing myself, I will let these things happen naturally. I would like to make myself come back to my blog! I really miss it so much, and the past year or so that I have ignored it, so much has happened and I would love to go back and read about it all!! My child has grown into this giant 5 year old going on like 16, we have lost a precious furry family member, made huge future plans for ourselves, and just the normal everyday events that are big in the moment and then forgotten!! I am hoping by the end of this weekend (along with my 99 math problems and math quiz, interview for english, and my much needed night out of partying on Saturday) that I can successfully get some "2010-year-in-review" pictures posted!!! So to my fellow bloggers/readers...I am back!!

Study...Study...Study

As for myself, classes are going great! I have straight A's for now and only a little over a month left for my first semester! I am ready to get this semester over with and enjoy a couple weeks off! I am continuing classes (rather one class) through the summer so I will stay busy! I also have been busy between classes working out. I joined the Newtone Health and Fitness club! So far so good....I am loving it!! Just a little update....now off to study for a fun Math test!!

Ashlyn

Ashlyn came to spend her Spring Break with us last week. As a "thank you" for helping out with Ethan, I took her prom dress shopping. We found an incredible deal on her dress AND shoes...$20!! Very proud of her and myself!!

Loving the shoes!

Ethan playing rockin' music on his guitar! (Sadly...it has quit making actual noise!!) And like all famous musicians, he is making his own fashion statement!!

Craft Time!

Ethan and I made homemade birdfeeders the beginning of this month. They turned out really good....although ours became "squirrel" feeders! Ethan loved the oooey-goooey mess!

I know....I know....

Ok...so I have been a little busy. Homework, classes, snowstorms, Ethan......busy busy busy! I have not taken many pictures lately, and have not really had much to blog on. Update on school: Going great, I really love it. Except I am ready for nursing classes, my brain is burning to learn some new things!! My math class I am proudly holding an A in, and officially taught myself Geometry this week. Yaay, don't be jealous! I seriously know an equation for everything now, and still more to go! I have wrote about 6 papers, and it's only the end of Feb! I am excited for Spring Break, I feel like we should be going on some crazy vacation somewhere doing something really stupid! Anyways, we are all doing great. Clint just turned 30 and has been doing an awesome job helping me out! He even bought himself a new mop because mine was too worn out for him!! As for Ethan, he is adjusting. He really is enjoying his time with Dad, but every morning he tells me I should just stay home from school today and not ever go back! He is trying to read now and is also counting double digits. He surprised me when he went past 20 and continued on and on and on! He is enjoying kid crosswords and all sorts of smart stuff....he is my little brain child! I could write and endless book on his sayings/stories/phrases for the day, he is too comical! Well, I am done...hopefully will have more pictures next time!
