Well here I go again

I still haven't gotten any better at this blogging stuff! So Kudos to all you bloggers.
But I am gonna give it another try. So here goes.......
I can't believe summer vacation is coming to an end already. Where did it go? The summer weather just barely got here. And the end of summer means that I will have a 4th grader... A 4TH GRADER!!!!!!!! How did this happen he was just 3 years old not so long ago. But he has grown so much over the summer. He has turned into quite the young man. Yes he still fights CONSTANTLY with his sister but he has also come to terms that he is not an only child anymore. Thank goodness! It only took him 3 years to come to this point. He is a good kid. And getting better everyday! I am now starting to realize that he is not a kid anymore he is turning into a young man and that is sad :(
I am looking forward to meeting his teachers (yes two of them YAY!!!Two is always better than one) next week. Kam is excited too. He keeps correcting me every time I tell someone we are going to meet the teacher next year he says no mom Teacher'SSSS. 
We are not going to give him any ADHD medication because I still just don't believe he needs that scary medication. I think it is really a matter of overcrowded classrooms because I can get him to do school work here ....he has been practicing multiplication and he has been reading throughout the summer. He is reading Harry Potter right now which I think is a little over his head but I wont discourage him from it. At least he is reading right? I am a proud happy mama!!!!!!!
As for Jordyn WOW!!! She is a brat! A lovable brat but still a brat. I think we went wrong when she got out of the hospital and we were just thankful that she was healthy so we let her get away with a lot. And just counted our blessings. Then every time she gets sick we flash back to the month in the hospital and how scary that was and it starts all over again with the counting our blessings and she gets away with more. OK so more Ryan than me because she is really daddy's girl. But also me too. So we are now working on fixing the problem. Ugh!!! But she is still so dang cute!!!! She is loving the movie Finding Nemo right now and she tells me at least once a day that Dori says bad squishy (you know the jellyfish scene when Dori gets stung). And when she says it  just cracks you up because her pronunciation is just so cute. We just love her so much. She is not all brat just the majority. But she is 3 so she is entitled I suppose. You know the song..... You're gonna miss this by Trace Adkins. That song better be right because I just don't see myself missing this....yet!
And Lincoln and he is just so mellow and laid back. Love that BIG little guy! My only wish for him right now is that he would talk more.....he just points and says uh! or Ah! and somebody usually knows what he wants and gets it for him so no need for him to talk. So 18 months old and the only words he really says are...mom, dada, kitty, dog, and cuckoo (yes you read that right the kid says cuckoo not sure where he learned that). But he will go to the fridge if he is thirsty, and he will go to the pantry when he is hungry. He also follows directions like lets go brush your teeth, or do you want to take a bath?  He also knows what do you want a bite? means (of course lil chubby dude!) So in time he will speak..... they all do right?
OK and last but not least Ryan...yes the love of my life. He has become quite the workaholic. He has started so many projects this year that his work day doesn't end when he leaves the job. He gets home and works until he falls asleep ....or as I call it passes out on the couch (about 9 pm)  until I wake him up to go to bed. We are remodeling our basement so it is gutted completely (it was done wrong in the first place so it will end up better), we are replacing the fence in our backyard because everytime the wind blows really hard the wooden fence falls down and  both us and the neighbor have a big dog but at least our dog's get along. Also as I have mentioned we started painting our upstairs in January and it is almost done but not quite so I of course tease him about that. Telling him he is the man of unfinished projects. Which REALLY he is but at lease he doese projsects and isn't just sitting on the couch being lazy. And along with all that he also mows the lawn once a week and washes vehicles about once a week and takes Kam to Tae Kwon do every Monday Wednesday and sometimes Friday. See what a man. I really love that guy!!!! I am so lucky to have met him. I hope he knows this.
And then there is me.... and I am surviving my summer with three kids and the little boy I took in babysitting. And I am loving every minute of it. I am one happy mom and wife. I could not ask for anything else. Life is good. I am going to attempt teaching preschool this fall. So wish me luck. I have faith...I used to do it for a living so I got it! I think it will be so much fun!!! Jordyn is excited. I wont disappoint!!
Well enough rambling...I just gotta say that we have had a good summer...lots of camping,fishing (Lincoln and Jordyn's first fishing trip), a few trips to the zoo, and other places, watched and lit off fireworks, swimming and much more. Just sad to see it end because there was so many more thing I wanted to do. But no regrets!!!!
