Riley's surgery

happy riley before her surgery

As most of you know, Riley had to have surgery on thursday april 23rd. she did very well, she had ot have a sist removed from her thyroid.

everything turned out good, she was very brave. and now she has sitches but should heal up pretty good. thanks for all the support...after surgery

Counting down the days!!

mike...i dont think he likes going down the slide

typical kid...loves to be outside

I tried to tell her she was way to small...

Life has been extremely stressful lately, with us not wanting to be in NY anymore, my parents taken it hard, chris 's work stinking, and the lights bill out here is so darn expensive, how can anyone afford to pay it. So as of today we have 67 days till the kids are out of school, till we move and 7 days till we start packing. i think it sounds better that we have 2 months till we leave...

i try to look on the bright side of things, so i decided since it was like 65 out, i thought i would take the kids to the park...here are some pics..

Update

Ok so its official i am sure most of you know. we are going back home where we belong..UTAH!!!! as soon as our kids get outta school. we plan on being there before July. We just dont like ny all that much, everything is very expensive due to the texes in this state, and the pay is so low i can imagine how anyone makes it. So everyone keep your fingers crossed that we find a great house. we have one...but its not 100% yet maybe 98% but lets keep our fingers crossed. i cant wait to be back where we belong. much love

well that is how it is for now

hello everyone. just wanted to let you guys know how things are. Riley has been super sick for like a week. its so crazy she has missed so much school. miss kaitbug is walking everywhere, and now she learned how ot climb up on the couch. she hasnt fell yet thank goodness. but we are keeping our fingers crossed
we are counting down the days till we can get outta here and get to AZ ( to see jules) snow stinks, and we are so ready to leave it. nothings worst then getting stuck in the driveway, and no one around to help. and school gets canceled and delayed all the time, how do they expect kids to learn. ugh sometimes i just need to vent.

Kaitlyn walking

So i thought i would upload a video or two of kaitlyn. she is learning how to walk at 10 1/2 months old. she looks so cute cause she is so tiny.. check them out!!

Wow its been a while

So things are finally feeling like normal and we finally feel like things are settled in. almost 3 weeks here. i cant believe it. so much has changed, but then so much is still the same. kaitlyn is starting to stand alone, before i know it she will be walking.. she is only going on 10 months and she is growing so fast. Riley. has changed alot, she is in kindergarten, all day long and she loves it so much. she is already one of the smartest in her class ( i didnt see that one coming) lol. chris is in a junior high type school without his brother... its way different but i think he loves being seperated. mikey is in the highest grade in the school so of course he feels like he needs to take care of his sister in the smallest. how cute.
well today was ry's first school assembly ever. so so so cute. pictures will come. but other than that we are doing good, we found a good place and it even has a fenced in back yard!!! well that is all for now.. we hate the snow..lol

Finally in NY

so i have been in ny for about 2 days and things are going ok. its nice to be back with the family. but the snow is crazy... ugh i can deal with it. kaitlyn has been sick, i think its cause of the climate change. but she will adjust. we are waiting to hear back on a house, so keep your fingers crossed. chris has been under alot of stress from the move, lets hope it gets better within the next week. other than that things are good and we are happy. but we miss alot of special people in utah. and we love them oh so dearly
