  • We have decided to school X at home this year.  It has been three weeks since school started.  I am split on the decision weather it has been the correct choice.  Schooling a forth grader is a full time job and I already have two part time jobs.  Aaron and I, split the classess with…

  • On Saturday morning we took some whole bean coffee from Thousand Hills to the Buckeye Fire Department.  I wanted to thank them for taking me to the hospital in October.  I wasn’t grateful for being in the hospital, but I was very thankful that they were there to take me there and at least start…

  • Yesterday was a hard but great day.  I knew that because Uncle James was in town that Xavier would want to go hiking.  I wanted so badly to join my family on this adventure.  So knowing that my right leg had been feeling very tight and tender, I did something that I thought I would…

  • Yesterday Xavier had a school field trip to the Phoenix Zoo.  I was looking forward to being out with my family but not to the pain that would come later.  So I took some precautions in the morning and at lunch and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.  I did however…

  • Today was Xavier’s first day of Kindergarten.  He was very excited to be going, I was a little sad to see my little boy to be growing up.  I didn’t cry, but I did get teary eyed. X said that he enjoyed his first day, he got to be the weather man and he had…

  • We have been enjoying our time in OK. We have been doing all the normal things like shooting turtles in the pond, riding quads, reading over 400 pages, “hiking”, and other crazy things. Xavier has been outside about 95% of the time. If he is awake we can’t keep him in. He is usually dirt…

  • March 12, 2009 Aaron, X, and I start off on our road trip to end up in Oklahoma. We decided that we would take time getting there and have fun as a family. Our first destination would be White Sands, NM. I had thought that I had done my research and White Sands would be…

  • TO RIDE! Xavier was so thrilled that he was able to ride his quad last weekend. He always has so much fun zooming around our property. He is getting quite good at turning and using the brakes to come into “camp”. I can’t believe how much bigger he looks on it this year. He is…
