That's My Kid!!

May is almost over and we are looking forward to the fun of summer (sleeping in after 6:30 a.m.). Tyler has 4 more days of school left. I thought he would be ready for a break, but he is already begging me to sign him up for the summer school program. He is a wonderful student and an excellent reader. Kaitlyn is anticipating her birthday party on the 30th, and of course it has become an exagerrted affair, but I love putting on these special events for the kids and they love it too. She is ready for kindergarten and is counting down the days. Nicholas has all the sudden started talking and he has a lot of funny things to say. My new favorite is LALICIOUS instead of Delicious. He can say everyone's name, but his favorite word is still "no"! Jackson is sitting up really well and he has enoyed this. He is still a mama's boy, just ask anyone who tries to watch him around bedtime. I am looking forward to seeing all you. I hope everyone has a fun weekend!!

MOTHER'S DAY ZOO TRIP

ON MOTHER'S DAY KURT AND I, ALONG WITH MY AUNT WENDY'S FAMILY, AND KURTIS' COUSIN RUSSEL'S FAMILY TOOK THE KIDS TO THE ZOO. THERE WAS QUITE A CROWD, BUT THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT. IT SEEMS LIKE WE ALWAYS MAKE IT TO THE ZOO IN LATE JUNE OR JULY AND IT IS JUST TOO HOT, SO FROM NOW ON WE ARE GOING TO TRY AND MAKE IT THERE THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE KIDS HAD SO MUCH FUN AND IT WAS THE FIRST FAMILY OUTING I CAN REMEMBER WHERE IT WAS NOT MASS CHAOS. EVERYONE WAS GO WITH THE FLOW AND IT MADE FOR A REALLY NICE DAY. I AM STARTING TO SEE THAT IT IS GETTING EASIER TO GO PLACES WITH THE KIDS SINCE THEY ARE GETTING A LITTLE OLDER. ( as i said that nick just dumped a diet coke all over my living room carpet, go figure!)

Phew!

We finally got Jackson's test results back tonight. His Cystic Fibrosis test came back negative, and can I just say we are so relieved!! Now we wait to see the Pulmonary specialist at Primary Childrens in June and then we will go from there. We feel truely blessed and from this experience I have learned a great deal. Life is so precious and tomorrow is so unexpected, so enjoy today like it was your last!!

Jackson is 6 months old!

We took Jackson to get his pictures taken on Saturday, they turned out really cute. I cannot believe he is already 6 months old. Here are some of them.
