3 times in one month

I am back. Just wanted to make Grandma Carol happy and write again for her. We would like to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY also. We have been very busy as usual. Last monday night, my kids had their Christmas program and they did awesome. Taylor's group even sang and did sign language to Silent Night. At night we have been pretty much none stop. Not much time to sit back and relax. On Thursday night Santa made a delivery to our house so that the kids could open their gifts when we got home on Friday. It was so awesome to watch them open their gifts. They were so happy. Saturday we went to Pontiac and had the Sancken side Christmas and then our Christmas with mom. It was hard not having dad there. Mom had these awesome bears made for us all. The bears are made out of dad's shirts or pants. We all loved them. It really meant a lot to all of us. It was wonderful to see the family and to be together. On Sunday we had Christmas with Jason's mom, sister and her family. It was great. By that afternoon, we were all so tired. We went to bed very early.
This week is a short week at work for us. Lots of driving to do on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We only have 4 more Christmas' to go. For the first time we will be done with Christmas the day after Christmas. We are very excited about that. We hope that everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I'm Back

Well it has been eventful since the last post. Last weekend, the kids and I went back to Pontiac. Saturday we went shopping with mom and both girls got their ears pierced. Tyler farmed all day with the boys. Sunday we went to Aunt Janet's and baked Christmas cookies. We had a lot of fun. Tyler farmed again with the boys. We got home late Sunday night. Monday night we went to Angel's Holiday Program. It was so cute. She played the clarinet in the band and then at they sang songs. Tuesday night I though we had a free night. But that sounded too boring so I took Taylor to the doctor. She has a Bladder Infection. She is excited because she loves the antibiotic. Wednesday night we fought the cold air and Taylor had her PSR class. Thursday, both kids had dentist appointments. Tyler has no cavities and his 6 yr molars are coming in. Taylor had 1 cavity. Much better than what I expected after all the candy they have ate. Taylor also got her hair cut tonight. She wanted it above her shoulders so that is where it is. It looks really cute. This coming Monday is Taylor and Tyler's Christmas Program. Hoping that after that I can post a bunch of pictures. Hope that everyone is doing well. We are doing pretty good. Still have a lot of moments of missing dad. The kids always want to go to the grave side to see grandpa when we go back home. They really miss him.
The boys are done harvesting. They have done a great job with all of the farming. Dad, I am sure, is very proud of them. Trevor was even brave enough to let me drive the combine at 2:30 in the morning last Saturday night. I don't think that combining corn is my next calling. I rode with Trevor to help keep him awake. I only dozed a few times. Travis needed someone with him though. He fell asleep in the tractor waiting for us to finish the round. It brought back many memories to ride in the combine again. Riding in dad's truck and in the farm machinery is a little hard because it smells like him, but yet I didn't want to get out. The holidays are going to be different this year. So glad we have such a wonderful family to share with. Well I better go. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hello Again

Well Hello Again,
Once again, it has been pretty crazy in our house hold. Busy, Busy, Busy. That is how we like it. The kids are doing AWESOME in school. Their teachers had great things to say about both of them. They really enjoy school. Angel is also doing very well in her school, as well.

My new job is going well. I have so much to learn. Everytime I get done with a training, I get handed another. I do enjoy it though. Just a lot to take in.

The kids are all anxiously awaiting Christmas. Their list gets longer and longer everytime they watch T.V. or look at magazines. We may need a castle to hold all of their stuff. Can't wait to have our first Christmas in our new house. Which we still love. Hoping to get all of our Christmas decorations up very soon. We won't be home over the weekends so during the week is the only time we can do it.

And for our BIG news: TYLER LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH.
Sorry if you thought we had something else to say. Tyler lost his first tooth this past monday night. It looked like a shark tooth. He was so excited. Next week they go to the dentist. At least that is one less cavity I will have to worry about. All the candy they have eaten since Halloween, I am guessing that every tooth will have a cavity. The sad thing is, they still have a ton of candy. They are very good about sharing it with me, which I am very happy with. Well, I am really tired. Hope everyone had a Wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a blast with the family. See you all soon.
