Days fly by!!

Hello Again!! it has been a long time but here is where we are at!!

We have been in NC for almost 7 months,,and I ask where the time went??? Well it sure do go by fast and we have been busier than ever before but we are absolutely loving it here. Of course I have my days where I would rather be with my Idaho family and friends but I am def. busy and doing very well.

I am working everyday and it is good to be out of the house and be a full time employee, it is especially nice to have he extra money. After work its homework with the kiddos and house work and dinner and a little family time and then bed. And do it again. Lately, The kids have been wanting a lot of baseball time so we are always at the field on the weekend and in the evenings.

Austin had his spring tryouts for one league and he did wonderful. He has improved so much and gotten a lot stronger this year. He absolutely amazes me. It was the number one pick for the draft from 8 out of 12 coaches. He loves baseball. We took him to meet some of the Braves Players and he got some autographs. he was so excited about that and was in awe over the event. It was pretty cool to see the men that the kids look up too. At school they have different days that they emphasize on...This day was Career Day and they were told to dress up like the career that they wanted to go into...Wee you ask what was Austin?? A Atlanta Braves Player..He fit the part!! Another great experience that he got to do was to have a day camp with a different MLB player. He learned some great tips.

Bryce has been ever so busy and impresses my with the things that little man know and memorizes. He is doing awesome in kindergarten and is a great student. He plays coach pitch baseball and tries so hard to keep up with Austin. He def. is his own lil self. He says he is a pitcher. My lil man is officially 6 years old. We took him to Red Robin on Friday with a few adult friends and they sang happy birthday and today we went shopping and had icecream. Next week is the big day though...All his classmates and a few others were invited to a neat place that has batting cages, inflatables, mini-golf, and a few other things. He is excited about that!! Will post pics on that soon!!

Katelyn, is a talker!! She loves to chat in class and home and anytime she can get a word in!! She got 5 slips pulled at school out of 6 days....Yeah....I wasnt happy but come to find out she is getting these pulled after her work is done... Her teacher states that she is fast and the work is easy for here and she needs to learn to stay busy and not interupt other students...Well this has been the case for 3 years now...Idaho teachers gave her extra work to do that was harder and challenged her. Well not in NC....they just let them sit there and get in trouble. She is a smart little girl who is def. maturing and turning into a wonderful young lady. She is def. more fun to hang out with and do the girl things together. She likes softball and wants to try out for a allstar softball team...Maybe but we will see!!

Cody...Well he is working long days. He is a busy guy and gonna get busier!! He is coaching Austin's baseball team for the spring. If he is not a work you could find him on the ball field or in the house with a baseball and Austin. It is non stop and drives me CRAZY!!

We are getting ready to head to Disney World next month and we are so excited not only for the trip of getting away but my parents are coming too!!! I am def ready for a lil fun away from work and that doesnt include baseball...And I am most def. ready to see my family.

There are many busy days here in NC but they all consist of the same things. Work and Baseball...We are what most would call freaks about that sport!! :) We would love on the field if we could!! We have the sport in out blood!!

We are also planning some other fun trips this coming spring to Atlanta to watch them play. And Michigan in June to see my new Nephew that will be here at that time!! My mom is also coming for a month so we are hoping to make a trip to see her sister a few hours away!!

To all my Idaho family and friends, I miss all of you terribly and hope that our family can make it down at Christmas to see all of you.. I hope you are all well!!

Stay Tuned....

Busy Bust is my daily life....I think about posting some updated news but I have been so busy with work and the kids and just the daily life. I barely get on my phone anymore.. I wanted you all to know that I am still alive and we are all doing well, other than being busy!!! I will post soon and let you know everything that is going on in our lives in NC....there is a lot to tell, so stay tuned!!!

October fun

Halloween was such a great time. It was bitter sweet though because it was our first holiday as a family in another state. It was celebrated around our area for two days. The kids loved getting dressed up two times. Saturday we had a party for the end of the season baseball and softball season. The kids had a great time!! We went to a block party and the kids saw lots of kids from school and we met up with lots of friends!! After we had dinner with some frinds and then took the party to our house!! We used the hot tub and the kids seemed to have a good time!! It was so much fun! There are hardly any subdivisions here so all the trick or treating is street walking and the house are spread out so alot of people do the trunk or treating!! We did end up on Sunday doing some of both. The kids got so much candy. They had a blast!!

We are also putting in new flooring, which has been a project for a few weeks now!! So far so good and hopefully we can get done tonight!! It is looking so GOOD !! I love Cody that he is so willing to put it in and he is doing a great job!! The hot tub is needed as he is super sore from all the bending!!

I got a JOB!! I am so excited and I start next week!! The kids are going to go to a after school program through the YMCA and they are pretty excited about that!! It is just a Registrar position through a local medical office but I feel good about the opportunity and getting into the medical field!! I will keep you update on that!!

A look back

Time to look back a few months....I just downloaded some over due pictures from our trip to Lagoon when we lived in Idaho and when Austin played AllStar Baseball as our last season in Idaho. Here are a few of those picture!!

2 months of living in NC

Cody was camera happy!!


First day of School!!

It has been officially over 8 weeks since we have moved to North Carolina!!! Where has the time gone??? Well I will tell ya....

The kids are adjusting to school and they come home excited about their day. The teachers are GREAT and all 3 kids are meeting some amazing kids and friends!! Katelyn has missed a few friends from Idaho esp Gavin but she has found a new crush. The only problem is he is in 7th grade!! He is on Austin's baseball team!! He is a cutie though!! Austin still doesn't care for girls which I am okay with. And for Bryce, well he has a girlfriend, and he tells everyone that she is CUTE!! Her name is Bezida. She is a sweet little girl but it is so funny to hear how Bryce talks about her. He tells us that he is in love and she doesnt know it!! Or we ask Bryce if she is in his class, he replies yes. We ask if they sit by eachother he says yes right beside him.... So we have fun with that and say Bezida sits Beside ya.... it funny!!

The kids are in baseball and soon to be in basketball. Everyday of the week we are at a practice or a game. The only day to get things done is Sunday. Katelyn is doing GREAT in softball as this is her first year playing with the only girls!! Austin is AMAZING with the older kids and it is so fun to see the older kids just encourage him and help him achieve and succeed. Bryce is playing coach pitch ball and he is having a blast and is a SUPER little hitter!! I am having a blast watching the kids and meeting some moms along the way.

Cody is doing great at his job and still have high expectations for himself. He is also coaching Bryce's team and so he is busy too!! We eat dinner together about 9 pm, I know its bad for you but it is the time we get home and have some down time. And when i say we, I mean Cody and me, the kids eat before games!! I do feed them, lol!!

I am still trying to get the house in order and trying to find colors to paint and decor ideas. There are about 5 rooms that I am trying to accomplish but I just look at colors and I like them all but not sure if they are right in that room!! I need a creative vibe my way!!! I am helping 2 days a week in Bryce's class and it is fun to see him learn and grow!! He is a sweet kid in class and always gets compliments on how much he helps and interacts with the daily things they do!! He is eager to learn!!

Illness took over my life for 3 and a half weeks and I am glad to get my life back and this house back in order and accomplished!! I was diagnosed with cluster headaches and there were days where I could only get our of bed for a few hours a day. It was miserable, BUT I am back!!

The weather is awesome right now!! Not to hot and not to cold during the day. At night gets chilly...So that means one thing---HOT TUB time!! I am so excited about that and so are the kids!! Well I think that is all for now till I get some painting done so her are a few pictures of life the last 8 weeks!!

Since we got to NC
