Happy 5th Birthday Bryce!!

Bryce turned 5 yesterday and I must say that there are so many mixed feeling about this!! He is my youngest and he isn't a baby anymore!! It feels like a milestone!! He is starting kindergarten this year and I am having a hard time letting go of My baby!! I tell him all the time, but you are my baby!! He says but mom I am not a baby anymore!! Where did time go??? It feels like I just had this little miracle child. We have had a wonderful 5 years and he has grown so much!! We are so proud of the little man that he has become!! He has a long fight with asthma but for a 5 year old he is such a trooper!! He decided that Chuck E. Cheeses was the place again for this birthday so that is where we went!! He had a blast and got totally spoiled with tons of toys!! He was disappointed to open a shirt first thing before going to Chuck E Cheese.....He didn't ask for clothes so he sure let us know but seeing all those toys sure made that kids happy!! Here are a few pictures of my BIG BOY!!!

kicked out of school

Thomas Jefferson is a Joke... The principal has disliked Bruna from day one!! The first day he spoke spanish with her, which she speaks Portuguese.... She answers in English and he gets frustrated cause he wants her to respond in Spanish. A few days after this started she finally told him that in Brazil that they speak Portuguese.....he assisted to argue with her and she told him to google it....He was mad that she stood up to him....
Also, there are close to 12 foreign exchange at this school.... They all hug good bye.. Mr...Jerk, the principal, watched Bruna very closely. He wants her back in Brazil. He also has a foreign exchange student that is a boy and when Bruna does her rounds of hugs, she hugged him and The principal went to her yelling at her that they were making out and groping each other. He called me last Wednesday saying that she needed consequences for her actions. After talking with her she told me that they never do anything like that except hug goodbye. I told her that I would talk to him on Tuesday when they resumed back to school.
So I called the school on Tuesday and asked for an appt. Cathy, the sec, said there was nothing till Thursday. So I said ok. About 15 minutes later she calls back and says to pick up Bruna NOW and The principal wanted to meet with me.... ASAP....So about 20 minutes later I got the the school and Mr. Jerk and I went into the office and he yelled at me for about 45 minutes...Saying Bruna was selfish, spoiled and strong minded...
His first issue he brought up that He and the boy were to close and she was laying on his P@nis...over and over again... For a principal he could have used lap or genitals....
second issue was Bruna is late to school and to class everyday. She rides the bus so I know this is not true... I asked if I could speak to the teachers about her attendance and her attitude and performance, He said NO.... I told him that we have friends come to the house and I do ask about Bruna's performance to the friends and he said to me " I see where your maturity level is." That irritated me...
He told us that she was not able to come back till her attitude changed and she could follow all rules and bend over backwards. She must be in school because the semester started or she must go back to Brazil... So there is no choice to allow her to take a break from him!!
After we left, he told our coordinator that he admitted to judging me for my age but I did very well as he was criticizing me....
We are working on getting her to a different school but until we can she must be on her best behavior and do everything to a T..including an apology letter to him....She took this to him yesterday and he replied that it was exactly what he wanted....JERK!!!
She is in good spirit about this and I can not wait till we can get her out of there!! We are going to the Board about this situation!!

I hope your day is great and if you have any ideas let me know!!

Bing Bang!!

This last weekend we headed out to my parents for a day of fun. The kids always love to go there because there is so much to do with 4 wheeler riding and this day we decided to take Bruna to go out and shoot a gun because she will be taking hunters education in the beginning of March!! She got a lot of firsts to do again. This was her first 4 wheeler ride.....which she loved!! Her first time seeing a bear that was shot by me and shooting a gun!! Even Katelyn and Austin enjoy shooting the guns and Austin is a great shot!!! That boy is just like his papa!! Here are some pictures of our day events!!



In the car on the way to a fun filled few hours of shooting!!
Watch out-----Bruna with a gun!!

The 4 wheeler, The first time on a 4wheeler and her first time driving!! She loves going fast

My dad took her on a ride and you could hear screaming the whole time even a mile away!!
What a great day of new times!!

Nothing going on!!

There isnt much going on with life right now other than we got a new tv and Cody got a gun safe. It is so nice to have a gun safe now and have all the hunting things out of the closet. The television was a great Valentine;s gift for Cody and he is enjoying the hunting channel on the 50 inch. It has a great picture and it is nice to have a little more room in the living area!! Also it is so much easier to guitar hero on!! Also, the movies are great as well!! I spent most of Friday in the doctors due to a cracked rib. That is always fun!! The kids and Cody went to Wahooz for laser tag. They had a blast!! I don't have any pictures to share this time around!!!

Head to Toe in Homework!!!

So this last module that I have in Stevens Henager is crazy!!! I have a radiology course!! Super fun but there is a lot of homework!!! I turned my coffee table into my desk and I am using part of the living room floor!! I have 3 classes left and I am feeling the overwhelming feeling of student loans and my externship and Bryce going to preschool and just the fact that in a week and a half I have tons and tons of homework.....I love how the accelerated program is with classes every month but that means more work during that time!! I look back at my 2 years in college and I wonder first of all where the time has gone!!! It has been very rewarding so far to learn and be apart of helping people and the medical field!!!
Bryce will do great in preschool and I think it is just nerves of letting go my baby!!! Its hard to believe that he is going to be 5 this month!! Talk about time flying!! My kids and husband have been so amazing and supportive of my journey with school and I am so blessed to have their love!!


Also, I have found out that graduation is officially MAY 13th...so mark your calendars!!!
