Tonights blog won't be very long. Not a whole lot going on here except for both Ronnie and I working lots of hours. Only gonna get worse since we had a lady quit yesterday so the next few weeks I will be working a lot.
However, we did manage to go to the circus on Wednesday night and the boys really enjoyed it as did I. My favorite part was the tigers. They are such beautiful animals.
Also around here we have a lot of snakes. I am terrified of them. We caught a couple that Ronnie took to release out of town. We have a den of them in the backyard. I am not too crazy about this. I'm hoping they decide to move away. Unlikely but one can always hope.
Getting ready for bed now as I work early once again tomorrow. Worked over 12 hours yesterday and work ten today starting at 5 am. Will be happy when I get a day off. Goodnight.

Start of another week
Well, its hard to believe that it is already April 3rd. We were planning on going to Rochester this week for the boys but will have to reschedule their appointments as money is kind of tight and gas is expensive.
Also this week the Shrine Circus is coming to town. The boys are excited to go. We just have to figure out what day we are gonna go as both Ronnie and I work all the days it is here. We also have to figure out if we are gonna do something for Isaac's birthday. He turns 7 on April 11th. Ronnie and I also have an anniversary coming up on April 18th and we would like to take a little mini vacation. We will have to see.
Today it is very windy outside so the boys are busy playing in the basement. I am trying to get laundry done and Ronnie is getting ready to go to work. Hope today finds everybody in good spirits.

March is almost over!
It is so hard to believe that there is only one more day of March left. I am just not very excited about all the snow and water everywhere. The sump pump has already been running quite a bit already.
Today work was really busy. I was kind of hoping for a nice day like yesterday. We haven't had too many of those. There is still a lot of influenza going around. Luckiky all three boys already had influenza B this year and none of them got real bad. Mason was probably the worst but they are all doing ok now. Somehow Ronnie and I managed not to get it. Ronnie did manage to get strep throat last week. He is usually never sick.
Other then that Isaac had school today and Avery and Mason had daycare as Ronnie and I both worked. Just getting them ready for bed and I'm sure I will be in my bed soon too. Five o'clock in the morning comes too quickly some mornings. Glad that tomorrow is my last day this week.
Goodnight.

More happenings
Just realized that it had been almost a year since I had blogged last. Since it has been that long I can tell more of what happened.
On July 29th we almost lost Mason. During the nice days of summer we would take the boys fishing. They enjoyed this as we did. Got to spend quality time with the family. On this particular day we were out at Richmond Lake fishing at one of Ronnie's coworkers cabins. The guy who was renting the place offered to take the boys on paddleboat rides. He had them all get life jackets on. I didn't realize that if a life jacket is too big it can be a bad thing. Avery and Mason had already had their rides. While Isaac was on the paddleboat the two little ones were way up by the cabin playing. Ronnie and I had just turned our heads away for a second when Avery yelled "Mason where are you?". Our heads snapped real fast. Avery pointed toward the water when Ronnie asked what he meant by where Mason is. Ronnie took off and is much faster then I am so he got there first. I saw Ronnie jump in the water out of the corner of my eye and by the time I got there he was carrying a motionless Mason.
This was one of the scariest moments in my life. He was not moving and foam was by his nose and mouth. I ran to get my phone to call 911. Ronnie staryed CPR and I almsot lost it when I heard his voice crack while telling Mason to breathe. It was hard talking to the operator and staying calm. We didn't know the address there. It took a long time which seemed like an enternity until we heard the ambulance sirens. We then realized they were on the wrong side of the lake. At this point a neighbor came out and I gave him my phone to tell the operator where they need to go. It was a great sight when the ambulance guys came around the corner. The helicopter had just landed.
It was a good thing Ronnie knew CPR as did I or Mason wouldn't be here today. He was taken to the hospital and kept overnight for observation. Ronnie only had to do CPR for about 30 seconds. Mason had started to breathe at that point and threw up the water he had swallowed.
Needless to say, we are going to be putting the boys in swim lessons this year as none of them know how to swim. Also, they are not gonna be allowed to go fishing until we have bought them life jackets that fit. I had nightmares for a long time but am glad that God was there watching out for him and us. It could have so much worse. We make sure to say our prayers every day and thank God for all of our blessings.

Been a long time
It has been a long time since I have blogged. I aplogize. We no longer have cable and internet. Have turned it off to save money and to keep the kids from watching tv all the time.
The school year is almost over. Isaac had great reports from his teacher at conferences and will be moving to the second grade. Avery has gotten all his school shots and is already registered. He will be starting in the fall. I will then just have Mason who will start the next year. Not sure where all the time has gone.
Since I have blogged last Isaac and Avery have participated in youth wrestling. Both boys had a great season. They both made it to regionals. Isaac did not place but had a very tough division to wrestle in. Avery wreslted very well and placed 4th. He missed making state by one place. Next year should be a good year. All three boys will probably be wrestling. My father seemed to enjoy watching the boys wrestle and was fortunate enough to watch them wrestle at regions since it was in Aberdeen. Next year state will be in Aberdeen so I hope the boys make it that far.
Ronnie and I have both been working a lot of hours. Ronnie is an assistan manager at Max & Erma's and puts in a lot of hours. Usually 50 plus. I have been working a lot as we have two people out with injuries. I could probably work everyday if I wanted to.
Ronnie and I will be going up to Rochester next week as the two older boys have appointments with a pediatric oncologist. Hopefully everything goes well and we have good weather for traveling. We also would like to take a mini vacation for our anniversary but will have to wait and see.
In May the boys have their concerts at school and daycare so that should be fun. They so like to sing. I will try to post more later to catch everyone up.

It's Already May of 2010
Hello everybody, it has for sure been a long time since I have blogged and I do apologize. Last time I wrote was in September. Since then Isaac has been going to school and is about to finish up his first year and move on to being a first grader.
Also since then Ronnie's job at Coventry has ended as the building in Aberdeen closed in December. He was done with work at the end of October. He started his new job in the middle of Feb. at the new restaurant Max & Erma's that was built here in Aberdeen. He started as a prep cook in the kitchen and has already moved up to kitchen supervisor. He really loves his job and he does work a lot.
Avery and Mason started a new daycare in Feb. when Ronnie started his new job. They go to World of Fun and they really do enjoy it and they learn a lot as they have preschool in the morning. Avery also attends speech classes twice a week at Lincoln Elementary School and he really likes his teacher Mrs. Mason. Avery has his a little music program this Friday at daycare and he is very excited. I will have to take pictures and post them for sure.
I am still working at Avera St. Lukes Hospital in the lab. I work full time there and sometimes more then that. I mostly work at 5 am but have a variety of shifts that I also work.
Since I blogged last Avery turned 4 in November on the 19th, we had Christmas, we celebrated Easter, Isaac turned 6 on April 11th and Ronnie and I celebrated another anniversary on April 18th. This year we took a little trip as a belated honeymoon and had a great time. My sister Darby watched the boys and it turned out that I missed them a lot more then they missed me :) Isaac also participated in wrestling this year and it turns out he is really pretty good at it. All the matches he competed in he has won and has a couple of trophies that he proudly put by his father's trophies. Isaac was very proud when his Grandpa Barry, and Darby, Justin and Bailey came to see him wrestle at one of his matches. He will probably participate again this upcoming year.
I will try to be better at blogging and will try to post again soon. Hope that all the mothers out there do have a very Happy Mother's Day this coming Sunday.

End of September
I can not believe that there are only a few more days left to September. I just do not know where all the time has gone. In fact, today is Isaac's last soccer game and it seems like he just started. Tonight Ronnie also has his last softball game and next week he has his last flag football game. It will be different not having to remember who has a game and what time it is. I will have a little break until the spring anyway. Then it should be fun as Avery will be old enough to play soccer if he wants to. Now the only thing I have to remember is that starting next week every Monday and Wednesday at 6 Isaac has an archery class that he is participating in. He really wants to do this so it will be interesting to see how he does. Hopefully he has much better aim then his mom!
October should be a fun month around here. I love the fall. The colors of the leaves and the cool weather are what I like about this time of year. We would like to take the boys to the pumpkin patch here again this year but I have to find out when they have it. The second weekend of October is Gypsy Day's here so the boys will enjoy going to the parade. I also enjoy this but my favorite parts are the marching bands. That weekend Ronnie's mother is coming up from Denver so that will be really nice. I don't think she will be here in time for the parade though as she is coming up that Saturday and then leaving on Tuesday. We will have to see when her flight plan is finalized.
Not much going on today. Just trying to catch up on some laundry and then I am going to give the younger two a haircut. Write more later.
