I promise to get better at blogging!

Ok-so its been 2 years since I have blogged. Oops! Can I blame it on the fact that 2 kids, a husband, work, a dog, 2 cats, and a house have been keeping me way too busy? :)

Sam is now in Kindergarten and is loving it. It is a LONG day (7:45am-3pm) but I think he really enjoys it. I am helping out every other Thursday afternoons and so far he really likes having me there. I know that soon will pass, so I'll take it when I can get it! He is starting to read and doing a really great job at it! Its hard to believe he'll be 6 in April!

Ella is in daycare about 17 hours a week while I work. She really likes it and has some good friends there. One of her good friends is named Emma and they are adorable together! They give each other hugs most mornings when Ella gets there :) Next year Ella will start a pre-school program (the same one Sam went to) called Bright Beginnings, it is 3 days per week in the mornings. Sam really loved it and Ella is already excited to go. She turned 4 in November.

Brent is as busy as ever with school. This year he is just teaching at the high school. He teaches wind ensemble, concert band, jazz 1, jazz 2, choir, and a productions tech class. He just got back from all state and a convention in Yakima and is leaving again soon for the Idaho Jazz Festival.

I am still working from home doing bookkeeping. Its about 25 hours a week and a good mix of working a little and being home with the kids.

We are always working aroudn the house it seems....last year Brent built a fence around the backyard-this year we are tearing down the rest of the old fence so we will have a totally new fence. We are also replacing the deck, getting a new garage door (we have to, our old one broke), and hopefully putting down laminate flooring in my office and our bedroom. So many projects, so little time (and money)!

I'll try and remember how to post some pictures in my next post!
