11 Years Baby!

We just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary! I can't believe we have been married for 11 years. Wow...we are getting old. But you know what, he does seem like much longer. Probably because we are High School sweethearts. We have been dating off and on since I was just a Sophomore in High School. What a long road and fun journey we have had together. I look forward to the many more years together. I love you my Hubalicious Jacob!

Turkey Day!

Thanksgiving was at my house this year. Sorry no pictures, I have been slacking on that department lately. I have been so incredibly busy with my own business, that I just don't take pictures at home like I should. But I promise I will get better.

We had my family come over, and it is always fun with them. My brother even came out to his first in a while holiday with the family. It was good to see him, and his wife again.

We of course love it when my sister comes to town, and she was here with us for a few days.

We ate and ate, and had so much food left over.

I am so thankful for my wonderful family. I love all my ants and uncles, and all my cousins. I am so grateful to be in such an awesome family. Thank you all for coming once again to my house for Turkey Day!

My Sweet Aiden

Poor Aiden this year at his school, he has been every where. He first started in the Early Childhood program as a pier model. Then he got pulled from that class for needing more attention as he is young, and struggles in certain areas. So they put him in Special Kindergarten. Since the teachers did it without going through the proper school guidelines and process, he got pulled from that class, and is now enrolled in Kindergarten.

He is now in Mrs Hauver's class, with resource help, and speech help. He has been on an emotional roller coaster, but now I think he is doing so much better. He loves his new class, and he will be held back in Kindergarten, as my request. Which the teachers strongly support my opinion.

He is really young, and I don't want him to struggle with his whole school life, and end up hating school. I feel this is the best way for him to go, and hope only next year he will learn more! I love you my crazy Aiden!

Oh, and he goes by Jacob at school now...so now it gets confusing for him at home. I just can't seem to call him Jacob...even though that is his first name. He will always be my little Aiden.

Turkey Projects

I had Aiden go collect a bunch of pine combs for us so we can make some Turkeys. They turned out super cute, and the kids had a blast making them. I got some feathers at Michael's along with some googly eyes. My mom helped the kids, and me and Jacob made ours. Jacob had to go way over board...for someone who thought it was a gay idea, sure had fun. Here are our famous Turkeys we made!

Here's Jeremiah playing with some feathers.

Aiden's little Turkey!

It was a lot of fun, the kids had fun showing them off to people who came over on Thanksgiving.

A long awaited reunion.

I don't speak much of my brother on here. I try to avoid the conversation on all accounts, as it is hard for me to accept what has happened to our family. But recently I have been writing him, as it has been 2-1/2 years of any and all contact with him. I am sceptical of it, and it seems so surreal. But we are trying to build back our relationship that was lost years ago. I am anxious and nervous, but excited to see what the future holds. He is coming for dinner, and bringing his new wife. He still has never meet my youngest son. So it will be an exciting reunion. So cheers to the future.

Veterans Day Parade

Me and Amiah got to ride on the Lin's float with my mom and Kayla. My mom needed some extras to help throw candy, and help support her float. Here is Amiah on the float, with my mom and Kayla. It was so cold and windy, but we had fun throwing candy to everyone.
