The Best Birthday Ever!!

This has been the best Birthday ever! The funny thing is it started out with me upset about my Birthday. Ronn only smiled at me knowing that it was going to get better. He was right, it got a lot better! Ronn made me and the kids breakfast. At noon Ronn brought back lunch and the party started from there. Mom and Dad came and my friend Tami and her kids. I opened presents and got everything I asked for, and then some! See my Wii Fit??? Yeah!!! I was lead around the house with clues to find my Wii Fit. It was a lot of fun. Ronn really surprised me with everything today. I can't forget to mention the beautiful flowers and balloons that where delivered as well today. This evening we all went to Rascal's Fun Zone. We all had a lot of fun!! Ski Ball is Tegan's favorite!

This was a favorite by the older kids. The winner also received a lot of tickets.
Inside Rascal's is Baha Mini Bowling. Mom, Dad, Tami and her kids Joey and Hannah, and our kids, all played. Dad sprained his back playing arcade games with Tegan. That won't keep Dad down, he and Ronn had a friendly competition at bowling. Dad won even with a sprained back.

This is Tegan's first time bowling. Look at the little mini bowling balls we bowled with.
This is really all of our first time mini bowling. Tegan loved it, I would bring him again he liked it so much. He even snuck behind Tami at times and bowled for her.

Next was the go-carts in the indoor track. This was a lot of fun too.

This is Tami and Joey. Look out you might get run over!:)

Hannah was so sweet, she chose me to be her chauffeur.
Even with the kids in the go-carts the competition was on!
We even let mom drive one.:) This too should have been video taped! As far as we know no one was injured. She started out first and came in last.
The kids being CRAZY!!
This was such a great day! Ronn and everyone really made it a special day for me. Thanks you guys!!

I have this next picture on here for Mom. She kept staring at me while we ate dinner. I will be staring at my own kids to when they are 31 too. I know it's hard to think about what will your children will look like and be doing when they are in their 30's. So here is a picture Mom you can stare at on the computer.

I'm sorry this picture is so blurry. I just took it quickly with my camera so I could get it on my blog. At this late hour, this is as technical as I get. :) Here I am at 5 or 6 yrs old.

Homeschooling

It's official!!Tristan is homeschooling and loves it! Here he is at the kitchen table studying math. Grandma Sorensen is his teacher. She has her teaching degree and loves teaching him. I am blessed to have her! Thanks Mom for all you do!
Last year we home schooled at the church. We have just decided to stay at the house to make it easier on me and the kids. So we are in the process of turning the formal dining room into Tristan's new class room. We are all really excited with this transition.
Tiffany will also start homeschooling. She will finish kindergarten at the school. It is only half of the day. Her school room will be in the loft. That way they are able to focus on their studies and not what the other one is doing. We will have bible and history, maybe even science together. We are so excited that it is working out and everyone has good attitudes.

Update

Tristan came down with the flu and strep throat. We ended up at a specialist that said that we should have his tonsils removed. Due to insurance we have to wait until April. I am hoping he stays well and we can get by with not having them removed.
Since Tristan has been so sick we thought it would be best to start homeschooling him. So Tristan is an official homeschooler. He is very excited. He has wanted to be home schooled for the last 3 months.
Tiffany is finishing up Kindergarten this year and will be home schooled next year. She is feeling better. She missed a week of school due to the flu.
Tegan was sick as well but, is feeling better. He is a busy guy, lots to explore.
I am very proud of the kids! They have really been helping around the house and doing their chores. It feels like we have been through a lot with everyone so sick. It feels good to get back to normal.

Sickies

I am way behind on updating. Tristan came down with Strep Throat again on Thursday. This is his third time having it. He is feeling better though.
Tiffany started running a high temp Sunday morning. Took her to the Dr Monday they ran a strep throat test and it came back neg. So they took a flu test. Sure enough it came back positive. She had the flu shot as well earlier in the season.
I have been feeling under the weather too. Tiffany has been so sick that she likes someone right beside her at all times. So Ronn and I have been busy tending to her and staying right beside her.
We have been babysitting Courtney for mom and dad. They are at Grandpa's 90th Birthday party over the weekend. Dad has called every day to check on his dog. Not the kids or us the dog. The dog is fine. She has it good we are all sick so we are all laying around. What more could a dog ask for.:) Oh, I might mention that Courtney has a sprained knee so the dog is on med's too. We are all sickies! I bet your glad your reading this and not at our house! :)
Not to sure when I will post again. I just havn't felt like touching the computer or the house. I would like to hibernate right about now.:)

Tiffany's Cheer Night

Here Tiffany is at the high school getting ready to meet up with the cheer-leaders. She was so excited! All the girls whore their hair over to the side. It was really cute! Tiffany was not shy and did a great job. She is now wanting to join in a cheer leading group. I will probably look into it. She loves it so. Cheer leading has not ever been my thing. I played sports in school. I was in a couple of plays at school too. I think it's great that Tiffany can have something she really enjoys doing and thinking about.:)
I took other pictures, but I was sitting to far away. They came out really dark being in the gym.
It was a fun night for her. She didn't want to leave.

Cheer-Leading

This week has gone bye quickly. Tiffany had cheer-leading practice tonight. The Franklin High School had a fundraiser for the elementary kids to join them at the next home game to cheer during the basketball game. Tiffany had a blast tonight. She will be doing her cheer tomorrow night at the boys varsity game. I will try to have pictures. I took pictures tonight only the pictures turned out to dark to post.
At practice tonight they even had mascot practice for the younger kids. It was so funny. They have a part in the cheer tomorrow as well. There is 5 of them I think and they all have a different mascot uniforms they are wearing.

Tiffany Lost Another Tooth!

Tiffany lost another tooth!! She was upstairs watching t.v. Down she came with another tooth. I was quit surprised to say the least. Her two adult teeth are already poking through.
It was hard getting this picture. Tiffany did not want to hold still and Tegan was getting into the guitars. It's been crazy around here. Mostly due to Tegan, he is feeling better so he is now making up for all that time he was sick. :) He is feeling so much better. Praise God!
Tristan and Tiffany are doing well in school. They have made some great friends. I am so proud of them!
