A LOOONG OVER DUE UPDATE

So its been months since I have been on here and today, I told myself I need to get on here more often again. I actually miss blogging. So my last post was about me starting college again. Yes I am still in College going to Virginia College for Medical Assisting/ Medical Office Management and my Associates in Science. I am in my 2nd term and its going GREAT. I made the deans list last term getting all A's in my classes. So far I love it! This term is a little harder, but I assumed each term will be a little more difficult. My family has came to adjust with my schedule. My hubby had to adjust to having the girls with him at night, but they are doing pretty well. Mondays and Wednesdays I only have one class and am home in time to tuck my babies in bed. Tues and Thursday I have 2 classes and I get home pretty late, so its pretty quiet then. But thats when I study the most. I think my girls understand a little more about why I am going. They ask alot of questions when they see me dressed up in my scrubs...lol and sometimes ask me " Mom, did you do your homework?" LOL too funny! I miss them when I am at class, but I know that they are ok with their daddy at home. Also what gets me through is that I know it will pay off in the end. I am learning so much already. Another reason I love going, is that I am a stay home mom and love spending time with my kids, but college gives me adult talk time. All you stay home moms, know what I mean. =)

So let me give a quick update on our 2009 Holidays.

Well to make a long story short, I took my finals and that night we headed out to Missouri. It was a long trip, but with dual dvd players for the girls, it kept them busy and they slept most of the way. We arrived at my mom and dads, and it was so weird seeing everyone. What I mean by weird is that it was almost 2 years since we seen family in person, cause my hubby was deployed the year before. But it was GREAT to see them. We got to pick up my step daughters and they stayed with us most of the time we were there. Had a GREAT Christmas with our families. Its always so hecktic cause everyone wants to see us when were home and theres never enough time. But our girls had a good time. They got to see alittle snow while were there and even tried to sled. I was hoping for more snow, so my little ones could actually get to experience it. Santa came to my moms on Christmas morning and the girls must have been good, cause they got plenty of presents. So thats about sums it up. We miss my step daughters so much. But Jeremy calls them pretty often and we all get to talk to them. So a update on my girls now...

Christa- She is doing GREAT in school. She played soccer for the first time last fall. She absolutely loved it and wants to play again. I can't believe my first born is 7 and in second grade already. She keeps me on my toes and is very helpful around the house. She is so good with her little sisters. They are always looking up her.

Madisyn- Well she started Pre-K last fall and is doing GREAT as well. She is learning alot and just keeps getting smarter everyday. She is our giggly girl at home. She loves to dance and laugh.
She talks her age and loves to draw. She likes dressing up and acting out certain characters. She is our picky eater out of the family. She is very social and gets along with just about anyone.

Alexa- Our Baby is 3 going on 4 this year =( Its makes me sad that our last baby is no baby anymore. She is home with me during the day and we do alot of learning activities and she can now write "Al" for the beginning of her name. She likes singing and dancing at home, but you meet her in person she is shy. She is very observant of people, but loving in so many ways. She likes riding her bike, drawing smiley faces, painting, watching movies, and dressing up too.

As for my hubby, he is doing good. He made Petty Office 2nd class in 2009 and we are so very proud of him. He works at Jax and we remain at Mayport housing until they call and tell us that we have a new house over on the NAS JAX. They have been remodeling. I am proud of my hubby for all his hard work. He has rebuilt the motor in my car and fixed things on our cars and at home. Saving us lots of money. We have our ups and downs, but ALWAYS come together in the end.
Well I think this is a good start to my blogging again. I will TRY my best to blog more. Take Care =)

Back to College for me & some other updates

So I haven't wrote here in awhile and thought I should update alittle. I am currently attending Virginia College at night for my Associates in Science, Majoring in Medical Assisting. I had my first class last night. So this week begins a long journey for me. You see I went to a community college back home in MO for business right out of high school. But I became interested in 2 things. Cosmetology and Medical Assistant. So I did alot of research on both and thought Medical Assisting would be a good choice for me. So I am very excited to be going again. But thats one of many things I juggle these days. As most of you know, I have 3 daughters that keep me busy and a husband in the Navy. So I have to balance all that out. But I believe its gonna work. My hours I go to school work well with my hubbys work schedule. So when he gets home, I have dinner and homework done. And then we all eat and I kiss them all good bye and head off to school. I miss them like crazy, but I know that in the long run, its all gonna be well worth it. Plus its something I am doing for myself and my family. And also to better our future financially. I hope after I graduate to get a good paying job. One I like, but I guess you can't always assume you'll like what you do. Just one that I can do well and helps us financially.
So I guess I can do alittle update on my girls.

Christa- Well she likes 2nd Grade so far and is doing well. This is her first year playing soccer and she loves it. Shes good at it too. She loves to read and is always getting Junie B Jones books from the library and reading them to me. Homework every night is to read for 10 mins. I was shocked that already in second grade they are switching classes and teachers!! She amazes me everyday with what she learns in school and how she tries to teach her younger sisters the things she learns.

Madisyn- She started Pre-K this year and loves it! I was alittle skeptical about her teacher at first, but now I really believe she is wonderful and Maddi is learning alot. She brings home all these paintings and crafts they do. Also recently they have been sending home worksheets to do at home with them. Also one of her favorite things to do when we arrive at school is signing herself in. The teacher lays out a little notebook and all the kids line up and sign their name on it. I think its a good thing for them to do, so they learn how to write their own name. I also practice with both little ones at home on writing their names and letters. Maddi enjoys going and watching Christa play soccer. We are thinking about putting her in soccer next year. Maddi loves to dance around and be silly. She loves to sing and comes home from school singing songs she learns in school. She likes to be outside, ride her bike, and watch movies. She is very social and loves to be around people.

Alexa- Our Baby girl is home with me fulltime this year. We do alot of learning at home. She enjoys writing. She can already write a "A" for her name and we are working on the rest of her name. She is doing really well. She just turned 3 Sept 28th and I can't believe how smart she is. She is always trying to keep up with her 2 older sisters. She loves to sing and dance, do puzzles, ride her bike, and watch movies. She can be very shy around certain people, but when she is at home, shes a jabber box..lol

And Jeremy-- Well hes still working in the hydraulic shop. He became Petty Officer 2nd class this year (AM2). Other then work, he rebuilt the motor in our car, and has been working on rebuilting his S-10 for awhile. He wants to redo the whole truck. Also we are waiting to move over to the NAS JAX base. We are up for a new house over there in about 5-6 mths. So we will be closer to Jeremy's work and he won't have to drive 45 mins- 1 hr home.

Well I think that about sums up alot that has been going on. I will try to keep up on here when I can. =0)

Our Disney World Trip

Sorry guys, I haven't been on here since my hubby came home from deployment. Spending all our time with him. We got to go to Disney World for 5 days the week after my hubby got home. So here are some of the pics. We got to go to Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Blizzard Beach Water Park, and Animal Kingdom. We had a BLAST!!

Disney On Ice

Just wanted to share that I got to take my 3 girls to Disney on Ice last Saturday. We went with my friend Cody and her husband and 2 girls. We were lucky to get seat all together. The kids loved it! And I even enjoyed it. If they come back to Jacksonville again next year, we will definitely go again.
