HI!!

Hi, its been a while...I'm taking a break right now so I thought I'd visit!! Things around here have been busy.
In March Brit hurt his back and had some time off work. He had a lumbar Epidural done which really helped alot. He also learned he has whats called Facet Tropism in his back. He is feeling much better. Work is still at 40 hours a week for him, he has been talking about joining me in going back to school so he is looking into that.
Speaking of me and school its going well, I have had three A's now and three B's which I am very proud of. It's been stress full trying to get into my studies while getting ready to go to Reno. Which by the way is NEXT week!!
Julia's JrNYLC trip is in progress. I posted her official acceptance letter. We have lots to get done before July. She and I are working hard at Fundraising and she has raised $1050 to date! She has a ways to go, so if anyone would like to help her out or wants to pass along the word she'd appreciate it. I turned in her Press Release the other day so watch the paper if you live around here!! I am so proud of her!! She has a few Pre-conference assignments to get done and we need to make travel plans soon. I am so nervous about putting her on a flight...still have to work on that one!
Oh and like I mentioned I go to Reno NEXT week and still have my own FEAR of getting on a plane. I am looking forward to such an awesome experience and the time off but I am starting to think about being away from Brit and the kids that long. I have only been away as long as a weekend and that is tough!! Once I'm back I can concentrate fully on Julia's trip...well and school...see I need a few more of me!!

Jackson is doing well, he has an eye exam Friday. I am hoping his eye's haven't gotten worse but sometimes it's just obvious they must have. Julia also has a repeat eye exam and has been complaining of headaches and trouble seeing with or without glasses. Janaya is doing great and took her Kindergarten tour yesterday. She is super excited about going to the BIG school with the BIG kids!! Jordon is doing OK, he is still having some behavior issues despite a medication change so looks like we'll have to head back to the doctor.
Not much else to report...if I forgot something...well it won't surprise me...Have a great day!

Happy Easter To Everyone!!

On Maunday Thursday Brit and I got to join our daughter Julia in her First Communion. This was a very special event for her and a very POWERFULL service. I feel blessed and am so happy for her to experience this sacred meal.

We spent our Easter here in Madison with my family. It was a great time. We all helped cook and after lunch we had an easter egg hunt for the kids!

I also found out I will be an Auntie again....CONGRATS Kenny & Jill!!

Randoms...

I can't believe we are in April already...now if we could just get the Spring weather??! For the most part our house is feeling better, Janaya went to the doctor last week and got an antibiotic and is doing alot better. Brit is starting a head cold now. Brit also saw the back doctor again today and since things are going well and he is back to work fully we won't see him again unless he starts to feel pain again.

Julia is working hard on her fund raising for the JrNYLC, she has alot to do yet but has some good ideas. She is doing the Dakota STEP tests in school right now (National testing for grades 3-5). She also has her First Communion this week on Maunday Thursday.

Jordon is doing well in school, he also is doing the Dakota STEP tests. He is enjoying playing sports with boys at school and at home wants to as well. He is having some trouble with his behaviors with some self-injurious and destructive actions. I called the doctor today and we are going to see him on Thurs thanks to a cancellation.

Jackson is meeting new friends all the time and loves to PLAY...PLAY...PLAY!! He loves all sports and the Wii.

Janaya is going to be done with Pre-school in about a month! Her friend from last year and all of this year just moved away and she has been real upset about it. They were like 2 peas in a pod and she is lost with out her. It didn't help having Natylie move back to Sioux Falls either, hopefully she meets another "best" friend in Kindergarten. She has been gaining weight and has been having some high blood pressures that have been monitored and now sent to the doctor so we'll see what she has to say about that.

I am doing well I started classes on April 5th so I am officially a college student...YAY!!
