So Much Has Changed!!

Wow! Yes, we are still here. Just took a very, very long vacation. I am looking back at my posts and realize, just how long its been. Sooooo..... I am just gonna start over. As of today, Michael's business is thriving, and we are blessed for that. We currently have 2 employees, plus him and myself. He is coaching football for the 3rd and 4th grade team, and he does love this. Last September, we got our second Harley, and Ultra Classic. And boy we do love this luxury ride in the wind. In February of this year, we go both bike custom painted. I will try to post pictures later of them. They are sweet, thanks to the artist, Michael's cousin, Paul.
In the midst of our vacation, I have become an entrepreneur, and opened my own little gift shop. I still do all the accounting and bookwork for the electrical business, just now it is out of the house kinda work, and along side of that, I have my store. It is so much fun to find new things to fill the shelves. I still stay busy with the kids and the house, but it is fulfilling to be "back at work".
Madison is now in Jr High school. She is playing volleyball with the Centralia Panther team at school. She is still not a grace full girl, but she is trying her best, and I see her striving to improve, which is important. Her grades are still good, and she seems to really like school. She is into hanging out with her friends more and more, and I guess these are all signs, that my little girl is growing into a beautiful young lady. She will be a teenager in 5 short months.
Dylan is still into every sport available to him. He is currently playing soccer, and is probably one of the fastest ones on the team. He loves this sport probably almost the best of all sports and really puts effort into being better. He is still playing the saxophone, and impresses us with his talent. He is currently in the 6th grade, and is learning what it takes to make it through jr high and high school. It is taking a little more effort than he likes to put into it, but with time, we will get through it.
Sydnie, is now in the 2nd grade. She has recently become a member of the Little Steps competitive cheer leading team. They start competition in November and to this point she loves this challenge. She is currently working on perfecting her back hand spring on her own. She is the biggest prissy little tom boy you will ever meet. Never a challenge she won't face. And she is always looking for her best dress to wear to the farm to jump on the hay bales. She too is currently playing soccer, and has had a great start to her season.
That brings me to Xavier! Omg! Omg! This vibrant little 3 year old is full of love and compassion and is still ornery as you'll get out. He started full time day care last spring, and this fall goes to daycare 4 days a week, and preschool 4 half days a week. He loves to ride to school on the big school bus. We are very fortunate to have the preschool facility in our school district. He is finally starting to grow and actually improved his over all size from under 10 percent at his 2 year check up to just around 30 percent at his 3 year check up. He loves to hang with daddy, and help to feed the cows, ride the 4 wheeler or motorcycle, tractor, skid loader, or anything else. He is truly a little farm boy.
So that is where we stand today. It is still a busy wonderful life, that I wouldn't change for the world, even though there are days I wonder. Who Doesn't??? Until we meet again.....................
