It has been over a year since the last post or blog....does that put me in the running for "Worst Blogger Ever"? Things have gotten a lil more crazier (betcha did not think that was possible did ya?)! On June 1st, 2012 we welcomed baby number 3 to the mix. Declan Wayne Carver graced us with his cute round face and bald head! He is our first boy. And after having two girls, i was not sure i was ready for a boy! Would not change it for the world! His sisters absolutely love him, and would do anything for him...They say that now. Lets see what happens when he starts getting into their stuff! He is such a good baby, really only fusses when he needs something, and is an awesome sleeper. He started sleeping through the night at about two weeks old. O and by sleeping through the night...12 hrs at a time. I know what you are thinking....i should not let him sleep that long in between feedings...ya ya ya...however, as my mom told me..."The first one is always by the book, the second one is some what by the book and the third one....the hell with the book." Declan has been a lil different than his sisters in a few ways....my pregnancy with him was so much easier, no complications during the pregnancy or during delivery...and he weighed LESS than his sisters. I'm stressing the word LESS because the sono screens had him measuring well over 10.5 pounds....When i heard that at my last one at 38 weeks....i shed a few tears...I was scared...but when he was born he was not even 8 pounds! I was impressed!
Adyson 8 almost 9 and is in Third grade now( not sure how that happened) and is doing awesome! She has her teacher stumped on ways to keep her engaged in the class and the class work. She is testing at 5th and 6 grade levels! She is in the gifted program at school, and sometimes find that lacking in challenge. She clearly got her smarts from her dad! She is also a soccer player, a softball player, a basketball player and lets not forget horseback rider! She does everything 100% and does not give up till she gets it! She wants to try everything at least once, and she would do EVERYTHING at the same time if we let her. She is a very busy lil girl and loves it. I'm just glad everything has its own "season" for now. Although she is coming into the age that she is going to have to start choosing what she wants to focus on.
Kailyn is 5 almost 6 and is in Kindergarten(again...not sure how that happened). She is doing amazing! I have to admit i was a lil worried about how she would do in school. She was always my quiet one. She kept to her self and was really shy. However, i think going to school was the best thing that I could have done for her. Some say she did not talk. She talked, you just had to know how to understand her. She learned sign language at a very young age and that's how she communicated. She could verbalize and tell you what she wanted or ask you a question, she just choose not to. Once she got to school she picked up that not everyone knew what she was saying with her signing, so she started to verbalize more. And now there are some days you can not her to stop talking! Kailyn is playing soccer and horseback riding as well! She loves them both, although i think if you asked her, she would tell you horseback riding is her favorite! She is still exploring what she wants to try out for life and hasn't gotten as busy as her sister, but i feel its only a matter of time before she does!
Now i guess its Patrick's turn. Patrick is still working for Nestle and loves it. He spent sometime traveling and working on a new computer system and getting plants ready for the transition to the new system...that was fun. In August the decision was made that he would move to Lincoln Nebraska to continue working for Nestle in the Crete Nebraska plant. This was not an easy decision to make, as it would mean the babies and I would stay here in Missouri because the girls had started school. The timing of this move was not planned very well, but we fought through it and now have things back on track. The plan right now is for the kids and I to join him in Nebraska close to the end of summer but before they go back to school. Patrick is doing a great job and is working on making his next move in the company. He comes home on Friday evenings to see us but once Sunday evening comes around, its not easy saying good bye!
So that leaves me....As of now, i am staying at home with Declan during the day while the girls are at school. It has been fun and bumpy all in the same stride. I'm not sure who misses who more come 1600! He knows when the girls get off the bus and is all smiles the second they walk through the door! Every day the first thing that MUST happen is lovins! They all give hugs and kisses and just sit there and talk for a few minutes! It has become my favorite part of the day! I have also been doing some work to keep my EMT licenses current. I have not been able to find a full time job, doing what I would love to do, because "I do not have the experience they are looking for." It makes me sad, but I am not giving up. There is a reason i have not found yet and I have to keep remembering that. I am still doing seasonal EMT work at Schlitterbahn Water park in KCK and I LOVE it there! The people are awesome to work with, and its something different everyday. Here in a few short months I will go back to work there to get stuff underway for the 2013 season! It is kind of hard to believe that this will be my third season.
Well i think that is about it. I know its been a long one, but a lot has happened over the year, and to think you got the cliff notes version, Its time to hit the sack...0500 is going to come VERY early!
