UPDATE!

Well it has been forever since I updated my blog! Alot has happened in the last 7 months since we left AZ. I think I can say we are finally settled. I am done with my first semester of nursing school and 3 more semesters to go! It has been flying by! Corey is enjoying his job and the opportunities it has brought! The kids are doing well and growing too fast! Todd and Tessa are loving school and learning so much! Todd is attending the same elementary school as I did when I was young so that is special. I am still without a camera at the moment so will try to bum pictures off of my family so I can keep you all updated! LOL!

WOOHOO for the ZOO!

A few weeks ago Todd and Tessa both had Zoo fieldtrips for school. Of course they were on different days so we went to the zoo twice in one week! The first day I took Tessa, Zoey and Zack. Then the next day Corey and I took Todd, and left the others with a sitter. I think the best part was riding the bus with Todd's class! LOL!

This was Todd's group. They were called the monkey group and they were so good! Corey and I did not even lose one of them! ;) They are enjoying their snow cones we got them. The girl on the right is Todd's latest crush! ;)

Combined Birthday FUN!

We had a combined birthday party for Zack, Tessa and my nephew Grant's birthdays. It was so fun to hang out and just visit and let the kids play. I think we should get together monthly for all the birthdays...Thanks to all that came!

Tessa turned 5

Zack turned 1

Zoey playing at the park. We went over to a park nearby and played kickball.

My Tessa is 5!

Miss Tessa turned 5 a few days ago and here is a few picks over the years....She is such a good girl! I know that one day her strongwilled little personality will help her in her life. Tessa you are teaching me so much as a mom..We love you!!

One Already?

I can't believe my little man turned one yesterday! He has been such a great baby and a blessing to our little family. Here is a little flashback of the day he was born.

A few hours old.

Try to ignore how great I look in the background. :)

First introductions and Corey had to sport the Romo jersey.

Tessa and Zack.

Zoey and Zack.

I cannot believe how much the kids have grown and changed in one year!

And of course most of you know that Corey refers to Zack as Tony. Here is a "jersey" the guys at Corey's work made for Zack. And in the picture above Corey wore his to the delivery, I think he was really hoping I would go for the name Tony Romo Newbern. He has only called him Zack a few times in the last year and I think it was by accident, and he has the kids calling him Tony.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACK!!! aka Tony Romo :)

Sledding!

We went sledding the Saturday after Xmas, it was one of the kids xmas presents. They were SO excited to go! Joey and Kara went with us and we had a great time!

Student of the Month

Todd was Student of the Month for December, and this morning they had a special breakfast for those kids and an award presentation. He was really excited and was up at 6:15 getting ready! Here he is with his teacher and then with his principal.
