Kylee got glasses

So as I said before Kylee needed glasses. We went to the eye doc to pick out her frame,. I was so proud because I had told her how the insurance worked and what price we could go up to to have the insurance cover all of it leaving us with a small co-pay. She tried on a few and seemed to like most anything, so I said OK select four and we will narrow it down from there. She looked through the four she had selected and and put back the most expensive, which by-the-way were in our price range. Any who she picked a real cute pair of light purple frames, they are so cute.

No braces yet!!

For some reason Kylee has been on this kick where she want mom and dad to spend lots of money on her, and as smart as she is she figured out we are not going to buy her useless things like toys and games. So she has gone to the I need faze. A year ago we took her to the orthodontist because she had teeth that were coming in funny, he told us she has to loose all her baby teeth before we can do anything at all so we came home to wait. So about two months ago Kylee lost her last tooth, she was so excited, not because she was done losing teeth or that the tooth fairy would visit, she was excited to get braces. I don't know why anyone would be excited to have metal in their mouth but she was. So for the last two months she has asked me nearly everyday if "did you get me an appointment with the orthodontist yet". I finally did and we went yesterday and well her teeth are starting to fix themselves. They wont fix themselves completely though so he said come back in six months and we will see where she is at. YEAH!!! Well I was happy, but Kylee was MAD I don't know why she was so mad but my gosh she was terrible on the way home. I think the thing was that she had gone and told all her friends at school that she was getting them and now she has to go tell them she is not. Another lesson she had to learn. On another note the other day she came home and said she had to be moved to the front of the classroom because she could not see the board, and her eye hurt when she would read. So off to the eye doc and well Kylee got her way on that one she needs glasses. We have not got them yet, but in about a week I will post pics of Kylee and her new glasses. Little stink pot got some money out of us anyway, wonder what she will come up with next! ;)

She Can Read

The girls brought home some papers to keep track of their reading minutes the other day. If they read so much through out the year they are entered into a drawing for a bike at the end of the year. Ok cool, but Taylor is in her third week of kindergarten and cant read. Of course they want to do this and WIN the bike so Kylee, the expert reader that she is, sat down with Taylor last night to read to her. To everyones surprise it ended up being the other way around Taylor started reading to Kylee. Kylee had taught her how to sound out the words and she was reading. I cant beleive it, ok I can I have very smart girls. Im so excited my little Taylor can read. She got up today found her Dick and Jane book and started reading, she even called grandma great a read to her over the phone for a while.

Last day of work

I never thought I would ever leave the Wesern Inn. I got to say that is the best job I ever had. When you can get up every morning looking forward to go to work you know you have a great job. A lot of it had to do with the people my boss Jackie is the best ever. The friends I made there will be forever friends they are the best. It was really hard to go, but the girls (Kylee & Tay) will benifit from it so much and they are what is important. Farwell Western Inn

First week of school

We got through it!! The first few weeks of school are over. Kylee and Taylor love it. Kylee was a little nervous about her teacher, so nervous she wanted me to change her into the other class, I told her she would be fine just go to class do what is expected of you and things will be just fine. She did just that and who would of thought, she loves her teacher. Taylor also really likes school she jumped on the bus the first day ignoring her mother (I followed the bus to the school) and has not looked back. She loves the bus the teacher the other kids everything about school Taylor loves. She sits at a table with 3 boys yep Tay and 3 boys and she could not be happier. The girl is weird like that she is very girly but would rather play with the boys, boy is Chad in for it.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Well the time has come for the girls to go back to school Kylee in 5Th and Taylor starts off in Kindergarten. They are so excited to go to school. We have done a ton of shopping and preparing (I am the organization queen when it comes to office/school supplies). OK so last year I had this wonderful job at a Motel I left after the kids went to school and got home before they did. Taylor was in pre-school and I got to take her with me to work for an hour and then take her to school.
My dad would then pick her up and take her my grandmas house until I got done at work. So this year we learned that Taylor would be in the afternoon class and we wondered how that was going to work I would not be able to leave work at noon to drive back home (10 min) to get her to school, so after a lot of idea tossing between Chad and I it hit me one day. I will quit my job and stay home, something i should have done years ago. However that posed a money problem so in order to help out with that I decided I would go to the school district and register to be a substitute lunch cook. so still I will not have to work when kids are not in school. Then next year if there is an opening for a full time cook I can get on. (rules are you have to sub for a year before getting on full time.) Problems solved. And what did Chad say to my spur of the moment idea "Wonderful!! That is a great idea" . So I gave my notice at work and I am done September 5Th and my stay at home mom adventure begins, I am so thrilled.

Figuring this out

I have just about got this figured out. My hubby is the computer guy, and I just don't know much so I have been learning.
The last month has been a busy one, with spring finally getting here(yard work), kids getting out of school and summer activities. Kylee passed 4Th grade with all E's ( the elementary equivalent of an A), and Taylor graduated Pre-School she is so excited to go to kindergarten, she is so smart. The girls also just finished a year of dance. Kylee had a competition class and her team won one of their competitions and took third and the other. This was Tays first year so she didn't do comps, but did an amazing job at the dance review. Both girls want to take some summer tumbling classes and we are still trying to work that out. I think Kylee will do dance again in the fall but when I asked Tay she said no mom I like to dance but it makes me to tired. That girl makes me laugh. I hope you all have a great summer I think we will we have a lot to do.
