YIKES! It's been a while!!

Hi There,
I thought that it was about time that I get an update on here. All of us are doing fine and have been very busy.
Ken and Evan have one more month of hockey and then we have a break before he starts baseball. We may even get to sleep in a little bit on Saturdays! YEAH!!! Evan is doing great with hockey and he has been taking skating lessons to also help him improve his skating as well as balance. He loves to be out on the ice. He doing great in school and all of us love his teacher this year. She is great at keeping us informed of what is going on and how well he is doing. He loves math and reading. Evan has also had 6 teeth pulled to help give his teeth some room and get ready for braces in a couple of years. The tooth fairy is going to go broke if this keeps up!
I have been really busy with daycare. I started using a new program online for the food program that also lets me do accounting and keep my menus. It is fun to learn all that the program can do and some days has been testing my patience. It has cut down tremendously on the paperwork that I have to do. I can push a button and it sends in my forms for me. I had a 4 month old start in February and he is fitting in nicely with the other kids here. We took our furniture out of the living room and made it our preschool which really helps me keep track of everybody. It is also easier for spraying those germs away when the area isn't so large.
We have had a few of the bugs that have been going on in the winter but not too bad. We are good at hand washing and not sharing our germs.
We had a great Christmas. My parents were here and that was a lot of fun. The kids were just amazed at all the stuff that Santa brought. It is always fun to see the look on their faces when they open their gifts. We also had Christmas with Ken's family at our house and that is always fun as well.
The twins are doing great and love the fact that they can write their own names. Abbie signs everything she can. They both got Mavericks outfits and they love to go to the hockey games on cheer on our MAVS! We are hoping to see them reach the final 5 this year and we will know after this week-end. We took the kids to Kindergarten Round-up on Thursday and it sounds like they will be heading to school this year. We were thinking of holding them back so they weren't the youngest in the class but they will take the assessment test and if all goes well, which I am sure that it will, they will head to school. They were ready to go this AM. Mom is not ready. I was pretty sure that we weren't going to send them. Their birthday is August 31, the day before the cut off.
Owen is growing so fast and is so far from our little baby. He will be 3 next month! He decided on our last trip home form Ia that he was going to pee in the potty and has been now for almost 2 weeks. YEAH!!! He loves to sing his ABC's and anything else he hears. He also loves the snow and being outside.
They decided to close Eagle Ridge, where my Grandma was and she is in Keystone, Ia at a care center. It is a small place and is very nice. She likes to be out of her room and has been going to lots of activities. He dementia is bad but she still laughs alot and loves to see the kids. She also remembers that Stacy has a boyfriend!
I think that is all for now. I will get some photos on here soon.
Take care and thanks for stopping in!
