Better Late Than Never

Well, I guess its about time that I update this thing....Not a whole lot has been going on with us lately. Natalie is getting baptised next Sunday and we're all traveling to New Boston to be with family so they can all be apart of our beautiful day. She is extreamly excited. Her birthday is Monday and my first born baby will be 8 yrs old. I can't believe it. I'm not quite sure where all the time has gone, but I have to say she's developing into a beautiful girl. We've gotten her a beautiful CTR ring that I know she'll adore. it has colorful flowers all over it. I just hope I got the right size. Nathan is enjoying Kindergarden and his grades are awesome. I'm thinkin he's quite the ladies man. He's in CTR 5 at church and he loves his teacher Sis Vansickle. Nick is completly potty trained. He's in a pull up at night, but its dry in the morning so he could probably wear PJ's but I'm not taking a chance. Geoff is well to. Work is going well and we should premote her soon so thats good. He's enjoying scouts at church and teaching his Judo class on Wed. nights. Our family also got some great news. My little sister Ashlee is PREGNANT! And not with just one baby, but 3 thats right folks she's having TRIPLETS! We are super excited as are they and I can't wait to be an aunt again. And no she wasn't on fertility its all spontaniouss Twins runs in our family, but triplets do not so this is just a pure MIRICLE! They are due on my b-day Aug 20th but Triplets never go 40 weeks so they'll probably make there entrance the first or second week of July, but I'm praying they stay as long as they can so that we have 3 healthy babies. So please keep her in your prayers. This is all thats going on in our family and we are hoping all is well.

Life just is...

Well, things here are going great. Getting so close to Thanksgiving and trying to narrow down our plans and agenda. And I'm trying to decide what in the world to do about christmas this yr..I'm starting to feel the pressure due to the TV commericals and christmas tree things I see up. I think that '09 has flown by this yr and I'm not sure what all we actually did. I mean, we've enjoyed having Geoff home this yr. The kids are enjoying school. Natalie starts after school tutoring with her teacher this next week in Math and I'm super excited that this is happening. My worst fear is that my kids will get lost in this CRAZY system they call a SCHOOL system and they get forgotten about and then they fall behind. That happened to me...so I'm so thankful that my kids have teachers that are paying attention to signs that they may be having a hard time. Allergys have hit our family hard this season. I've recently had an ear infection this past week and it has been the most miserable week of my life. Nick has a ton of drainage as well and his little nose is raw. Nat and Nate are doing well for the moment. Were just glad that the FLU hasn't hit our family yet. Geoff is doing well in work and were so grateful every day that in this economy we have a job and a house. Heavenly Father is always blessing us. He teaches a Judo class on Wed. and that keeps him busy as well as his Cub Scout calling in church that keeps his Tues nights taken. He has had a bad neck the past few days due to sleeping on a horriable pillow. But he'll survive. Luckily one of the guys he teaches on Wed. is a chiropractor so he got right in. Well, this is whats been going on with us. Not much but just wanted to keep everyone up to date on us and I also posted a few new pics. Not sure why I keep this blog because most everyone I know has FB and can keep up with Geoff and I on there and I update my pics on there more often than I do here. So I guess I need to maybe lay this blog to rest cause I'm not really sure who keeps up with it. Until next time...

Mini Van Mom

Well, today I went and looked at mini vans...I found a Kia Sedona that was fully loaded that I just luved...to bad I don't have 24,995 to drop on one just yet. It was a used "09 and it had 2495 miles on it..Can i just say SWEET! Its time to retire the trail blazer I think..It needs some work done and I think I need a change as well...I'm bout to pay my debt just about off and so I think budget wise it seems feeseable but were still doing the numbers. I just hate the fact of having 2 car payments. So. We'll have to see. Nick is still working on his potty trainning and the cars are some sort of motivation but not the icing on the cake yet. He luvs school and is doing well. Same with Nattie and Nathan. I'm trying to find something for the kids to do sports wise like through the ymca or whatever. I have a membership there anyhow. So we'll see how that search works out. I did well with my Scentsy biz this past month. I made $445 and can I say thats amazing. Savings it will go. I have 2 partys this month and if my mom gets more orders for Sept. then that will be 3. Doubt I bring home 445 again but $200 or so would be sure nice. Beggers can't be choosers I get that. I can see the blessing of this. I just need to figure out what I owe in tiths so far. I have totally slipped on paying it cause its been so long since I've paid it with my name..I put Geoff's name on our other since its his money. But...I'm gonna do it this month. Need those blessings for sure. Went to the temple on Sat and can I say it was really nice to be able to go with Geoff...Its the first time we've been together since before he deployed. So its nice to be able to sit in quite getting some clarity. Thats it for now..

Been Awhile..

Well...I know its been awhile my peeps but I'm back in action with this blog. School is once again up and runnning and I have 2 happy kiddos. Natalie's teacher Mrs. Mccamnet is a doll and Nattie has really taken to her. This is her first year teaching so I'm intrested to see how she does. Nathan got Mrs. Carsen which is who we wanted since it was Natalies Kindergarden teacher. WE LUV HER! And she seemed just as excited to have him in there. Nick starts preschool tomorrow and is he excited or what. I told him last monday that he starts school next week and for a whole week he has asked me if its next week yet. So he's excited to use MEME"s back pack that she got just for him. Oh and his lunch box too. So with kiddos in school that leaves me here at home alone...what will a free girl dooo???? Well, I signed up to volunteer at the school and maybe be a room mom for the kids classes. I also have thought about getting a job since money is tight for now and just thinkin bout money makes me what to throw my guts up sadly. Let see...In july I went to Twicon and had the most fun meeting new people who luv the "Twilight" series as much as I do. It was extreamly unorganized so as for the conferance I won't ever do it again, but had the most fun in the hotel with the girls and going to all the concerts. I saw Bobby Long, Marcus Foster, and Sam Bradley and can't forget about 100 monkeys. So I'm a bad BL, MF, and SB fan. I think I went a little fan girl. Where still workin on potty training Nick but its not going well...hummmm I think I've bout covered it. Geoff i just busy working and doesn't really have alot going on...Until next time my friends.

I know...It's Been Awhile

I know its been awhile...SCHOOL is OUT! And we are trying to find things to do to fill our days...so what does our summer consist of?? As of right now not to much..4th of July we'll be heading to Iowa to Scott and Ann's annual party they have every year. Scott and Geoff have been friends for along time and the last time we saw them was when Nate was 3 months old...so the drive should be fun. On the 20th me and the kids are heading to Huntsville to spend a week with the MEME and POPPY and can't forget Aunt ASH..they are way excited and I'm just trying to gear up for the long drive, but the visit will be well worth it I'm sure. I'm excited cause the "Garrett" family reunion is June 27th and Geoff and the kids are going to get to meet family they have never met before. People I grew up with..exciting. Good thing I've lost the extra pounds. Nate is doing good on his ADHD meds and let me tell you its saved my life. Natalie is really sad that school is out and looking forward to 2nd grade only cause of the structure as is Nathan..Geoff is doing good he's gearing up for High Adventure camp next week. He's the Varsity Coach for the scouts and he likes it. I'm doing good with a break from school. My scentsy biz is going well and I'm really thrilled with it and where its going. As for my future..I have no idea I'm taking it one day at a time. I'm constantly trying to find new books to read..I luv it. Well, I hope that you all enjoy the pics I've put up. And I luv you all and talk to you all soon.

OK peeps I know I suck at this blogging stuff...We've had minimal stuff happen in the Dennis' home since I last posted. Geoff has healed completely from his ordeal so thats good. Nathan graudated from preschool today and is officially a kindergardener. Oh me how time flies when your having just so much fun! Nich was complaining of ear pain yesterday so I took him into the dr and he has a busted ear drum so this is gonna be so much fun trying to get a liquid anitbotic down him and ear drops 3x a day. Natalie made a 100 on her flat stanley project so thanks aunt ash and uncle jared for helping her out. I got Aloe Vera plants for the end of the yr teachers gifts and they loved them. The loved decorating the pots and we potted them last night for FHE! Fun...School for me is out and waiting on grades to post and that is really frustrating. I'm glad too. Since were vacationing a lot this summer I'm once again taking the summer off. And will see what the fall brings when it gets closer. My Scentsy business is off and going and my launch party was a success. I had $431 in sales and thats great. I opened my business account last week and I feel very "official" now that I have one. I also ordered my car magnets yesterday to advertise and thats exciting. So if you need anything let me know. I luv the product. Wickless candles are amazing. Preschool ends on thursday and school lets out for natalie on the 6th and so my life will begin with all the kids home 24/7. I'll start counting down the days till the next school yr about mid july. LOL! The great thing with this summer is Geoff isn't deployed., YEA! At church they put us in this marriage and family class during sunday school and we are really enjoying it. We are learning so much and enjoy the teachers very much. We have a diverse class with people having been married from 20 yrs to 2 yrs and were bout in the middle with 8. Well, thats about it from our house and I hope that you all's house is well and know that your all loved very much.

CRAZYNESS

Well this has been a crazy week for us as well....Geoff had his Vasectamy on Thurs afternoon and life has been one big adventure since. He has handled the pain very well.. Just know that I didn't not make him do it.....It was completely his IDEA!!! And don't think for one second that I let him forget that either. LOL..He didn't go to church on Sun so our Home Teacher, Bro. Hansen, brought him some Choc. chip cookies. (his fav) That made yesterday a little better. The only thing that he'll be missing out on is JUDO!!! Lets see...I just started selling Scentsy...haven't had my big Launch party yet cause school has been nuts. I get out on the 7th and I can do my party shortly after that. Thats good cause I have a few things I need to stock up on before I do it. I just hope this is successful. I really prayed abou this and felt that this was a good decision for me. So, I guess you could say that I'm trying on a different hat. Very much out of my element. Summer's just around the corner and kids will be home for 3 whole months so its time once again to plan activities for them. At least, Geoff is home this summer and it won't seem like the time is passing much more slowly. With us being in a different season of our lives, I'm gonna take the summer off to see what happens. The kids are well...We've gone 2 days without the BINKY and Nich is doing rather well. Better than the first time I attempted it. Now on to potty training. FUN!! Natalie is doing well in school and is reading on a level 17 and her teacher adores her. So she's ahead of the class and doing well. Nate is just ready to go to Kindergarden as am I. We got a wii for christmas and he won't stop playing the thing. Batman LEGO is his favorite game right now. Well, thats about all I can think of for now. Update more later.
