It's been along time and its now 2011.

Wow, time sure has flown by, i thought that i had started off 2010 doing fairly well with my blogging. But then it went down hill from there. So let me try and catch you up on what has went on in the last year, before i get into all the things that have happened so far in 2011.
So i guess the most important thing happened to us in March after James birthday.Was that. HE GOT A JOB:) It was at first a job through a temp agency called Manpower for a factory 3rd shift press operator for Triangle Rubber Plastics division. He really struggled with 3rd shift ,but was a real trooper and kept going on. You would not think that it would be a big adjustment but it was for our family. He had never worked on third or ran a press. He had more problems with the lateness of it then working a press.But then things did improve Triangle hired him on as one of there own so no more Manpower. That happened in May and then in July he got to go on first shift still running a press. But that only lasted for a couple weeks then he was offered a job in there shipping department(1st shift). He is the Warehouse Coordinator and he really enjoys it. That is his thing, so he felt at home in that area and it is very hard for us to believe that in March it will be a year since he started at Triangle. But actual hire in and Anniversary for him is May because of the whole temp agency. But it has really flown by.
So lets see we may as well stick with James and see what else may have been going on with him this last year. He pretty much worked. But he did go and coach Landon's Little League team the Astro's. He enjoys doing that. Plus him and Landon did a lot of fishing during the summer while we were up at the lake. James actually got to play a little ball himself with another Church league, unfortunately because of his job and where they moved the league too for our church he was not able to play with them this year.
Let's see what have i been doing this past year? I have been doing the mom and wife thing and crossing the kiddo's, This is my third year crossing, I do enjoy it. I enjoy the kids i don't enjoy the mornings:) Nothing seems to really come to mind. Me and the kids did a lot of staying out at the lake with my grandparents this past year. I guess my biggest thing is my friend taught me how to knit at the end of October and i really love it. I wish i could say that is why my blogging has fallen behind, but sadly no. It was just because of my forgetful brain and laziness.
I have also made another new friend this year. She is a wonderful women, who i think is very strong and courageous. I am glad that i have gotten to know her and that we are friends:)
How could i forget that i am now helping to teach a group of 1st and 2nd graders on Wednesday nights at church. They are called the Loving Limes. Landon of course is in that group.It is different teaching the younger ones then the older, some good, some maybe not so good differences:)But other then that I really have not had a lot happen with myself.
Ariel she is in 5th grade. She is now in the Preteens at church. She had a blast had Church camp last year and is enjoying her workshops on Wednesday nights and her Sunday school classes also. She decided to quiz again this year and has been doing that which is still going on as i am typing this. But last year Ariel played Minor softball and she decided to join Orchestra this summer and played the violin. She did really well with it but then after school started she decided to give it up, But she did get picked to be in the Orff Ensemble at school. So she still does something musical. She was also in running Club and has been participating in that since they started it at Parkside when she was in 3rd grade. They have a fall and a spring one so that should be starting up pretty soon. Other then that she has just been helpful around the house and enjoys having her friends over.
Landon is now in 1st grade, and is enjoying it a lot. He finished his Kindergarten year successfully and is now in the 1st grade. During the summer he played in the Rookie League and enjoyed doing that. He also did wrestling camp for the second year and enjoyed himself. He was going for first place this year, but ended up in 3rd. But he still has never been pinned, the match that he lost was only by 1 point against his friend so it was a very stressful match. I said it will be great when they can all be on the same team and not wrestle against each other.Of course he also bowls on Saturdays and he also is playing Upwards basketball for his 2nd year. He enjoys every sport he does, we will just have to wait and see which he decides to pursue when he gets older.
Zane well he is just as goofy as ever and keeps me very entertained. He enjoys going over to Grandma W. and Grandma and Grandpa H. house's while i cross the kids in the morning. Then me and him get to hang out the rest of the day. He also enjoys going to MOPS with me and has a great time. He will actually get to play ball this year so that will be something to look forward too. He loves going to Church and has a great time in The Kids Town playing with his friends and learning about God. He would tell you that he loves 1,2,3, Kisses, Eskimo kisses and Cheeky kisses. Those are the types of kisses he gives to me and James tries to steal from him.lol He also prays and tells God every night that he loves those kinds of kisses too. Like i said he keeps us well entertained.
I believe that now you are all caught up with what has happened in 2010. Oh wait, i am wrong. Me and James got to go up to Holland Michigan for our Anniversary in Sept. for the night. It was really great to just get away for awhile and do stuff together for ourselves and not for the kids. Now i think i can move on with 2011. So heres to hoping i blog better in 2011 then in 2010:)
