Happy Halloween

Today is so beautiful out. It's like a summer day compared to what it's been. On Thursday the kids and I took a ride to pick up my neice so she can spend a few days with us. It's really nice having her here and the kids have so much fun. A friend of mine had told me that they are having a trick or traet a a food store called Piggly Wiggly in the next town today. So I will be taking the kids there. Tomorrow Amber has a B-day party to go to and she has to wear her costume. Then after the B-day party she is having a Halloween Bash up at her school. So we will be going there as well. It's really cute for the kids. I like the flashlight candy hunt out on the playground. We had so much fun doing it last year.

I think for Sunday we are just gonna hang around the house. It has been a long two weeks. So we need some down time. I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

So This Brings Me To Today

Amber started religon classes and goes every Monday. She always asks when she has to go cause she just loves it. We re waiting for Daisy's to start agian this year..

Korey had a stomach bug so he has not been feeling to hot lately. I kept him home from school today just to relax. But Korey is back to himself. I know this cause now he is getting into trouble..LOL

Amber is at school. I had asked Amber's freinds mom to pick her up yeasterday so I didn't have to take Korey out. Thanks Jenivive!!



I started working at a bar in the summer cleaning in the early mornings. I have a friend that works with the other lady who cleans the bar and she had mentioned that I was looking for something like that so she gave her my name and before I knew it I was hired. It's not a bad job and pays really well. I Started off only working 4 days a week but kept telling the other lady Ann that I would take her days if she wanted me to. So about a month ago she had called and said I could have her days. So now I am working 7 days a week there. To me it's the perfect job cause i am home when the kids go to bed and I am home when they get up in the morning. But I am tired alot cause i usualyy go in for 4am so I can be done by 6:30am. It only takes me about 2 hours to clean it. But I try to take my naps during the day with Korey. And the best part is I am still able to be a stay at home mom and do things with the kids. If I need a break All I have to do is call Ann and she will cover me.. Thanks Kami!!

Now we are all caught up

This past week a friend and I had gone to see New Kids On the Block at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee. I had so much fun. We needed a mommies night out. They were so great!! Thanks Mindy!

This past weekend our towns do Trick or Treating. I know.. Halloween isn't until the 31st. But for some reason they all have special days and times. So on Saturday the kids and I went to Kim's house and did a meet and treat in her town. Meet and treat is where you go into the stores on the main road for candy. Before that I had gone to see my nephew Jared play some Football. He as great. I can see him being a professional quarterback. SO in any case we did the meet and treat and the kids had fun. They got alot of candy.. Yummy!! After that was over we then went to see my niece Brianna play Volleyball. She did an awesome job. Keep up the great work Nan.. Then we went back to Kim's house and relaxed a little bit before heading out to Greenfield where they had there neighborhood trick or treat. It was the area where we lived. Amber didn't remember the house though. So we did that for a couple of hours. Then we headed back to my sisters where I packed the kids up and came home. I was so tired driving home and the kids passed out in a matter of 5 min. So the ride home was quiet.

Then on Sunday they had trick or treating in our town from 1-4pm so my friend Mindy came over with her two boys and we went around here. Then in her town which is Beaver Dam they had Trick or Treating from 4-6pm.. so of course when we were done here we had gone there. But after we where done in Horicon I figured I would take the kids home to relax a bit before heading out again and Korey feel asleep on the couch. So just Amber and i went into Beaver Dam. This weekend was alot of fun for all of us. You should see the amount of candy that we have. Can't wait for the kids to go to bed at night!!! :)

Amber is doing great in school and having so much fun. This year she has homework and spelling tests. She is doing such a wionderful job with her spelling words. We are so proud of her. Just yesterday she went to a pumpkin farm with her class.. It was really cold and windy but she had alot of fun. Korey is doing great in school and wants to go everyday. He is doing speech two times a week again this year and is really improving. So he is pretty much busy everyday except Friday's. When he gets out of school he tells me everything that he has done.

September

Well it's that time again.. School.. And this year Korey is going. So Amber is now in First grade. WOW!! We just can't believe it. She has a male teacher this year but she seems to love it. She is so much more independent to.
Korey is starting a preschool which is Tuesday and Thursdays. He is so excited. He just can't wait.

Amber's 6th Birthday

Yes.. that's right our little girl is growing up. We cant believe that she is 6 already. Time just flies. For Amber's birthday we we had Aunt Kimmy, Uncle Henry, Alex, Brianna and Jared come over for a BBQ. The kids got to play in the water and play on the slip and slide while the adults just sat back and relaxed. Then on that Sunday Mimi and Papa came over for another BBQ. So this lucky little girl had two birthday cakes. Amber loved all of her presents. And of course she received alot of Hannah Montana gifts. She was so excited. Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!

August

On August 8Th we headed on a plane to New York. We wanted to visit our family. We had so much fun. The last time we had gone Korey was alot smaller . He was smiling ear to ear. The whole week prior to the trip all I kept hearing was when are we going on the plane. When we arrived into NY my dad's good friend John had picked us up and drove us to my Aunt's house in Islip. So we got in pretty late. The kids were so exhausted as well as Steve and I.. So during our week in New York we got to see all of our family. We had spent sometime with Aunt Mary ,Aunt Shari, and Gianna. Amber and Gianna had so much fun playing with each other. So that Sunday we had gone to the Long Island Game Farm. The kids loved everything about it. During the week we got to see Grandma Ann and Grandpa Lew. The kids had a blast with them. We had gone to there condo on the beach and spent time there. The kids loved playing in the sand and going in the ocean water. After the beach we got dressed and headed to Uncle Dave's and Aunt Michelle's to visit. We haven't seen them in a really long time. It was nice to have all the cousins meet. I can't believe how much the boys have grown. We had alot of fun with them. Some days we just stayed home and relaxed. Another day we took the kids to see there great Grandma in the Bronx. It was really nice to see her. After the visit with Great Grandma we had taken the kids to the Bronx Zoo. Boy was it packed. I have never seen it like that. But we made the best of it and had a blast. After the zoo we had gone out to eat for Italian. Yum!!! I was waiting to have that. The Italian food in Wisconsin can not compare to NY. I had gotten in touch with my friend Danny from High School and he had come over to see us. It was great to see him. The last time I saw him was a year ago and before that it had to be at least 8 years. So it's really nice that we keep in touch. The last weekend that we had in NY was our Aunt Shari's b-day. So on Sat we had a BBQ with all the great NY food and with all of our friends. It was nice to be able to just hang and talk to everyone and catch up. The last full day which was Sunday before we left My Aunt Mary and I had taken Amber and Gianna to two more beaches. It was so much fun.. Also during the week we had rented a car so we can go show Amber and Korey where there Mommy and Daddy lived and show them all the different places. I love going to New York.. But I love living here in Wisconsin. Thanks for such a wonderful time everyone!! We miss you so much.

Let's See Where Do I Begin **June & July**

Well since May the kids and I kept busy. The kids and I would go to the Horicon pool at least once a week and sometimes more. They had alot of fun. Korey would of course wander off and I would have to go get him. Amber would always meet up with her friends and go swimming with them. And of course me I really didn't like to get my hair wet but Korey would come up to be and purposely splash water at my head and say " I got your hair wet" and would laugh. Everyday the kids would be asking if we can go to the pool. Well actually they would say the "Horicon Pool" So needless to say next summer I will be buying a season pass. It's well worth it.
Also during the summer I had enrolled the kids in swimming lessons and they both did really great. They loved learning how to swim and the the best part that I liked was that Amber and Korey were both in the same class. They did at one point have the kids try jumping off the diving boards and of course Korey did and Amber wouldn't. Mama was really scared watching the whole thing. Then on the last day of swimming classes they had the kids go down the water slides on the instructors laps.. Amber said no and guess who went.. yup.. Korey again.. I think Amber's problem with the slide was she wanted to go down the slide one day and when she got to the bottom of the pool she went into the water but couldn't get up because of the flow of the water.. So she freaked out. But maybe next summer she will try again.
Other then going swimming and having alot of fun at the pool we pretty much kept busy all summer.

It's been a long time..

I know it has been a while since I last posted on my blog.. Im gonna try to get caught up and keep up with adding new pics and what we have been doing. So here I go.. :)
