A Long Time Coming

Goodness!

This post is a long time coming. I didn't realize it had been since May - May - that I posted. There has been so much going on! I will just get to the point.

First Day of School

So the first day of school happened in August. It was great.  Jack is in 3rd grade and now rides the bus to school. Our neighborhood only has "one" school, but it is so big it was split into a Primary and Intermediate building.  Because the Intermediate school is on the other side of the main road, there is a bus that will take him from the Primary school and bring him back. It's been great so far.

Logan is in 1st grade and is adjusting to being at school all day (9-4) which has been tough for him. But he's a trooper and will persevere. He is still in vision therapy, but we are in the home stretch for this round! Hopefully only 10 more weeks.

Spencer and I are working on letters, matching, and other Preschool activities but he is at home doing it. Maybe he will go to pre-kindergarten next year at the school.  

Duncan is in speech therapy and he is making some progress. His therapist is great, and she comes to our house which saves me a therapy trip. He isn't quite to 100 words yet but we are learning to understand some of what he is trying to say.

Logan's Birthday

Right after school started it was Logan's birthday. He turned six! We had a fun party with family and it was great to see everyone. Logan still loves babies, rocks, and sea creatures. He wants to be a Dad, a construction worker, and a diver. Big dreams!

Logan found a cherry picker at Vision Therapy - Fun!

First birthday of the school year in his class.

Logan and Antie mining for gems - he loved this present!

Eclipse!

We had planned a trip to Idaho Falls to see the eclipse as soon as we heard about it (and before the kids went to the local school) so we kept our plans, pulled them out of school, and headed up to Idaho for the big event. It. Was. Awesome. If you ever have a chance to see one you need to do it. You just need to. Trust me!  The temperature dropped 20 degrees, it was dark, and everyone was cheering and looking at the sun.

That weekend we also took the boys to Mass at Christ the King where Scott and I met...11 years ago I think?!? The kids thought that was really neat, and another eclipse traveler took our picture for me so I could be in it too.

Where it all began
We had fun there with Uncle Tom and Aunt Jetta. We took the kids to Arctic Circle for some really yummy ice cream and a playland. Something these kids don't see very often.


Now that things are settling down here with school routines being figured out, as well as work routines I am hoping to try to keep up with this better. Duncan't birthday is coming up so maybe new pictures after this weekend.

Hope you are all doing well too.

Until next time.

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back.  (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.)  It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom?  Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called.  Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage.  There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...")   It act...

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!
