I have neglected my blog! So much has been going on.
Life is busy and I know it is for everyone.
I am just trying to stay caught up with everything. School is going
pretty smooth. I finished one summer class with an A. Exciting. My other class is
still going on and I will be in it until the first of August. I am hoping to
even pass it! lol! It’s pretty awful. I can't remember if I have already said this (sorry if I did) but I found out the rest of my school is paid for.. pell grants and a scholarship I wrote an essay for (GOT IT)! So stoked! Josh is doing good, just staying busy at
work. Jake … ohhh sweet little Jake, he is doing better than ever. Growing up
so fast and it makes me sad but happy too. He is my best little friend in the
whole world. He is in this stage of not wanting to go anywhere without me or
wants to go where I am going. He used to cry having to leave g’parents houses
but now he leaves without a word, just waves “bye”. He gets funnier by the day.
His personality is awesome, really. He is outgoing and funny but has the
biggest most tender heart. Speaking of funny - this morning I was cleaning his face off from his cinnamon roll and he said "owww WOMAN" - omg it made me laugh really hard! You think he's heard his daddy call me "woman" before? LOL! His school is going really good and the kid learns
so much going two days a week. This is his first week at school wearing big boy
undies (had to brag for a minute) and he has done really good so far. He has
been wearing them at home with me for a while now doing super awesome but I was
nervous to send him out there, away from me in them! I gotta let him grow up
sometime ha! The boy loves to sing. Like sings about everything. I love hearing
him. He can be so ornery at times but as soon as we are around other people
(not immediate family) he calms right down and uses his manners. Good boy :).. His biggest thing he gets in trouble for is torturing Lola. We are constantly
saying “Jake put her down, Jake don’t lay on her, Jake leave Lola alone”. Lola
takes it, bless her sweet little heart. He always responds with “but she’s MY
dog” or “but she’s my best frand”. Cracks us up.
We had a really good holiday weekend. Went to some
cookouts and swam and shot fireworks. Wished it didn’t have to end. Here are lots of pics....
