Blueberry Picking!

Making a cobbler!

Picking blueberries...

Update

This post will be shorter than my last because I posted it and somehow it didn't post and I lost it! A lot of rambling to come: lol! 

Everything is going good here! 

I'm a SAHM now! I resigned from teaching for now, and will homeschool the boys until they get in kinder. 

Ryder just turned 2 in May. He is growing like a weed! He repeats literally everything we say. He's talking so much, says everything!! He's wearing pretty much the same size shoe as Rickar!

Rickar will be 4 in November. He NEVER stops talking!! Lol! Always about riding sheep, working cows, roping, etc..you get the point! Ha!! 

RB is doing okay...pain is what worries me. I am taking better care of him now with me being at home more. 

We went to pick blueberries today. I made another fresh blueberry cobbler! There isn't ANY left! Tomorrow I'm going to make a fresh peach cobbler!!! 

Well goodnight for now. We have doctors appts tomorrow. Will update later! 

Back to Dallas

Today RB is traveling back to Dallas to get my car and our luggage. Prayers for a safe trip with all the ice still. Ricky is driving him. 

I have visitors coming to my classroom today. They evaluating our whole school. Wish me luck!

The boys are doing much better now that we've adjusted to being home, and almost caught up on our sleep. Although, my sleep schedule lately has been 12-5:00. :(

Ryder went to the ENT yesterday, his daddy had to take him. Dr. Lower cleaned out his tube. He was such a big boy about it, and good as always. 

My goal today is to get Christmas Cards ordered!! And find an Elf on the Shelf!! I can't seem to find one. 

My two sleeping boys last night..

Popcorn and movie....

I just love them!!!

Getting Home

We made it home last night (Saturday night) at 9pm!!! I was so happy to see my boys!😊😂

My dad, mom, and the boys picked us up at Tyler, Tx. After all flights to Dallas continued to cancel, we took matters in our own hands! We had to! They gave us no choice. So long story, short... We flew to Austin, TX then rented a car and drove to Tyler, TX. MSP airport tried sending us to NYC, Atlanta, GA, and some other place! Crazy.

Anyway, I'm so so so so happy to be home with Rickar and Ryder. It broke my heart being away. I don't see how parents leave their kids all the time!!!

Now we're trying to get back on routines and get back to rules, etc. lol. They were exhausted yesterday and today! 

I love them and so glad God gave them to me! Some pics of our night after meeting them at Tyler.....

Ready to go Back Home

Picture on the day we left. Wednesday.

Brrr

Trip to Minnesota

Well, we left for Mayo on Wednesday. We drove to Dallas, then flew to Minneapolis, then to Rochester. Flying was delayed to Minneapolis because there was a bad winter storm hit. It wasn't too bad. We got to a Rochester hotel late, but we got enough sleep. Our 7 am appointment went well, neuro didn't give any news away. They moved up our neurosurgeon appointment. We got there early. He went over everything with RB and I. Showed us pictures of everything. He recommended no surgery at this time. Said if any symptoms start to progress, to call back to be evaluated. We we're letdown. We were hoping for a fix. 

Yesterday, was our flight back to Dallas. We made it to Minneapolis, and they canceled all flights to Dallas because they had an once storm. We went to the Mall of America. It's so big, we only went to a couple stores. We're both really heartbroken. We miss our boys so badly. They miss us. Rickar was so nervous and sad when we facetimed. Ryder reached out for us saying/meaning want. It breaks my heart. They've already canceled some this morning to Dallas. I'm praying hard we get to Dallas early today where we can drive home early! 

The temp here has been 10 to -25 the whole time we've been here. 

It's cold!! ❄️💨 Brrrrr
