A Fessler Update

Well I haven't updated for a while, and nothing real big has been going on, so I'll just let everyone know what's going on with us.

Jaxon: He has been doing so good at his new school! His teacher told me yesterday, that he is so smart! He's one of the top in the class. This new schedule has him so tired, but he loves it! I think Grandma loves it too. He is still in dance and loving it. He dances on Wednesday's, he is in a girls class, and is doing awesome! He has a few girlfriends in there. Then after his dance class he is in tumbling. He is getting closer and closer to a backhand spring! He is also going to start doing the boys class again, which is on Thursday's. He is a busy boy!

Alek: He loves going to preschool. And I love when he goes, then I get 2 hours of no fighting (him and Joye fight pretty much all day). He is such a good helper around the house. He hardly ever complains when I ask him to help with something. He is also in the tumbling class with Jaxon on Wednesday's. He loves it and is so good. He's so flexible, it's easy for him. He catches on really fast. His newest accomplishment is his headstand. He practiced and practiced, and finally got it. He can balance for quite awhile now. He is also pretty close to his backhand spring.

Joye: She is getting too big! She is a good helper when she wants to be. We are trying to potty train her, with not much luck. She is very stubborn, when it's her idea to go on the potty, she does great, but if we want her to go, no such luck. Hopefully she'll decide soon that it's her idea, and go all the time. I'm so sick of diapers!!!! Any potty training ideas are welcome. She still loves books, and she is becoming such a little mother. She loves taking care of her dolls, and bossing the boys around. When she is talking about the boys she either says, "My boys" or "My brothers" I think it's so cute when she asks where her boys are.

Me and Braden: Pretty much the same old. Braden still works at Logan Coach, and is working on a new house as a side job. He is so excited about hunting this year! Braden has found a new friend, and now I never see him. His name is James and he is a cowboy, for all intents and purposes. He has started teaching Braden how to train and shoe. Braden gets to go riding and roping. He is in seventh heaven! I am still working at the studio, and staying home with the kids. As soon as this side job is over, we are going to start back up again on our basement, and other things around the house to try to get ready to sell!

I guess I should update you about our horse situation. We finally got rid of Tipsy, the crazy horse that landed on Braden. Braden's friend James, found someone who was willing to trade a horse for her. Braden took Tipsy down to Woods Cross Wednesday. Our new horse is a 19 year old pregnant quarter horse. Braden says she is a really good horse, she should be really great for the kids to ride. He even says she's a red head! I haven't seen her yet. We can keep the colt if we want it, and the best part is; if we do keep it, James will help train it! I think we got the better end of this deal!

Well that's about it for around here. Hopefully something exciting will happen soon and a good post will show up here.

Another Year...

Well it's our 3 year anniversary today. I can't believe that it has been 3 years, they have flew by. We're not doing anything too exciting tonight. Just dinner and a movie. We'll be together so that's all that matters.

I love you Braden, and all that you do for me and the kids. You are a great father and husband. We couldn't ask for anything better!

Jaxon's 2nd First Day of School

You read right. These pictures are of Jaxon's 2nd first day of school. We have been debating about moving up to Garland for a while now. When we sent Jaxon to school here, we had our minds made up. We didn't really like Jaxon's teacher. She was kind of a weirdo, and wasn't too worried about school work, or reading. Then on the 3rd day of school I went to pick Jaxon up and I couldn't find him. I asked his teacher where he was and she acted like she didn't even know who he was. After thinking for a minute about who he was, she said, "Maybe he just went out another door." She wasn't worried, and didn't really help me look for him. So we talked to Grandma, and she made all the arrangements for Jaxon to move to her school. He was so excited. He is in All Day Kindergarten, and in a group of kids that are already starting to read. He is so excited to start reading, he always wants to read to Joye. The only down side is that in order to keep our family together, we try to bring him home every night. Braden and Jaxon wake up at 4:45 every morning to get Jaxon to Grandma's before Braden goes to work. Jaxon will stay up there some times too. He loves school up there. He has already made lots of friends and maybe even a girlfriend. She is a little girl in his class in a wheelchair. He was her helper on his first day. I went to his classroom on the first day and she kept putting her arms around him. Then he came home yesterday and said that he yelled at some kids on the play ground because they kicked sand in her eyes. "Next time they do it, I'll just stand in front of her." He is so sweet. One of his other favorite parts about going to this school is he gets to play with Sara! He loves it. Rylee doesn't get the same recesses yet. But I think soon he'll have another play friend.

Here's Jaxon outside the school.

Sitting at his table. Happy to be there!

Grandma may kill me...

Jaxon's first day was the Welcome Back Assembly. Grandma was a rock start that sang about reading books! I think she looks awesome!

Our Newest Addition!

This is Galaxy our new kitty. We named her Galaxy so we could continue on with our Ford vehicles. She is a good kitty, we already got her potty trained, and we're going to go get her de-clawed soon. Joye has lots of battle scars already, she isn't the nicest to our new kitty. Imagine that ;)

Alek's First Day of Preschool!

Alek started Preschool on Tuesday. This year he'll go Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. He was so excited to go to school, since he was so sad that Jaxon got to go to school and he didn't.

He's getting ready to run in.

Running through the gate

Flipping his name around so it says that he's here.

Playing with Play-do waiting for all the kids to show up!

Labor Day 2010

We went up to Ricky's cabin over labor day. I was really fun. I love it up there because it's so peaceful, and you don't have to do anything. Just relax! We went to Hooper Springs, and let the kids drink some yummy water. And we let them play on the playground.

Before they drank the yummy water!

Being goofs on the bridge.
Here is the scary teeter-totter. That not only bruised my bum, but also bucked me off. That's right, I fell off the tetter-totter!

Joye was terrified to get on with us.

Boys doing it them selves

Me and Braden tried to get Jaxon all the way down. Neither one of us succeeded, but we had a lot of fun trying.

Joye didn't like the slide, we had to trick her to get her down.

The boys on the other hand, tried to see how much air they could catch.

We didn't want to go out to the fire pit to roast hot dogs, so we just did them in the stove. The kids still had so much fun.

Every night we went out to look for deer. This is one of the only good pictures. We saw 60-70 deer this trip, not bad for only 3 days.
