So I ended last with Wylie and Kasey getting ready to start school. I am laughing out loud right because I just counted for Wylie today and there are only 24 days of school left.
September: Wylie started K and did great on his first day. He still would prefer to stay home then go to school though. He loves his friends, recess, gym and "second recess." Kasey well she is thriving in her K Prep class. She is the youngest in her class by almost a year and is doing so well. She will be going to Kindergarten in the fall. Her favorite things are art and writing!
October: Gee whiz I can barely remember October. Halloween is in October, let me think back as to what they were this year. . . . still thinking . . Wylie was a soldier, Kasey was a cat again and Tori well she would not partake and stayed home to help pass out candy. Although she would not go near the door because as she would say, "that scare me!" I got to go to Nashville with one of my dearest friends who lives in Colorado. We had a great, great time.
November: Thanksgiving happened!! We decorated the house for Christmas, the kids love this day!
December: We hosted our first Sieburg family Christmas party. We had a great turnout and a great time. Hoping to do it again next December. Kids LOVED the holiday excitement. Wylie sort of sat near Santa mostly to ensure that he got his list. Kasey stayed her distance and asked for 100 seahorses. Poor Santa, that is a tough one! Tori, well she looked from far far away and just kept saying "Santa picking his nose?" She must have seen something we didn't see. My parents stayed over night xmas eve due to bad weather and it was so much fun. We think we just started a new tradition. That way they can watch the excitement of the kids in the morning.
January: 2010 is here. Wylie turned 6!! We (mostly I) threw him a big party. He had 22 of his little 5/6 year old friends over to our house to celebrate HIS day. It was a huge success and so much fun. Wylie went to the batting cages for the first time and no kidding hit 40mph baseballs. It was crazy! We did a couple state park day trips with the kids to hike, sled and enjoy the winter weather. Tori got really sick toward the end of the month and was actually hospitalized for 5 nights. She had double pneumonia and RSV.
February/March: The countdown began for my own personal events: BON JOVI concerts. I went to two shows in March, one in Fargo and the other one in Detroit. They were so much fun and I got to spend some quality time with some good friends and see JBJ.
April: Went to two more JBJ shows. Kasey accompanied me to one of these concerts. It was her very first concert and she got to see JBJ. It was so much fun. I made tshirts for us to wear, she made us matching bracelets and necklaces. She was super excited and had a great time, minus the little nap she took in the middle of the show. She woke up in time for Livin' on a Prayer, her favorite song. She insists she only missed one song, too cute!
*Wylie has his first loose tooth
"If I get married on the beach, I might forget to get married because I will be too busy playing in the sand." --Kasey's quote when I was telling her she should get married on the beach someday like her Mom and dad.
