Raising My Army Brats!

First of all, I would like to point out that I NEVER get sick, I just don’t really have time for it! This week Mike is in the field, which basically means work is making him do hardcore camping about 10 mins away from home every night. This happens quite a bit, and I am used to it, but of course this week we all had to get sick, even me! Not super sick, but we all had colds and I had a really bad headache that would not and still has not gone away!

 To make matters worse, Riley’s best friend’s family is being posted this year! They leave on Friday morning, so he is sad and wanting to spend as much time with him as he can, which I understand! They are wonderful people. Some of the only friends any of us has here since we moved and they are moving to where we came from!! We just switched places! It is going to be a hard week for the kids.

To try and make things easier, we are going BACK to my mom’s house so that the kids can be distracted by the fun and games that is Nannie and Poppie’s house!! Hopefully Mike can come too, but with this course he isn’t sure if he can get away, he needs to study. The army is so much like high school!! They have homework and tests and “field” trips, haha! Ok I must be tired because I really found that funny!

 I should end this post for now, the sick kids need their sick mommy!

Happy Canada Day everyone!!!!

 We had a busy long weekend! We had Riley’s 6th birthday party on the Saturday, had his friend spend the night that night, then drove to my mom’s house the next day! We were supposed to only spend one night because Mike had to be back at work the next day, but then we got a phone call. Baby Brenna had her 1 year old check up on Wednesday (today) and it is a 2 hour trip to get from our house to the dr’s (same town as my mom’s), so we decided to stay, well the kids and I did, Mike had to bus it back home so he could be at work on time on Canada Day morning!!

I, of course, did lots of shopping while I was at mom’s. Went to Old Navy, Children’s Place, all the good stores, lol! The kids had a blast with Nannie and Poppie. My sister took Riley to see Wall-E and because of that he became her best friend ever!! He wanted to go with her and her friends anywhere they went and he never wants to go anywhere! He kept asking me if he could “spend time” with Auntie B, isn’t that sweet?

Miss Brenna is 21lbs 5oz and 30 inches long. She handled her shots like a trooper, although she is not a fan of the doctor!! She cried as soon as he looked at her and didn’t stop until we left the office!! He is really a nice doctor! He used to be my paediatrician when I was younger!! She just doesn’t like men…not going to complain, haha!

Hope everyone had a good long weekend!! Hope I can get some pics on here soon!!
