Been a while...

It's been a long while since I've blogged. There hasn't been much time for much of anything it seems lately. With going to school Mon-Thur, taking care of the kiddos and working at my PT job, it seems I'm running around non-stop.

  So a quick recap on what's new with everyone in the family...

Juliana started Kindergarten this year in Hallsville. She loves getting to ride the bus, and only a few times has already started the "I don't want to go to school" like every child. I just smile and tell her she has a looonnggg time before she doesn't get to go. She's been doing GREAT though. She makes a lot of art work, which I thought I would be keeping everything she did like my mom did when I was little. Now I know my mom probably didn't keep EVERYTHING, because I would need a closet for the amount of paper that child brings home. On top of that it seems that almost every week there's a new fundraiser, or buy this book or come do this and that! I'd like to know where these people think parents find all that time!

Bredun is defiinitly my wild man. He's the most energetic thing on earth, and I love him to pieces. His vocabulary is growing daily, and he makes me a happy, proud mama, with his sweet ways. He usually sleeps with me when Taurus is working and of course takes up alll the room in the bed, but I love snuggling with him, and sometimes will randomly get a little kiss in the morning when he wakes up.

Kiyana is growing like a weed....a chubby weed. It seems like the only thing to get her not to fuss or cry is food or mama holding her. Spoiled, I tell ya! She's walking around and trying to keep up with Juliana and Bredun and before you know it I'm sure I'll be hearing lots more words from her. I love all my babies so much and am proud that they are my little snuggle, funny babies.

I have 4-5 months of school left, and I've loved every bit of it. It has gone by so fast, and i've learned so much, and to think that I will finally be doing what I love seems odd to me. No more job to job of things I'm not interested in. Finally something that keeps me happy, and others happy. I love the endless opportunities and learning experiences I've picked up and I'm even more excited to see what doors God opens for me once I'm out in the real world doing what I love. I hope to have a salon picked out before I graduate so that I can start right away. And for the most part, most students are able to do so if they put their resumes out there at least 2mths in advance.

I can't make any promises I'll be a better blogger, but at least I've caught you up on most of the daily things going on in our life.

Merry Christmas!

I'm still here.....

It's been a while since I've blogged so I thought I would give a quick update on the Bursey family. Really there's not much to say. We've been doing the same schedule of me going to school, Taurus working nights and not too many exciting things in between. Taurus and I both celebrated our birthdays in April, and now it's going to be my "not so little" baby girls birthday, tomorrow. Juliana will be 5 tomorrow and I can't believe it. It went way too fast, and she's all of a 5 year plus 10 years on top. Little attitude and all. We will be going to Ballwin, where my sister and her husband live to celebrate this next weekend. As long as the weather is good, we'll be going to a water park.

School has been going great. We've been on the books for almost a month now so it's  been nice to make tips here and there. Not too much but something, which is better than nothing. We have tests every Monday which kind of sucks, but they haven't been too bad, and since we get study guides it's been pretty easy to stay focused on what's needed to pass the tests. And all of you out there need to come in and see me!! Pedicures are $12, now come on that's good, and we massage way longer than any of those salons you'd go to AND spend more at. Yes I'm being a sales lady.....so what.

Is it me or this place??!!!

Ok, heads up, this post is just a random thought. I've been sick (cold like symptoms) for the last week and a half and it seems as though I can breath better when I'm out and about than when I sit at home? Does anyone know what to look for or watch for that it may be something in the place you stay rather than just you dealing with a cold? It's annoying me and now my kids are sick and I hate watching them suffer breathing, snotty nose and all.

...aannndd end random thought.

I'mmmm back...

So we got back from Dallas around 11 pm Saturday night and we're all so exhausted, butt, legs and all. We left around noon that day and didn't have too many stops, so we did pretty good. It was good to hang out and see family! We chilled a lot and didn't do much, but we did get to go bowling one night, so it was nice to get out and get to do that. Now I love being in Dallas, but it was good to be home in my own bed. I still wish that bed was in Texas, but I know right now the timing is for us to be in MO.

  I found out that the clock hours for cosmetolody school is the same in MO and TX so that's good. As long as all of the hours are transferrable then if one day we are able to move to TX I would be able to with not too much of a problem which is exciting. Im still loving school and enjoying learning new things. Even though some of them may be a bit tedious, it's something to do and I love the atmosphere I'm in. Pedicures, manicures, cut, color whatever I want and for the most part, when we're not real busy, whenever I want. It's cheap, it's fun and I love it all.

Next month I'll be in Iowa for my cousins wedding and will get to see more of my family so I'm super excited about that.

Now it's off to picking up the house and blocks that Bredun is so generously throwing down the stairs as I  type.... little boys...

Spring Break...

One more day of school and then its Spring Break!! Not that I don't want to keep going to school cause I totally do, but I get to go see my Texas family for that whole week! We will eat good food, laugh, hang out and be lazy! Hopefully the drive won't be too bad for the kids and me. We'll be driving to OK to stay with my sister Beckie in Oklahoma City Friday night and then Saturday morning will travel the rest of the way to Dallas. So it will be a 11ish hour drive and that's around 7 hours the frist day. I've driven 6 in a row when I've gone to Iowa before so I'm thinking I'll be good, as long as I can get some sleep. Hopefully the babies will sleep a good chunk of the time, but not too much so it doesn't mess up the sleeping schedule, but if so it'll probably just be for a couple of days.

Anyway...

I'm ready to see my fam!
