4th of July

Well a lot has been going on with us. Happy 4th to my family and friends that read or keep updated with our blog. Happy Anniversary to my husband Jared Coulter for 3 amazing years and many more to come.

Jared started a job with the union of Idaho for plumbing back in May. He works in North Dakota for 3 weeks at a time then comes home for 1 week. It's definitely been busy when he gets home because the week fly's by and we don't realize it at times.

Jacob has been in tutoring all summer for reading to prep him for next year. He will be repeating 3rd grade although he is not very excited about that. He has also been finishing up his learning technics and I believe he has about a half month left on that. This last school year he was diagnosed with ADD and is on medication to help him keep focused with that. In August he has a busy month with scouts and also for the rest of July. He became a Webelos at the beginning of summer and loves every minute of it. 

Alysa has gone to the hearing doctor yesterday and she may have loss hearing in her left ear. She gets retested on July 19th. Other than that she is 32 inches long and out eats her brother which is very humorous.

I am a stay at home mom now since I lost my job back in January. I have thought about going back to work when Jacob returns to school. Jared got a raise so its nice to be able and stay at home with the kids.

That is all with us right now. Hope everyone family an friends are doing well.

May 2013

I know it's been awhile since I've been able to post.

Alysa is 16 mos and growing like a weed. She has been trying to run but has not succeeded yet. She is still not speaking except for mama and dada. She will most likely start speech therapy here in July.

Jacob has been busy with therapy to help his memory. He was diagnosed ADD so has been taking Adderall to help him stay on task. He gets his first phase of braces next Monday so he is not looking forward to that. He bridges over to a webelo scout towards the end of the month. He has a busy summer with scouts and all.

I lost my job in January and been struggling to find a new one. I may go to school soon for my paramedic license.

Jared finally got a job. He leaves on Sunday for 3 weeks and will be back the last week of may for when Jacob gets out of school. So it will be interesting but things are starting to look up for us again.
