WOW!

School is getting so close to being over. Only one more week and Friday and then it's over. It has gone by pretty fast. However, that means my baby will be 5 months old next Friday.
Justin is leaving today to go to South Dakota for 11 days to go turkey hunting. I will miss him a lot. His mom is coming down to visit while he is gone so that will be helpful and then when she leaves my mom and sister will be here and they will help out as well.
I can't wait until my mom and sister, Joy, get here. I know my mom misses Kastyn and Joy hasn't even gotten to see her in person.

Growing like a Weed!

Kastyn is growing and growing. She is 4 1/2 months old and can still wear some 0-3 months clothes. She is growing longer but not very much around. All of her 0-3 pants are too short but too baggy around the waist. I dunno what I'm going to do with her.
The 3-6 month jammies and rompers fit her well but not the pants, they just fall off of her. I guess she will just live in rompers and jammies until she starts filling out a little.
We have started her on baby food and she LOVES squash. Yesterday I was cooking supper and doing dishes and I asked Justin to feed her some squash. Next thing I know she ate the whole jar of food...LOL!! Maybe she will soon start filling in those clothes.

Almost Summer!

I am excited it is almost summer time!!  We only have three weeks of school left and then I get to hang out with Kastyn all summer long. Our babysitter told us that she has to go back to work and make more money for her family. I completely understand but I am SOOO sad. This summer I will have to be interviewing people and daycares to find a place for Kastyn to go to in the fall...
My couponing is going ok. I haven't saved too much money yet though. I am excited about having time in the summer to go around and find good deals.

Poor Baby!

Kastyn hasn't been feeling well the last couple of days. The sitter said all she did yesterday was sleep. When I picked her up she was fussy and didn't want anything so about 6:30 I laid her back down and she slept some more. I thought oh boy this will be a long night. However, she slept all night until I woke her at 530 to get ready for the day. She might be going through a growing spurt. She is getting so big.

Justin put her walker together the other day and we put her in it. Her feet don't quite hit the floor but she loves playing with it. Daddy wanted her to have a green walker but I wanted the pink one and it is oh so cute, just like my little angel.

Coupon 101

On Saturday I went to a couponing 101 class and learned a lot. The lady doing the class was a Christian lady so that was good. I learned how to organize my coupons in a neat way with a trapper keeper, some baseball card holders and some dividers. I will post pictures later when I get my binder and card slots.

I am excited to start saving money for me and my family.

Reading

At school all of us teachers have been challenged to read and let the students know what we are reading. We have signs outside our room that tells what we are reading. I think it is a very neat idea and it lets the students see that us as teachers still read.

I started a reading plan on my iPAD. I am reading the Bible chronologically in a year. I really needed to get into my Bible daily so this is the plan I chose. Justin is reading the one year Bible, so he reads a little of the old testament, a little new testament, a pslam and proverb.

Long week!

WOW this week has been so LONG! I sure am glad it's Friday. Last week was spring break and I enjoyed spending time with all of my family and friends that I don't get to see very often. This week however has been really long. Kastyn hasn't been sleeping well at nights. She has been sleeping 7-8 hours for a couple months and now all of the sudden it is more like 4-5 hours and she wakes up like she is starving to death. We have started her on rice but she doesn't like it very much. She really isn't that good of an eater anyway. I'm not sure what to do with her. She is so very precious though.

I have been so blessed that God sent Kastyn to me.
