Tis the Season!

      Merry Christmas all! Well the Wertz homestead seems to be busy and full of life as usual. We had a nice couple week break from sports and now we are back in full swing with Basketball. Tyler will have a break for Christmas break and then back at it all in January. Tyler is doing well otherwise and enjoying (I think) the 6th grade. He also finished the soccer season undefeated, the last game of the season ended in a tie. It was also a game to remember. The bitter cold and the wind were no fun for the parents or the boys. It took a long time to “thaw” out for us all. He has a funny side to him. Almost like the “class clown” we may be in trouble with that. 

Brandon is good and expected to be home on Dec 23 for 5 days. He has worked hard and shown good improvement to earn coming home for Christmas. He is growing and learning a lot about himself through his journey at Patch. He talks all the time about the snow. They are building snow forts. HOW FUN!!

  Cameron is doing well and accelerating in school. He is learning lots and loves to read. He continues to surprise me everyday. He makes me laugh and he can also make me cry.

  Courtney is also enjoying school. She just had her first performance and did very well. She loves to go and her teachers. She is a little “diva” for sure. Loves to sing and dance. She says the funniest things. She brings me joy everyday. There is something to be said about having a girl!

    Mike and I are fine. We just hit our 14th anniversary this year. Life is rolling. It is a constant battle for us to find a connection these days because we are off and doing other things all the time. I guess there comes a time when children don’t take up all our time. Right?

  Mike is doing great. ( I think) ……He still works for the same company. It has been 13 years now and I think somewhere he dreams about a new opportunity somewhere else. At the same time taking a leap is hard to do in todays economy.  He works hard for our family to provide for us.

As for me, well I am still me and here. Always searching for that next adventure for myself. For me I really don’t need to say much as you all pretty much know who I am.

       Thanks for reading the update on our family!

He Swallowed a What??

Image
Not sure where to begin. Alright it is noon and Courtney is getting ready to take a nap and Cameron had just got in trouble so he needed to go to my room and take a rest. Court just went to bed and Cam is in my room. I sit down at the dining room table to finish some paperwork. All the sudden Cameron comes running down the hall screaming holding his throat, “I swallowed it, I swallowed it.” I said “Cameron what did you swallow?” Cameron, “ I don’t know it was silver metal, I don’t know what it is?” I am at this point going what on earth now. I can not fathom so we keep talking he gets a drink of water and coughs and says I really did I swallowed it. At this point the older boys know what he swallowed. So when we all came to the conclusion, we did in fact decide it was a battery. I try to call his doctors office but they had just left for lunch. I called poison control not sure what prompted that as I have never called them ever. The lady was wonderful on the phone and told me that if i...

I Have Missed.......

Well today was a good day. It was oh so HOT……I love it….okay well I love it as long as I can come in the house and cool off from time to time. Spent most of the day outside doing absolutely nothing except being kissed by the beautiful SUN!! My niece came over with my Great Nephew (thanks!) and we had a wonderful visit….Have I mentioned how precious he is? Cameron went to his first night at Mega Sports VBS and that was exciting for him. Tyler is camping at Dash Point with a friend. As for me and Courtney we went to Preston to go to the kids bounce place for a birthday party for Tucker. So while I was there I got to see the all the little ones I watch during the school year. Believe it or not I have missed that so much. As hard as it is to devote a day to kids all day with in reality no break can be difficult at times. Some days I was absolutely exhausted and some days I felt great. Some days were filled with happiness all day and some days I was so stressed I wanted to be done. No matte...

Safe Travel......To and From!

Travels……..So much to say and don’t know where to begin. Started my venture and decided 10 min. into the ride I was tired. I really dislike when that happens. I prayed immediately for safe travels……Thank you for those that took the time out to pray!! Travels were safe. Loud music and window down….dancing…..just to stay awake and make the run smooth. Let me first off start with I got some gas. Then I get into Puyallup and coffee is calling my name but decided hey I can wait. So what do you know……Starbucks on every corner and I wait to find the next one and NOTHING……….Keep driving, NOTHING…….Heavens to Pete I think by now I am going to die. So I am driving staying very content with the driver in front of me. A truck pulls out in front of him and he had no choice but to pass at that moment. So I got stuck behind this truck that is driving 35-40 in a 55 I finally get in a safe place to pass so I do. Of course he speeds up…..but its all good……I may like to drive fast but I do not like to pa...
