Long Overdue Updates

(Due to not having internet for a while, we haven't done blog updates in a while. So here's the updates.)

Andrea’s Graduation

I FINALLY made it!!! After years of hard work and stress trying to finish school with a job and family I’m finally done! I graduated with my Legal Administrative Associates Degree, Executive Assisting Certificate, and an Accounting Certificate. My parents came out for graduation and Josh gave me the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen!


Hayden’s Preschool Graduation

What a wonderful year! We’re so proud of Hayden and all he’s learned and accomplished. He’ll often sit down with Kylie and try to teach her the things he has learned.

His preschool graduation was May 21, 2010 and the teacher put together a wonderful program. The kids shared things that they had learned throughout the year, and they all got graduation caps and gowns.
He’s so smart for his age and is ready to take on kindergarten in September. As for Kylie, she’s so excited to begin preschool so can learn like her big brother.


Josh’s School

Now that Andrea is finished with school, it’s finally Josh’s turn! He started an EMT class on April 19th and completed the course on June 23rd. He did excellent considering how difficult the curriculum was, and the short time frame he had to learn it. His cousin Nick was also in the class with them. Hard to believe they actually got anything done knowing how those two are together. :)


It’s a Girl!!!

In January we found out that we are expecting our first baby together. The kids couldn’t be more excited. We went in for the ultra sound on April 20th and found out that it’s a girl! We took the kids to the ultrasound, and while I’m sure that part wasn’t too exciting for them, they were very excited to find out that they were getting a little sister.



Grandma and Grandpa Eldridge

Grandma and Grandpa were able to come visit for a week and a half. We always have so much fun when they come. Kylie loves her aunt Makayla and followed her everywhere she went. We were able to take the kids to Lagoon for the first time. The kids just loved the new kid rides there. Hayden was just barely big enough to ride The Bat roller coaster. Because there was hardly anyone there, we were able to hop off and jump right back on about 4 times in a row. Kylie's favorite ride was the Octopus one. She rode it till she was drenched.

Josh and Grandpa also took Hayden on his first fishing trip, which was so much fun!

Josh also got to get out in the water and have some fun of his own.

Kylie’s 4th Birthday

Our darling Kylie is getting so big and beautiful! We had a little family party for her this year, much like we did for Hayden’s 4th. She chose to have a mermaid cake, so Andrea put her best skills together and attempted the cake.

Kylie opened her presents, and ended up with lots of cute clothes.

I think her favorite gift ended up being her LeapFrog computer game from Grandma Eldridge.
