This is something new for me, but we are going to try it out and see how it goes. Currently my husband and I live in Fort Collins, although in about a month that will change. We currently have two wonderful kiddos, Ayden Kekoa who will be four in September and Ryleigh Leiolani who will be two in October. Life is always changing for us and we have a hard time communicating it sometimes. So my aunt suggested this (among other people suggestions) and I decided why not jump on the band wagon.
My fantabulous husband works as a middle school teacher, although as you would guess (because life has to be interesting) he is considering quitting after this year to become a police officer. In July he joined the national guard band. Good thing is that it is the band, very little chance of being called overseas. He teaches at South Valley and North Valley Middle schools in La Salle and Platteville. Lots of traveling!!!
As for me I am a manager for a local bank. I love my job most days, but long for the day when I can do what I truly love and that is take care of my kids. I have been with the bank for coming up on 5 years. It is crazy to think that I have had a job for that long. It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was working crazy jobs just trying to get through school. If someone told me that real life was going to be a challenge, I might have changed my mind about growing up.
Ayden is a hoot!! He is full of energy and if you let him he will talk your ear off. He already has the oldest child syndrome. We are constantly getting after him for disciplining his sister. Ayden loves to read and will take a book to bed over a toy. He loves playing with all of his cousins and aunts and uncles.
Ryleigh is growing up fast. I wish that she would learn to clarify her words that she uses. There are times that I think she is speaking a different language. She is getting better, and I think she will progress more when her brother is in preschool and unable to talk for her. She is only two and already has a fetish for shoes. Very often you will see her running around the house with somebody shoes on, her favorite are Ayden's Lightening McQueen flip flops.
I guess that is a quick overview of our family. We will be having another special person be added to our family in mid January and pray that she will have the same sweet spirit that Ayden and Ry have.
