A Whole Lotta of Updating

So a lot has happened since I last posted. Here it all is, and probably not in order.
1. Josiah's arm has healed up, Praise God! I took him in today for his 4th x-ray and the bone has healed and looks great. He can now skateboard and bicycle again!
2. Jeff made it home safely from Afghanistan, another praise! He has been home for a little over a month now. He had one week off, then had to go in for the next 2 weeks for a class and then he had this week off. The kids and I have enjoyed having him home. Monday he goes back to work, *sniff*, and we will be back to normal in the Rybold house.
3. Jeff's parents visited.
4. Josiah had his 9th birthday! Where has the time gone? I mean, seriously, how do Jeff and I have a 9 year old? Sheesh. This year we are doing family birthdays. No big parties this year. So we celebrated at home with just us. He chose a chocolate cake and asked for pizza for dinner. He got a lego starwars game for the Wii from us, some beyblades, Megamind, and more beyblades.
5. Jeff had his 29th birthday! So now I am not old any more since he reached my age. lol We celebrated late for Jeff but we did go out to Longhorn Steakhouse this week and had a super yummy dinner. He also received an embarrassing show at the restaurant from the waiters who sang a weird version of happy birthday. He says he wasn't embarrassed but I think he was a tiny little bit. :)
6. Tara is pretty much potty trained now. So is this potty adventures #5 or #6 now? I didn't keep up with that like i planned. She is doing great. She pretty much pees in the toilet 100% of the time. She is still getting the hang of going #2 in the toilet. She's not scared to at all, the timing is just so off for her. She usually wakes up from her nap with poo in the pullup. *sigh* Maybe about 2-3x a week we actually get lucky and get her to do it in the toilet. We are very proud of her and she is very proud of herself too. She gets 2 m&m's for peeing and so after she goes she squeals in excitement and yell's "I get 2 of them!" :)
7. School is going fine. Yes I've kept up with it even with Jeff coming home. I gave the boys one day off after daddy got back and then we got back to it. I do not want to get behind. We should be finishing up in May but I plan on doing some form of school threw the summer too. Especially with Gaber's reading and Josiah's memorization of multiplication. I think it was easier to memorize it myself than to help him memorize it. Last year in 2nd grade he had up to the 5's memorized, but this year he has some how forgotten all of it. Ugh.

Well, I think that is everything that has happened since I last bloggity blogged. If not, oh well! :)
Happy April!
