The Flygare Family: First Timers

First Timers

Well here we go fam dam! I am not much of a communicator but I figured since everyone else was doing it that I would hop on the bandwagon and give it a whirl.

As you may or may not know we have moved to Tennessee and are enjoying it immensely. It is quite the change going from gorgeous mountains and snow and living in the city to rolling hills, no mountains and having property and space.

The kids get to ride the bus to school and hate every minute of it!! Apparently the bus driver is ornery and yells a lot....sounds like home if you ask me!

Steevi is in middle school now and has 9 different classes. She has boat loads of homework each night and plays the saxophone.

Beau and Jessi like school but hate the fact they only have one recess and have to stay inside most of the time because it's so cold.

Alli and Brooklyn and best friends and can destroy the entire house in less than an hour. They are mini tornadoes wrapped in very cute little packages!! They are constantly changing clothes and love to run around in their swimming suits.

Jaremy and I just celebrated our 11 th Anniversary Saturday and took a nice trip into Nashville for dinner. How the time flies.

Well, I'm glad you jumped on the bandwagon too! If you don't have the blog bug yet, you just wait. It is so fun to keep in touch with everyone and see what is going on in everyones life, especially those that are so far away. I am glad you are liking your new place, there's nothing like a little change to mix things up a little. After we moved a couple of times I got to where I enjoyed the change of scenery and getting to know new people and new surroundings! I can't wait to hear and see more about what you guys are up to!

Great blog. Looking at the little girl in the pink swimming suit is like looking back in time at you at that age. Wow. I had a guy send me a picture of his crotch on day and then a picture of his erection the next day. I too filed a report

Our Vaca with Grandma and Grandpa Flygare

OK, So maybe we weren't turtleeee enough for the turtle club!

We had been packing and getting things ready to move into our new place, playing and loving up our new turtle, attending to Brooklyn's gash (she fell on a large shard of glass out back in the woods), that Alli had not been getting enough attention due to all the commotion. She was very mad indeed. She went from having one on one time with mom to and from school and lots in between to not much attention at all, Sorry Bibst. Anyway I was sitting in the front room taking a break from packing and Alli stuck her head in the sliding door and announced, "The turtle is gone". Not thinking about it too much I simply said, "no it isn't Bibst". Well I made it out to the deck about 4 hours later to discover that YES the turtle was gone. Alli had opened the cage and helped our little friend along his way. Coincidence ?? I think not!! Jare and I looked and scowered and never did find our beloved friend. However, we did find this HUGE spider hanging out with it's lovely little egg sack only a few yard from our deck. JACKPOT!!

And to finish off the story, this happened the morning of the disappearance or our turtle friend, I had gone in to take a shower and was finishing up to hop in the shower and Alli slid a piece of paper under the door. I hollered out and asked what it was (i knew) and Alli simply stated, "A BUTT". She was so mad at me for not paying enough attention to her that she drew me a picture of a butt and let our turtle go.

Tornados???

We were unaware that there were tornados in Tennessee. It was a super dark day a week or two ago so I decided to check the weather channel. I put in our zip code and it started flashing a huge red warning. Never having experienced this before we got loaded up and headed out to get somewhere safe. After the storm calmed and we returned home I ran out to pick up a few things for Easter the next day. I got into the suburban and went on my merry way. As I was coming down the hill I saw Jaremy at the T in the road and figured he was just taking garbage to the dump. I pulled in and soon after he pulled in. I notice he had a few kids but when I walked up to the truck little heads started popping up everywhere. There had been another tornado warning while I was out and since I was gone with the family vehicle he had loaded everyone up in the truck. Super funny...after the fact.
