Winter is Here!!!

2010-11-13T21:05:00.000-08:00

So it went from fall which felt like summer (62 degree's) to winter in a couple of days. I am ready for it to be warm again and we have just started into winter. The girls have been really, really busy like always. Braily is still ballroom dancing and staying really busy with friends, McKaily is ballroom dancing and clogging, which she has decided that clogging is more her type of thing, Jaylee is ballroom dancing and loves doing her homework, and Tylee is ballroom dancing also and she has learned to tie her shoes.

WOW IT HS BEEN A LONG TIME!!

2009-09-30T23:57:00.000-07:00

Well it has been a long, long, time since I have done this. I am actually sitting at my computer at home working on dance stuff at 1:00 am. Obviously I am having a hard time staying focused. We have all had a bad week except for Jed. The women of the house have all been really really sick. Took McKaily into the doctor and he tested her for Influenza A and she tested positive. He figures that it could be swine flu, to me the flu is the flu pig or not. You feel terrible, your kids all have had fevers, headaches, stuffy noses, stomach aches, and on, and on. The flu is the flu. It is terrible. Kids can't go to school for 7 days, so the fighting comes in also. I love my girls, but wow this is a lot of drama! Well I am going to make this short and sweet. We are all alive and hoping to be getting better. We hope everyone else is doing well and staying away from this bad sickness. WASH YOUR HANDS! WASH YOUR HANDS! WASH YOUR HANDS! Where ever you go. I changed the slide show and put in a few new pictures of the kids this summer. Hopefully I will get more.

It's Almost Gone

2009-01-22T10:37:00.001-08:00

Where does time go?? I can't believe that January is half way over. It seems that time just goes by faster and faster. I hope everyone's Holidays treated them good. I had high hopes of getting our Christmas cards out this year on time and it didn't seem to happen. I ended up waiting on the family picture we had taken and after it was so late getting here, I thought I will send them anyway. I went into Wal-Mart and had the cards all printed out finally and then I put them on my desk in my office (big mistake)and that is where they still sit. I kept thinking I would have time to send them and it just never came. So I have a stack of Christmas cards on my desk that will probably be sitting there next year. Maybe I will send two next year. Then everyone can see how we have all changed. I did take some pictures at Christmas and still haven't gotten them downloaded on to my computer so you will probably see them in June or something. Life just gets away from us to fast these days. The kids are all doing well and staying really busy. With four girls there is never a dull moment, but we have to enjoy them all. They will only be little once.

It's Almost Christmas!!!

2008-12-18T10:04:00.000-08:00

Holy Cow I can't believe Christmas is almost here, and as usual I am no where close to being ready. I really wish I could just give someone a list and money and they would go shopping for me. I HATE to SHOP!!! There are a lot of people that think I am weird, but it doesn't matter what type of shopping it is and if I had all the money in the world I would still hate shopping. I do enjoy Christmas though. I enjoy the true meaning of Christmas. Every year the dance studio the kids dance for does a Sub-4-Santa for a family in need and I think it is so great. This year they are putting on a dance. It is for the whole family and all the proceeds go to the fund. I think it will be really fun. They are even having Santa come for the little kids. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and hopefully I will give you an update after Christmas.

Halloween

2008-11-04T18:19:00.000-08:00

I am Glad that is done. Halloween should be a fun holiday, but boy I don't like it. It could be all the dressing up of kids that makes me so unhappy. The week of Halloween I dressed up kids everyday, but Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday Braily and McKaily had a halloween dance party, and on Thursday Jaylee had her dance party and our ward did Trunk-or-Treat. The kids liked that because they got candy on Thursday night and then got more candy on Friday night. Friday I dressed the kids up for school and then had to do touch up's after school before going out for the night. The kids had lots of fun and got to much candy. Hope everybody had fun. Enjoy the fall because winter is just around the corner.

Summer's Past

2008-10-30T12:43:00.000-07:00

So now that summer is gone I thought maybe I would share a little of what happened, also I was reading a friends blog and it said that I hadn't posted in 5 months oops. I really don't have a lot of spare time to post, I really should teach Braily then she could keep us updated.
Well this summer went by to fast and now it is fall. I can't believe that is November already that means Christmas is right around the corner.
This summer the girls went to San Diego with my parents and that is where most of the pictures came from. They went to the wild animal kingdom, the zoo, and to sea world. They had a blast and they want to go back already. We also went to Yellowstone in the end of July and really had a lot of fun. We saw a bunch of wild life and Tylee thought that was cool because they weren't in cages. There were the buffalo that she kept calling elephants because she had seen them in San Diego, it was really cute. We saw some elk, bear, big horn sheep, and of course coyotes it seems like you can't go to Yellowstone anymore with out seeing one of those. We would like to hunt them, but that would get us in a lot of trouble. It will probably get me in trouble with some of you for typing it here.
School has long started and the kids are really liking it. Braily is in 6th grade and I feel really old. I can't believe I have a 6th grader. She really likes school especially the social part, friends are so important. She also really likes that she gets to change classes so many times. I never remember changing class as much as she does when I was in 6th grade. McKaily is in 3rd grade and she is liking being the older sister in the elementary to Jaylee. She likes that Braily is no longer in the school so Jaylee can say that is my big sister and McKaily knows she is talking about her. Jaylee is in 1st grade and thinks she is big stuff because she gets to eat school lunch now and she loves it. She really likes her teacher and is really doing well in math and reading. When she gets home from school she is at the table doing her homework, I wish she would rub off on the other two. It is like pulling teeth to get them to do their homework. Little Tylee isn't so little anymore, she is now 3 and is as busy as ever. While I work she goes to a couple of different places during the week and she likes the change. She likes the kids that are there to play with. One of the sitters has her two kids at home and she doesn't tend any other kids, so that is nice, the other one has her two kids and one other little girl so she has fun there. Life is busy for Jed and I still, it never slows down with four girls it is just going to get worse. Hope all is well with everyone.

OH WOW!!!!

2008-05-14T11:38:00.000-07:00

It has been a long time since I have updated our blog, or even looked at anyone else's blog. Time has gotten away from me and life is so busy I can't seem to find time to do it. Our lives here in Idaho are still great and we are still loving it here. The girls have been really busy with dance, school and friends. Oh the friends and the girls!! I really have a hard time when they start fighting with their friends and it gets so catty. I was so not into the hurt feelings thing, that is probably why most of my friends were boys. You make them mad and in 10 minutes they are your friends again.

Well our little Tylee Jo's birthday was on the 13th and I feel so bad because we didn't get to do much. I have been really busy this week with dance tryouts that I haven't even had time to go shopping. I'm a terrible mother, at least she is only 3 so she won't think to much of it when we have her another party this weekend. She will have gifts and cake and we can just let her think she has two birthdays this year. She is so big, she is now potty trained ( I thought that was going to do me in). I have never had a kid take this long, but she has now tackled that hurtle. She is getting to be such a good talker, and my favorite thing she says is "Mommy, I love you to the moon and back", it is from a book that I read her. The book has the little nut brown hare in it. She loves the book and loves to be read to.

All three of the older girls tryed out for dance this year and they all made the team. They all do so good and enjoy it so much. It has been a fun year in dance for Braily and Jaylee. Next year McKaily is doing it and I am sure she will find it just as much fun. They all have been staying really busy with school and still love going. That is a plus, I want them to love school for as long as they will, it makes it easier to get them there. Braily starts 6th grade next year, wow that makes me feel old. The girls have a busy summer planned. Braily is leaving for Texas with my mom on the 31st of May and won't be back home until the 10th of June. Then all of the girls are going with my mom and dad to San Diego on the 28th of June until the first sunday in July, then someone is going to meet me on that following Monday half way to pick up Tylee and the older three girls are going to be staying with my mom until the 18th of July. Then when they get back we are going to be going to Yellowstone for a week. They should have a lot of fun. I have to work all summer so it is good for them to go with family and spend sometime. They are so excited to be going and playing. Jeds mom and sister are suppose to be coming up on June 2nd and we are very excited to see them and show them where we live. Well that is just a little update on our family and our happin's.

McKaily's Turning 8

2008-02-15T07:39:00.000-08:00

Well Hello to all you out there in blogger land. I just wanted you all to know that McKaily's birthday is fast approching and she will be turning 8. She will be getting baptized. The main reason that I am posting this on our blog is because she has decided that she wants to go to Cedar City and be baptized there so that all of her family can be there. We will be doing this Easter weekend on Saturday. I am not sure what time we will be doing it however it will be taking place at the Stake Center on Minersville Hwy. When I get more info, I will be sure to pass it along.
We have had a ton of snow here in Idaho and the we have all enjoyed it. We have been staying extremely busy like always. Braily and Jaylee have been performing at some events around the area with there ballroom dancing. They are scheduled to perform tomorrow night at our ward party. It should be really fun. Braily is also perparing to compete in the Gem State Classic up at BYUI next weekend. She is entered in 5 different dance, she is excited to be dancing, but not so excited that it is with 5 different partners. I told her that life doesn't always go exactly like you want it to, but the better you act about it the better the out come will be.
Our little Tylee Jo has been sick this week and somehow got another sliver that became infected in her. I think she is a magnet for slivers. She also fell of the front porch yesterday and landed in what is suppose to be a pile of snow, but is a pile of ice instead. She scratched her nose all up and cut her hands on it. The poor little girl is covered in bandaids. She is also starting to get a black eye from falling and hitting so hard.
Jed has been working a lot and has been sick for about 2 weeks and finally, finally is starting to get better. He has also been snowmobiling with some guys from work a few times and they love having him go. They want him to go every weekend. He was borrowing a machine from one of the guys and his boss wanted him to keep going with them as often as time will permit he gave Jed a snowmobile. It isn't a brand new one, but it runs great and he rides it like he stole it. I has givin' him a lot of joy to be able to enjoy some of his old passions.
As for me I have been so busy that most days I can't remember where I have been. I have started my new job ( I still have all my other ones, this is just added to that). The job is that by next fall I will be managing the dance studio Braily and Jaylee dance for. Right now I am in the process of planning a tour down through Utah. I will be in the area of Cedar the Weekend of April 26-27. We are leaving here on Friday the 25th and going to the Salt Lake Valley where we are performing for the owners parents ward, then on Saturday morning early we will head to St. George, I am trying to get us scheduled to perform at the Tuican with the BYU Ballroom team that Saturday night and to a show for the Tuicon School of Performing arts sometime early in the day and maybe to a teaching class with some of the students there. On Sunday we will still be in St. George, and do a fire side for the owners husbands parents ward and then on Monday morning we are going to head back north. Our first stop that day will be at the North Elementary school to perform for the kids there, and then we will be heading to Richfield, and Annabella. After that it will be back to the Salt Lake Valley to perform at the owners old High School and I will be trying to get some other schools scheduled for up there. So between working for the Masonry company, doing vinyl , scheduling dance tours, raising kids, taking care of sick husbands and being a webalo scout leader I have been staying very busy. (Sorry if I spelled anything wrong, my spell check is not working and I suck at spelling. Hope all is well with everyone. We miss and love you all.

Happy V-Day

2008-01-29T22:13:00.000-08:00

Hello to you all. It has been a while since I have updated our blog, life just flies by. Well this last weekend we had quite the big scare. On Friday night about 10:45 p.m. I received a phone call from a lady that told me that McKaily (whom was with a friend for the night) had been hit head on with her friends family by a drunk driver. She assured me that everything was okay and everyone was fine. She told me where to find the wreck and so I headed out. When I got there of course as a mother I had to check and make sure everyone was okay. They must of had guardian angels with them because when her friends mom seen the guy coming toward them she pulled off the road and he still hit them head on going about 45mph. Today is Nate birthday (for those of you who do not know him, he is my brother who passed away almost 13 years ago) and I know without a doubt that he was McKaily's angel that night. She said that when she saw him coming toward them she started to pray and I know that her prayers were answered. What a blessing it is to still have her here with us because so easily she could of been taken home before I am ready to let her. I was having a really, really bad day and after that happened I stopped and thought nothing is really that bad, I have my family what else really matters. If you lose everything you have as long as you have your family, you have everything you truly need. I have thanked Heavenly Father so much for her safety and the safety of my other girls this last few days, that I really think I took for granted the fact that he keeps them safe everyday when they go out into the ugly world. If you want to know what happened to the drunk driver of course he was not hurt, he was a Mexican that said he only had "2" drinks and McKaily said that he fell down 3 times before finally dragging himself to the hood of his car and passing out, just to be hauled off to jail. After that I am not sure what has happened to him. Well it is really late so I am going to jet. I hope to have time to update you on the rest of the happenings in the Rosenberg home really soon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

2007-12-26T12:25:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. I know, I know, it has been like 6 weeks since my last post, but life has been CRAZY!!! Well we made it through Christmas now if we can make it past new years things might find some sort of schedule again. I hope you all had a very happy holiday season. I am not sure that I have had much time to enjoy the season this year. I have been very busy doing vinyl and running kids around that I haven't really sat down and just vegged.
Christmas was good for the girls this year, and I am very grateful for the love and support of our family and friends. It has been a very emotional Christmas for Jed and I and we want you all to know that we love each one of you and are very grateful to have you be a part of our family. Life in Idaho is still good and we really have felt the spirit this year.
The family got a Wii for Christmas and Jed and I have decided if we did it every night that would be a good exercises program, WOW what a work out!! If you haven't every played one you should try it, it is a blast. The girls all got little mp3 players and Tylee got a lot of clothes and babies. Becci Christensen my neighbor and best friend gave me the best Christmas present this year. She started working on it this last August and when she gave it to me I just cried. She took my 4 beautiful little angels and took pictures of them (she does as good of a job as a Pro) and the she put them on wood block with sayings and they are so precious. I have posted some of the pictures she took and they are beautiful. Well hope you all felt the true meaning of Christmas in your homes as much as we did our home.
WE LOVE YOU ALL!

P.S. We got christmas puppies, for those of you whom didn't know our dog was having puppies, she had them on Christmas. She has 8 of them.

So It has been a While

2007-11-10T16:35:00.000-08:00

Hello Ya'll. Hope all is well. This last few weeks has gone in a blur for me. On October 19th my Jeddy turned a whapin' "35" along with our dear old Toddis. Happy birthday boys. I had a surprise party for Jed and we did a murder mystery dinner party. My neighbor took pictures so as soon as I get them from her I will be sure to post them. Then Halloween came and went. That was lots of fun. Personally I could just do without it and all the candy (sorry Susy). Just seems like it takes a lot of work for such a little bit of time. By the time we get home it is always the same, fighting, crying kids. Then the last week I have been so sick that I have felt like death has been at my door. I really haven't been this sick since I was preg with Braily. No I am not expecting, remember as McKaily put it I fixed that problem. I even had to do the whole I.V. thing again. YUCK. Well I am still not up to full speed so I will post again later I hope not a month from now but who knows. Please get me those addresses again. Thanks

OOOOPPPSSSS!

2007-11-10T15:12:00.000-08:00

So if you all haven't noticed it has been a while since I have posted and now that I am finally getting ready to I have managed to loose all of my contacts. So if you were on my contact list would you be so kind as to leave me your blog page address in the comments box that would be great. So I can put you back in on my page.

Just Checkn' In

2007-10-13T17:41:00.000-07:00

Hello to you all. I thought that you would be impressed that I actually posted again and that I have spent a little time on my blog page. I have listed the links to the sites that I got the stuff from for this little project of mine. If you have any questions or problems let me know. I got these sites from a friend at work, then she had to help me get it to work. I know that most of you are better at computers than I am, but if I can help let me know.

Everything here on the home front is good. Jed is off hunting this weekend (he doesn't have a tag or gun, but he is more just playin with the boys.) and the girls and I are just hanging at home. Hope all is well with everyone.

Ty Ty

2007-10-09T16:36:00.000-07:00

Well now for Tylee Jo. She keeps me on my toes at all times. She is afaird of nothing or no one. When she gets in trouble she just looks at you like "what do you want". She is a little climber also. In my pantry I have shelves that are at least 6 foot tall and the other day I found her on the top shelf getting herself some fruit snacks. Now the door has a lock on it. She is twice as stubborn as McKaily and hot tempered like her mom. She is my little sunshine though. She makes me laugh when I am down and she is very loving. She always is telling me I lub jou mom. I melts my heart. I don't work on Fridays and the other day I said you don't have to go to Becci's tomorrow, I will be home and she was really sad. She wanted to go to Becci's. It made me sad and happy at the sametime. She feels at home there, so that is good.

McKaily's Next

2007-10-09T16:23:00.002-07:00

(Fell off the back of the four wheeler)

McKaily, what is there to say about McKaily except she is just like her dad, black eye's and all. She loves the outdoors and getting dirty. She is now in second grade and doesn't like the student teacher at ALL! That makes it tough for mom and dad because she doesn't do her work at school as well as she should. At home she does fine, but not at school. The teacher has been kinda pickin' on her, so you can imagine how well her mom reacted to that. I had a nice visit with the teacher about the student teacher and McKaily says that is has been better. She isn't taking dance this year, but we are looking for a gymnastic place to enroll her. She really likes the monkey bars at school and enjoys teasing the boys at recess, or rather beating them up. I have to remind her sometimes that boys aren't really fond of being beat up by girls. She has been a real joy to have her help us in the yard this summer.

Now on to Braily

2007-10-09T16:20:00.001-07:00

We will now move on to Braily. She is quite the little social butterfly.(Don't know where she got that from) She has a lot of friends and stays very busy trying to keep them all happy. This summer her best friend from Cedar came up and stayed with us for a week. We went to Yellowstone for a few days. We had a lot of people think they were twins, they look a bit a like, but act just a like. Which was really a challenge for her mother because twice the Braily is really hard to do. She is in a Ballroom dance group in which she is naturally talented. She tried out for the team and there were 52 girls that tried out and only 23 made it so we were really excited. She loves school this year and is enjoying having very little homework. Her teacher is Mr. Kiefner, there are about 18-19 boys and 7-8 girls is all. So she is always surrounded by boys, which she says she doesn't like, but she likes all the attention.

JAYLEE MORGAN

2007-10-09T16:18:00.001-07:00

Jaylee Morgan as she usually gets refered to these days because she has forgotten how to use her ears. We have a lesson often on what did God give you ears for, to listen. She is in kintergarten and hates to get up in the mornings. School starts here at 7:50 so the girls are up at 6:20 every moring and she is alway the last to rise and the one crying when she gets on the bus. (I try and understand because I hate mornings just as bad.) When she comes home though she says she loves it and acts like it was never a problem to get up. She has started going to our neighbors house when she gets off the bus because I(Amber) have got another job. There she does more school stuff because our neighbor is home schooling her 6 year old until he gets into the charter school her other kids go to. She enjoys it over there, except when her ears break. She keeps us on our toes and we love her for that.

Well Here We Go!

2007-10-08T17:25:00.000-07:00

So here is our first official blog. I am not sure what you all want to here about, but here goes. So I have e-mailed some of you about buying raffle tickets if you are interested please let me know ASAP. Thanks.

Well here is a little about what has been happen' here in Idaho. Jed is working at Diversified and is enjoying it better than he was Rigby Steel. He is the second counsoler in the Elders Quarm. He is trying to help get it turned around into the right direction. He thought home teaching numbers were low in Cedar, but they are high compared to here. It is in the single percentage. Sad, really sad. He get really frustrated about it.

Hello All

2007-10-06T20:51:00.001-07:00

Okay Susy-Q here I am. I have now started a blog page for us here in Idaho. I will post something more tomorrow maybe even a picture or two. Hello Bonnie Lou.
