5 Years Later....................

SO MANY UPDATES!!!!!

So, Noah found out I have a blog and he decided to log on and read it and was MORTIFIED. I am doing an amazing job of embarrassing my children, so I decided to update since it has been several years and so many things have changed!

We lost our puppy, our family, our friend 4 years ago on Noah's 11th birthday. We had Max for 13 years and still miss him so much! Mia, is as lively as ever, and continues to own the yard.

Noah is now 15 as of Monday. Ethan is now 11. The boys have new friends and old friends and new ball teams and are both very happy....they do have a love/hate relationship; but, I will take that!

This is how I feel almost every single day of my life! I went from working in insurance at a small clinic, to running 3 clinics all over the place: Corinth Cardiology in Corinth, MS, my clinic: The Rickard Clinic in Henderson, TN and Hometown Urgent Care in Dyersburg, TN. I did this full time for 18 months, but in January of this year..................

I BOUGHT A CLINIC.

You read that right. I approached the provider that worked at the clinic in Henderson where I have worked for over 11 years and asked if she would be interested in going in with me and purchasing that clinic. That way, I can be at home and we can actually own our own clinic together. After 11 months of planning and meeting and paperwork and attorneys, we officially purchased The Rickard Clinic-changed the name to West Tennessee Primary Care and started our own on January 28, 2019! We are currently remodeling the clinic and here are some pictures of our progress so far:

Noah has many friends...many great friends. I love these kids as if they are my own. He will be a sophomore this fall and I am trying not to think about it:

Noah is his class reporter. One of the most fun things they do is put together a float for the town parade for Homecoming. The freshmen this year did Super Heroes. How handsome is my SuperMan!?!?!?! (He is really going to die when he reads this!) Noah is the girls volleyball and basketball manager and is very good at it. Noah has always been loved by coaches and teachers and I get so many messages from adults telling me how great this kid is. He has the most obnoxious laugh and it sounds just like mine! He is hilarious, crazy, outgoing, school-spirited and studious. And he is 6'3" tall. That last sentence hurt to type...my baby has turned into such a fun kid! And we are going to see Ariana Grande in June and cannot wait! 

 Ethan has changed so much. He experienced heartbreak when we changed baseball teams this year; however, it is the best decision that we have made. He has improved and has made true friends and is no longer under pressure as he was before. Ethan played football and basketball, as well. He is a true athlete with a tender heart. He says he is going to work in ministry one day...we shall see...

 Timmy is still running the service department at Lofton Chevrolet and has been there for 25 years. We celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary this past January.

I turned 40 in April and am still in denial.

Hopefully, I will post more frequently! Things have changed, life has changed, but my people are still the same!

Love to you all!

Friends

The best part about the boys close friends is that we love their parents! Blessed with great friends!

It's Been A While!

...only 1 1/2 years!!! After discussing the fact that I have a blog that I never update last night, I decided to update and continue so my peeps can have a more detailed idea of the crazy life we are living; instead of random posts on social media! Many, many, many things have happened since May 2012, which I notice was my last post. I will do my best to update.

Warning!!!!

Long Post to Follow!!!!!!!!

Noah had a great year in 4th grade at CCMS and Ethan had a great first year in kindergarten at East Chester Elementary School. I, again, am the president of PTO at East Chester and have now been apart of PTO for 5 years. I do think this will be my last year...we shall see...

Ethan had his first official field trip...

 This is Ethan's best friend, Ethan, who's mom is one of my best friends...

Noah actually had a good school picture!

 Noah was elected to be Vice-President in his class for 4-H (which he took VERY seriously and did a great job)!

Ethan had a great 6th birthday complete with his face in the cake!

 We had a fun trip to the beach for fall break...

 Noah took this pic from our balcony and won a ribbon in 4-H for it!

 We had pumpking carving...

 and the boys were a gangster and Batman!

We had a great Christmas. Complete with tacky sweater Christmas parties!

 This sweet baby made his debut on New Years' Eve and Laura scared everyone half to death with a scare at delivery, but momma and baby are perfect!

As you can see, we have had a busy, busy time! And this is only a small part! Ethan started 1st grade and is in Mrs. Nancy's class. Noah had Mrs. Nancy for his 1st grade teacher and we absolutely love her! Noah started 5th grade and has Mrs. Cupples and Mrs. McManus. Mrs. Cupples' son played ball with Ethan and is actually one of his really good friends, so we are super excited that we are friends with the boys' teachers! 

I started a new job in the same clinic where I work. I am now working in insurance billing and patient accounts. I absolutely LOVE it. I still work until 2:45 each day, no more than 28 hours a week, which allows me more time at home with the boys! 

There are tons more things we are involved in and I will be posting much more. So prepare yourselves! Ha! Everyone in our family is doing great! We are blessed and looking foward to what 2015 has in store for us!
