Yes, I'm aware that I haven't been blogging lately, but I've had a hard past 3 weeks. While we were moving back into the house, Taylor got strep throat, then I got strep throat. Once I got to feeling better, I was able to start unpacking boxes more efficiently....until, I got strep again! Yep, that's right. 2 times in less than 3 weeks. So, I have now been given a shot & put back to bed. Well, I was in bed for a day. I had to go back to mommy duty today, but I'm hanging in there!
So, once I am feeling better, I will try my best to find my camera cord and I will download some of the new pictures that I've taken lately.
Until then........I will get myself better and will begin blogging more often!

~Out of Commission~
Guys, sorry I have posted in so long. Things our way have been so busy. Most of you know about the water damage to our house....Matt & I have been working every available night to get it ready for yesterday & today - all of the new carpet is going in. Yahoo!!!!
So, my plan was to start moving the boxes back to the house today, however Taylor had a different plan. She is sick, so I am being a mommy today instead of a mover. And, that's ok- as long as she gets to feeling better soon!
In the past week, we have had a little fun though - we were able to go up to Lake Norman for little Emersyn's first birthday party!! We all had a blast there. And, last Sunday we went to Lenoir to visit Matt's uncle Lee (that's Ruby's brother) & helped celebrate his 65th birthday. That was great. We were able to see all of Ruby's family at once and we loved it!!! The kids had a ball playing - as they always do.
So, that is our story for now. I am going to do my mommy duty - I will post pictures of our newly painted house soon!
Have a great weekend!!!

~ Beach Bound~
Well, we are finally getting our family vacation!!! We are leaving on Wednesday for Myrtle Beach. We are only going until Sunday :(, but at this point I will take what I can get. We haven't had a vacation since last May - which was a wonderful vacation despite Cole having strep throat, double ear infection and spending 2 of our 7 days in the Urgent Care Center and 1 night in the ER getting fluids, chest x-rays, etc. and the remainder of the time indoors to avoid getting too hot, dehydrated again...so on and so on. So, as I'm sure you heard the sarcasm in the entire last sentence.... I NEED A VACATION!!!!!
I had a closing this morning, will go into the office briefly in the morning and then, I will depart to pack my family up. And, as early as we can leave on Wednesday morning, we will be gone!
So, I will post pics as soon as we return! Take care!

I'm Back!!
I know, I know.....I have waited way too long to post. But, things have been pretty darn busy for the Jarrett family!
Work and the kids have really kept me busy. Plus, Matt & I helped with VBS at our church last week- Sunday thru Friday. We had a great group of 22 four year olds- they were great! Taylor & Cole had a great time too. This was Cole's first year of being able to be part of the groups that 'travel' around to different areas, so he really enjoyed that! And, to top it all of- last week, I also had a UTI (yep, another one) :(.
So, for now, we are looking forward to the weekend. I will have the kids on Thursday and Matt will be getting off work early & we are heading to my moms- LooLoo & Paco's as the kids say! We are staying out there all weekend to celebrate the 4th, and Kenley & Wayne's b-day which are both on the 7th- so, we are looking forward to a weekend of fun in the pool!!!
Hope you all have a good 4th and I will post new pics soon!
