Welcome Everyone to our page. I have decided to start this blog to keep everyone up to date on the happenings in our family and surounding area. I hope this will be just as fun for everyone to read and view photos, as it will be for me to update.
Well so far 2009 has been a good year for the Earnest Family, we are blessed with 2 very great children who keep us on our toes most of the time. Here is a little bit about what is going on with each one of us.
Chad was recently promoted from Lieut. to Capt. at the Fire Dept. He spends at least one night a week most of the time two nights at either meetings, trainings, or working at the firehouse. He loves every minute of it and we have both gained some lifelong friendships since he joined about 10 years ago. He is still working at Cooper B-line in Highland, he has been there for about 5 years. He likes it, and tends to work alot of overtime in the summer. He loves to hunt just about anything. He hasn't had much luck so far catching the BIG ONE yet!!! He loves being a Dad, he took Colton "hunting" for the first time this year. Callye has him wrapped around her little finger.
I am working with the Probation Dept. here in Bond County and have been here a little over 10 years now. I love my job and the people I work with, don't get me wrong some days are stressfull but the good far outweighs the bad!!!! I stay busy outside of work, being the Clerk for the Village of Mulberry, sitting on the local fairboard, and I am the Director of the Fair Queen Pageant, as well as making sure the kids are where they need to be and taken care of. In my spare time (LOL) I like to scrapbook, read, and spend time with my friends and family. My girlfriends and I try to get together once a month for some adult time to catch up and relax.
Colton will be 4 in Feb, man where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday he was a baby in my arms and I was nervous about bringing him home and raising him. He started Pre-School in August and LOVES it. He goes 2 days a week to the local Christian Church. He has been learning alot more than I could ever imagine. He comes home with all kinds of fun art projects that they do in class and he has really gotten into reading since he started school. I have always tried to take time each day to read to both of them, but it seems with school he has gotten more interested. He played T-Ball this summer and that was a blast. I think Chad and I had more fun watching him and the other kids play than anything else. He never wanted to put the bat down after he hit the ball, he always held onto it while running to first base. He loves to play outside and ride his tractor that he got for his birthday last year. If it were up to him he would play outside 365 days a year.
Callye will be 2 in Mar, and it just makes me want to cry. My little girl is growing up so fast She keeps me on my toes and has developed her own little sense of humor as well as a little attitude of own here in the last 6 months. She is talking up a storm and has new things to say everyday! She loves to stay busy and play with anything, she doesn't care if it's a baby doll, stuffed animal, or one of Colton's tractors or dinosaurs. She jumps right in there and plays with Colton. She is becoming a bit of a daredevil I have caught her trying to climb up on the side of her crib to reach the bedroom light and turn it on. She is definatly a Daddy's girl, she has him wrapped around his finger. Chad will tell her to do something and she just tilts her head to the side and grins and says "No daddy". Chad tells her she has to and then she gets all upset. I can tell her no, or tell her to go to her room, but if Chad tells her it just breaks her heart :( She loves Elmo and dressed up like him for Halloween, she says my "mosmos". She can't seem to get the El in front of it.
