The Shroyer Family: Hello!!!

Its been a few weeks, since I had time to sit down and blog. Sorry! Life is just getting crazy again, so wanted to make sure to get a post in and let you know how things have been going here at our house. In all honesty, there's really nothing major to report....we are still here, healthy & happy! LOL!! I do have a great accomplishment to tell you though and that is Colin, is now fully potty trained and that means night time, too! Would you believe I was so concerned w/ getting day time accomplished, but now I sit here with both done and that has me smiling from ear to ear. This was a thing that many people told us not to push, b/c autistic children have a really hard time accomplishing it. Well, we did it and Colin has accomplished a task that many on the spectrum have not....we are so very proud of him!

all smiles 3 weeks dry

Brenton and Ethan have baseball starting soon. Practices will be starting this week and since Brenton has decided to coach, he has meeting's and courses he has to complete. I'm not too sure how this will go, but Ethan is wanting to play, so we are giving him the opportunity to see how he likes it. He's on a young team, so I'm hoping that helps him to learn at his pace and enjoy the game for what it's worth. Baseball is the thing here, so they start them young and the parents get into it very much...that's what scares me, but we'll do it and see how it goes.?!

A few weeks ago, Brenton hit a deer and the insurance company totaled his car....so, that had us on a hunt for another vehicle for him. OMG, for those of you that know my husband, know that he isn't much for spending money and his car (even though it was a hunk of junk) was something that he would've drove until the wheels fell off. It was terrible and I was so glad he was "forced" to get something new. However, with that being said, it has taken him over 2 weeks, 20 car lots, more grey hair for his wife, and a road trip to PA to finally find something he liked. Me, I'm glad he was able to take the time and get exactly what he wanted, but truly, I'm so very glad that hunt is over. I love my husband, but I hate shopping for cars with him. I do not go in the building with him, once he finds what he wants, because he is so embarrassing! The positive, because I stay away, we seem to always walk away with what he want and where we want to be financially. Overall, we did have a fun day in PA on Saturday and seeing how excited our boys got over a truck was pretty cute. Ethan, loved it and when we got back home, he enjoyed making it his own ;)

Anyway, we've been having a busy couple of weeks, but really nothing major going on...just living life one day at a time and trying our best to keep things simple. Here are a few pics from our last few weeks of winter....Spring, is almost here! YAY!!!!
