Christmas

We have had a fast couple of weeks. I was gliding along volunteering in class rooms for the kids and then I tuned around and it was Christmas. I whipped up Christmas goodies and then we had Christmas with Ron before he went back to work. Hayley had a half day of school Monday Ron left and I thought I could rest and relax but I had like 2 min. and then it was Christmas eve. It got better though. The kids and I went to Ron's brother's house and had so much fun. We just relaxed and ate opened presents again and spent time enjoying the holiday. Sally (sister-in-law) commented on how having the kids around kept everything exciting. Just having their girls they tend to miss the energy that a 6 yr old 4 yr old and 3 yr old have for hours on end.

It got me thinking if she missed it I wonder how much longer I have before I realize I miss it. I am so thankful for my kids and love them so much. Even when they are puking or ripping the play room apart. I find that everyday they are with me I love them even more. Hard to believe but it is so true.

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
Love
Jeannette

I've been obsessed


It seems like forever the last time I wrote. I feel like I am letting you all down. I have an excuse not a good one but an excuse just the same. I have been obsessed literally. I was encouraged to read a little book named twilight and I have been spending all my free time reading instead of writing and checking my e-mail and being a normal person. It is pretty funny. I am now finish with the third book and the only reason I am updating now is because I don't have the 4th book to read. Plus I haven't written for so long I felt everyone deserved a little update.

Ron got moved to a Rig in North Dakota. That is his news. Hayley is doing so good. After I quit expecting things she healed very quickly or what seemed to be quicker. I just kept telling myself that she wasn't making progress and that the things that were going on weren't right. It was after a call to the on call Doc over the weekend after we got home that I was reassured that what she was going through was normal considering she had had a major surgery. It is sad that that is what it took for me to stop trying to make her better and just let her heal. Linsie is good and just taking it easy they way she always does. Jackson is getting bigger everyday it is amazing how big he is getting.

We had a really good Thanksgiving. We spent it with Ron's family and it was great just to spend time with everyone. The kids got to play with their cousins that they don't see very often. Above is a picture of all Ron's siblings and there kids. Also Ron's dad.

Recently we have been battling a flu bug of sorts. The kids were sick on Sat. night and over Sun. morning. They seem to be recovering and now it is time to deep clean everything from the ground up not the most fun thing but a very important thing.
I hope all of you are doing well and hopefully I can keep up with this better. Instead of every three weeks.

Hayley is doing well

Hayley is on the mend. She makes improvements everyday. After a really frustrating weekend for me we have settled into a schedule of sorts and Hayley is adjusting back to normal. We are so blessed to have so much help from family and friends. I was a relief to know that Jack and Linsie were well cared for and I could focus on helping Hayley. Thank you also for the prayers.

Hayley is looking forward to returning to school and we are shooting for thurs. or friday.

we will keep everyone posted
Love the Bergs

October went so fast

We have had such a good month it seems to have flown by so fast. I have been busy with church and even though It was fun to get to do all of it I am so happy to just be done. Ron drew out an Antelope tag this year so for the last couple of days it has been hunt hunt hunt. Good news we will have some Antelope now. Ron was really excited. After 2 days of little satisfaction then there was this great payoff. I was excited plus it was the last day he could harvest. Tomorrow He and his brothers will go hunting for some deer. It will be great to have a little of that in the freezer as well. Jackson turned 3 on the 25th. We kept asking him what he wanted to do for his birthday. His reply was to go to pizza hut and have pizza with everybody. Who is everybody "Lillie, Emma, Linsie, Hayley, Mom, Dad, Sid, Robbie, Holly, and she can bring Kennon, and Aaron, Stacy, Abby and will they bring baby Becca too? " So we did. It was so fun and Jack loved it. It was just what he wanted and he is already planning next year. The kids had a good Halloween too. Jack was Indiana Jones and the girls were black cats. They were so cute people would say what cute kitties and then Jack would pipe up," I'm Indiana Jones" It was funny. We trick or treated in our neighborhood and then headed to Harold and Sally's for our traditional trick or treat at the Scariest house in Casper. Harold puts on a good show with coffins and strobes smoke and taking Ghosts. Hayley was scared so was Jack but Linsie walked right up to Harold and Said that they were just fake and it didn't scare her. She is so Strong.

So this week Hayley will have surgery on her bladder and ureters. We will go in at about 6 am on Monday morning and she is the first one for the day. I am guessing she will be done at about 10 so just keep her in your thought and prayers for the day. We will be in touch with everyone by that night to let you all know and I will post again to keep everyone up dated.

We are doing well and love you all.

It's been a while

I was waiting for something super exciting to happen and it hasn't so I guess I will just write about the things that are not that exciting. Ron came home and after a day of rest we have been keeping ourselves busy. Bowling on Sat. and Church on Sun. Today the girls went to school, I went to help my friend Holly move into her new house and that left Ron and Jack to do a boys day out. Jackson was talking on the phone and told be all they were doing. The highlight was a trip to Taco Johns (Jack's favorite). Then when they got home I hugged him and asked if he had a good day thinking he would say yes. His responce was"we didn't have any fun at all". then I asked if he wanted to go again and he said that maybe tomorrow he would. I just love to hear the things that come out of his mouth. Well back to work kids are pick up toys and need supervision. hope all is well goodnight
