With the New Year starting I want to really work on a few things. It is so hard to do such things though. I am going to list my goals and than how I think I can complete them and how I also think things could get in the way.
My list of 15 is as follows:
1. Be a better Mother.
This one should be easy but it could also be hard because I need to be home more. The other night Trig said Mom why you always have to go to work. Me misses you. This comment made me so sad. I really need to make a point to do dinner with them as a family but Chad isn't ever home for dinner before 7 pm which makes it kinda hard. But I know that I can do better.
2. Be a better Wife.
I don't think that I am a bad wife by any means but I think I need to think more about Chad's feelings and how he feels with somethings and take them into consideration more.
3. Do more things as a family.
I really want to start doing something as a family once a month. This gets so hard with the farm but I am going to really stress to make it happen.
4. Do more things with my Husband.
Chad and I don't find time for us time unless our eyes are closed in our bed. I personally think we need to have date night at least once a month.
5. Keep my house cleaner.
I don't think my house is by any means dirty. It is messy but I have to keep telling myself that I can have a messy house at some aspects of things a messy house means happier children and my children are happy kids.
6. Clean out the basement and throw out so many things.
Well for the basement that is a totally different story. You can't see my basement floor. All the baby stuff is in there and all the clothing from when the children were little little. I mean totes and totes of clothes. We need to go through it but that will take a month I feel like so I keep putting it on the back burner.
7. Pick up sewing a little again.
Once the basement is clean again I can sew a little bit here and there.
8. Move the bedrooms around.
This chore is already done we took a Sunday out of our time and moved Trig upstairs where our bedroom was in the loft and moved us downstairs to Trig's. I moved all the toys up there also and that is so amazing. We don't trip over all the toys because before they were all in our living room. It was so hard for me to breathe.
9. Don't worry so much.
I think I was born with the worrying trait. I don't know how or who I got it from but I don't like it so much. I just have to let things go and go with the flow and not worry about the what ifs!
10. Be home more.
It isn't that I don't want to be home. I just really like to work and I picked a little side job and that takes up a little bit of my time also. But I can do it from home so I need to start doing it that way. I am in the process of changing my hours at work so I am home by 3 pm three days out of the week.
11. Take a trip with Chad.
I really want to save tons of money and go somewhere exotic with Chad this Winter.
12. Go to the cabin more.
I love the cabin as do my children so we will be making a point to truck it up there more often this summer. Trig really wants to go ice fishing so maybe we will have to do it this Winter also.
13. Work on my patience.
I am not a very patient person. I don't know why but I really need to work on this one. This is probably my biggest goal of the year.
14. Work on my anxiety.
If I could stop worrying and be more patient I think that my anxiety would go away. But I hate the feeling of anxiety. The worst part is I work better under pressure and when I am sky high on anxiety.
15. Laugh more often.
I am a really good person to laugh. I love laughing but I don't believe you can laugh too much so I am going to laugh more.
Those are my 15 top goals for this year.
With that all being said I want to leave you with my favorite Tamora quote.
Always wear a smile you never know who is looking. They might just need that for the day.

It's Been a Long Time...
It has been a long time since I blogged. I think that I really need to start it back up again. So much changes in our lives from a day to day stand point.
Trig:
Trig is still my little Superman. He is a strong little guy that has overcome so much this year. He had two operations one to take out 8 lymph nodes on the left side of this neck. He had nodes bigger than eggs two of them and than 5 littler ones. He had this procedure done in February. Than in May we noticed he was getting a swollen neck on the right side so we went back in and had them removed out of the right side. He is a good kid now. And you would have never known the monster had surgery. Is is like new the minute we leave the hospital. Trig is such a funny and smart kid. A little story about him. We were at the race track not long ago and it had rained so my Dad had put the golf cart in the trailer and my Mom later went to take it out and Trig was sitting beside her laughing as she was trying to get my Dad's attention because the golf cart wouldn't move. Finally she couldn't get his attention and Trig looks over at her and says Nana I have the golf cart tied down. Trig is very smart and loves to have fun. He will be found outside playing whenever possible and his favorite pass time is going to the Farm with his Dad. He will be starting Preschool and Hockey this fall.
Nala:
Where do I begin. She is a stubborn little peanut. My mom says she is just like me. Well isn't that just great. She has a mind of her own and is very very independent. She doesn't like help and will do things on her own. Don't hold her or try to pick her up. She is a strong willed little girl. She has a new obsession with telling on Trig which is actually comical because she doesn't really talk. She just screams. She will take your hand and bring you where she wants you and start pointing and telling on Trig. She is such a joy in my life and I couldn't imagine my life without her. Nala will be joining gymnastics this fall. I can't wait to see her doing all this.
Chad and Tamora:
We are doing wonderful. Living life to the fullest if that is what you want to call it. I had to undergo a full hysterectomy in March so yes if you are thinking in your head we had three major surgeries in just 5 short months this year. It was a little stressful but I just had to keep trucking along. Chad is still at Borneke Construction doing his thing and farming at night. Getting him away to do anything is like pulling teeth. I am on the search for a job. I have had three interviews in the last few days so hoping one of the positions pan out. I am ready for a job closer to home as Trig will be starting school here in just a short month. Where has the time gone. My two children are such a job even when I think I may not make it through the day. At the end of the day when I finally sit down and relax maybe I get that for a good five minutes a day all I can think about is how can I make tomorrow a better day today wasn't such a great day. But with two children I have come to the conclusion every day will be a challenge. We have had a wonderful Nanny this summer and she will be leaving us next week which makes me sad and we will have another one start the day after Labor Day. I have been working for my parents 10 days a month. I love it up here and being able to visit with people but the drive is just not that fun anymore. I think my driving days are done. I feel like all I do is drive. I keep joking with Chad I don't know what I will do if I only have to drive 7 miles to work everyday.
We will be having our family pictures on the Farm next week and I can't wait to get some back to share with everyone as the kids are getting so big. But there isn't too much that has went on in our family lately besides medically. Chad and I did just celebrate our two year anniversary and he made it such a special night for us he took me to dinner at Osaka and bought me the wedding band that I had wanted to complete my ring with the three parts.
Until next time which I am hoping to make this a point to blog at least 3 times a week. We shall see. If you see me slacking just send me a nudge and say hey we haven't heard from you in a while.
Our life might be crazy but we sure love every minute of it.

Labor Day Weekend
The Klemmensen's took a family vacation along with my parents, Cassie, Tyler and Marisa. We go to Brainerd every year as a family to watch Papa race his car. This is year was by far the most fun yet. Trig was so into it. He was so cute. And said the most random stuff. Nala was so good. I don't think we heard a peep out of her all weekend and she slept through the night Saturday night and again last night. Things are going great. Everyone was going out to eat Saturday night so I thought Trig and I would stay back and use the water park. He loves the water park. We were all crammed into the elevator along with a few other people and the door opens and Trig yells GET OUT. He wasn't being mean or rude he was just so excited to get to the water park. Than we were going into the racetrack and he is telling the cars COME ON LETS MOVE IT. He was so funny. He so much wanted to ride with Papa in his race car and kept telling us that he was going to wear his helmet and race a mile with Papa. He was bound and determined that Papa raced a mile not a 1/4 mile. So we let him think that. The last run down the track Trig got to ride in the car with Papa back to the trailer. He was in heaven he waved at everyone like he owned the place.
Nala had a lot of firsts it seems like this weekend. She is sitting up by herself, pulling her toys to make noise, teething (she sucks her bottom lip) and got to go to the track with us and watch Papa race. Although she pretty much slept. This teething I think is hard work for her. She doesn't ever cry though. So she is either really tough like her brother or she is just another great baby. She slept through the night the last two nights and that has been awesome besides I think that I am way more tired now that I am when I have to get up with her because I am up a lot when she doesn't get up to check on her.
Chad and I are doing great also. Chad joined us on our trip which I love. I don't feel like we see enough of him so it was so good to have him there with us. We really tend to miss him. He has been working really long hours at his job and it makes it hard to have a family life sometimes. One thing my parents always say is they wish we would have had more family dinners together. We as a family now could never have family means as Trig would be eating as he was in bed sleeping. Chad is eating dinner half the time at around 10:30p - 11p. I have been keeping busy with work also. So we are just running around with our heads cut off.
I will post some pictures of the race.
Trig with is shirt on that says Don't you wish your PAPA could race like mine.
Papa's favorite pit crew. They are the best helpers.
Sleeping beauty at the track. She sleeps through the loudest noises.
Nala with her Don't you wish your PAPA could race like mine onsie.

Trig is all ready to drive. But he needs to wear a helmet and so far the helmet has not been found since it was bought last year. It will show up. But it was also a good excuse on why he couldn't race with PAPA as it was never going to be able to go down the track with him anyways.

Far TOOOO Long my Friends
Well I don't even know where to start. Chad and I got married on July 21, 2012 and are still going strong. It was kind of a weird things that happened to us the day after the fair we found out we were going to have a baby. We also found out we were having Trig the day after the fair ended so that was kind of weird.
We will skip ahead a little ways.
Nala arrived a month earlier than expected. She came out a screaming on March 25, 2013. She is such an amazing little critter. I ended up going back to work a month early as I am a worker these days. We searched for day cares and found one but I just wanted a nanny.
One fear I had with Trig was that his personality was going to change once I had Nala. But it didn't he loves her more than words could ever express. When we are driving down the road he always talks to her if she is crying. He is an amazing BIG brother. The kids were going to Tyler and Marisa's for the weekend and Nala was crying on the drive up and Trig says to her, "No cry Nala we going to Tyler's house!" it was so cute. He will yell at us that he is going to hold her so he does and tries to feed her and so now I will let you have a picture of that.
I am cherishing every moment I can with the Little Nala because I won't ever have the little snuggles at night again. And it is getting sad because last night she actually slept through the night so I am guessing my days are limited. This is when I wish to myself that I could have more children. But God only gives us what we can handle and I guess he doesn't think I can handle anymore.
As for Trig he is more than words can describe. He is by far one of the smartest kids I know. What 2 year old and 4 months knows the difference between a flat head and phillips screwdriver. Yep that is right that would be Trig. He had a total meltdown one day because he didn't have the right screwdriver we were so confused because he had a screwdriver he kept telling us to go back in the house and Trig look in drawer (the junk drawer) so we did and lone and behold he needed a phillips not a flat head. Well since than he has taken every screw out of our house. He took the top of his cubbies for this toys off, the flooring and I am guessing the hinges of the doors will be next.
Chad has been very busy with work. I don't think he has had a week under 65 hours in the last month. Than the farm on top of that we don't see much of each other which can make things very difficult sometimes. We miss him a lot.
I am still working at the hospital in the PICU. I have picked up some hours at the shop working for my parents as they needed a little extra help so I come and go as I please just as long as I get my work done and than I have started up Made By Tamora. If you are interested in seeing things that we make (my neighbor Deanna has been helping out tremendously.) I told her if we go big she can be my Vice President. So between all that things are nuts around our home. But we wouldn't have it any other way.
That is a little bit about what and where we have been lately. I hope to keep up with the Blog now. So lets pray that I can do it.

I am back...
A lot has happened since I was on last time..
But we are all healthy and doing great and I couldn't have asked for a better life as of right now.
Right before Christmas Trig got a Staph infection and had to have surgery to have it removed. We got to stay in Rochester for three nights and come home with a PICC line for a month after that. It was very emotion on me to have this but I realized in a hurry that I am a stronger person than I had ever thought I could be. So our first Christmas with Trig was a little bumpy but we made it through and I can't wait until next Christmas now.
We got through the New Year and I enjoyed a 10 day trip to Florida with my mom, Tyler and Marisa for the first 5 days and than they flew home and Charlie flew out for a little bit of sister time. Oh, boy was that a trip to remember. It was so fun and we have many stories to tell after that 5 days. And we have decided we will be doing it again next year. I think we will have to make this an annual trip. I think we will have to take Jordan with next time though as it was fun and I think Jordan will enjoy it also she will be almost 18 by than.
The month of February was a very good month. Chad and I went to Chicago for a Dairy Land Seed Convention and we went out a few days early to just have some time to ourselves and it was a little bumpy towards the end as we don't quite know what do to with each other by ourselves that long and he was on this kick that we were going to be buying a new combine and let me tell you I was so not on board with this. There is a combine that we use that runs and works just fine and we also have a burned up combine that Chad and his brother thought would be a great purchase last year so I was a little ticked off that he even thought to bring this up. But it wasn't just this trip he had been talking for over 3 months about this combine. So on this trip all I got to hear about was can we please stop and just look at it. So finally after hearing about it for 4 days I agree, but it was made clear that we were not buying it and if he already had I was renting a car for the remainder of the trip and coming home and packing up and leaving. I know I am a mean person. So we make it to the Implement Dealership and it is raining, sleeting and snowing all at the same time. He says aren't you going to get out and look, actually no I am not I don't want to look at it but I get out and be nice as I have been not so nice about this topic. I climb up and sit in the buddy seat and he says if we buy it you are driving it, I am still sitting here thinking and it comes out of my mouth, what part of we are NOT buying this combine don't you get... Well I move over and look over at the controls to see how different they are from the one we already have since this one is a little newer. When I look back over at him expecting him in the buddy seat next me he isn't there he is on one knee on the floor of the combine with the most beautiful ring in his had and says, "Tamora will you Marry Me?" Ok now I can't talk and like two minutes go by and I am not crying and get the words out, "YES!" We get to the car and I have to call Trig to tell him and my parents since he has been at my parents for this trip. I tell them and what comes out of Trig's mouth is a big "YEAH!" like he knew what he was saying. So the combine was an amazing adventure and a time of my life I will never forget. We will be getting married on July 21, 2012 in Blooming Prairie, MN.
Than we move on to the month of March. Oh boy Chad's birthday and our Son's 1st Birthday. Oh my this was a hard month for me as where did the time go I can't believe Trig is one already and not only walking but running around like a monster! He is so amazing and makes me laugh all the time. We had a great month.
We are also proud owners of a new mini van YEP thats right folks Tamora is driving a new mini van!
Things get crazy around our house every now and again, or I take that back every minute or two. But we make it through and we are living life to the fullest.
I will now post some current pictures of Trig!
But we are all healthy and doing great and I couldn't have asked for a better life as of right now.

Did you think I died?
I know it has been a long time since I have blogged last. It is funny because I was just thinking to myself that I should really blog tonight and than I got a comment from my cousin Tara that said I hope you start blogging again so I guess it was a sign!
It has been a very busy month. I was sick for about a week, Trig has had a lot of firsts going on, I had a few craft sales, I started selling Norwex, we had Thanksgiving and we got some really good news on Trig.
Trig no longer has bottles he is straight sippy cups and he can also drink out of straws also. He started pulling himself up on the furniture and walks to furniture. I can't believe he is getting so big fast. It makes me so sad. He has a bad temper also. He tries to get his way all the time but it doesn't work that way in our house. He needs to learn that earlier than later I think. The one thing that makes me really sad is that he goes to bed so early. He started going to bed at like 6:30pm and it kept getting earlier and earlier he is now going to bed at almost 5:30pm. And sleeps until like 7am. He started eating a lot of people food also. He eats mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing, bread the list goes on and on. He eats a lot of stuff. He loves his food though.
I got really sick for about a week and ended up having E-coli. Don't ask me what I ate or where I got it from but it was horrible. I made it through and still alive so that is a good thing. I love being a stay at home mom but let me tell you I was wishing I wasn't a stay at home mom for that week that is for sure. When you are a mom you don't get sick or vacation days. It was hard but I think it only makes us stronger. My parents were on vacation that week and I sure missed them then. They got home the Saturday night that it really hit me and they took him the next day all day and brought him back home at night. I love my parents to pieces and don't know what or where I would be without them. Thanks Mom and Dad!
I finished up with my craft sales for the season and that went good. I am glad that they are over though. But at my last craft sale I was looking at a Norwex catalog as I love their product and decided I would take on a new adventure in life. I love getting out and about with being a stay at home mom. With those of you that know me I don't do good sitting around by myself all the time. I am a people person so I thought doing this new adventure would give me both the things that I want. I want to stay at home with Trig and also get out and see people, picking my own schedule. So I am very excited for this new adventure.
We had a very good Thanksgiving. We stayed down here and had Thanksgiving with Chad's family and that was fun. Everyone on his mom's side made it besides one of her nephews wives as she was sick. It was good to see everyone and we had a very good time. Thanksgiving was a good Holiday and Trig's first but I am getting very excited about Trig's first Christmas it will be so fun.
I went Black Friday shopping with my Mom, Tyler and Marisa. We started at 10pm and we had a blast and I pulling into my driveway at 11am. So than Chad had to leave to do chores as his Dad was sick so I had to find something to do so I called his Mom and asked her to go shopping with us for a little bit. So it was a long day as I got up at 6am on Thanksgiving and didn't go to bed until 10pm on Friday and I can honestly say I have never fell asleep so fast!
Most of you wouldn't know but we went through a bout of seizures with Trig in August and had an EEG done that said he had right temporal lobe spikes which could have been causing the seizures and also had a MRI done to make sure there was nothing wrong with his brain and that came back perfect. So we have had him on medicine since then and we went back in for a follow up EEG and it came back perfect so we can take him off his medicine. This is a good thing and I am happy. I didn't say anything as it wasn't a big deal. I just have this moto that if there would have been something wrong with him it would have been fine as we couldn't have done anything about it but deal with it and it wouldn't have made me feel any different about my little feller. He is a very happy child with a mind of his own. I wonder where he gets that from?
I find it weird that after having a child I have became so patient with things. I don't jump at things so fast and I can let things go easier. I don't let things get to me so bad. Don't get me wrong I still have moments but I am doing much better with it. Now if only I had a maid to clean my house I would be smooth sailing. I love my house to pieces it is the most amazing thing that we have done but I think I have out grown it already. But I think that even if we got a bigger house (which I wouldn't want to clean) I would outgrow that one also so I have learned no to hoard things. I just throw them away! I like that idea much better.
I hope that you are all are healthy and that you are all getting ready for Christmas.
I will leave you with some new pictures!
It has been a very busy month. I was sick for about a week, Trig has had a lot of firsts going on, I had a few craft sales, I started selling Norwex, we had Thanksgiving and we got some really good news on Trig.
Trig no longer has bottles he is straight sippy cups and he can also drink out of straws also. He started pulling himself up on the furniture and walks to furniture. I can't believe he is getting so big fast. It makes me so sad. He has a bad temper also. He tries to get his way all the time but it doesn't work that way in our house. He needs to learn that earlier than later I think. The one thing that makes me really sad is that he goes to bed so early. He started going to bed at like 6:30pm and it kept getting earlier and earlier he is now going to bed at almost 5:30pm. And sleeps until like 7am. He started eating a lot of people food also. He eats mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing, bread the list goes on and on. He eats a lot of stuff. He loves his food though.
I got really sick for about a week and ended up having E-coli. Don't ask me what I ate or where I got it from but it was horrible. I made it through and still alive so that is a good thing. I love being a stay at home mom but let me tell you I was wishing I wasn't a stay at home mom for that week that is for sure. When you are a mom you don't get sick or vacation days. It was hard but I think it only makes us stronger. My parents were on vacation that week and I sure missed them then. They got home the Saturday night that it really hit me and they took him the next day all day and brought him back home at night. I love my parents to pieces and don't know what or where I would be without them. Thanks Mom and Dad!
I finished up with my craft sales for the season and that went good. I am glad that they are over though. But at my last craft sale I was looking at a Norwex catalog as I love their product and decided I would take on a new adventure in life. I love getting out and about with being a stay at home mom. With those of you that know me I don't do good sitting around by myself all the time. I am a people person so I thought doing this new adventure would give me both the things that I want. I want to stay at home with Trig and also get out and see people, picking my own schedule. So I am very excited for this new adventure.
We had a very good Thanksgiving. We stayed down here and had Thanksgiving with Chad's family and that was fun. Everyone on his mom's side made it besides one of her nephews wives as she was sick. It was good to see everyone and we had a very good time. Thanksgiving was a good Holiday and Trig's first but I am getting very excited about Trig's first Christmas it will be so fun.
I went Black Friday shopping with my Mom, Tyler and Marisa. We started at 10pm and we had a blast and I pulling into my driveway at 11am. So than Chad had to leave to do chores as his Dad was sick so I had to find something to do so I called his Mom and asked her to go shopping with us for a little bit. So it was a long day as I got up at 6am on Thanksgiving and didn't go to bed until 10pm on Friday and I can honestly say I have never fell asleep so fast!

Mom and I went shopping and Trig fell asleep and this is how he slept the whole time we were in the store! It was so cute.
Trig during he EEG, he did so good with the test. I was nervous and he is a Curious George and a very nosie kid. I was waiting for him to rip it off and figure out what it was.

Far to Looong my friends and family...
I am so sorry it has been so long for those of you that enjoy reading my blog and catching up on the life of Chad, Tamora and Trig. It has been a very busy week. Last week we had Halloween, a busy week sewing getting ready for my first craft sale, my first craft sale it just seemed like it was such a busy week and I didn't get a chance to blog. As I sit here and start to blog now all I can think about is what I should be doing instead. I have my bottles in the soapy water to wash, I have dishes to put in the dishwasher, toys to pick up and the list goes on an on but I need to blog. So here we go...
Halloween was so much fun. I got to see the Chad's nieces and nephews all dressed up and they were all so cute. We made it to Great Grandparents both the Klemmensen's and the Olson's. It was so fun to have Trig all dressed up and seeing all the people. Trig got a bad cold and unfortunately was sleeping by 6:30pm that night and slept for 14 hours so he didn't get to see any of the kids.

So that was our Halloween fun. It was a blast and it is always so fun to see everyone.
Then we has a busy week with getting stuff ready for the craft sale which was actually really hard as Trig is sick and wanted nothing more than to be held and cuddled. He was going to go to our friend Barb's house on Wednesday but with him being sick I canceled. I also had to cancel our play date with our cousins, Emma, Lou and Johann on Tuesday. This was very hard for me as I don't get much company and they were going to come here and I so wanted them to but didn't want them to get Trig sick.
Wednesday night I had to call in backup to help me. I asked my sister Charlie to come over and help me pin taggies. Thank the Lord she came as it was very helpful and I had a blast and I hope that she did also. I really miss hanging out with her. It is hard to find time to do anything these days with the two of us as we both have such busy schedules. She stayed until 11:30pm and helped me and we laughed and laughed so more.
Thursday my mom came and let me tell you the comment of the night was NO Tamora I don't want no sparkling Root Beer. She is so funny and makes me laugh so hard also. I always have fun with her. I hope that my dad will come and stay soon with us also! We have so much fun. I love when my mom comes though. Who would have thought that when I was 27 years old that I would want my mom to come and spend the night with me. I love it though.
Friday I packed up and headed to the Cities to get stuff set up for my first craft sale which was Saturday and it was OK not what I expected but it wasn't my audience so I will just hope the next one is better. It was my first so I have to play it out and see what happens. But I have faith in it and it will get better. My Mom and I drove around for over an hour and a half looking for letters for my board to display my product and we found some and it turned out so nice. Here is a picture.

Sunday Charlie came again and spent the whole day with us once again we had a blast and it was so many laughs and fun times. I really miss the days of hanging out with Charlie. We used to have so much fun. We have so many stories. Here is my favorite one. Charlie gets this bright idea that she needs to get her Boyfriend and the time she is now married to him but she wants to get him a grill for Valentines day. So I tell her I am not going with her as it is like 10pm at night and I had to work the next day and also that we didn't have a vehicle big enough to put this grill in and she says to me oh yes we do we will put the seats down in your Grand Am so after she coax me into it we leave. Well guess what the grill didn't fit so we have this guy tell us to put it on the roof well I wasn't doing that. But we did end up getting the grill home and we laugh about it now. One more story we go to Wendy's after a concert off of 35W in Albert Lea we pull up to the ordering window and order our food and get the people thinking we are sisters from Georgia and going on and on about our road trip for like 5 minutes and talking with accents. What do you think they thought when we pulled away with Minnesota license plates.
Well today is Monday and I went to the shop to work. Trig is still sick so once again I had to cancel daycare and take him with me. It was quite a chore today. He just wanted to be in my lap. But I got done what I needed to and it all worked out. Our family pictures came today I will post a few of them now.
Nana, Trig and Papa.

And to leave everyone with a fun picture. We went out to dinner tonight, Mom, Dad, Tyler, Me and Trig at the Outback and here is Trig's new favorite food. I hope everyone is in great spirits and getting ready for the snow and the holidays.
Yep that is right it is a lemon. Papa gave him a lemon and he sucked on it for at least 5 minutes and he didn't even really make faces besides he didn't want his picture taken.
