Its been forever!!!!!

So its been like what 5 or 6 months...we are still alive! Its been crazy busy. We have an new addition to our family. Miss Emma Marie Hagan! Well ill get you all caught up here.

Dakota~ is going to be 12 in December, he's the same height as me and he started that whole puberty thing...BOY I tell ya 11 yr old (puberty) and a pregnant mama dont go together...lol but we made it! His summer was fast but great. He started the 6th grade thats right i said it "6th grade". He started school and joined the high school football team as an student manger (which he LOVES it). So far his grades are all A's (which makes this mama proud). Other than that he loves being a big brother to his lil sister Emma...He has been a BIG HELP these past 5 months.

Colten~ well he's a funny one i tell ya, i smack Bryan every night he comes home and now he know that Colten has said something that i would know come out of Bryan's mouth...hahaha He's so much like Bryan its not even funny at times...lol Colten is growing taller, before i know it he'll be taller than me too! He had started the first grade and already the first week he was like a teacher's fav. (not saying that he is, just acts like it) Just say he could almost do no wrong with his teacher...but he's helps her alot in the classroom with out being ask, he's always polite and he such a easy going guy with a lil smart mouth! lol Anyways he had started flag football (which i been a bad mother and havent tookin pics) and he loves it...His coach Craw has taught him alot! He's also a proud big brother!

Dalten~well he had alot of changes this year and so proud of how he handle it! He's not the baby no more and i think he's okay with that. He also turned 4 on us and started preschool. ( that was a big change for mama and hard one as well). Dalten is amazing lil boy that can brighten up your day just by his smile! He's doing well with preschool and he's learning a lot...he still has trouble of letting me go in the morning, too many people around first thing in the morning at the school so i have been staying with him during breakfast (which is fine with me at least i know he's eating something) and then ill walk him to his class room and he has me stay there tell he sign in and then he'll let me go! Which its easier on both of us and also its our own bonding time with out lil sis! Which he loves to death!

Bryan and I are very busy...he's busy with work and im busy being a mother...i tell ya what when 10 pm hits i am so ready to hit the bed! We are doing awesome...we celebrate our 13 years of being together and our 7th year of marriage and we still love each other like the first day we met. I am dealing with some health issues but will be find. My body not handle the change of my tubal...so if it seems like im grumpy or pissy at times dont mind me...my hormones are so wack out at the moment and hope they straight out within 6 months.

And here is Emma Marie (Lou) Hagan...she was born May 24th 2010 at 7lbs and 13 ozs. with a lot of dark hair (which alot had fallen out but is now starting to grow back) with big beautiful blue eyes ( I hope she keeps)...she has been a wonderful and active baby (which is total opposite of when she was in my belly). About 3 weeks old she became a colicky GERD baby...now she has been on meds for the GERD which are helping out alot and for the colicky we have switch formulas and hoping she'll grow completely out in a couple of months...so that's why i havent been able to updated my blog! She has complete our family of seven and we are so proud to have her...We love and adore her very much.

Well that is it in a nut shell...ill get some pics to post soon! Thanks for taking the time!

What's new with the Hagan Clan!

Well its been a busy household with everyday life and getting ready for the new addition to arrive in a couple of months! I do have new pics to post but i have to wait until i can find my photoshop cd to add on my laptop! So you'll have to wait!

Dakota~ he's been a normal 11 preteen boy! We have had some ups and downs with attitudes...but for most part he's been great! His thyroid meds are working great and he's starting to lose weight which makes him feel lots better! He's doing awesome in school, looks like he might be getting straight A's again...which makes me a very proud mama! He just rejoined 4-H again this year and he excited to do some archery and bb gun competition.

Colten~ well has been Colten. He's still a very ornery and smart boy! He has lost 5 teeth so far this year...he's been learning so much in kindergarten. His favorite thing he has learn was to read. So he reads to Bryan and I everyday.... he been doing excellent. He read a 2nd grade level book to me yesterday with just a lil help but not much! Colten is waiting for spring, he's been dying to play outside with out a coat! Other than that he's cant wait tell school is over to meet his lil brother/sister...which he tells me daily he hopes its a girl!

Dalten~my lil funny man has been busy! Of course this child only sit down for 5 mins only...lol He's been helping me around the house...he becoming a big boy...he's finally potty training full throttle...but he still has fear of the BIG toilet...lol so we can only get him to use his potty chair...makes it hard when we go anywhere...so we still have to use a pull-ups...i hope he gets over his height issue soon, before the baby comes! Other than that he's been great and funny...he makes me laugh all day long! I see alot of Bryan in him and i love it! He's been so loveable to me...which melts my heart when all day he comes up to me and just say I LOVE YOU and gives me a hug or a kiss...my lil love bug!

Baby Hagan~ is doing wonderful...I can feel it growing.. Lil peanut has been very active at night, which makes hard to get any sleep...it likes to calm down around 2 and then back up around 6...or unless im walking then it decides to wake up....lol We are getting closer to the end...Im 27 weeks which im coming to my 3rd trimester and starting of my 7 month! Whoo-hoo! I have finally gained 4 lbs. We have painted the baby room and slowly getting it together! Which we better finish soon before daddy starts farming! Next week i get to do that yummy glucoe test...yay not...lol hopefully i only have to do that once! I though i have picked a name out but then i found another one i liked but cant decided which one for sure now...oh thank goodness this the last time i have to do this....its hard to think of names that arent so over populated around here or something we like! I guess we will see at the end what we come up with!

Bryan and Aletha~ well we are great! Bryan been busting his butt at work like always.... we are becoming sad cuz farming is just around the corner...so getting to see him a couple of hours a night and his day off is coming to a end....When farming starts the boys be luckily to see him once a week....which makes it hard on Bryan and I, cuz Bryan misses them terribly and i always have to comfort them when they misses him! And since im going to be towards the end of the pregnancy i wont be able to take the kids out to the field much since i wont be driving much! Bryan has been wonderful and supportive (like always) and even when he's dog tired he's still make time for me at night even if its just to rub my back! Bryan has quit racing for good...he's hoping to take that time and go fishing with the boys this summer...that if he has time away from farming! Well i think thats it for now....I hope to update with pics soon! Thanks for reading!

So the new updates...Dakota is doing great in school, so far he's got all A's ( we are very proud of him)....we did discover that he has thyroid problems and he's on medication for it... Colten well is Colten...still an ornery lil boy who started Kindergarten this year...they already had to split his class! He loves it and the most thing he enjoys right now that he get to bring home books and read to us! (he does a wonderful job)...and there's Dalten, he has been a real joy in our life...he makes me laugh all day...but he sure is ornery...we had a problem when school start cuz he want to go BAD...he would wake up, get dressed, want to eat breakfast, and after all that he would grab his backpack and he would say "Mom, im ready for school" we had to make a lot of trips to McCook...cuz he would be on my case all day! Finally last week he stopped asking...i feel so sad....i know he wants to go so bad...but he'll have his chance next year in Preschool!

Our lil man has lost his first tooth! It's only been wiggly for two weeks....We been fighting him to go to bed at night cuz he knew if he did then he would swallow it and he wouldnt get money, cuz he wasnt going to let any tooth fairy go down his belly....he came up with some cute stuff....

Something that i would like to share with you.....

I had recieve this email from a friend and instead of send it to other i though i would post it on here....i knew some...and some freshed my memories and some i never knew....i hope you think this was neat and also useful

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to
pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it.

Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil.
It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!

Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating.
Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.


Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef.
It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking


To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up

For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting


Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste
of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.

Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yummm!

Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.( i tried this one today and it worked)

Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg.. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up

When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving

To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster

Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily

Place a dryer sheet in your pocket.
It will keep the mosquitoes away

Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose.
Place pin in seam of slacks and ... ta da! .. static is gone.

Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water.
Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.


Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!

If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily..


Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair

To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2' with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

....last but not least...my favorite...which i didnt know until one day i got this as an email...and i went to try and was amazed...so i clean it out twice a week....


The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something; he took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material ... I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. Well ... the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us
that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit.
You can't see the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free .... that nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box ... well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with
hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months.
He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How about that!?!
Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that.
