It has been a busy couple of weeks since July 20th.  Jareth has gone from crawling every where to walking every where.  which means that several bookshelves have had to be redecorated. :)



Mommy and Jareth running the Bases
Laurana and Rosy Red
On the 22nd we went to a Cincinnati reds game.  It was a lot of fun.  The kids lasted for about 3 innings then Laurana could only think of finding Rosy Red and getting a picture.  We walked around found her, and then got in line to run the bases.  It was very fun, Sean and Jordan went with us I think they had fun to.  Jareth liked all the sounds and has been watching baseball on TV with daddy and I think he really appreciated seeing it in real life.  The only down side was that Jareth had gotten a little hot, and for those of you who have a red headed fair skinned child you know this means he turned red.  I went to the cool down room to let him cool down a little and at least 5 people asked me if I had forgotten to put sunscreen on him and offered me some. I had sun-screened him every hour since we got there and knew he was not burned and it just kind of rubbed me wrong.  but in the end none of the Gulletts came home sunburned which was good since we were in the sun the whole time.






Riding the Octopus at Kings Island



Brad and Ellice at Kings Island
On Wed. of that week Brad and I went to Kings Island with Sean and Jordan, Andi, and Mike.  It was a lot of fun as well.  I was very worn out by the end of the day but we enjoyed it.  A late afternoon thunder storm while we were under cover eating dinner cleaned out a good portion of the people and let us ride many of the longer lined rides before the end of the day. I of course road the Monster (octopus) with Andi 3 times which is a lot of spinning. Laurana and Jareth spent the whole day with Nana.  They had a blast and I am very grateful to her for watching them all day.

Daddy and Laurana on the Scrambler at the County Fair

I have been applying for a lot of different jobs, It can get depressing when you drop of application to jobs that posted the day before and they tell you that they are already filled.  I guess I need a time machine to see what jobs are going to be posted and go back a couple of weeks and apply for them.  School starts next week for bad and I am sad that at this time I am still unemployed.  I will continue to put out applications and see where God leads me.

That picture of Brad and Laurana is the BEST Daddy/Daughter picture of all time. She is looking at him with such adoration. Your family is beautiful.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
