Update Time

Wow!! It has been a while since I have been on here! Sorry!! Wish I was better at updating this. it has been a crazy year....started with lots of traveling while my mom was in the hospital in FL, contiuned with the craziness of the baseball season, summer fun, taking care of mom, birthdays, trips, football and entering the life of middle school.

Brad is loving middle school. He is doing awesome in his classes, made the basketball team, and is becoming quite the young man. He had a dramatic PAL football season with breaking his foot the week before the first game. He was able to make it back in time for play offs but was bummed to miss most of the season.

Jake is doing great in fourth grade and is trying out alot of new things. He was the quarterback on the PAL football team, has a solo in the church Christmas play/musical, took a comedy improv class, is a student council class representative and looks forward to playing Y basketball and continuing with his comedy improv class.

Brittany is doing well at school as well. She is growing so quickly and is understanding more and more each day. She has been fighting some health issues but we are working on getting her healthy again. She is a beautiful young girl.

Shannon is back on day shift now which makes our schedule a little more chaotic but will be better for his health. He is dealing with 2 bulging discs right now with some cortizone injections and chiropractic care.

Me, well busy as usual with the 3 kids, my mom and work. Thougtht I would add a few pics we took this fall.

Easter with Nana

Got to spend a little time with Papa too!

Who knew they could be so creative!

Arrivin at the beach

Mom was so happy to see us!!

Well, it has been quite a year of traveling on my part to help care for my mother in Florida. We have had many ups and downs to say the least. I was really fortunate to be able to take the boys down for a visit over Easter weekend and suprise my mom. We had so much fun visiting with her and lifting her spirits. We were also able to enjoy a day at the beach. What a blessing it was to have quality time with just the boys and watch them enjoy doing something so out of the ordinary for them. They really enjoyed it too!!

Sledding!!

Well, the kids finally convinced me to go sledding with them today. Sledding is not high on my list of things I want to do but Brittany and the boys were really wanting to go today. It turned out to be the perfect day for sledding...sun shining, no wind and lots of snow. We headed to Shoaff Park and it turned out to be a fun afternoon. We were all surprised at how much Brittany enjoyed the sledding. She could hardly wait to go down each and everytime whether it be with someone or alone. She even managed to walk up the hill each time when she was done. I am so glad we decided to go today!!!
