Abbie: transferred to Gateway Christian Academy...she LOVES it. She was sure she hate it however don't even bring up going back to public. She just turned ten....wait 10....on January 15th. That also makes me a little sad...okay a lot! She went to convention with school and placed high in everthing she did which was archery, volleyball, watercolor, photography and I can't remember what else. I just bought her her first padded bra (I'm sure you didn't care to know this but when I publish this into a book I want to know....she'd also hate me if she knew)! She's growing up whether we want her to or not.
Haylie: Third grade, Mrs. Bailey...looks like Paula Deen. Loves to read...really loves to read if it gets her AR points. She was really upset not to be at GCA...however she'll transfer next year. Enjoys fighting with Noah...and gets really upset with me if I tell him he can sleep with her. She is very excited about softball starting up. Hates to get a spanking....who doesn't but if we were to record her we would WIN Americas Funniest Home Video. Still silly as ever and with her dad & sister serious personalities, this is a GREAT thing. Makes the Honor Roll every time report cards come out!!!!!!! Loves to have her nails done. One word to fit Haylie is HAPPY!
Noah: Started his first year of "real" school. Kindergarten...Mrs. Bean. I was ecstatic to get her. The girls had her and she is AWESOME! Played soccer and TOTALLY dominated the field! Is doing terrific in school...has a happy mama due to the fact he's keeping quiet and making E's! He's also excited about Little League starting up. Really wants to do Kung Fu (I think what he means in karate,but we'll let him call it Kung Fu). Turned SIX....losing teeth and TURNED SIX! Keeps his room clean....more clean than his sisters combined.
Barron: POTTY TRAINED COMPLETELY! I'm so excited, he wakes up in the middle of the night to tell me he's gotta pee rather that wetting the bed. Still going to GCA...has a little friend named Soha...she's Indian and oh so adorable. Talks constantly...non stop and is our first kid to be a why-er. Yes...he is the one who ALWAYS asks why! Thank you Jesus the others didn't....ANNOYING! Totally enjoyed Christmas this year. These are a few of my favorite B sayings: "Go Super Sast (fast)", "Weah (yeah)", "Hang own second (hang on a second)" and he pronounces his name Bennon. Loves a purse. I didn't tell him just today we need to invest in a murse since he demanded he take one in Pizza Hut last night.
Chris and I are great. I'm back on the weight loss wagon since I gained back almost all the weight I lost 2 1/2 years ago. Were planning a road trip West for Summer break and I can wait to see the Red Woods. We are about to celebrate 9 (NINE) years of marriage. YAY us! I'm hoping for a cruise but we're expecting....you can exhale 'cause we are only expecting our 2nd litter of puppies. We adore our kids even when they are brats. The are AMAZING....Life is grand and God is great, therefore so are we!
