Updates on the Family

My time flies! Important milestones for my kiddos are:

Tanner- graduated high school! We are so proud of him and honestly.....didn't think he would make it, but he made us proud and completed. In the fall he's going to go to CSN to take some core classes. He's interested in criminal justice and wants to be a police officer. Maybe in January I'll send him to UNR which is where he wants to go. For now, he is trying to get a job and will FINALLY get his drivers license when he turns 18 August 13. Yes, people....they grow up way to fast!




Madison-will be going into the 8th grade next year. She was able to go to YW camp this year, yet due to high winds, they were sent home after two days. She still loved it and we get the pleasure of hearing her sing her camp songs nonstop! Madison also had her dance recital at the end of June. She did really good. We've also changed dance studios which I'm really excited about. It's closer to home and more focused on actually "dancing" than competitions. She loves YW's and has started babysitting.She also is now wearing braces which look really cute!



Camryn- will be going into 2nd grade and is sad that school is out. She loves school and I'm shocked by her awesome ability at reading. She uses expression and loves picking out hard chapter books to read. She reads every night to me and Jaxon. Camryn has also started taking piano lessons. She LOVES going and tries really hard to practice all the time.



Jaxon- my feisty 4 year old. Still skinny as a rail, yet loves to eat! He finished pre-school and speech for the year which he loved. Jaxon loves to swim, play with dinosaurs, legos and batman cars. He loves to watch Spongebob and Family Guy (I know) with his dad.



Paul and I are doing really good. Paul was fitted with really good hearing aids so now he can hear! Work has be picking up and we've been spending all of our "free" time at Disneyland. We have annual passes so it's actually a pretty cheap trip when we go. I'm enjoying the last few weeks of summer. It seems I was on the go my entire vacation, yet love having a break.

I'm Coming Back!!

I really do like to blog...really I do, yet it frustrates me when I get so behind that I choose to just not do it. Plus, it seems like it takes forever for my pictures to download which aggravates me even more. Eventually, I'll be back to share our fun happenings for the year.
