So it has been awhile...

This has been on my "to do list" for the past year. Life has kept me very busy. My kids and Eric are causing me to get gray hair which I now have to dye it often. I am still teaching first grade, I hope that there will be a change in my future with a different grade level. I was actually hoping to go part time or quit teaching this next school year because I really want to be home for my children, but Eric has no job and we keep praying and fasting that this will change VERY soon.

Here is an update on my kiddos:

Jesse - He turned 16 this year. He is in 10th grade at Gilbert High School. He is very tech savvy so we have keep track of him and pray that he will make good decisions. He keeps trying to convince us that we should let him get his drivers license, we tell him. Family rule when he is 18. He enjoys sports and hanging out with his friends.

Michael - He will be turning turning 16 in August. He is very handsome. He goes to Heritage Academy. He also enjoys sports and hanging out with his friends as well. If he could he would watch TV and play the Wii and computer ALL day long.

Levi - He turned 15 this year. He is in 9th grade at Learning Foundations and Performing Arts. He is really enjoying it. We feel that he has found his calling in life. He loves to entertain people and it comes very naturally for him. He has been involved with a sing and dance crew, he has been in a couple of plays. He loves playing the piano and is learning how to play the guitar. We just wish he work harder on his school work.

Kaylee - She will be 15 in July. She is in 8th grade at Greenfield Jr. High. She continues to struggle in many areas and challenges us as a family daily. She has a strong testimony in the gospel and enjoys the young women's program. We pray for her often and hope that she will not be permanent roommate.

Sariah - She will be 14 in July. She is in 8th grade Heritage Academy. She loves school and good at it. She is turning out to be a beautiful young woman. She is very excited because we got her contacts this year and next month she gets her braces off. She is my "back-up brain" and keeps me on track.

Jonah - He is 5 years old. He is currently in pre-school and will be in kindergarten next year. He is amazing little boy. He has come so far both in language skills and physical skills. He is quite an imaginative and very loving little boy. He loves Starbucks hot chocolate in the "little cup" and loves to play outside. The only thing that would be great is if we could potty train him. We are almost there... We are so glad that this little spirit is part of our lives!
