It has been awhile !

Where to begin....

Ashtin is 10 and now in 4th grade and growing up so quick. He is a student delegate this year and is excelling great with school... He has found a new love in anything football, especially the Browns. I took him to a game for his birthday and he thought it was awesome !! Next year is middle school and the thought freaks me out! Kids are so mean, and he is pretty sensitive so I worry...

Landyn is turning 8 this weekend and in 2nd grade.. He is quite the little brain and so creative. He will be the first to tell you he hates sports and video games ! Give the kid something to draw, build, or write about and he is occupied for hours. He has the biggest heart and is always thinking of others. He will make you tge sweetest gifts with so much thought behind them! Yet you get on his nerves, and watch out, he had a temper !

And then there is the baby of the family.... I may have spoiled this one too much, because he is rotten!! He had that grin that's so dang cute, yet you wonder what he just did. He is very athletic and loves to stay busy . He played tball this summer and we have 2 weeks left in basketball. Next year he is football bound too, he says! He is alittle mischievous in school and definitely is my struggle when it comes to homework and things, but he is just as smart, just needs a good shove sometimes!'

I lost my job a few months back, yet I believe it was for the best. Not good timing, but good for my family. The later evenings and working every weekend is rough, and I wasn't sad to see it go . I have been working with Matt & Terri alittle at CIX and enjoying learning some new things. Life has Ben a struggle, but it could be so much worse!!! I am blessed with so much support and love all around me and I know that thing will come someday to make it all worth it ! Christmas is 2 weeks away and I am like alittle kid. I get so excited to suprise people and shop for others... It's not about the money, it's about family spending time together and celebrating his sacrifice for us. I just live Christmas and love love love the spirit of giving!!
