Off Grounded

Yes Brody is finally off grounded. He has been grounded for 2 weeks now. Driving me crazy! He doesn't have the best of grades right now due to the importance of playing football with the neighbor boys. Thats seems to be priority on his list of things to do. Hope that will change now that he has not taken a breath of fresh air for a while. Today I got the pleasure of picking up my baby (Landyn) from school. Yes she is my baby since I can't have any more of my own. I just love her to death. Along with Jaden. I have the best and most beautiful nieces in the world. Cheryl colored my hair today and it looks awesome as always! I will have to post a picture of it. Tomorrow we are going grocery shopping for the big turkey day that we are having at Cheryls. We decided to cook thanksgiving dinner together this year! We will have a blast. Can't wait to eat!! I will be rolling to the pc to post my next blog. lol I want to also let everyone know how thankful I am for the friends and family that surround me day by day. I am so blessed !! Love you all! xoxoxo

Brody MVP

Well heres the moment captured. Brody had no idea that he was voted MVP for his football team. He was totally surprised until everyone started to chant his name. It was pretty cool and he was so proud of himself. We are so proud of our boy!

The latest

Not much has happened. Morgan tried Acro at the dance studio and loves it!! We will be adding that class on along with the other two (jazz & tapp). Tomorrow is Kims fundraiser at the bowling alley. Hopefully it will be a good turnout and we will raise TONS of money for them. This is such a difficult time right now for everyone but we need to remember ALL the things that are GOOD in our lives right now. Brodys football banquet is tomorrow also and we have been told that he has been chosen MVP for his division! Thats my boy! We haven't told him about it. We want him to be surprised when they announce it. I will post pictures of this weekends festivities as soon as I can. Love to all!!

Busy week so far

I cannot wait till the weekend. This week started on Sunday for us. We had a friend go out of town and we kept her two boys with us while she was gone. Thanks goodness I only have 2 kids!! Brody has been best friends with Michael since they were 3 and Nathyn was born 2 days after Morgan so they have always been close to our family. They are basically my foster children! lol I love them to death but having four kids around and between getting one to dance and the other three to baseball practice it was a circus. Oh lets not forget the four of them getting ready in the morning for school. Showers, brushing teeth, breakfast. By the time they head out the door I am ready for a nap. Not to mention once they leave I have a mess to clean up. I complain now, but I love having kids around. Thats what keeps us young. I was thinking today that for someone who doesn't work, I stay pretty busy. I am thankful for that.

Anniversary dinner last night!!

Yes another year of being with the greatest man alive! We went to dinner last night at Carrabas and took Brody and Morgan with us. We had so much fun. As we are sitting waiting for our dinner to arrive Brody arches back in his chair and tries to grab his right thigh all while oohing and awwing trying not to cry. By this time everyone is staring at us and we are laughing soo hard. He had a cramp in his thigh that took forever to go away. I felt so bad for him but it was also funny at the same time. We never have a dull moment!! I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Finally!!

Yes, the move is complete!! Now I just have to unpack all the boxes and figure out where to put all this stuff we have accumulated. Or should I say junk. We do love the new place though so can't complain. The kids really love the neighborhood. All of their friends live next to us so they are in heaven. We had a picnic yesterday with Landyn at the "blue park" she calls it. It has seven slides and we had a blast. Poor Landyn has been wanting to go to the "blue park "for a week now and we finally went. She was soo happy. It was such a nice day out. Ok I also have been in contact with some very old friends from high school thanks to facebook. Some of the stories they have brought up make me realize how much time has gone by and what a good childhood I had. Oh and I love the haircut Kim. soo cute!!

Reading Logs UGGGHHHHH

OK does anyone else have this problem. Can't get the kids to do their reading log. Thats not even the worst part. They write down (yes both kids) write down a title to a book and pgs they read even though they have'nt read a dang thing. They think I am dumb and have never done the same thing myself. OOPS did I say that?? With 2 children 3yrs apart the oldest has already done what the youngest is doing now. Sucks being the youngest. When Brody was 5yrs old he took his report card and crumbled it up and shoved it all the way at the bottom of the toy box. When I found it he told me it was a bad card cause it had a check mark on it. The check mark was for meets standard and wasn't bad at all. How cute is that. He assumed the check mark was bad and got scared. I love that story. Morgan hasn't done that yet though.

Moving Stinks!!

Ok I haven't been able to blog in a few days. We have been moving so there has been no time for it. Awesome news!! Morgan made honor roll and they had a ceremony today at her school. We are so proud of her!! Brodys football season has come to an end and he did great as always. Not to brag or nothing! Now its back to baseball for his travel ball team. Yes as you can see we keep busy between Brodys sports and Morgans dance. Halloween was a BLAST! We went to my sisters and then went to a neighborhood haunted house. Got tons of candy and Harley and I checked every bit of it! Actually we are still checking it! Morgan hasn't figured this candy checking thing out yet. HEHE Now that Brody has hit the old age of 12 he went trick or treating with his buddies. He wore his football uniform and called it dressed up. He thinks he's too cool and too old to dress up. WHATEVER!! He did not get that from his mom or dad. We still dress up when we get the chance. Lifes a BLAST!!
