Merry Christmas! There are so mant different ways to keep everyone up dated these days. I forget I even have this blog anymore. Since I didn't send out Christmas cards with an update on our family I thought I'd just put it down where everyone could check it out at their leisure.
Brent has been staying busy as usual with work and his garage hobbies. We are so thankful that he has been able to keep busy at work these days. (some days are better than others)
Rylie, of course, has been swimming her heart out and even competed in the state meet this year. She did extremely well. 7th grade has kept her hoppin with homework! Piano lessons are still a part of their schedule and somehow she still finds time to be a fashion plate. It's been fun to watch her grow and blossum into such a beautiful young woman.
Jake played baseball spring and fall and turned 10 this November. He seems so much older than 10. He loves to read and also plays piano, currently he is working on the Indiana Jones Theme song. He has really become quite a handsome young man. He gets straight A's, As does Rylie, and loves to play video games in his spare time. Jake is keeping busy with Scouts and friends and whenever he gets a chance, pestering his sisters!
Brookelynn, the little singer that she is, performed in a Christmas concert this year singing Jingle bells with her friends. She is 1st grade and is reading up a storm. She keeps busy with school and playing with her little sister and has quite a social life. She is always such a little love bug! She has such a tender heart and loves to give and get hugs hugs hugs!!!
Shelby is like a little duckling, following around whomever gets in her path. Big sisters and mom mostly. She is a little sponge right now soaking in all the examples around her. Shelby started a 3 year old pre-school this year and loves it! she counts the days until it's her turn to go to school. ( two days a week.) Shelby has a lot of spunk and sass. Being the baby of the family she has a way of pulling on those heart strings! This past year we have seen a lot of growing up in all our kids and are so pleased with the happy, smart, good kids they are turning out to be.
I fill my days with the usual, dropping off and picking up, running here and there. chasing kids back and forth, keeping the house and just being plain old mom. Life is still as busy as ever and I don't see it slowing down... just changing. I Love my family and couldn't ask for better kids or husband!
