Here we are...Christmas 08' Can't believe it's already Christmas..Well, here's an update on our family: Anthony finished with his Master's of Divinity (MDIV) in May. He's not really doing much right now except concentrating on his full time job at the church. He's enjoying not having school to do! He goes golfing every now and then, still plays XBOX and is just relaxing alot more. His preaching gets better and better..the Lord really uses him. We have been at this church for 9.5 years now and they are a wonderful group of people. We are really blessed to be a part of this family.
I am driving a bus so that the boys can go to a WONDERFUL school, out of the district we live in. It's not a bad job at all. I get to take Olivia with me and take Chase, and other kids, on field trips. I have time during the day between routes to shop, clean, spend time with Olivia and whatever else I can do...it's good!
Zackery is in the 10th grade and JUST GOT HIS PERMIT!!! UUUGGGHHH!!! Well, all we can do is put him in God's hands to keep him, and others :) safe! He's a good boy, he'll do fine. He's doing wonderful in school and enjoys this school. They actually are teaching them things!! Go figure! :) He still likes his electronics, like his dad, and is very personable!! We are proud of him. Oh and he's 6 ft tall now!!!! He actually weighs 130 pounds..he's proud of that! :) The boys have started a band with Meredith and they are pretty good!! Zack plays the guitar and goes a VERY good job at it...their name is 7 More Dayz!!
Cameron is doing excellent in school. He really enjoys going. He loves his teachers and has made new friends. He's going to try out for soccer after Christmas for the High School..that would be wonderful for him to do. I think he would be wonderful at it..he's so atletically built! He's playing the keyboard and singing in the group. He is taking piano lessons and just had his recital..he's getting better and better. He is also VERY personable and LOVES to build and do things like that. He's a hard worker bee!! We are proud of him!
Chase is doing pretty good in school. THis school is pretty hard for him, but he's doing pretty well...just keep praying for him :) He plays the drums, of course, and is doing so well with that. All his teachers LOVE him. He's had a few probs in 2008 though. In Sept. he broke his arm on a 4-wheeler and just 3 weeks after the cast come off, he fell and messed his knee up pretty good! He's accident prone, but we always say as long as he don't hit his head, he'll be fine :) He's a good boy...loves to please and we are also very proud of him!
Olivia just had her 2nd bday. She's getting so big. Starting to say more and more words, very independent, loving on her babies, can put her shoes on the right foot by herself. She LOVES her baths and is starting to lay down in the water with her head almost under! :) We will start hard and heavy potty training over the holidays...she's ready, keeps telling me she has to go :) We now have to use conditioner on her hair (that hurt my feelings, means she's getting big girl hair) It's getting so long and it's so fun to fix. She's a great person to have in our family...we love her more and more each day. It's been 1 year and 4 months she's been with us and the time has flown!
We are just so blessed with jobs, children, family, friends..just can't express it enough. Thank you God for all these blessings...we know YOU gave them to us!!
This was one year ago today that I took this picture in this outfit. She was barely standing up at this point!
This is today...Look at the difference! I bought these outfits before we got her...I got a 12 month and 18 month bc I didn't know which size would fit her at Christmas, so...last year she wore the 12 month and today, the 18 month! I just think that is so neat! I LOVE them. They are from Lifeway and I only paid $3.38 for each outfit!!!
This is sooo true! We are so blessed to have FOUR children, all given to us by God and planned for our family! Thank you, God!!!
