I get a big FAT F...

I FLUNK!!!

Well, I guess I was being overly ambitious in thinking that I would "try" to blog weekly. I have resigned to the fact that that just isn't going to happen. I will post when I can....and hope I can get to it more often than not.

I can not believe that we are nearing mid-December. Didn't school just start?!?!? The kids get 3 full weeks off of school for break and I'm really going to have to get creative to keep them busy. I hoping we at least have one day that the weather is half-way decent so we can make a trek to the zoo.

This week is FULL and I'm hoping for a fairly lazy week next week.

Brooklyn has been going to physical therapy for a little over a month now for torticolous (crooked neck) and at her appointment yesterday we have been discharged of anymore appointments....Praise the Lord!!! Going to Fresno once a week for a 20 minute appoint was beginning to annoy me!! It was taking me longer in travel time then the appointment was lasting.

This week we START the adventure of the orthodontist....Devyn had braces years ago to fix her palate for when she sucked her thumb and now it's Jordyns turn. She will be the first of many...there are at least 3 more kids that will need his assistance. This guy is going to make a LOT of money from us!!! I was doing pretty good not putting too many miles on the van the last couple years, but that is ALL about to change!

Savannah is doing great and growing so fast...She is such a JOY to our family.

Devyn is staying busy being in middle school. She enjoys the social aspect of school most! Who could blame her.

Makayla is having a GREAT year at school so far! This month has been especially good for her. She tried out for the basketball team and was hoping to make the A team this year. Not only did she make the A-team, she made it to the starting 5! We are so proud of her. She also was selected to be student of the month for December and will recieve her math medal for completing all her timed math facts. She makes us very proud parents.

Alana continues to be a huge help at home and is doing really well at school too.

Cody just finished up his cross-country season. He wasn't the fastest guy on the team...he had more fun chasing the guy in front of him...he was excited to be a part of a team.

Katelyn--she is an angel! We enjoy her so much as does her teacher and classmates. She always has something hillarious to tell us. Her teacher is really surprised by her vocabulary too. We love this little girl.

As for Rusty and I we are staying really busy just trying to keep up with the kids!! I don't see it lightening up for about 16 years...I can hardly find time to go the the store. Well, I have to run. Brooklyn is screaming at me
