Happy Birthday Blake





















































































































































Happy Birthday Blake. 14 years have gone so quick. You are my joy! What will I do without you....stop growing so fast! We are so blessed to have you! I know your friends read this blog so I won't embarrass you too much. We just want you to know how lucky we are to have such a good teen-ager. We love you so much.

2 weeks to go!

1 week left of classes and 1 week of finals....I can't wait for a break. 2 weeks left of Christmas fall pictures....I can't wait for a break.

The kids and Steve have been great. They are all so busy-I don't think they really noticed that I am studying in the background except the fact that they keep praying mommy will pass her test!

Blake and Andrew started middle school wrestling season in Oct. They are doing great.
Blake is in his last year of middle school wrestling and has 13 wins 0 losses. Way to go Blake. It has finally clicked for him. He is amazing on the mat. He will be turning 14 this weekend. OH NO...I'm not ready for a 14 year old!
Andrew brought home a really neat ice cream in a bag recipe that we just did for family night. Hopefully, he can post the recipe soon. He has turned into quite the cook since I have started back to school. He has been amazing to his little sisters.
Leah Beth is busy with all her school projects and hip hop dancing. She is currently observing her latest school project: a Goldfish and snail. (yes another pet)
Caroline is ballet and tap dancing while keeping us all in line. She has just moved up in her reading levels to 2nd grade and she is so so so so so excited to check out the cool chapter books.

I have lots of pictures but maybe after these next two weeks I will be able to sort through and post.
