Let's Start Over

WOW 2010, a new year! We have been just a bit busy. We ALL started school again. KC is a 5th grader, the girls are 4th graders, I started at A&M Commerce as a Junior, and David was excepted into a MSM (masters in science management) that L-3 does. Then in September the bishop asked me to be Relief Society President. I actually was calm and excepted the calling. I know that this was Heavenly Father that really wanted me in that position and have been doing quite well. The kidos were all on the same soccer team thankfully because that saved us a lot. It also rained tons so the kids didn't get to play too much.

Thanksgiving week we adopted a 1 1/2 month old puppy. David named him Chewbacca and he is David's puppy. He will sit and stay now and even goes to the back door to let us know that he needs out. He is now almost 4 months old and is growing so fast. He and Dee play with each other all the time and Dra just snaps at him. Dra is an old man and is not like anyone around him, he will let the kids go lay on him while they watch TV and wants to be around David once David gets home. He doesn't get up much and David does have to pick he up most of the time. The vet did let us know that more likely that this year will be Dra's last which is hard. David and I got Dra 2 months after we got married. It will be hard when he goes.

We had a much needed brake for Christmas that we did absolutely nothing! We even told the kids that we were not going to do anything and they liked that idea as well. Oh wait, we did go to Sixx Flags for a day for their Holiday in the Park. David and the kids had fun on the rides, I didn't get to ride anything because I was sick to my stomach. We did buy a second vehicle, a 2004 Suburban that is awesome. I have to get use to parking it still.

KC is almost done with his Webelos year. He just got nominated for the Education in Action from his teacher. This is a program to teach him more about Leadership. So this summer he will be leaving us for a whole week. I didn't know if he would go for it, but he said that he is excited to do it. He just had a busy weekend too. His last pinewood derby, got 5th place, and then UIL competition for Maps, graphs, and charts. He placed 5th in that. He is on the A Honor Roll. He is a very smart boy and we are proud of him and his accomplishments.

Kay is doing well. She did try out for UIL this year, but for something different and did not get in. She's more laid back this school year which is good, but then again then its not. We are having to stay on her about homework and trying hard. She has decided that she would like to stay with catching in softball. This works for her because she does have the trash talk down and does very well with that. We have to work with her about how to talk with people because she is sooo blunt. Other than that she is doing well, just looking forward for softball to start up soon. She is on the A/B Honor Roll. She has been helping me with Relief Society stuff and around the house because she does realize how busy mom and dad are. We are appreciating that.

Bre Bear is doing very good this school year. She too tried out for UIL this year, but has never been able to get in which is fine to her. She has been working hard in school this year and is on the A/B Honor Roll as well and is darn proud of that. She has always been a little slower, but this year she has opened up a lot. She is going to try pitching this season with softball. She does like it out in the field, but wanted to give pitching a try. She loves being outdoors and is bummed that we have not done ANY camping this past year so we are going to have to make up for that this year. She is also helping me with Relief Society stuff and will ask questions about what we are doing and why. She is such a smart little girl and is trying hard this year.

As for David, well he's a busy, busy man. He is going to school for his masters, kidos, me, and now he just got called as executive secretary! He flipped a bit, but I think he's starting to calm down and knows that this is a calling from Heavenly Father. He is working hard to do everything for his family and we all love him for that.

Well, I think that is the updates. I will try my hardest to get on here at least once a week to get pics up and whats what with us.

We love ya'll and know that Heavenly Father is blessing us.
