Me So Bad!

Catchy title isn't it! I haven't been very faithful in updating my blog. I need to think of it as more of a journal or diary and maybe I will do better. Oh wait!! That won't work either because I don't write in my journal very well either. Oh well. I promise that I will try.
Alot has happened since my last post. Lets see if I can do an update and not be boring. So much has happened!! We have had a few birthdays (karalynn - 8, Brianna - 20, AJ - 16, Jason - 25, and myself - 37) and all were fun! As you can see we had some major milestone birthdays in the group. Karalynn turning 8 was the first. She was actually baptized on AJ's birthday and that was special. She loves being 8 and loves attending activity days with her two older sisters, Sabrina and Laura. Brianna and Jason are both doing really well and have had some major changes happen in their lives as well. With the birth of Brinlee they have had the privilege of learning about the joys of parenthood. Towards the end of January they were able to find an apartment that they could afford and were excited to move. Now we are excited for them as they are starting new jobs and really enjoying being a family. With AJ turning 16 that brings a bunch of new experiences for him as well as for us. He is now able to start dating. He has had the honor of going on 3 dates now. The first two were double dates with Alan and I. I know that that may sound weird, but it really was fun and even the kids had a good time. Then came the Preference dance. He was really excited and yet nervous at the same time. He had never been to a school dance with a date before and it wasn't even at his own school. I will post a few pictures from that night as soon as I get them downloaded on my computer. I have to admit though that it was great to see his jaw hit the floor when she walked in the front door to pick him up! I had to remind him to tell her how pretty she looked. His date's name is Tawny Smith. They went to Junior High together, but because of High School boundries they attend different schools. Well that is all I have time for today. I will try and get pix on here either later today or tomorrow when the kids are at piano lessons.
