So, I know of a couple of people that are using this website and I thought I would try it out. I figure it would be a good way for people to keep up with our family, especially those that do not live around us.
Alanna and Micheyla start school tomorrow. Alanna is in fourth grade and, unfortunately, Micheyla has to repeat the first grade. But, we would rather her have to repeat now instead of later, when she is older.
Alanna started shaving her legs today!! I cannot believe that my almost nine year old has started shaving. But her legs had dark hair and she was tired of people pulling her leg hair. So, we shaved today. I figured we should do it before school starts. I never realized how white she was! Until we shaved her legs. She actually had them shaved with an electric razor over the weekend but we did the real thing today. She was so excited.
On top of that, most of you know that we cut the girls' hair very short. A new change. My best friend, Angie, and I decided one day to just go to town! I cut the bulk of it off and Angie styled it. She did a fantastic job!! Alanna's got a little shorter than we wanted because she kept moving.
Taya is just Taya. She is a rambunctious four year old who enjoys being with all of us. She has a best friend, Angie and Kyle's daughter, Lily, who is almost 3. Angie and I think they are going to be life-long friends. I actually have a friend like that and I am helping her plan her wedding :) I am matron of honor, although she hasn't mentioned me in her blogspot. I got the idea from her and she got the idea when she found a friend she had not seen in years on here. So, here I am. I know that most of my family does not have a myspace, which I use more than any other site, and this would be a good way for them to keep up with us. Especially my parents :)
Cassandra is now sitting up on her own and is rolling all over. She is about 6 1/2 months old and is growing too fast. She is such a happy little girl but I just wish she would sleep through the night! She has done it twice this past week though! So we are getting better. Up until Monday night, the first night she slept, she had only done it once before when she was just a few weeks old. I will post some pictures up soon.
I will get some pictures of the girls on their first day of school.
I wanted to get some pictures of them today. We went to church for the first time in almost two years. We were regulars the spring of 2006 but stopped going as much during the summer because the church we attended was about 30 minutes away and we did not have a/c in our vehicle. Then we moved out of state and never went back. We attended a different church with our closest friends, Angie and Kyle, and we really enjoyed it. When we were regular members in 2006, we went to church with them. They left that church after we moved and found this one. It's a baptist church in Chandler. The church we all used to attend was a baptist church in Gilbert. I actually attended it at one point as a child with my family. The pastor was still the same. But, the church has some problems and Angie and Kyle found out and left the church. They also attend church with his parents, Brian and Michelle, and Kyle's sister, Brie. We are pretty close to them as well. Wonderful people.
As far as my family, I have become very close with my parents over the past two years. They are amazing. I miss them so much. They currently live in CO but are looking to move again. I am hoping and praying that they come back to AZ but I will understand no matter where they go. But, they still have a house here! So, maybe it's a sign that they are supposed to be back here. (wink, wink) I saw my mom just after we moved back in June and saw my dad this past Monday. They both look fabulous and I am jealous! They have both lost weight. They look and feel so much better than they have in a while. I am so proud of them and happy for them. I have a couple of pictures of both of them when we saw them. Unfortunately, the pictures of my dad are not that great as they were taken from a camera phone. My digital camera died as I was going to take a picture. I was so upset. But, a camera phone does justice when you don't have anything else.
I guess that is all for now. We are just one big happy family. We have had our ups and downs, like everyone else, but we grow stronger and stronger every day!
