Happy Thanksgiving
This year we spent Thanksgiving here at home. Jeff was on call so we could not go anywhere. We took a family poll and decided on steak instead of the traditional Thanksgiving meal. We just hung out and played the Wii and told the boys a thousand times to stop wrestling.
Rebel is 14...WOW
Rebel and a friend on his birthday

This is not so much an update as far as the pictures go. I added a few that I had. I know that most of us has stayed in touch through FaceBook so this for those of you who have asked that I keep doing the blog. I will keep it as updated as I can.
Ok let's see what's going on with the kids:
Rebel- He seems to be enjoying his 8th grade year. They did the reading assessment for the school and he scored the highest in the entire 8th grade. He scored at a college junior level. I was so excited but he just keeps saying it's no big. He always hates it when the teachers say he has so much potential and he thinks they will use this against him. Crazy how the mind of a teenager works. He has a teacher he can't stand and wants to change classes. I keep telling him to get used to dealing with people he does not like.
He has a girlfriend..he met her dad last night. It was funny because when he got in the car he was like "When I shook his had I was really firm like dad said. I know I will make a better impression if I shake it hard instead of like a little whimp but his had was huge!!" It was so funny. He grows up a little more every day.
He loves his classes at Combat Cage Fighters. As far as I can tell it is wrestling to the extreme. Jeff is doing it with him so they can spend time together.
I am having a hard time letting go some. To me he is just a little boy and then I think he will be 14 in less than a month. He has started talking more and more about driving and getting his permit in a year and a half. He is the same height as me...WOW
Tallyn-He loves being in the highest grade in the school. We had parent /teacher conferences last week and the teacher said that the only reason he ever gets in trouble is for talking. Then she told me that all the girls just love his long hair and can't quit staring in class so being the nice guy he is he just has to talk to them. I guess he has started t notice girls...uggh.
Basketball is getting ready to start up..YIPEEEE. Again, my favorite time of year. Love..Love..Love to watch him play. Coach said that his hair had to stay out of his eyes or he has to cut it. Tallyn says that he will wear a sweat band..hmmm we'll see how that goes.
Ellie-She's bossing her brothers and changing clothes 4 to 5 times a day. She is liking big school. The teacher told me her favorite part is to take attendance to the office since that is the same time as Tallyn's lunch so she gets to see her brother. She is getting very sassy!!
We stay busy. Jeff is helping with the high school boys at church and I am helping in a couples 30+ bible study. 30+ really I can't believe we are in that category.
We are looking forward to seeing Dustin at Christmas time,he has changed so much...I know mom is excited about having all her kids home since none of them are right there anymore.
Amber and Kirk are moving up here. She got a job with the same company as her mom, dad and brother. If you didn't know better you would think it was a family business!!!! We are super excited to have them close.
Ok there you go...I will get a few more current pictures up soon! My love to you all

The Little Mermaid
Granny fixed her hair and Mama took Amber, Ellie and me to the show. We had a lot of fun.
Ellie is 4 years old
Ellie had cupcakes at daycare and cookies at school then cake at home. Needless to say we crashed after our sugar rush last night.
This is her teacher at the daycare. She is a wonderful teacher!!
Before the party Ellie took her typical pretty little princess pictures
She thought I should take one too

We had a really good turn out for her party. It was much smaller than last year but when you get that many girls in the same room it turned out to be just as loud. She was soo excited about all her gifts. Mama your cake was a HIT!!!!! Granny, Troy got a great picture of her opening your gift. You can see the excitement on her face!! She is so ready to go outside and start riding her new bike.
Ellie in Pre K. I did not cry...I teared up some but I did not cry. She is just beautiful..
Her walk to "big school"
I wish time would slow down just a tad. I feel like they are growing so fast I can't keep up. I have some really great kids. Thanks God...
The boys on the first day of school. Yes, I know Rebel has his eyes closed and a fake smile but I will take what I can get.
Tallyn did not make it through the morning without having to change clothes.
5th grade..can you believe it? I can't...it was just the other day that it took him 20 min. to speak a single sentence...he was so sweet...still is.
8th grade...I can't believe I have an 8th grader. Last year of jr.high.....remember how he used to be obsessed over Dragon Ball Z...he is still excited to go see the new one coming out.
The hard part is I can see a man and not a little boy.
This is the dress Ellie pick out for Disney on Ice. It is The Little Mermaid dress. She will also use this for her Halloween costume. She is so excited about going.
Rebel and his friend Ben in their 3D glasses for some scary movie they rented.
The boys make sure that Ellie will be able to take care of herself if they are not around. I think she can hold her own.
