YEAR IN REVEIW!!!!!

This year has had its good and its bad, but with it all i am so thankful that i have been through it. It makes us stronger and a better person i feel. So here it goes.

BreAnna is now a Junior in High School and she is driving now. She is working part time and being a teen. She is still taking flying lessons when she has time and or money. She said that when she was learning to drive on the freeway at a certain speed she felt like she needed to pull up on the wheel like she does when she fly's. My dad takes her to her lessons because i cant do it. My feet belong on the ground i would be a nervous wreck if i had to see her up there. Thank goodness for Grandpa!!

TJ - Is in 3rd grade and is doing really well this year. His scores are above average and has many friends. He got to go to Idaho this year for the summer and came back a different kid. He is a great big brother and has really a great helper. Tj is now in basketball and has his first game at the beginning of the new year. He is also in boy scouts and is learning new things every week.

HaiLee - She is in 3rd grade as well and is also doing very well, She is off the charts for her testing. She is reading over 250 words a minute. She is so like her sister. HaiLee has many friends as well and is such a little mom to her little brother. She hasn't had that many seizures this year and hopefully no more for the next year. She hasn't even broke a bone this year so all is good with her. I might be able to take her out of her plastic bubble.

Treavor - Well what can i say about him, He has an older brother and a older sister that take good care of him so he really doesn't need to do anything for him self. He is learning how to write his name in preschool and being more independent but he has his older siblings tied around his little finger so getting him independent has been slow. Treavor is so funny and says the funniest things. He has been a good little boy and i am learning everyday what little boys do.

Tim - He is working at Boeing and we survived the strike. He is doing really good and He keeps busy by running kids around. Rescuing kids from locking her keys in the car. He leaves early for work and gets home before the kids get home so he has special time with them before i come home.

Me - well my days consist of being a mother, working and then coming home to being a mother again. I love it and would not change it for the world. my days are very speratic. I deal with everything from dating, driving down to how to read and write.

That is the very small version of what our year has been like, i hope that you have a great holiday and a wonderful new year.

The pesky flame!!!

This is our cat Gunther. He just came in from the snow and see what he does. It is very funny i had to post it!! I would have never believed it if i didn't see it for my self. BreAnna took the video on her new camera.

IDAHO SNOW !!!! LOVE YA POP!!!




I love these pictures!! this is my father in law and they live in Idaho, This is how much snow they have gotten the past couple of days. I think that i like them so much because it is not me out there. It would be fun to play in though. One year we went to visit them and they had snow and the kids were playing out there and Hailee decided to put her tongue on the chain fence. Yes it did stick, i was laughing so hard that i couldn't even help her. Good times in Idaho!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BREANNA 17 / SNOW DAY

BIRTHDAY GIRL AND SNOW


I cant believe that she is 17. The pictures were taken with a camera that we got her for her birthday.






Earings from her Grandmother










As most of you know I had her at a very early age. When i turned 17 i was getting maternity clothes. So we pretty much grew up togather. BreAnna is such a great kid. I could not have asked for better. I am very lucky to have her and very sad that she is growing up and only have a few more years with her. I dont know were the time has gone it seem like just yesterday she was brought into this world. I love you BreAnna.

Christmas Decorations

This Angel has been on my tree since i moved away from home. I love it and believe it or not the lights always work, I have never had to replace the lights that she is holding.


My snowmen collection, its small but growing





And our Turnblum tree, I put every ornament on it this year and it is covered with so many hand made decorations from my kids.

These stockings are made by my mom. When i was young they were always up and my sister and i got to go through my parents decorations that they didn't want any more and my sister and i always play a game or something to get what we want and i never win, she always got the bigger room or what ever it was and this time I won. So i display them with pride.
Merry Christmas to all!!!!
