Update on the family...

This picture just showed up on its own and I cant get it to go away!! argh I've been gone too long..sorry you will just have to see it twice!! hehehe
Well lets see where should I start??
I could start with the house project that seems never ending... and almost overwhelming that on some days I have started wishing why did I even start this?? Lets just leave it with this about the house if you were to "just stop by" I would tackle you before I let you in this house..but it does feel good to know that progress is being made even if not as fast as I would like.
Tyler is doing great he had his check up on his back in December and it did not move at all in 6 months so we do not even need to check on it again for another year. He is participating in Lads to Leaders this weekend at the Opryland hotel in Nashville and we are so excited to go have a mini vacation. He has worked really hard on the puppets, and photography, but it was like pulling teeth to get him to practice Bible bowl or his Bible reading...boys will be boys!! He FINALLY lost his first tooth a couple weeks ago!! He has been waiting for this day for a long time....so the tooth fairy paid her first visit to our house!!
Emily Klair is doing great in school. I am really proud of the progress she has made on this last report card. The girl is finally catching on and starting to read!! YAY! We are soo proud!! We were really worried about her...but it is like a light has went on and she gets it!! She is my tough one..not that Tyler is not tough but she is REALLY tough!! She is also my daredevil, jumping, flipping, standing, just being a monkey from any height on the monkey bars. Well she jumped from the top of the swing set at my mother in laws and broke her wrist....she got up shook it off and kept right one playing!! When she got home I knew something was wrong but all she would say is her arm hurt alittle...so I didn't take her to the Dr., then the next the morning when she still wouldn't really use it for certain things I decided it was time to get it checked out..even though she still said "no it doesn't hurt!" Well sure enough it was broke, crazy girl, I wish I had taken her that afternoon instead of making her wait all night, but really who knew as tough as she is??
They are both playing sports again this spring...Tyler is playing soccer..I know surprise surprise!! Emily Klair has decided she wants to try softball..so we are going to practice and she can throw the ball but until the wrist gets better nothing else! WE are hoping she gets the brace off this week..fingers crossed she is ready and so are we..that thing stinks!! yucky!!
Warren just celebrated his birthday!! I wish I could get him a new truck he deserves a new vehicle soo much but with the remodel on this house and the dream house right around the corner there is no way right now..we have looked and searched but it is just not in the cards right now...maybe soon!!
