Alyssa got a BIG surprise for her birthday - A Brand New Laptop!

We celebrated Alyssa's birthday again, with a sleepover this time. She invited her two best friends, Abigail and Katherine, and since we were celebrating again, I let Jessica invite over her friend Chelsey......just to contribute to the crazy-ness. Because it's been so warm lately, we decided on a swim party. As well as a sleep-over. The kids played Rock Band and then the older girls and I went to BlockBuster to rent a movie. We picked out two.....The Fourth Kind & Avatar. We started out with The Fourth Kind and ended up turning it off within the first minute. A stabbing in the chest in the first scene was just too much for our little group. We switched to Avatar and everyone was happy.

On another note, I managed to get through the 8th Grade Breakfast this past week, too. After numerous nightmares and panic attacks, I managed to decide on a menu, delegate some tasks and everything came off without a hitch. After the breakfast, I came home and crashed for a long well deserved nap.....then I took a deep breath and realized that it was over....Yay! Now the last day of school is tomorrow and the kids are really looking forward to having some time off. Jessica wants to do some activities this summer to keep her busy. ....Alyssa says NO, this is her summer break and she's not doin' nuttin'

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am so far behind on writing on my blog and summer vacation is over and school has started!!!!!!! The girls and I went on vacation last week to Galveston Island and stayed at the San Louis hotel, which Jessica only just recently stopped calling it the St. Luis. Donna and Brianna met us there and stayed at the same hotel. The first day, we stopped off at the beach and built sand castles. The second day we went to Moody Gardens Palm Beach and the rest of the time we spent at the hotel pool which was just beautiful! Check out our you tube site at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BMsLX68qNM for the "Waterfall Video". School started on Wednesday this week for half days. Papa picked the kids up from school since Nana is still in Alaska......we really miss her!! She has been gone for 2 weeks and should be back by Tuesday morning. We went to "Meet the Teachers" this week and got to see which teachers Jessica was going to have

It's Official!

As of Sunday, I am officially the mother of a teenager. Wow! I can only hope that the next 5 years go as smoothly as the first 13 did. I can also hope that I don't get paid back for Glenn's wild teenage years. From what I understand, they were doozies!! We celebrated Jessica's big 13th birthday with a family party on Sunday. We had hoped that we would have had enough warm weather to warm the pool up for swimming, but it's been on the cool side during the nights and so the pool was no where near being warm enough to swim in. Well, except for crazy Alyssa who cannon-ba lled into the pool. Jessica got Band Hero for her birthday Alyssa loves to play guitar but even more than that, she loves to sing. I think this is her "Rock Band" face. One of the other things Jessica got for her birthday was a pitching net. Last weekend, we spent Easter at my sister's house and my girls hid Easter eggs for Ethan and Ryan. .......And last but not least......Meet the newest

We've Been Robbed!!

The girls and I got home today around 5:00 pm, pulled the car into the garage and then unloaded the groceries that I had picked up earlier. I left the garage door opened as I have every day since I can remember. Around 6:30, we heard tires screeching outside and both girls ran down the stairs to see what it was that was making that horrible sound. We went outside and saw the tire tracks on the street but no cars that we could see. About 2 minutes later, I got a call from Glenn on his cell phone and he said that he was chasing down a truck that had been in front of our house loading up the stuff from the garage! He lost them going into an apartment complex near the house. He said they looked pretty cruddy and they were in an old beat up white truck but he couldn't get close enough to get the license plate number. They stole Glenn's electric saw, his new weed eater and his leaf blower that wasn't working very well (too bad!). I am just so glad that he pulled up when
