2 months since I have last posted!! Crazy how time flies! School has been in for 2 months. Routine is nice.  Briggs is in Mr. Howgg class grade 4 and I am so glad I requested him he is the perfect teacher for Briggs!! Nyla has Mrs. Snidal Grade 2. She is such a great teacher and really glad that she has her!! Benson is settling in nicely into Kindergarten! He has Miss Ikeda.  He is surprising me at how well he his doing. He is talking lots! He has made a new friend all on his own!! He has been there and hid friend has come here! It makes me so happy!! He is in the middle of the group as to staying on course with school work. He is printing and coloring is doing so good! We are doing lots of review for him after school! I hope that this will help to get ready for grade 1.
Hannah is loving being just with me.  She is a busy girl who LOVES to color on anything!! Herself, toys, walls, dressers!! This kid is funny. She has a spite fire personality  and can be a great cuddlier at the same time!
We have just finished football.  Briggs had a WAY better season this year! He played REALLY WELL at the start of the year but slowly stopped!! He has so much talent that boy that he is dripping with it. I wished that he would be consistant all of the time!  We have also started piano for him.  He is moving along well with that and is liking it.  He for the most part will practice willingly! Lets see if this keeps up! He loves cubs! And is super excitted to go and learn! He is also doing choir at school! A little positive peer presure goes along way. It is nice to see him finding things that he loves! I wish that he was more willing in family prayer and scripture study!
Nyla is doing ballet again and is liking it. She does it with a her friend Reese Hill.  It is nice for her to have a friend in the class. We also carpool. So nice! She is doing violin again and is doing really well. It is so nice to have music in the home!! She is helpful and kind to others. She has gotten a little bit sassy lately though!! I think it is her trying to spread her wings. Growing pains! She DOES NOT like getting up in the morning!
Benson is doing gymnastics. And for the most part he really likes it!! I think that he wishes he was playing soccer instead, but I couldnt do everything! He loved going to all the football pratices and "helping" dad coach and run around with the other kids there! HE is becoming super social it is really nice to see.
Hannah is starting to want to play with friends and love to play babies house! She is letting me do her hair, finally, and the miracle, she is keeping in it in for the most part!! She is pretty much potty trained as well!! Love it!  I however miss having a baby!! Sometimes I wished I would/could have another one! I think Trevor would die!!
Trevor has been super stressed at work. He is afraid that he is going to loose his job! I feel that he is fine.  He has had 2-3 people come looking for him and offering him jobs!! He is getting the snip tomorrow! I know in my heart that we are done having kids.  I have had 6 babies, but I love the first moments of the baby stage! They are so precious, but so much work!
We went to Emma's for Thanksgiving! It was a nice meal but I feel like we are outsiders there, No body really cares about the siblings and even more the inlaws! I feel like I am just meeting them for the first time but I have been apart of the family for 14.5 years!! Its shameful really! My ideas are always shot down and we are always really accommodating!!
We had Halloween.  The kids were super excitted about it! Briggs was a hobo that had a sign that said Will work for money (super cute) Nyla was a witch and she was super  cute! I did green makeup fo r her and she didn't like it very much, benson was spiderman. He really wanted to be Iron man abut I really didnt want to buy another superhero costume!! Hannah was a ladybug.  She was cute! We did the school carnival (Briggs had to do a game this year and he was very excitted about it.) Him and 2 firends did the game together and they made a beanbag toss game.  They were wanting to do the staris at the school to the stage but found out they couldnt have them so I went and got boxes and covered them up and they used those.) and then hannah and benson had naps and we went to the trunk or treat and then trev went with the older three with some of Briggs friends and I took hannah around the culdesac and then we handed out some candy. It was a busy day!!
I have been wanting to switch my friend group! I feel like I need more Christ centered friends! I thought that I was making progress in that area only to feel like I had been totally belittled! I try really hard to seek those who need a friend and a sense of belonging! I don't always feel like this is reciprocated! I know that there is a group of women that I would like to be a part of more that get together and weekly to discuss confrence talks. I REALLY wanted to be apart of this! My one friend was invited to be apart of this group and she invited me but was told to uninvite me! It really really hurt and still does hurt! How embarassing for me!! I was told at church and had to go home and I bawled for a couple of hours! How does one do this? Am i that bad of a person to not be included! I know that I dont have a lot of earthly goods to offer to people  but you will have my love and loyalty. This hurts just writing about it! I wasn't often left out in high school but i feel it now as an adult!  Trev and I are great people! I know that I have things that I need to work on, my patience, my thinking before I speak, and sometimes I can be conformtational. Its really hard to be kind to this person when I know what she did to me. I VTed her for 3yrs I thought that we were friends! But I feel that it is only a front. Some people can be so shallow!
Things a plugging along. I have become guarded in who I talk to and who I go out with.  We have stopped that for a while! I need to be with me and be fine with me! I do have good friends however and for that I am thankful for!
I have been working out at 5am in the morning this past
