Middle of March already!

March 15th already, time flies! I guess we have been busy the past month. Kyle turned 23. He went for the background interview and is waiting to hear back. Rachel bought a new car(new to her), a Honda Civic. We splurged this year and got half season tickets to the DBacks! Autumn goes in to Phoenix Childrens tomorrow to get her dental work done. I will be glad to get it over and done. Karen is on spring break this week and we have been trying to do some things around the valley. We went hiking yesterday and let's just say it's not Autumn's thing. She said she hates the hiking and never wants to go back because she hates people playing in the sand and cactus and the kids running. "running is NOT hiking". She didn't want to walk "forever and ever and ever!"and "if you run you will fall and the dad said three times not to run, so if you fall too bad!". I tried to get her to sing to make the time go faster and she said (walking very slow) "see singing doesn't make me walk faster". The whole way she ranted and loud enough for the other hikers to hear. Boy was she in a mood.

Catching up- Valentines

Just catching up with what has been going on since December. I've been working pretty much full time hours but am still a part timer. Our neighbors damn criminal son stole Jack's bike from the drive way leaning up against the house two feet from the door. We even let this jerk use our phone and Jack helped fix his son's bike. So a new bike is on Jack's shopping list. Kyle got a call for a one on one background interview with the Scottsdale PD. Good sign according to the Scottsdale cops that I had to call for at work because a client went crazy and was threatening to kill a staff. Rachel is still doing school and work, she is looking to buy a car. Karen is trying to get her license and Autumn is still busy and funny as ever. We made a Valentine tree! My mom is doing good, she is being so strong! One month ago today, I can't believe it still. I had unfinished FB games going with my dad and I still have checked his blog for updates, LOL! Signs from the other side? Everything has made me stop and slow down and appreciate family everyday!

Karen's 16th

Karen turned 16 on Sunday. We went to the Chocolate Festival and out to dinner. She will have a party with friends this weekend. I can't believe she is 16, she has her permit and when she gets her grades up then she can get her license. I'm not ready for this!

Tumbling

Autumn is now doing tumbling on Wednesdays, she still has dance on Saturdays. She only has one other girls in her class so I hope they don't cancel the class, we like to try and keep Autumn active.

As you wish.

The girls and I went to As you wish, it is kinda pricey so we just painted these tiles and use them as drink coasters. It was a fun girls day.
