We are still alive........

We are still alive.......we have had birthdays (Izzie - 13, Jody, Libby - 10, and Jake - the big 16), Christmas, New Years, ice storms and the start of baseball, soccer and volleyball.

We are loving that it is March and we are have absolutely beautiful weather, love the 70's and 80's (but I hate the spring wind). Jake has started playing baseball at North Crowley High School and is starting varsity - he loves it, Jay and I love going and watching and the girls LOVE the snack bar.

Izzie has club volleyball and plays in tournaments through out the DFW area. She had really improved and her 5'11" frame helps as well. She is also participating in Track & Field at Summer Creek Middle School and does the high jump and is dying to run hurdles.

Libby is still playing the cello and recently competed at the Trophy Competition and did very well. She is also playing volleyball at the YMCA and loves her team.

Camdyn is playing soccer again this spring and has a great time. Her favorite position is goalie (no running involved). She is improving in her reading and LOVES spelling.

Jay and I are busy working, traveling for work, church callings and driving kids everywhere. He was so excited when Jake got his drivers license - one less kid to chauffeur. I am warming up to the idea.

But probably the biggest news for our family ...... We turned OFF the TV. Jay and I had lost patience with the kids and not getting homework done so the TV came off, until the NCAA tournament but we have decided that there will be no TV during the week and limited on the weekends. It has been a very good thing and really not missed at all. Who knew?
