A New School Year For Everyone!!!

Yes, summer has come and gone and I can't believe I didn't blog all summer. We were busy, but not so much that I couldn't blog. I think I just didn't have a long period of time to sit and write. So I'm finally writing now.
We started the New School year and things seem to be going along smoothly. Miranda is now in 5th grade and joined the volleyball team this year. She had her first game last week and she did really well. She was able to serve well and even help her team get some points. I think she was very encouraged. I'm hoping this is something she really likes, so far it is! I think this might be a challenging year for her academically though. Math seems to be hard for her this year, I'm hoping it's just this first semester....it's all about decimals which somehow confuses her. I think it will eventually click, I just hope it's not too late. CJ is in 1st grade this year and doing great. It's so cute, because he has real tests this year and he has to study for them. He has spelling words that he has to write in a sentence. He's got all 100's on his tests so far and he really likes school. I got moved up this year and am working with the Kindergarten (what I asked for) and I am loving it. I'm a lot busier working but it's more enjoyable for me then working with 3 year olds. So I am really enjoying this year as well. I also joined the youth group team as a high school youth leader and I am so excited about that. I really felt that God was leading me back into service, but I just couldn't tell where for a while. Then when I realized it was Youth, a peace came over me and I am enjoying it so much. The Youth Ministry at our church is really starting to thrive (your word PK) and it's so exciting to watch where it's heading. I also finally have a facebook account. Everyone was telling me to get it and when I tried I had trouble so I just said forget it. But this weekend I finally did it. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it. It was great though because I got to talk to two of my dear friends from the past, one from high school and one from college. And I got to catch up with some of the past youth group kids who are grown up and in college now. I'm so happy I joined. Now if I can just figure out some more stuff with it. Cowboys are 3 - 0 this season and I'm hoping tomorrow they'll go to 4 -0, but they have to make it by the Redskins. We'll see......love to you all!

Pool Parties & Two Wheelers

Summer has begun.....with lots of excitement. We haven't made it to the beach yet, but the kids still seem to be having a fun start to the summer. Miranda had two pool parties last week, which she thoroughly enjoyed. The first was on Friday night and was the with the youth group at our church. Now that she is entering the 5th grade she can join the Youth Group. We are so thrilled and so is she. It was really great for her to be out with kids her age and older and to not have her little brother around. The party was for the kids and their families, but I left CJ home with Chris, so Miranda could have some time without him. She is excited because now she gets to go to Youth Group on Wednesday & Fridays. Wednesdays they have teaching and Fridays are the outings. They've got miniature golf coming up and another pool party next week. Then on Saturday, she had a pool party at one of her friends house. We actually dropped her off and didn't stay, a first for me. She had a good time there as well. And so starts the social life of a 5th grader. Yesterday we were at the park and the kids were riding bikes and I had that moment where I was like "CJ is 6 years old and he's never going to learn to ride a two wheeler" (his bike still had training wheels). It was such a random thought because I had never attempted to teach him, so I don't know where the thought came from. Anyway, Chris was at the park umpiring and had his work van there, which luckily had a wrench in it, so I decided to take the training wheels off CJ's bike. To my amazement (seriously) CJ rode it right away with no problem. I couldn't believe it. I was planning on holding him up, running along side him, breaking my back..lol, but nope I didn't need to do that. He had amazing balance and was fine. We just have to work on the turning a stopping a little more, but my son can now ride a two wheeler!!! Our friends came over yesterday and the kids had a nice water gun & water baloon fight outside. Somehow the parents managed to get wet too, not sure how that happened. Anyway, we had a nice night of dinner, smores, and cards. My friend's three children ended up sleeping over, so I was up at 7:00am this morning. They are actually doing really well though, a little loud this morning, but now they are all sitting and playing games. Not sure what's on the agenda for today, I know we are planning on going to the lake this week and fourth of July and also the beach and the movies. All of you in NJ know about this, but in the summer there are two movie theatres here that have free movies on Wed & Thurs mornings. They are children's movies, that usually the kids have seen before, but it is a nice free outing and the kids love it. Last week we saw Evan Almighty, we brought our own popcorn, candy, and water and we were all set. So when there is a good movie we make sure to go. I imagine they have this in other states as well...it's the Clearview Cinemas & AMC Theatres. It's worth a check. I'm all for free fun in the summer. Okay, well I'm off to get everyone dressed and clean and ready for the day!! Have a great day!!

SCHOOL'S OUT!!!!!!!!

It's official, school is out for the summer!!! Thank you, Jesus!!! CJ graduated Kindergarten and is now an official 1st grader. You can see the pictures of graduation at www.pixagogo.com/1726954109. He had a great day! Miranda is now officially a 5th grader. She will actually be switching classes now and have a different teacher for each subject. Also, we say goodbye to the plaid jumpers and hello to gray skirts (which she is very excited about). It was a tough year for me with my class, so I'm happy to have the summer to recooperate. I asked to be moved to an older classroom next year, so hopefully that will happen and it'll be a better year. Today was our first official day of summer vacation. The kids and I have a routine planned and so far it's started off great. We get up and read a devotional together, the kids each read a verse from the bible, and then we pray together. After that, they start their summer workbooks (1 page a day, plus reading) and I do my workout. Today it started off great. The kids are excited about it and seem to enjoy doing the workbook, it will definitely keep them on task this summer. There's a reward after they complete each series. The first series is 15 days and they decided for their reward they would like a Webkin. The next is 20 days, when they complete that we will go bowling & to a movie, then when they complete the last 15 days we will all take a family trip to Hershey Park. I'm hoping by the time this summer is over, we all will be in good shape spiritually and they will be in good shape academically, and I will be in good shape physically. I'm still at my same weight loss, but I really would like to lose some more and definitely tone up. The kids have a couple of weeks of vacation bible schools, we'll do some library trips, as well as beach & lake trips, so it should be a great summer. The one goal we are shooting for this summer is to get a car. Please keep that in your prayers when you think of us. I should be able to update the blog more now that school is over. Hope you all have a great summer. Love you!!

Long time No blogging....Miranda got Baptized

Hey all. Yeah, I know it's been a while since I wrote, but things have been pretty busy here. As I write this I'm sitting in my friend's kitchen in Boston, Ma while she is in her room sleeping. Yep, this weekend I came to Boston to visit my friend Ann. She has been my friend for over 25 years, since we were kids. We don't get to see each other that often or even talk all that much, but it's that kind of true friendship, that no matter where you are or when the last time you talked was...you can just pick up right where you left off. I came here last year for a visit with Miranda and we had a great time. I love Boston! So, I wanted to come back and have a girls weekend. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful. I got here on Saturday and we went for lunch, then we walked over to Boylston Street and did some window shopping. The streets in Boston are soo pretty. Yesterday we took a drive up to Newberry Port (outside of Boston) and went to the beach. The weather was beautiful, but a little windy on the beach, but it was just really nice to be at the beach again. Then we spent the afternoon walking around Newberry Port, which is a beautiful town with all these cute little shops. We got home about 8pm and were exhausted so we just ordered in some food and watched a movie. We watched "Atonement" which I really loved! Today I'm heading back to NJ and I'm excited to see my family. I think it was really good for me to get away and enjoy some grown up time with my friend, but I did miss my family and am glad to be going home today. The only problem is, I'd like to be able to sleep in when I don't have the kids, but no matter where I am I always wake up early. And for me, once I'm awake, I'm up for the day. So, that's my trip to Boston. Let's see, what else....Well as of tomorrow there is only 17 days of school left!!!!! Thank You Jesus!!!! It has been a long year for me. I think the kids are ready for summer as well. CJ will be graduating Kindergarten on June 17th, so that's a big day for us all. He has made so much progress acedemically this year. He is reading so well. But, sometimes he forgets that he can read. He'll ask me to read something and I'll remind him that he can read and he's like "oh yeah". It's so amazing to see it all come together. On May 17th, Miranda decided to get baptised. This is a big step in her Christian faith. It's a public declaration of her faith in Christ and her decision to follow him. It was all her decision. She saw that there was going to be a baptism and told me she wanted to get baptised, so we talked about it and I asked her if she knew what that meant and she did, so she decided to do it. We are so happy for her. I have some pictures if you want to see them the website is: http://www.pixagogo.com/2897364391. She was a little nervous about saying something in front of everyone, but she did great and she said the water was really cold!! She will be going in to 5th grade next year, so she'll actually be able to join the youth group at our church which we're all so happy about. Our church hired a new Youth Pastor, Pastor Korey, so we're looking forward to getting to know him and his family and seeing what he has in store for the youth. My friend Stephanie had some minor surgery about 5 weeks ago and is having some problems, not from the surgery, but from how they positioned her & for how long so we have been back and forth at her house helping out. They believe that some nerves in her back got "squooshed" during the surgery, from the way she was positioned, so they have to get "unsquooshed", but meanwhile she's in major pain and basically confined to her bed. So, please pray for her when you think of it. Well, that's about all I got for now......I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend. Please pray for the soldiers that are overseas fighthing for Freedom. Love you all!!!!

1 Month Later

Hey All, Well I just realized it's been almost a month since I blogged. Not much really new. It's just been busy with work and school and friends. This week is our much needed Spring Break. I don't know if the kids needed it, but I sure did!! We're pretty much just laying low and relaxing. Yesterday we went to Chuck E. Cheese with our friends and the kids had a great time. It's really a nice play when it's not too crowded, because the kids can pretty much play on their own, so the moms can sit and chat. Today Steph's bringing her kids by and I'm gonna take them to the park. The weather here has been great. Last week we were actually able to wear shorts towards the end of the week. This week not so much, it's back down to the 60's, but still nice to be outside. I started this great new bible study on Monday nights. It's called "Discerning the voice of God", How to recognize when God speaks. The author is Priscilla Shirer and I really like her. I'm glad to finally be back in a bible study....I love it!! When school starts back up I will be assisting one of the teachers with putting together a Softball Team. It's really hard to do for our school, because getting fields to play on is tough. But we were invited to play in a tournament and a scrimmage, so we're going to try to get a team organized. We'll start practicing next week on Monday, Wed, & Fridays. I'm looking forward to it. We'll have a scrimmage on May 19th and then a tournamenton May 31st. The kids got their report cards last week and both made the honor roll. They really are doing well in school. Miranda just started working with fractions, so that will be a challenge (for both of us). It's funny how things come back to you, it takes a minute, but they do. Speaking of that, I need to practice with her over the break. I guess I'd better get to it. Anyway, just wanted to get a quick blog in. I'm going to Boston over Memorial Day weekend to see my friend. It'll be a great girls weekend, I love Boston. Hope you all have a great day!!!

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter everyone!!!! I know Easter was yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to write so I wanted to make sure I acknowledge it today. What a great day we had yesterday. Church was really good!! The music was great and the message was great as well. Pastor talked about "The God of the Third Day". How the first day was very dark, because it was when Jesus died, and day two was spent waiting, not sure what was going to happen, but DAY THREE....that's when He rose and gave us hope and a new life!!! It was so easy to relate to our lives, we all have those days that are really dark (been there plenty), then the days spent waiting and not knowing what's going on, but then there's always that day when Hope comes in and things look up....that's the God of the Third Day. Thank you Jesus, for raising yourself from the dead and giving me HOPE!!! Hallelujah!!! So anyway, we had a nice day. We went to our friend Steph's (well really they're family)house after church and had a nice dinner and played some games. We met some new friends, Krista & Jima and their family who came to dinner as well. It was a beautiful day. What is even more beautiful, is that the kids and I are off from school today!! Easter Monday....just one of the many benefits of going to a Christian School!! So, I got up made breakfast for the kids, downloaded some pictures, sent some email and I'm about to get on the treadmill when I finish this. On another note....The 21 days of no complaining challenge finished today!! Miranda passed with flying colors, I am not so sure about myself, I may need to add a few more days for me LOL. Actually, as I told Miranda, it's not an attitude we should have for only 21 days, but an ongoing process that we should be working on. So, that's what we're going to do.....be aware of our complaining and stop ourselves before we start. Miranda still gets her reward though....she settled for a new Webkinz rather than a trip to American Girl Doll. Easier and less expensive for me! I'm really proud of her though, she really rose up to the challenge. Maybe she is becoming mature....is that a good thing or a bad thing....I'll have to let you know. Okay...well have an AWESOME day everyone!!

21 Days

So they say it takes 21 Days to either break an old habit or start a new one. I was reading about this Pastor who challenged his congregation to go 21 days without complaining and I thought that was a challenge. I don't think most of my friends would say that I'm a complainer, but if you ask my husband I think he would say I am. I do tend to complain a lot at home, so I thought it would be a good challenge for me. I decide to include Miranda in this challenge, because she too is quite the complainer. It's been 12 days so far and I must say, she's been doing much better than I have. I'm trying, but it's pretty hard. I do find myself catching myself when I start to complain and then I stop myself. I'm much more aware of it now, but it may take me longer than 21 days. Miranda however will get a trip to American Girl Place once her 21 days is up because she has done great. I'll keep you posted how that's going, keep me in your prayers. Well, it's been a couple weeks since I wrote but there's really not much going on. School, work, church, etc. I did update the blog a little though, under the "Songs that I'm feeling" I added a new song and I realized that I could add the link as well. So all you have to do is click on the link and it will play the song from you.tube. How cool is that. So, that's about it for now. I hope you all enjoy the day! Love you.

It's too early to be up on a Saturday!!!!

Hello my friends. Yes, it is too early to be up. I've actually been up since 5:00am when Chris' alarm clock went off. We got a little bit of snow last night and he had to go in to work early this morning to take care of it!! But I have this problem that once I'm awake, I can't get back to sleep!!!! So, here I am on the computer. It's actually nice though, because it's quiet and there are no interuptions. Let's fill you in on what's going on..........................
Well, since my last entry, CJ had his birthday and turned 6 years old. We had a little party at the house and 2 of his friends stayed for a sleepover!! It turned out really nice and the boys were great! They really had a lot of fun. You can see pictures at www.pixagogo.com/2717654221. He has also lost his two front teeth since then. He's getting so big. Last night he went to his grandma's house to stay, because we had plans with Miranda. Miranda & I went into the city and went to The American Girl Place!! It was supposed to be Me & Chris & Miranda, but with the weather Chris ended up being on call :(. We still had a great time though. She got a doll for Christmas and a gift certificate for the store, so we finally went in last night. She got the doll's hair styled at their doll hair salon and she also got a couple of outfits and a book. It took us forever to get in there because of the traffic, but once we got there it was great. The store was not that busy and neither were the streets in Manhattan. After American Girl Place, we walked to Rockefeller Center and saw some people ice skating, then we walked around and looked at all the cool clothes in the windows and we ate at this place called "Goodburger". OMG it really was soooo good. Miranda had a burger and fries and a milkshake and I had the "Texas Steak Chili". The food was really good. It was so much fun being in the city just my daughter and me. This is one thing I really like about living in this area. The city is so close and accessible and so much fun. I'm looking forward to being able to share it with her even more as she gets older. We drove by the theatre district of course and there were so many shows that she'd like to see, so I guess I better get my act together and start looking into some tickets. Now, as for my weight loss efforts. I'm sure last night's food did not help. But this week when I weighed myself I was down 3 oz. But I just weighed myself right now and it says I'm down another 1.3lbs, which is great after the food I ate last night. So let's go with the weight today (I know it's morning and you weigh your least first thing in the morning, but I'm going to use it) That would mean I've lost a total of 28.4lbs. Not too bad!! I'm still losing, not as fast as I would like, but I'm really excited about my size right now. Now, I just really have to start toning up. I know I really need to start sit ups, but we'll see. Let's see what else is there. Oh, I was told last night that I'm getting a new refrigerator this morning. I guess my landlord wants one to match the other appliance. Cool!! Things are going better here. Our family is really happy right now and I feel things are really looking up, so thank you all for your prayers!! Time to hit the treadmill.....Love you guys!

MY BIRTHDAY

Yes, it is. Today is my 39th Birthday!!!! I feel great!! I'm glad I started weight watchers when I did, because now I'm getting in shape and losing weight and feeling better about myself. I didn't get weighed in last week because I was at the doctor's so I figured their scale was good enough. According to their scale (and my new one at home) I have lost a total of 27.4lbs!!! How cool is that. I bought my first pair of size 12 jeans the other day. They we're $50 at Kohls, but they we're half price so I got them for $25.00. I was so excited from a size 16 down to a size 12. I wanted to get in shape before I turned 40, so I'm on my way. I am actually in Albany, NY right now on the hotel computer. I got up early this morning to work out and just finished. Chris had a football league meeting yesterday so we came up for the weekend. It's been a nice relaxing weekend. Stephanie has my kids and they have been trading fevers, throwing up, and just feeling crummy so I'm gonna owe her big time. We have vacation this week so at least they'll have some time to recover. I'm hoping they'll be better by the time I get home so we can actually enjoy the vacation. We were out of our house for almost all of last week because my landlord was redoing our kitchen. I wasn't to thrilled about it at first because I was going to be losing cabinet space, but I actually was able to fit my stuff back in the cabinets and it looks great. I have a dishwasher now....I haven't had a chance to use it yet, because the electrician was finishing up when we left on Friday. So when I get home today I will be able to actually use it. Thanks Stephanie for taking care of us this week!!!! Have a great day everyone!!! I love ya!!!

Battle Cry (continued)

So we went back to Battle Cry today and were there until the end tonight about 9:30pm. We got to meet Kirk Franklin, he even hugged us and Miranda got to meet and take pictures with this band "Unhindered" which was Amazing. They were really great. Chris got to meet David Tyree and get his autograph. We all had an amazing time. You can check out the pictures at www.pixagogo.com/5749664125. Have a great day!!!

BattleCry

Hey everyone. It's been a while since the last blog, so I apologize. I've had a lot of stuff going on. Well, first note when I went to weight watchers on last Tues they said I gained 8 ounces. Which I'm not suprised because I had been eating like crazy, especially at the Super Bowl Party. But I've actually gone down since then, so I'm still doing okay. My friend Stephanie bought me a scale for an early birthday present and I'm so thrilled. She is so good to me. Don't know what I'll do without her when she moves to Texas. Guess I'll just have to move too. :) Not any time soon though, but maybe eventually. So anyways, I'm not sure if I will go to WW anymore or just weigh myself at home on Tuesday nights. I guess I'll have to see. Steph's husband's new job is with TeenMania Ministries and they put on the youth ralley BattleCry this weekend at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ. Todd got us all access passes, so Chris & I went last night and we had an awesome time. We got to meat TD Jakes and Chris even had TD Jakes pray over him. It was amazing. There were lots of bands too and we are going back today. Kirk Franklin, Mariano Rivera, David Tyree, Ron Luce and many others are going to be there today. We're going to bring Miranda with us today, I know she will really love it. It's so amazing to see all those youth committing their lives to Christ. Not to mention the bands!!!!! I love loud Bands!!! Cross Movement, David Crowder and some other bands are there....very cool. They'll have some drama today too, which I'm really looking forward too. So, that's what's going on here. We still need your prayers when you think of us, but things are looking up. Well, at least I am!!! Looking up to God for my strength. Love to you all.

Weight Watcher Weigh-in

Hello. Well today is Tuesday, which means weight watcher weigh in. I haven't been for a couple of weeks, so I was hoping I lost some weight. I didn't lose as much as I wanted but I did lose 1.8lbs. Which puts my total at exactly 25lbs!!!!! I'm so excited. If I want to and I keep going I could hit 50lbs by the summer. Wouldn't that be something. Not sure if I can or will want to lose that much, but it would be pretty cool. I guess we'll see. Now that I have the treadmill, the weight should come off faster. My mother in law has lost 26lbs, so she's really excited too. That's about all there is to say today. I just wanted to do my weekly update that I hadn't done in a few weeks. Have a great day everyone!!!

Kindness

Hello Everyone! So I thought I'd write about kindness today. At our school we have something called "The Law of Kindness" which the kids are taught from the moment they arrive at school. It pretty much speaks for itself, it's means being kind to your fellow students, teachers, friends, etc. Well for the month of February we have "The Kindness Challenge". The children get points for acts of kindness that they demonstrate throughout the month. We get stickers for every point and have to fill up the letters A L A with stickers throughout the month. Once the letters are filled up we have a Kindness Pizza Party and an assembly. Well, the day of the assembly the classes have to vote for the student in their class whom they think is the kindest. That student then gets recognized with a trophy during the Kindness Assembly. Well.....the kindness assembly was on Friday and CJ was voted the kindest in his Kindergarten class by his classmates. The picture is above. He was so excited and mom was very proud. Now, speaking of kindness, my friend Stephanie was very kind and gave me her treadmill. I am so excited. I've started doing 30 min in the morning and 30 min in the evening. I am running for 5 min and walking for 5min. However, my neighbor downstairs informed me that in the morning the treadmill is really loud, so I may only be able to walk in the morning...which I guess I'll have to do. Chris is going to see if he can get some mats from his work, so it won't make so much noise. I was really bummed when she said that, because running on the treadmill finally gave me something to be excited about. I'm hoping if I walk in the morning it won't make so much noise. Well, that's about it for now. Continue to keep us in prayer when you think of us. Love ya.

Hellooooooooooooooooo

Hey Everyone! It's been a while since I wrote on my blog, so I figured I'd better update it. Today is Weight Watcher Weigh-in, but I'm not really sure if I'm going or not. I think I've stayed about the same and I don't really feel like paying $13 to hear that I weigh the same. So I'll probably wait until next week. I've been trying to figure out what to write on the blog, because I'm really going through some trying times and I don't want to get into it on the blog. So, all I can really say is God is Good and He is on the throne!!! I've given it all to Him, so I have to just wait and trust in Him to deliver me. That's one positive thing though, I do still have so much faith in the God I serve!! He has provided for my needs above and beyond and he has seen me through so many trials....my prayer life has never been better. So, I do know that God is with me and I feel his presence around me daily. It's hard though going through this, so please keep me in prayer when you think about me. Actually, keep my whole family in prayer, because even though the kids have no idea that we're going through this, I'm sure they will be affected. I love you all and I'll let you know when things turn around. Which I know they will!!

I'M SO DISGUSTED!!!!!

They lost!!!!!! The Cowboys lost!!!!! This really stinks. They played horrible in the 2nd half. It really makes me disgusted at how they played. I can't believe it. A 13 - 3 season and we lose in our first playoff appearance. And to the NY GIANTS...auggghhh!!! Ridiculous!! It's just sad, sad, sad.......... We better have a snow day tomorrow!!!! I'll need it to recuperate from this loss!!!

What a beautiful day!!

What a beautiful day it is outside! They say the temperature will be about 50 degrees today. Which is crazy for January. I think I will take the kids out to the park, because I think it's supposed to get cold tonight and snow tomorrow. Which is more like the january weather. I'm hoping for a snow day Monday. So I'm at Stephanie's with her 3 kids and my 2 kids for 5 days!!!!! So far we're doing good. Everyone got up, had breakfast, got dressed and playing pretty nicely. A little trouble sharing, but easily rectified. We'll probably head out to the park in a little while. I'll let them run out all there energy, then we'll come home for lunch and naps!! Well, we'll try for naps. I'm hoping the rest of the days go this smoothly. It'll be interesting to see how things work on Monday & Tuesday when I have to be out of the house by 7:15am to get to work. Getting 5 kids breakfast and ready for school by then should be fun!!! :) That's one reason why I'm hoping for a snow day on Monday!! But we'll see. I must say, Stephanie's bed is sooooooooo comfortable!!!! That's about it here! There's a lot of football to watch this weekend and I'm excited about tomorrow's game between my Cowboys and those NY Giants. We beat them twice in the regular season, but now it's playoffs and anything can happen. If the Cowboys come ready to play, we shouldn't have a problem. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Have a great day everyone!! Get outside and play! Talk to you soon....Love ya!

Weight Watchers Weigh-In Tuesday (Finally!!)

Hey Everyone,
How are you all? Happy New Year again. My daughter did a good job on the New Year's post didn't she? She's growing up so fast. Anyway.....I finally got weighed in today and I lost 2lbs. That brings my total loss today to 23.2lbs!!! I still have a ways to go, but I was so thrilled. They say (who they are I don't know) people usually gain 5-7 lbs over the holidays, so to have lost 2 pounds over the holidays makes me very happy. Especially with all the eating we've done at our friend's house. I'm so glad tomorrow is Wednesday and the week is 1/2 over. This weekend I will be staying at my friend's house and watching her 3 children while she and her husband are away. The kids are very excited, they have so much fun when they are all together. It's very loud, but they have fun. I saw the movie "PS. I Love You" this weekend. I thought it was such a great movie, especially if you need a good cry!!! My friend and I cried pretty much throughout the whole movie, there were a lot of laughs too. I definitely reccomend it for you romantics out there. How about this weather huh??? It's been so warm this week. I believe it's supposed to get up to 61 degrees tomorrow. I'm loving it.....but I hope winter comes back by February. We're going to the poconos over February break and I need there to be snow then.....all the fun stuff to do there requires snow!! Okay, well it's time for me to put CJ to bed. Hope you all are doing great. God bless! Love ya.

Happy New Year !!!!!

Hey, Miranda here!! My mom is doing the dishes so I'll be doing the blog today. Last night I was at my Aunt Stephenie's house and the parents were having fun by playing poker and I was watching tv with the kids but CJ and Brandon were on the computer. When we got home it was 11:00pm and I was trying to stay up until 12:00 but o well. This morning me and my mom were going to go for a walk but it was raining really bad but not any more. Tomorrow were going back to school BORING!!!!!!!!!! But I'm kind of happy because I could see my friends again so I guess schools ok. Today were not really going to do anything so this is really fun but I gotta go so bye. O YEAH HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
