Very Proud!..or Maybe not!

This week we had Parent Teacher Conference. Jordan is doing wonderful in School~ she has always been a little behind in her reading, But I think she finally got it! Her scores were very High and she is reading at almost a 8th grade level!! Her grades all are very good and she loves school! She hates to miss and if she is sick she will cry because I make her stay home. There are a few Times I have gone to the school and get her work so she would not get behind. I hope she keep up loving school as she gets older~ we will see!
Now Tanner on the other hand.. Maybe not the proudest Mom moment at his Parent Teacher! He isn't getting the best of grades and not really applying him self. His Teacher is super sweet and tired to say it as nice as she could, But I am not dumb I could tell she was a little frustrated with him. I think he will be doing better once Dad found out and he found out that he couldn't take his football to school until we got a better report. She did say that when he wants to do the work he does really well and he is a Smart kid. Just playing with friends and Football sound like a better time to him, And not School work! Lets hope this will change soon~ or else its going to be a long 9years of School for him!
The Kids also had bowling again this Saturday and Tanner got a 106 thats 50 pins above his average!
Jordan had her first Young Womens basketball game and the killed the other team the score was 56-18!
Well I guess it's good I had more PROUD moments then not proud!

Another Week

Wow this week would never end and the Weekend went way to fast! {that's how it always goes}
So Jordan & Tanner are on a bowling league that is every Saturday morning from 10-12 They have so much fun and are getting pretty good at bowling. Tanner gets pretty tired by the 3rd game, but he is getting better. Jordan just got her own ball, the girl that she bowls with got a new ball for Christmas and gave Jordan her old one. So now she has to get used to using a nice ball and not a house ball that kids just beat up ;) This week they had to Pre-bowl which means they bowl before Saturday and there scores count like they were there. Since I was running a race and Jordan had been asked to babysit for the neighbor. So this last Saturday I ran a 5K, I have been trying to do 1 a month since last June. I have done pretty good. Missed a few months but trying to get back on track. So I found a race for January and asked anyone to join me. I was about to bail on the race when one of the girls I had asked to join me, told me she was all signed up and ready to run. Now I had to run~Well the weather on friday was like 50 degrees and so nice. But Saturday Morning it was not so nice~ it was raining and while we were waiting for them to start the race it started to hail. Lucky for me and the other runners it stopped hailing. But the rain continued... So off we went to run 3.2 miles in the rain. I kept my coat on because it was pretty cold and wet, Well that was a mistake and I was so hot. It made my time to the finish not the best~ but HEY I finished!

Sunday Again..

We made it threw another week! Today we are getting ready to go bid farewell to Our Niece/cousin Michelle Tidwell. She is getting ready to Leave for 18months on a mission to Germany. We are so proud of her for her choice to serve Our Heavenly Father and Teach the People of Germany. Mark and I would like to plan a Trip to Germany while she is there and Visit her. We will see if we can pull it off. Mark has always wanted to Visit Germany and I am game to go on a Vacation! Good Luck Michelle~ we know you will do great!

This week we have had some pretty nice weather is kinda weird. It should be snowing, Not 50degrees. But I think that its is all going to change. Snow is on its way, Just in time for the kids to have a day off of school. Hopefully there will be enough snow for them to enjoy it. and not just be cold. well off to get everyone ready for Church!

A New Year-

I hope this Year I will be better at Blogging.. I really want to turn this into a book and make it part of our family History. With this year our church being at 2:00~ Yuck! I have lots of Sunday morning time. So I am going to blog about the week at least every Sunday.
This Week the kids were back in School. JORDAN is in 6th Grade and in the Student Council. She also just turned 12 {WOW that came Fast} She gets to enjoy Young Womens now and all the things that go with it. They are Playing Basketball right now, she is enjoying learning new things. She also is still taking piano lessons and has started babysitting for people!
TANNER is in the 2nd grade and Loves football~ and Every thing boy. He love the STEELERS and is hoping they play in the Super Bowl. He is full of energy and is doing well in school. but if he had his choice he would rather skip school.

For Christmas Tanner got a Pump Action BB gun and For Jordan's birthday she got a .22 so while they were out of school we took they out to shoot them. I took some pictures I will have to add later.
I do love having the kids out of school and not having to fight with them with homework and getting them to be ready on time for school. But when they are in school the routine is oh so very nice.
Well I better get onto other things and I will post more later.
