Long Overdue....

HECTIC...
That's the word I choose to sum up the last month. I've been horrible at keeping this blog updated. I want to do better, just for my own records and memories. Heck, without these updates I wouldn't remember what I did 5 minutes ago.

So, pull up a chair and grab a snack, this is gonna be a long one!

I'll start with our trip to Phoenix back in November. My BEST friend of all times was getting ready to have baby girl #2 aka Olivia. Alyssa and I, along with my mom and Gabriella took a weekend trip to reunite and throw her a shower. It was a great weekend. The shower was a success and seeing Jessica and Maddy was the icing on the cake. Olivia was born on November 28th and man alive is she the sweetest little thing!

Jeff and Brandon have been crazy busy with wrestling. I think they have been traveling every weekend since the first weekend in November. Brandon has been wrestling hard and doing well. The competition when he travels proves to me much tougher and that's what he needs and desires. I have yet to see him wrestle, unless you count the numerous times I have watched his videos. I'm looking forward to January 1st when I can finally see him live.
I don't have any pictures of him wrestling to post. I'll have to get on that....hint, hint. I want a new camera! :)

Alyssa danced in the Boulder City Ballet Company's production of The Nutcracker last weekend. She danced the roll of a Neapolitan Doll and looked fabulous! I love seeing her on the stage.
I do have pictures of that. I'll do a separate post of pictures. :)

Gabriella is potty trained!! Can I get an AMEN and thank you Jesus!! Actually, it was Jeff how pulled off this potty training success story. Thank goodness one of us can be consistent!

Alyssa has been kicking butt in school too. She's become very involved with the National Junior Honor Society and stays after school on the days she doesn't have dance working on things for the teachers and staff. She maintains her straight A's with accelerated classes, 7 dance classes a week and her insanely busy social life (aka as Joseph) She's the best!

I guess that's about it. Somewhere in all that was Thanksgiving...
I'll post pictures!
