So much has gone on in the last almost 2 years and it has been kept secret from the world because my laptop died....and I'm too stubborn to learn how to use the old desk top kids computer or Andy's laptop.
The kids have each grown a mile. Lace is now 8 years old and in 2nd grade. She is still a Brownie Girl Scout and we are up to our eyeballs in cookies during this time of year.

KHAYLE has officially become a teenager! Yes, that's right, she is 13 now. I really can't believe that Tony and I are old enough to have 2 teenagers in the house. I was 13 when I met Tony...yikes!

ANDY is 2 weeks away from being 16!! Holy crap! How can this be????

He's only hit the garage and murdered the passenger side mirror once. He doesn't ask to drive a whole lot which makes me not have to say no very often. We have a rule where he has to be passing all his classes to drive...not as great as an incentive as I hoped it would be. Let there be no doubt, he is completely capable of fantastic grades but chooses to keep that a secret from his teachers. Maybe it'll kick in his last 2 years of school...hey, I can hope. He's decided that the Marine Corps is what he's going to do after high school. I am so proud of him, yet so worried about him going far away from his family...well away from me anyways. He's at least promised at this point to stay on the west coast so we can come visit on some weekends.
TONY has started the long process of going back to school. A 19 year break was all he needed.

ME...I am going back to school starting the 14th.

OH MY...if I think Tony's cuss level went up, I can only imagine what's gonna happen to mine. I figure since I am home all day and the kids are in school and don't need me as much as they used to, I can better myself as well. My classes will all be online so that I can always stay available to do whatever the kiddos need whenever they need it. It will definitely be a new experience.
So that pretty much catches us up on the last 2 years. I am so excited to have a new computer and be back up in the blogging world.
