1. Kylee went to a sectionals meet and qualified to go to state. We went and she did fantastic! She took 8th place on vault and got a total over all score higher than at any of her other meets! She was amazing!!!!
2. Parker started Tae-Kwon-Doe. He has since moved from white belt to white belt advanced. He had a competition where he took 1st place in both areas that he was competing in. So much fun to watch him. He had to watch a bunch of other kids in between his two sessions. He looked so bored and I asked him if he liked watching it. He said 'No! This is boring! I like to do it not watch.'. I felt the same way! lol I loved watching him but really detested watching everyone else.
3. Thanksgiving and Christmas have come and gone again. :( I am really sad to have them over. I missed being with family up in Utah, but I have to say that I am getting used to a warm Christmas! Parker got a B.B. gun and James took him and Kylee out shooting on Christmas. You could NOT do that in freezing cold weather! Kylee asked if next year we could go up and spend Christmas in Salt Lake. I told her that if we did that her dad would be all by himself on Christmas. She thought about that for a minute and promptly said 'He can take vacation and come with us!'. We'll see what happens!
4. A stupid, ugly, pitbull attacked my dog. Just ripped him right out of my arms. Luckily a friend was there and was pounding that stupid dog in the head. She still wouldn't let go. I ended up having to stab her three times. It was awful! She still didn't let go until her head was slammed into the house several times. My poor dog was so lucky that his hair was long or his bum would have been taken off. The vet said that if he had not been in my arms he probably would have died. :( After three weeks of a cone around the neck, pain pills and antibiotics he is getting back to normal. It was extremely traumatic for all involved (4 kids, me, my friend and the dog!).
5. In addition to helping to teach gymnastics and taking the adult class I have also started taking a TNT (tumbling and track) class! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!! It is so fantastic! I am working on my front tuck (doing pretty well) and getting my bridge (tight back) so I can work on a bridge kick-over and then go from there. It is so much fun! I never thought I would be able to do it and so it is kind of nice to see some progress! (it also makes me feel a bit younger....until my body starts creaking! lol)
So, now I am back. I know, you have all missed me terribly! (at least I know this is true for my grams and gramps! haha)

I always wanted to take gymnastics - that's so cool that they have an adult class!
Props to Kylee!!
It's nice to finally hear from you on here again.
I love it. I am so glad that they have it. I don't know what I am going to do when we move back! lol THanks for for the welcome back. :)
I missed you too! its fun to get to know you from your blog! good for you on the gymnastics. sounds very cool and brave!
Lisa! I love you! It is so weird, I use to think of you as James' friend, and now I don't even associate him with you! I just think of you as mine! lol funny, since I think we have only met in person one time!
wow...sorry to hear about the dog attack...luckily it wasn't you or one of the kids or your neighbor that got attacked. Didn't anybody teach you not to get in the middle of a dog fight? I'm glad that the dog made it out without long lasting injuries. What happened to the pitbull? what did you stab him/her with?
I didn't 'get in the middle', I was part of it! She ripped Chancho right out of my arms. It was scary. It really is a miracle that none of us were attacked. I stabbed her with a butcher knife. I am not sure what happened to her. After pacing in front of our door she left and the police could not find her. I stabbed her in her right shoulder (in the muscle) so she should be okay.
