Family update!

WOW! I just realized that I have not posted to our blog page since November! I promise to try and catch up! Were to begin...Halee is in at Finley Junior High and has worked extremely hard to get straight A's every quarter. It is very nice b/c the school board has an awards night and honor all of the straight A students. The principal and the school board pres. give out the certificates. It is especially nice for Halee b/c Aunt Lynn is the school board pres. so she is the only one who get a great big hug when she gets her award. She is also the only one who turns 5 different shades of RED when she gets the hug in front of everyone. I just laugh. She played basketball, volleyball and is now rolling into the softball season.
Tom, is also doing very well in school. He has made the honor roll every quarter and is now working very hard on his science project and his Historical person project for social studies. In true "Pote" fashion, his historical person is Babe Ruth. Tommy plays many sports but Baseball is by far his favorite. He is also getting ready to start the baseball season. His football season was a good one. He was on the JV a and b team. On the A team he was a running back and outside linebacker. On the B team he was QB so that next year he can take over in that position on the A team. Tom also did very well in Basketball this season. He was the leading scorer on the team after sitting out a good portion of the season with his broken wrist.
Erin is a vibrant 2 yr old. (She will be 2 on the 13th) She does not skip a beat! Her vocabulary grows everyday! As many of you know we took out the half wall that used to separate the kitchen and front room which leaves us with a small island. That is Erin's race track! I am not exaggerating when I say she does about a thousand laps a day. I need to sit on the couch and rest from watching her. She will be starting school at the park on April 21st. It is a 45 min class 1 day a week. It is to prepare kids for the social interaction of school. Erin also attended her first Daddy Daughter Dance. Halee was so excited to have Erin their with her. Erin was excited to wear a "pitty dress" and be able to run around the frontier gym freely.



Matthew is a "BIG BOY". He is now 6 months old and is 18lbs. and 25 in long. He is probably the happiest baby I know. He is now teething so his sleeping habits have been a struggle these days. Poor guy smiles while he cries, I feel so bad for him.



As far as Kevin and I we are just keeping busy chasing around all of these kids we have! Kevin is working hard at his hotel as they have cut back to 1 man per shift. But hey at least he has a job! Well I hope to be more diligent with updating our page but with softball and baseball season in full swing my computer time is limited.
