YEAR in REVIEW!!!!!

I really can't believe that it is already 2011!! This past year really seemed to fly by! It was only yesterday that Alabama won the National Championship and all were saying "Roll
Tide"!! to start the year off!! We had a great year! Mike and Connie were back and forth in preparing to move south. They then sold their house in Virginia and moved in with us. Yes we were slightly cramped for seating and they were only able to us a very small portion of their belongings, but all was good!! It was a good thing having them here with us. Summer flew by quickly!! We had swim team and great visit to the beach for the last week of summer... Pictures were in the previous post!! While on vacation we noticed Anna was having some simple, yet weird symptoms....lets just say she was in the bathroom alot!! Well on the third day of school, I listened and borrowed Mikes blood sugar monitor and tested her blood sugar... mine was 89 hers was 264... Standard protocol for kids is three days in the hospital at Scottish Rite Childrens hospital of Atlanta!! All in all it was a great visit at the hospital if you can have a great visit at a hospital!! Anna has been a trooper and is adjusting beautifully to learn how to take care of herself!! Ofcourse some days are better than others!! She has decided to try her hand at band and has had a recital for school playing the clarinet!

Jonathan has had a good year. His football team made it to the state semifinals and even beat the 3 year reigning champions!!! It was one of the most exciting games ever!!! He has had a few too many girlfriends for my taste!! But he is a great guy and cute to boot!! You know you always pray for cute and adorable kids, but when they stay that way, sometimes you wonder!!! Did I really want this? He is currently wrestling and will begin Lacrosse sometime soon. Then he steps right back into football!! and Highschool!!! UGGGHHH!! He is growing up too fast!

Jessica is as adorable as always!! She is ready to get started with some gymnastics.. I am hoping she can start her first class next week!! She gets perfect grades and loves going to school!! I don't think she really likes the homework part of it, but she does it all with out a word from me! She loves singing and dancing at church with her friends! Jessica is my ROLL TIDE girl!! She would sit in my lap during every Alabama game!! Her goal is to go to Alabama and be a Cheerleader!! Woohoo!!!

Christian or CMAN!!! What can you say?? He is all Energy!! It is never a dull moment in our house!! Tyler and Carter are his best buds!! He has decided that he wants to play Lacrosse this spring!! Saturdays are going to be crazy!!! Christian isn't a big fan of school, but he makes great grades!! 100s all over the place!! I do believe recess is by far his favorite subject!!He is excited to get to wear a tux this Saturday in his cousin Rachels wedding. The girls are flower girls for her too. I will definately post pictures too!!

Keith and I celebrated out 18th wedding anniversary with a visit to the Cirque de Soliel!! It was good, but I dont quite get the ovo part of it... what was in the egg?? I really want to know!! Thanksgiving was GREAT!!! Went to Camden for the week, got to see my Grandaddy and got to see Felecia after 10 years of not seeing or talking to each other.. It was as if we had never stopped and who knows why???

Well Christmas was wonderful!! Woodstock saw its first white Christmas since 1882!!! It was absolutley beautiful!! We spent New Years in Camden with my family and got to hang out with Felecia again that Wednesday and Elizabeth and Gary for New Years Eve!! Lots of fun!! That is our year in review!! Whew!!
