WOW!!! ITS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH!!!

Okay, I know its been along time. The past few weeks have gone by so fast. Here is a list: Christmas, Our getaway, New Years, Uncle Mike getting a Kidney, sleepovers (kids didn't think they need to be home), wrestling (JJ, Brandon, Dylan, Kyle) Snow, Ice, and yes FLOODING. But yes everything is back to normal (if you can say we are normal)

Okay call us crazy but it wasn't a vacation without having the Thomas kids (-1 the newborn) over for a sleepover. And an American Idol Contest. This was on the Saturday before school started. And yes WE had to get SEVEN kids ready for church . Lets just say Missy and JR, I am glad I only had four :)

Yes a family event at wrestling Luke loves it he gets held ALL day!!

Luke is thinking to himself were is uncles hair LOL!!

Now onto the big boys wrestling Brandon has been doing good had some tough matches. Dylan didn't wrestle on meet coaches didn't want him to wrestle bigger guys but he also has been doing good. Finally I was able to see Kyle, it was down in Elma High (yes, it was a drive but hey it was my nephew) It is his first year and he is doing awesome. First match maybe twenty seconds and he pinned the guy. So after that we had to eat because its like two hours in between each match. For the second match again pinned the kid, as for the last we didn't stay it was already five. The third his coach told Kyle to go out and get some practice wrestling and not pin the guy, so he did and something he did wrong coaches started yelling at each other but the referee didn't see it so didn't call it (that was good) at this point Kyles coach was so mad he said to him "okay now you can pin him" and that is what he did. So exciting!!!!

Kyle on right

As for Uncle Mike he is doing well at home. After his kidney transplant. His New Years Eve party was at the hospital but it was well worth it. Our prayers are with him. Denise Heiser is also doing well at home after her heart attack. She had a triple BI pass. Get better to all of you.

Last but not least FLOODING, yes LJ and April had to evacuate to to high rivers in Orting. They were able to spend the night at our parents for one night then went home the next day with no damage. Thank God!!

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG NEXT ONE WILL BE SHORTER!!!!!
