Snow, Snow, and more Snow!!

I am not so good at this whole blogging thing.... I can't seem to keep up with it regularly. Well now that we are working on our 3rd snow day in a row, I have found sometime to update.

Well since last August, we all have started back to school.

Paige is in 8th grade (which completely overwhelms me)... She played volleyball, participated in marching band, and is now finishing up her basketball season. She has been able to maintain a 4.0 through her very busy schedule. Paige turned 14 on Jan. 10... hard to believe I know. She received a calling from church to be the Young Women Rep for the Stake.

Rylee began the 5th grade and is doing very well also. She played soccer and is now playing basketball and she continues to participate in Girls Scouts. Rylee began playing the trumpet in the 5th grade band. She loves keeping busy.She will turn 11 on March 19. Rylee has been able to keep her grades up to all A's.

Devin finally made it to the middle school with the girls. He began the 4th grade in August. He joined a new Cub Scout Pack this year and loves it... He is a Webelo. In addition to scouts, he played soccer and is now playing basketball. Devin has also maintained all A's so far this school year.

Kevin is now the Ward Clerk for our ward. He is also very busy working, working, working! He is still with UPS, driving bus, and delivering newspapers to the schools in Mahoning county. When does he sleep??? I'm not sure. We don't see him much through the week, but we are blessed to have him home on the weekends.

As for me.... Can you say, "Taxi Driver?" I spend most of my time running the kids from practice, to scouts, to games, to more practice, and more games!! In my downtime, I am still teaching. I teach 6, 7, and 8th graders technology. I love it!! What could be more fun than playing on the computer all day:). I also took on the task of being the Student Council Advisor (I'm still not sure how that happened). This fall I was released from being the 1st Counselor in the Youngstown Stake Young Woman's program and called to be the Relief Society President of our ward. Wow! talk about overwhelming!!!!!

So when we have these snow days.... I really enjoy the down time. I know that it means that we will be making up days at the end of the year, but I am enjoying the quiet family times while I can. I know my kids are growing up so fast.... It's really hard to believe how fast time flies!! I love my kids and my husband! I have been so blessed! Everyday I thank Heavenly Father for my blessings!!
