Daddy Daughter Dance

It is amazing how she looks forward to this day ALL YEAR LONG!!!!

The Dress... Shoes...Nails...Hair...Dinner...Danceing...Pictures

This is her day with Daddy, he takes her to get nails done and then we do hair, make up and dress all up. They walk hand in hand out the door to their night together. Memories they are creating together will forever be worth more than all the gold in this world.

May she know the deep fatherly love her daddy has for her. May his Godly character example for her the worth she has in her heavenly father. And seek to be all that He has planned for her on this earth.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

What a wonderful white surprise as we woke up this morning. The kids were so excited to play in our snow. Jaxson had only one thing on his mind "SNOWBALL FIGHT". He couldn't think of anything else but to gather up a handfull of white fluff and chunk it at me.

Jacie was more inclined to create beautiful snow angles. They had a great time. And we even made some snow soup Yummy!!

Creative Scheduling Part II

So for the last 3 weeks our life has been consumed with Soccer, moving and puppy's. I really think I got more sleep the fist weeks after bringing home my 3 children from the hospital than I have gotten this last several weeks. But we are glad to say things are beginning to settle down.

We have been blessed beyond measure through this whole experience. It seems like God is just one step ahead of the enemy, every time something tries to trip us up... God is right there to hold us up and keep us going.

Cory had a accident the week of our move, our dryer broke the first week in our new home, and allergy season is trying to drain our last bit of energy making school deadlines and parenting patience very thin. However it never fails as we pray for HELP that we feel the refreshing showers from above drizzling down to cover us. We were given a vehicle to borrow, some one from our church anonymously gave us money that was the same amount of a new dryer we had just located, and God brought neighbors to help with our work load giving us more time to focus on school. I must have shed 2lbs of tears this week. I am just so in AWE of how God just swoops down and takes care of things.

Looking forward to many more wonderful day's ahead looking out onto this view from the front porch of our new place of peace.

Love to all, and Happy Fall Yall!!!

Creative Scheduling Part I

Well we picked up the key's to the new place Wed and made a few loads. Woke up Thursday morning to start the next round of moving...... but the day took a slight detour.

Instead of moving into our new place on Thursday we welcomed 5 new family members into the Jeter household. ( Very temporary family members)

Jasmine was in labor all day, literally. And by 11pm we had 5 of the cutest little furry puppy's.

Fast and Furious

It seems almost like a dream. We have continued to sit still, sometimes patiently and other times not so much, for over a year awaiting God's direction for our new home and now things are moving so quickly I can hardly keep up.

We have watched in awe as He accepted our surrender of living in locations that were quite a challenge for a family of 5, and then gave us so much more. The finial answer is there will be plenty room for all. We get the key's Sep 15 and will begin moving. Of course with the school year underway and sports already on the schedule the task of moving will need to be very creative. All of us are just so excited about the new place, I think most of all it's the conformation that we are moving into a new season of life. Woot Woot!!

School is still going great. Jacie and Jax have basically begg every day to do their "homework". Jaxson uses both his right and left hands for things. It was so funny this week I looked up to see him have a color in each hand and was alternating using them. Great stuff!!

We may have a surprise about to happen in the next few weeks. Our female Lhasa Apsa, Jasmine, is bulging at the waist line. We had plans to breed them but this timing is gonna be sticky. Only question in our mind right now is could this be a false pregnancy. One of our friends just experienced this; said all the symptoms were there but just no puppy's. So we will soon see.

The rain is coming down hard here. Jordan's first soccer game was rained out, we were a little bummed. Only good thing about not playing today is that I haven't had a chance to get a new camera yet. Mine broke on our family camping trip and I am still researching for a new one. If you have any ideas let me know!

Love to all

Bye Bye Summer..... Hello Fall

So This week has been wonderful! I can not tell you how refreshing it has been after much sacrifice to start this new season off on such a great note.

Many of you may already know, but for those who don't, Jordan has asked to attend our Church's Christian School. So we will now be the Hill Country Christian School "RAMS" Royal blue and yellow. He took quite a beat'en from his home school Panthers basketball team, but in the end he told us he really wanted to be apart of this new group. So HCCS runs M-T and they are off on Friday's which he LOVES!!! In addition to Basketball he will be playing Soccer and running Track. Really cool thing is that after MUCH MUCH contemplation he accepted the responsibility of wearing a school uniform. This is something we thought we would never see. He has had a GREATTTT first week. Loves his teachers, the class set up, and the people. We are so happy for him and look forward to what God has in store for him this next year.

Me and the little guys also had a GREAT first week. With just the 2 of them I am able to put more focus on their curriculum and activities. We will be starting a new COOP in San Marcos with several family's from our new church. This itself is a HUGE TESTIMONY in it's self. Were looking forward to lots of fun times and field trips. I am really surprised at both of them so far this week. I really didn't think Jacie picked up a good foundation last year and so we are repeating Kinder, however as we begin to review this week she is tearing it up!!! Jaxson surprised me today, I heard " Mommy look, I can do it" and turned around to see him finishing the X in "JAX" WOW!!!

Were also SUPER excited to see a new provision coming for our home. Looks like God has opened a door for us in Martindale Tx. It's about 12 minutes outside of San Marcos. Again the path that has led us here is another HUGE TESTIMONY. Little bit of country but not to far out. Everyone just fell in love with it when we went to visit, and then God did the rest. We should be out there by the end of September.

So I'm being convicted to make weekly updates. y'all pray for my endurance and time organization. :~)

Love to you ALLLLLL. we pray your families walk into abundant blessings as we turn over a new season.

Winter Update

Hello everyone. Same story as last post... this is the first time I've logged into the Blog since my last post. Crazy!!!!

I think about it often, and get several requests from some of you to update it, however with all of our craziness called life I just run out of time for the Blog.

Anyways, things are going better here. I am finished with classes and passed by the grace of God. Cory has his finals this week, so say a prayer for him if you can. We shared with you all this past semester that he felt led to transfer into Dallas Baptist University and has really enjoyed his classes. However after much prayer he will be transferring back to WTAMU this next semester because the doors have not opened up for him to continue with DBU at this time. He is very sad to move away from a ministry degree, however is trusting God's plan and His timing.

Jordan and Jacie will be finishing up classes this Friday. I can hardly believe we are 1/2 way through our first year of home school !!! The curriculum isn't hard, even for Jordan, but the self discipline has been a HUGE struggle. There have been many day's when he would be frustrated saying " mom they expect me to know this or that already and I don't " or " I didn't learn this in school". The biggest issue was using calculators, we aren't allowed to use calculators and it's KILLING him. I even called our curriculum company and discussed these things with them. Sadly they confirmed that many first year parents in our situation call in with the same frustrations. I also spoke with some of our friends who teach in our district and they also confirmed what Jordan was saying. So the combination of not having some of the fundamental skill sets needed and the new self disciplined structure has made this a tough semester for us all. Light at the end of the tunnel is coming. Things are looking brighter, after 6 months Jordan is getting the hang of things, and we can see God's hand on him, once again His timing not ours. Not that he always likes it, but he is seeing how he can be successful at it.

The Basketball team has been his everything over the last semester. Back in August we had to make him participate with this team, he didn't want to play at all. However as the week's went by he has come to love the game in a new way and truly enjoy the company and friendships of his team mates. His talent has been noticed and the accountability of the team to respect each other, themselves and God is amazing. He has told us several times he has never played on a team like this in his life. That's big for him to even step back and look at a situation like that. We are loving watching him, every week 2 games and 2 practices. This past week the home school football coach was scouting at one of his games. Mr. Hall approached Cory and Jordan after the game and talked for quite a while. I asked Jordan what he thought and I could see the pride beaming from his grin it had to have been a confidence booster. So we'll see what happens next year. Several times in his frustration with classes he has said he wanted to go back to public school, but then would pause and say, " but I don't want to leave this team, I won't give it up " That to is very deep for him.

Were still in Plum Creek for now waiting on all the bank and paperwork of our buyers to go through. This past week has been crazy, our heater went out and our truck broke down. The heater has been out now for almost 14 day's AUGHHHHHH. Our friend is an AC contractor and is working us in so it's taking longer than usual. He thought it was fixed last week but then it went out again this week. We are learning how to actually dress for the season and realized our attire of shorts, no socks or shoes and short sleeves is not meant for December :~). Then last week on our way home from Jordan's BBall game our alternator went out on Mopac. God helped our car make it 20 miles from far north Austin all the way to south Austin (closer to home) we exited the HWY and coasted to a stop light. Our cell phones were almost out of battery and God allowed us to reach friends to come get us, 911 to help light up our dark car on the foggy night, and a tow truck ( who was a friend and towed us 30 miles for FREE!!!). Then a school buss stopped next to us and offered us a ride, the little ones and I rode in the buss across the 6 lane HWY to wait in a restaurant for our friends. I tell you what, our life has been jam packed with activity and not the fun kind. But I am so encouraged by it all, I know there will be much riches on the other side of this all.

Well, my fingers are tired so I'll stop for now. Love to everyone.
Jeter Crew

We are still alive

This is the first time I have logged into this blog since my last post, can you believe that??

So, I knew my new life was not going to be a walk in the park..... but I have had a few hurdles and surprises that I didn't plan for and am still getting my feet wet in finding a schedule that works for everyone.

Our home has been busten at the seams with activity since I last posted. Jordan has started basketball with the panther home school team out of San Marcos and really enjoys the team. Were looking forward to his first tourney in November. Cory has been training to become a C.A.S.A. volunteer as a court appointed special advocate to children placed in state custody while going through custody issues. Jaxson still wakes up and goes to bed everyday talking about these imaginary baseball, basketball, football etc. teams he is on. And princess Jacie has now turned the big "6".

We have received a contract on our home and are beginning to box things up. As we began to look for a new place to live, God once again is bringing us to a place we never thought we would be. Through several events we are being led to move to the Caldwell County area. We have some friends who have just purchased a large plantation home there and are restoring it to be used as part of their pastoral ministry. We will be staying with them for a season. We are being led to possibly purchase a older home and restor it however there are many details we are still seeking His clarity on.

School is going good. I'm not gonna lie, it's a BIG adjustment for Jordan and even for me and my classes. Jacie is the only one who seems to be Johnny on the spot, home school is all she has ever known. They are in their 9th week of classes and both doing well. Jacie is even doing some reading already, I'm so encouraged by her drive and excitement. She enjoys her school work so much and I love that. With my attention being spread so thin I haven't had the chance to work with Jax as much and he has lost some intrest in school work. But I did find some workbooks that have balls as the objects to learn from and that made all the difference. Now he is counting and sorting balls like crazy on his handouts.

I hope to add some pictures soon, and really hope to be more regular with posting. Hope everyone is having a wonderful fall and enjoying the rain.

Love to all
Us

Hello everyone

Life didn't give us much of a break as I transitioned from one job to the other. My last day at Grande it rained that evening and we moved a surprise birthday party for our friend Kristi over to our home. It was a great time with friends and she was so surprised, we also celebrated the news that she is Cancer free!!!

From there, the kids and I have had our schedule packed. Pool every day, crafts, books, princess play dates and most coveted time of the day....... fixing dinner.

We have had so much going on that sometimes Jax has a hard time making it to the bed before drifting in to never never land.

Rags to Riches

I often like to watch the HGTV show “Flip this House”. I think it’s amazing to watch a home that has been trashed, aged, and left with no hope restored into a beautiful place ready to welcome a family and begin a new life story. We are walking into a new season of our life and I bet we could could start our own reality show about flipping things inside out…. we like the name “Rags to Riches”.
Over the last 6 months both Cory and I have been led to begin changing our family environment. Our marriage has been restored to amazing heights, Jordan has begun to heal and grow in amazing ways, and now he is calling us to change our entire life routine as we know it today.

Friday will be my last day at Grande. I have had the blessing of working for a wonderful company for over 10 years. I have learned so much more than just telecomm over these last years. And now I am grinning from ear to ear as we step out in faith that the next season of life will hold as many and way more blessings for our family. We have been led to home school this year. And so all three kiddos will begin their new school year in a few weeks. Both Cory and I will continue our classes as well so our home will be oozing with knowledge :~)

We have struggled with the decision of my quitting for several months. I first heard we were to do this in May; however our financial situation was not able to support it. Over the last few months God has brought so many things into our path that made His will very clear for us. When He calls us to something we are to step out in faith… nothing else… He will provide our needs as long as we are doing His will and not ours. Matt 6:25-34. So were giving up the big house, maybe a car, what ever it takes to make this change. And you know what…. the joy we have already begun to have is unbelievable.
He has already begun to show us financially that He is in control. One of the verses he showed me through all of this was 1 Peter 1:17 “…live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear”. We know what were doing is out of the norm, you have NO idea how many people are looking at us with crazy eyes, even some have cautioned us or spoke words of discouragement about our actions. I have to say, it makes me feel great to see and hear all this stuff, because it means we are living different and that’s what he’s calling our family to do.
We love everyone and will try to post more often. Have a great last few weeks of summer!!!!

Honduras updates

The easiest thing will be for me to log each entry on this one post by date.

8;15pm -HOME!!!!!!!

7/18 12pm- They have boarded the plan and are on their way home. YEAH!!!!!

7/17 5pm- Container is on truck and just left the port on to the high way. There is a curfew there so it will not make the 3 hour trip all the way to Israel's home. It will go as far as it can then stop for the night and continue on in the morning. Cory and Eric will not be able to assist in unloading it from the truck so be in prayer for Israel and the driver whom will be undertaking that task. Our boy's should be home tomorrow night.

7/17 10am- The guys have been at the port with the trucker since 8. Still not released. They have extended their flight and will plan to be home Sat night now. No regulations and seems the locals aren't governed by a set of moral or ethical standards.

7/16 4pm- Customs person has just returned?????? and tells them not today, but definitely on the truck by 8 am tomorrow.

7/16 2pm- Still waiting for customs. Seems there is no sense of urgency. Cory says there are no issues in the streets, and roads have not been shut down. They are at the port in Cortez i think.

7/16 12pm- Customs is checking the contense of the container. They are hoping for it to be released in a couple of hours.


7/15 11pm- The local Honduras news is reporting that Zelaeas supporters plan to block the roads tomorrow. Please pray.

7/15 6pm- The big group should be landing soon in Austin. Cory and Eric are still working on the container issues. Please pray for them, there are still complications and the red tape is getting very frustrating. We are being charged daily for the thing sitting in the port, however the custom officials won't release it yet. We found some pictures on facebook one of the local missionaries had posted so we added them to our blog slide show.

7/15 9am- Cory called, they are headed out to try the container again. He said they postponed the soccer games because all the gear was in the container. Even though the original plans did not happen God was miraculous and he is in awe of everything. There are lots of stories and pictures to share when he gets back.

7/14 12pm- Cory texted, they made it safely to the hotel.

7/14 8am- Eric just texted to say they were packed and headed back down the mountain to San Pedro. They will be staying in the hotel tonight.

7/13 7 pm- I think Cory's phone must be out of batteries. Eric texted tonight saying they will be leaving El plan early in the morning. they will head back down the mountain to San Pedro, stay in a hotel Tuesday night and the big group will head back to Austin at noon Wednesday. Cory and Eric are hoping to be able to work out the container release and finish up some other mission business before heading back Friday at noon.

7/12 6pm- Today they went up into the mountains riding donkey's traveling to surrounding villages. Cory said he was both excited and nervous of the donkey ride. Jordan thinks it's because he will be riding it going upward on a mountain and his fear of heights may kick in. :~)We heard that a small group hiked out again last night to preach/pray in a nearby village as well. God's hand protected them as they walked back to base camp in the dark.

7/11 10pm- Got word from Rebecca tonight, the team went to homes of surrounding the village praying and witnessing from 9-1pm today. They hung out at base camp for awhile after it began to rain. This evening they went to another church service.

7/10 10pm- Cory just texted they all went to a church service there in the village. Israel and Jonathan preached . He said they sang the songs in the native language and it was so awesome. They did go ahead with out the container. They hope it will be available before Cory and Eric leave next Friday, maybe they can at least help get it to Israel's house. He says the stars are just awesome, so clear and close. He sends love to everyone.

7/10 9am- Time has come to go to the mountain. The team was up and moving early this morning. They made it to Israel's house about 9 and had one hour to go before arriving in El Plan. Cory texted me about 10 saying they made it and it was absolutely beautiful. We think they went ahead without the container. No one knows why but the Lord, we are continuing to pray and know his Will is perfect and he opens and shuts doors for a reason. He is in control and the container will make it to El Plan when He is ready. They will set up camp in a school house hanging hammocks for beds so they won't be sleeping on the floor with the bugs :~).

7/9 6pm- No container again today. Everyone is sharing that they are having great God discussions and group prayer. They will be headed for the mountains early in the morning. With or with out the container.

7/8 6pm - The rest of the team made it there about lunch time today. Seems to be more red tape regarding the container. It's there, but they can't get it out. Everyone will stay at the hotel tonight and hope to get the container in the morning.

7/6 10:pm- They had a great day. Got out of the hotel and went to a local market. They met a team of people from Tennessee who are building homes there on the outskirts of town. If our container doesn't come in tomorrow they plan to go out and help that team with their building. They ask us to continue to pray, pray, pray!! Also Cory had a cough that didn't sound very good, please lift that up as well.

7/6 12:pm- Container has not made it there yet, they have been told not until Wednesday. They are asking for prayer that it arrives early, tomorrow. Until it arrives they will be hold up in their hotel as there isn't much for them to do.

7/6 10:00am- Things are good. They are getting ready to start meeting their contacts for help with the container. Israel took them to meet some locals last night. They learned a lot about the political situation. Still no military concern . A few extra pa trolls on the street, and a small protest down town but nothing to be worried about.

7/5 4:30pm- All is "very fine". Media has hyped up the issues not at all alarming where they are in San Pedro Sula. Have checked into hotel, going to get pizza. Plan to work on connections and rent trucks for hauling container out of port Tuesday am.

7/5 12:00pm- Arrive in San Pedro Sula Honduras

Therefore go and make disciples of nations

Most of you already know that Cory felt led to travel with a mission trip this summer to Honduras. The time has come and we dropped he and a dear friend Eric at the airport this morning. We heard from them around noon, they have landed safely in Honduras and will call later with more.

Our church has a team of about 10 who have been praying and seeking God's will for this trip. Over the last several months there have been many great things come to pass that have given everyone involved a great peace that this is truly a trip with God's purpose.

A large container, like a rail road car size, was donated and trucked up to Kyle from Brownsville. in a matter of a few weeks the container was filled with supplies to build a church. Were not just talking about some wood, nails, and hammers.... but windows, front doors, cement mixers and such. There was also an enormous amount of toy's clothes, medicines, and school/household items loaded. Basically, God filled the whole thing up!!!

The container shipped out of Houston last week to Honduras. Cory and Eric are there 3 day's before and will stay 3 day's after the rest of the team. Today through Wednesday the two will be working with the local contact Israel. Eric shared a small bit of Israel's testimony on the way to the air port this morning. It was amazing. The three of them will be challenged to retrieve the container from the port and transport it to the top of a mountain into the city of El Plan.

Once the whole team is in place they will begin construction of a church building for the village. They also will be holding the second ever soccer tournament. Israel says people from villages miles away have said they will be traveling to play in the tournament. Eric said the mission trip this past March had people showing up for several hours after the games were finished very sad they had missed it.

Please lift Cory and the others up daily. Their safety, health, endurance, and testimony all are things to lift in prayer. God has chosen this special group of people to do this special task. Each one of their hearts so desires to show God's love and share his redeeming story with this village. Pray for the hearts of the villagers, that they will be open and receptive of Jesus and his saving grace.

I'll try to keep his updates posted on the blog, however because it's so expensive our daily updates may be short and sweet.

Jaxson Turns 3 !!

Our baby is growing up :-(

Jax turned three this week, the time has flown by. He is such a little man. We celebrated once with Mema and Dado on Daddy's birthday, July2, and then again with friends on the 4th. His baseball birthday cake was the best ice cream cake we've ever had. I'm sure the fact that it was 125 degrees outside while we ate it added to the wonderful cool taste.

He loved all of his gifts and has recruited everyone he can to play ball with him. I'm sitting here after church watching Jacie in her dress wearing both batters gloves playing catch. It's great, i love it!!

Love ya
TJ

Summer Stuff

Summer school has started for Cory and I so our posts have been a bit sparse. Our calendar has been full of VBS and other great Summer time activities. We have some great pictures to share, hopefully I can get them loaded tonight between my tests.

Jordan's yard business is still going strong. It's amazing how many homes would prefer let some youngsters mow their yard rather than do it themselves. It's great for the boy's, and Jordan is finding plenty of things to spend his money on. We took him to a skating road tour this weekend. It was a last minute surprise and he was in awe. 3 hours in the Katy Mills parking lot, they were beat red, but J says it was all worth it.

Jaxson was so funny yesterday at dinner. We all go around the table and give 2 things were thankful for as our prayer. When it was his turn he listed out " Mema & Dado, Granny & Papa... and golf game, and baseball game, & football game, & soccer game, & basketball game." we tried to cut him off a few times and he got frustrated with us, this boy LOVES any type of ball if you didn't already know that.

Jacie got a new dollhouse this weekend and is in heaven. She has already talked Jaxson into playing house with her. It all goes fine until he takes one of the dolls and starts smashing it into the wall over and over..... hahaha.... Mom had to step in and explain some stuff to him.. :o)

Hope everyone is having a great summer so far, check back in the next few day's for new Pictures.
Love to all!!!!!

Jacie lost her first tooth :~)

Early last week Jacie told us her tooth was loose. We watched her work it back and forth all week long. Today at lunch she had Cory cut up her hamburger because it hurt to bite into it. We looked up a few minutes later because she squeaked..... and there it was in her hand.

Jaxson was in amazement. He had to inspect the situation several times. It was so cute.

She was totally excited ... and so were we!

Update on J

Thank you all for praying and checking in on Jordan over the last few weeks. He is doing much better, Kevin his PT is very upbeat about how much progress Jordan has made.

J is on top of his stretches, and even takes some of them as a personal challenge to master before his next visit to Kevin.

We have about 4 more straight weeks of PT, then they will begin to ween him off slowly.

Again, thank you for all your support.

NEED PRAYER PLEASE

Jordan's lower back has been hurting him for a few months now. Over this last month the pain has gotten worse. We have been through our family Dr. and yesterday visited an orthopedic specialist. They have determined that he has Spondylolysis( I pasted in the definition below). With physical therapy for the next weeks and no physical activity they hope to reduce the pain and begin to help healing. If this doesn't work, he will be put in a back brace for several months, and then the last straw, after over 18 months of treatment, will be looking into surgery.

We are praying that he will be restored to normal health quickly, that Jordan will understand the seriousness of this injury and follow Dr. orders diligently. Also that God will make himself known to J in a personal way through this whole thing.

Thank you so much in advance for your thoughts and prayers. We love youall.

Cory & Tanya



Spondylolysis Injury Explained
A stress fracture, medically known as Spondylolysis, is the most common overuse injury of the lower back in sport. This condition is classified as either a bone stress reaction or a stress fracture of the lower back. It is especially common in growing adolescents and symptoms are often related to the 'growth spurt'. Cricket fast bowlers appear to be particularly susceptible to Spondylolysis, with a reported prevalence of 55% in some teams.
At the base of the back there are five lumbar vertebrae. The most common site for Spondylolysis is the bottom-most lumbar vertebra, called L5, where the mobile lumbar spine meets the fixed pelvis. This is because this vertebra is subject to most stress during sports.


Spondylolysis Signs & Symptoms
This condition is most common in adolescents and is quite rare beyond this age group. Spondylolysis is characterised by an ache in the lower back which is exacerbated by sporting activities and eased by rest. Typically, it is sore when the patient bends backwards, particularly if standing on one leg. If Spondylolysis is suspected, a GP may decide to refer the patient for a scan to confirm the diagnosis.

1st Trip to the Dentist :~)

Jacie had her first Dentist visit this past month. She did GREAT!!! Boy have times changed. We have a new dentist office in town and it has all sort's of cutting edge stuff. There was even a TV screen where they showed us what they were doing in her mouth. Then when they got ready to start cleaning her teeth, they put on a Barbie movie for her to watch throughout the procedure. WOW~ I sure wish they had this set up back when I was a kid.

Back to the world of technology!!

Hey everyone....

I think we're back on line for good now. We had a whole house of sickness during the holiday's and then all of our computers crashed at once. Mine just got back from the shop for the 3rd time and Cory's is still being worked on. Man we had no idea how dependant we were on the Mobille technology.

Since we last posted, here's what's been going on.

Our church performed an outdoor program "A Night In Bethlehem". Cory and I were Zachariah and Elizabeth and I was with child. That was the fastest pregenancy I have ever had. Cory told me I over-acted, but I think it was just so real with all the moaning and acting uncomfortable that it brought back bad memories for him. I actually had several people who hadn't seen us in a while ask if we were truly expecting.

Christmas was great, other than having some very sick kiddos. We enjoyed seeing all our family and friends. We had some friends over for New Year's and enjoyed our first ever Wii tournament. It was a blast and the kids had such a good time....Jacie is really good at baseball.

School started for J and he moved into a few new classes. It's hard to believe he is on the down hill of his Freshman year.

Cory and I started WTAMU. These classes are on a traditional schedule, diffrent from South University's year around summer school schedule. We have one class together and during class introductions Cory put a HUGE target on our backs by telling the class that his goal was to make a better grade than I, for bragging rights.

We posted some Christmas pictures on the side view and hope to get some more soon.



Love all of you all.

BasketBall

Rebels Hoops

Jordan plans to play basket ball this year with Hays. Several of his team mates are playing in a fall weekend league to get in some extra practice until basket ball season.
Mema and Dado visited us last weekend and we all went to cheer J on. Jacie kept Dado busy helping her color. While Jax tried on Mema's glasses.
