Kenzie and I just went to see the movie Twilight. It was great. Kenzie took two of her friends with her to go have a girls party. They then went and walked to mall. At thirteen I really dont think they get the full effects of the mall. In about 30 minutes they were ready to leave. I guess it makes a big difference when your mom is not there to dish out money.


We then went to go see Kenzie's new brother. Mark is still insistant that Tiden looks just like Jordan did. The only problem is he looks just like his mom and already has Marks receding hair line. Poor boy.


Well we still havn't had our first snow of the season. It is great. I would love to have all our moisture in the form of rain.


I went to the back doctor again today. He is

Jord is keeping us busy. He went to his first school dance this weekend. It was a girl ask guy dance so I hope that now he has been to one he will be a little less stressed with asking a girl to go.

He was recently invited to attend John Hopkins University to go to classes for 10 days. He is way excited. He will fly to MD. His math teacher nominated him for this great experience. He will probably be flying down in the last part of June.

Kenzie is now in an arm brace. She has acquired extreme tendinitis and possibly a stress fracture. All the gymnastics she cant stop doing as taken a toll on her arm. Hopefully the arm brace will keep her off of it for a couple of weeks. They want me to take her to a orthopedic specialist within 5 to 7 days but I think I will wait a couple more weeks and if it is still not better than I will take her in. Her arm has been hurting her for two weeks now so I finally took her in. She still has an overprotective step-father. We were dropping her off at school the other day, Troy was in the back seat with Ryker and Kenzie was in the front seat. Well luckily the door that Troy was sitting next to is broken, the child lock is stuck on. Troy was watching the boys that were sitting outside waiting for the school to open the doors, well I guess they were looking at Kenzie's "backside". Troy was pulling on the door trying to get out to yell at those boys. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Thank goodness for the child lock.

Ryker is just a entertaining as ever. He went to choir practice with Grandma Watt this last Sunday. I guess he was sitting on one of the chairs up on the stage while they were practicing, the next thing you know his little legs where going to the beat of the song and next he was up helping grandma lead the choir. I had so many people come up in church and tell me that he made me men sign so much better and ask if he could come and help grandma more often. He loved it.
Well I am at work so I better get going. We miss you all.

Jordan did well at Congress today. He was so excited last night when he got home. Today was a little let down. He took second and was not able to stay and get his trophies because the other kids wanted to get home.

Jordan received a letter inviting him to join the People to People Leadership Summit. We got on the Internet and checked it out. I guess his math teacher nominated him to become a part of this adventure. He is invited to become an Ambassador for the United States and go to another country to represent the United States. He is way excited. He will be there for three weeks. We have to wait to get more details on this. If anyone has heard of this or knows someone who did this let me know.

He is going to his first girl ask guy dance. First dance of his high school career. I think he is kind of nervous. It will be good to get him going.

Kenz is down with her new little brother Tiden. He has gain two pound in almost four weeks. He is so cute. Luckily Tor lets me hold him. I don't get to be around little ones around here. I feel bad for him though he definitely has his dad's hairline. Poor boy. Tor says they don't talk about it.

Ryker is still missing his grandparents. He is still talking about moving in with them. I told dad He would have to sleep right in the middle of the two of them. He said that he is quit use to kids sleeping in between them.

We hope all is well with you.

Jordan did great on his catapult. He loved it. He said that he will do it again next year. I told him he can only take Physics one time. He has an A in the class. He wants to take it again. He was very lucky he got on the front page of two magazines for his classes catapult. I hope he gets to make another one next year just him and his friends.

Kenzie is loving all the dances that are at this time of the year. She is now wrapping her feet up in ace bandages because of all the blisters on them. I asked her why she just didn't take her shoes off if they were hurting her. She just said she didn't want to get her feet stepped on. She was recently voted for two separate categories in the year book. She won "most gullible" and "cutest girl." I guess they will only let her have one win so since she had the most votes in most gullible they gave her that. She was pretty upset that they gave her that one because she won that one last year. Oh well that fits her quite well.

Ryker is still loving preschool. He gets to make some cute things. He loved having Grandpa and Grandma here. I know he was not ready for them to leave. Poor Grandma was sick the whole time. But she was a trooper and still had a smiley face for everyone. Ryker asked me today if we could move to Grandpa's house. He sure misses them.

Thank You Grandpa and Grandma for visiting. We miss you.
