Alex is 4!!

Hello there!! Well our baby has turned 4 today. Seems like time has flown by and he won't stop growing. We have planned his birthday party for Nov. 29th but tonight we had a "Family Party". He requested his special dinner be spaghetti. After dinner we had a mini cake, ice cream and opened a birthday gift (Kung Fu Panda DVD). He also recieved a goody package from mam and pap that had some toys in it for him. He was so excited!! Now he is answering the phone for his birthday calls tonight. Earlier today he had a Spiderman party with cupcakes and goody bags for his preschool class. I think he had a good birthday. On Saturday we all went to the Texas Roadhouse for Pjs and Alex's birthday dinner.

Mike decided to wipeout on his scooter on Vetran's Day. We called him in so we could go downtown to see the parade and he fell twicw he said. Anyways after 24 hours of complaining we took him to the ER. He ended up having a possible broken wrist. They put a splint on him and tomorrow we go to the orthopedic doctor to see if it's broken and if he gets a hard cast or not. Tonight he is still complaining it hurts. So maybe he will have 1 good arm for 12 weeks I will let y'all know!! Parent Conference today with his teacher and he is still A/B honor roll.

Hannah has been cheering her butt off. She had a Cheer Exhibition November 8th. It was real cute but they didn't get all their uniforms in on time so they had to wear practice unifroms. She did well and really enjoys the endless hours at the gym. On November 15th she had a Cheer Competition at the Coliseum. They won 4th place in Mini level 1. They also won Best Uniform overall. There were alot of teams competeing and our youth, junior, and senior levels placed 2nd and 3rd place. It was a great effort for her first one. 3 weeks off and then another competition.

Pj is still going to school. He is doing well. He worked NASCAR for his booster club at work on the 7th. I am still working, nothing exciting there. All I do is work, cheer taxi, eat and sleep. We all went to my friend, Sherri's son's wedding. They got married out at a lodge at Lake Pleasant. It was a really beautiful wedding. We had a great night of food, dancing, and friends. Congrats Kyle and Candi!! As metioned above we also went to the Vetrans Day Parade in Phoenix. It's the 4th largest and it was 2 1/2 hours long!! We went with the Frost Family. Lots still going on through the end of the year, I don't think we have an open weekend until after January. Well until Next blog......Melissa

Long time no blog?

Wow, I am a complete failure at trying to blog.I have lots of updates and hopefully with all the changes I will be able to keep up with this blog. Anyways it's not like I told anyone yet about this page so I'm not that bad!!

Let's start off with the obvious....All the kiddos are back in school. Mike has joined the band (trumpet player) but doesn't want to stay in. I told him he made a commitment and he needs to follow through. Pili has new glasses and can see!! Hannah loves her teacher but she is not a school girl. Alex has started a new preschool, my work opened a PreK/Childcare for employees so he is right down the hall from me.

GREAT NEWS!! We got orders!! Pj applied to recruiter school and was accepted and we are going to Hot Springs, Arkansas. I know what your thinking but google it and you'll be jealous!! I will put up some pictures. So, Pj starts school March 25th for 7 weeks and we haven't found out when the kids and I will move. It'll be sad to leave good friends and nice winters but we are ready for the change. He has also started his last class for his CCAF and will be done in December. I am so proud of him!!

Our weekends are busy. Hannah is in competition cheer and she goes to competitions on the weekends. We have to make a trip to Hot Springs soon to figure out where we want to live. We are excited and should be busy until we move!

Halloween was a blast! We went trick or treating with The Frost Family out in Verrado and came home with 3 full bags of candy!! I figured my New Years Resolution is to lose weight cause it's not gonna happen between now and Christmas. Mike was a crazy clown dude, Pili was Jack Skeleton, Hannah was a witch and Alex was BATMAN!! Can you believe he will be 4 in less then a month?

I will be quitting my job December 19th. It's scary but it's gonna get crazy soon and it will be good for all of us. I will still be subbing when they need me. I also get to start going to the gym with my extra time. SO hopefully that will help my resolution on weight. LOL.

So many things have happened since the last blog and I hope i will keep my word and update this weekly at the least. A few things that went on since July..... Orders!!, Hannah did the AZ Cardinals halftime show, Fall Break in California, San Diego Zoo, we stayed on Coronado Island it's so beautiful there!! We picked up Tony off his 6 month tour overseas. I got bargain purses in Palm Valley, Pj's family came to AZ for the Dallas Cowboys game. We had such a great time even though the Cowboys lost, weddings, showers, new babies. It's been busy!!

Til the next blog....Melissa
