Family Updates!

Its been a couple of weeks since I have posted, so I thought I would give an update regarding our family. Easter came and went, and the boys had lots of fun! Check them out!






Now for a brief update:

Deanna: All the hard work I spent at work has finally paid off! TEA came and went, and after spending a week in our district they had nothing but positive things to say about Temple ISD. In fact, they would like to use us as a model district for other struggling ISDs. After three years under the umbrella of TEA, they are making the recommendation to have the monitor removed! Praise GOD!!

On a different note, my training is definitely paying off. I ran 10 miles today, maintaining an 11.5 pace, with 20mph winds and lots of hills! I don't feel as though I can run another mile, but I'm sure in 4 weeks when it is time to run my half-marathon, I will be able to do it! So say a quick prayer for me!

Scott: He is still actively looking for a job in this area, but we finally have a couple of prospects. He has an interview on Friday and on Monday, so say a little prayer for that as well! He is also working hard on the house, getting it ready to sell. We just lowered the price by $9000, so if you know anyone in the market to buy a house in a good neighborhood, send them our way!

Jaysen: He is developing such a witty personality! He knows a word that starts with every letter of the alphabet, and those words change regularly! I am not sure how he knows that "walking in the woods" starts with a W, but I have learned not to question him!! We are also ACTIVELY potty training him now.....no more pull-ups except at naptime and bedtime. Yes he has accidents, and he doesn't tell us when he needs to go regularly, but as long as we set a timer for every 45 min or so, he will go without any problem. We just started yesterday, and he pee-peed in the potty 10 times yesterday! I just decided he is too old and too smart to still be in diapers....so wish us luck!

Dawsen: He is 14 months old, practically RUNNING everywhere he goes now, and LOVES to eat anything he can get his hands on! He still only has 2 teeth, but his upper front two are about to break the skin. He is also becoming quite the jabbermouth. He says: Mama, Dada, Nana, Papa, Bubba, More, Ball, UhOh, Bye, Book, and Bite. There are probably a few others, but I haven't quite comprehended them yet!

I guess thats it for now......a brief update on our life.....hope all is well with everyone! Talk to you soon!!
