Holman turns 14 dance legal!!

Holman turned 14 and is now dance legal! Watch out ladies cuz that hunk of love will be coming your way for New year's Eve! He continues to be a hoot and is interested in anything that is not your typical teenage boy thing. he is not a gamer and enjoys spending as much time as possible as he can outside. He just got released as the Deacon Quorum president and is now the Teachers Quorum president.Nana gave him a sweater vest to wear over this nice flannel shirt. Holman went into the other room just put on the vest and came out to show the family and he said "I think this might be a little too much, what do you guys think?" we all couldn't stop laughing. Most people don't know how crazy this kid is but I keep telling him he's crazy. We love him so much. He is taking art this year it had been fun to see his creative side. He continues to excel at Mandarin. We love his diligence and look forward to seeing what he will achieve. I love you Holman, so much ❤️❤️❤️

Anna turns 9, my baby is 9!!

This has been a big year for Ann. In this year it was discovered that her eyes didn't track at the same speed which made reading difficult. She had been struggling with reading and an eye exam helped diagnose part of the problem. All summer long she did daily eye exercises and attended eye therapy once a week. When school started she was taken out of class and tutored in reading. She has had two grading periods this year and both have been successful. We met with her teachers recently and she no longer needs special instruction!! So proud of my hardworking, kind and inventive girl. She brings joy and laughter to the people all around her. This year she started taking Irish dance lessons, we love to watch her do her reels and jigs!
Adrianna I love you so much!! You are the perfect caboose to this crazy train ❤️❤️❤️

For her birthday this year we had both sets of grandparents over to celebrate. I made her favorite meal, chilli and cornbread. Anna wanted an ice cream cake. Bella brought one home from work (she works at Cold Stone). Bella has been working there for about 7 weeks and she happened to be the one who made this cake. It was sweet just like Anna!

We gave her this "Little Woodzies Lakeside Cabin. We love playing with her and watching her play with it.
