Distant Learning school

This year instead of going through the K-12 program we found a Distant learning program that caters to home school kids and once a week they go to a school with all home school kids and do hands on learning. At first Kenzie was pretty nervous and had a hard time making friends it took her about 3 weeks to get used to it and make friends. Braxton on the other hand made friends the first day and now they both love it and enjoy going the full 5 hours. It is fun to see them grow and get the social interaction they needed and love.

Makenzie at 9

I am so ecstatic that Kenzie is 9. Its bitter sweet but I am so thankful that she is still here with us and happy and healthy. She defiantly has had her trials which is very scary but humbling all at the same time.

Life flashed before mt eyes and Kenzie is 9 already. I remember bringing her home from the hospital Christmas Day!!

She is such a bright, loving, cheerful young little lady who has come so far in her short life and I a excited to see what else she can accomplish.

This year she wanted a birthday party with her friends. We usually do it with family but she wanted something different this year. She invited 11 friends and they all showed up, Kenzie was so excited. We did a WINTER WONDERLAND PARTY, which turned out pretty good. She had everything planned out from making gingerbread houses, a photo booth, donut eating contest and pin the nose on a snowman. She had fun helping me make her cake and it turned out perfect for her party.

Since it was during dinner time we had pizza and man do girls eat, they devoured the pizza so fast I could barley cut the pizza with out them trying to eat my hand.

so guys don't say girls cant eat, they ate 2 family sized pizzas in a matter of minutes haha!

We gave her a karaoke machine since she loves to sing and it ended up being a hit they all played with it until the girls parents came to pick them up!

TOTAL SUCCESS

Happy New Years

I don't make New Years resolutions probably because I am horrible at keeping them and don't have the discipline either. I basically just try and live my life the best to my abilities and try to be the mom and wife I'm suppose to be. It isn't always easy but I am very content with who I am. There is always improvement of course, I'm not perfect but I do love my life and my family and each year I end up learning something new about myself without a resolution.

Every Year we spend New Years with Tylers siblings this year we went to Shontels house and played games had lots of food and did a little karaoke. It was laid back but its always fun to hang out with family!!!
