What has everyone been up to lately? I miss all you girls!

Alyssa finished school for half term yesterday so she's off for the next week. My laptop is slowly dying on me so I don't get online as often as I used to. Hayley recently bought her first car, it's a little silver ford KA, i almost have a panic attack everytime i think of her driving around in it!

Not much here. Work for me and school for the kids. I forgot to tell everyone that Chelsey broke up with her boyfriend, but he's still living at her mom's. They bought him a truck, but we are buying the gas. He's such a good kid and we all feel so bad for him. I told Chuck that she broke up with him, but we didn't! Chelsey got accepted into Oklahoma State University where her mom and dad went. She's only ever wanted to go there. We found out the two days before Christmas and are very proud of her. Samantha is no longer doing gymnastics, but she is back at her old gym doing cheer and tumbling and absolutely loves it! I think I might have a cheerleading in the making! LOL Other than that, preparing for graduation for Chelsey and we are planning to take Samantha on a cruise this summer with our old next door neighbors.

just very busy with work here. abby's been taking piano and doing pretty well. we've had a lot of errands, appointments, family stuff, etc. lately.

this weekend i'm going out with friends, so i'm pretty stoked about that. and maybe i'll even get to go shopping for my dress for my brother's wedding. brant said if i don't have time this weekend i can go next weekend.

i've also been doing a lot of reading. i'm super addicted to my kindle...but i always have a paperback on the side too.

Not much going on here. T starts his Feb Vaca at 1:25 today. That will be fun, LOL. C has his 4 year c/u today as well. And B...well she's a 2 year old girl. Let's just say the attitude is already starting.
As for me.. I've been focusing a lot of time on decluttering our apartment. Squeezing all of us, plus all of our crap into this tiny 4 rm apt has been killing me. Then I realized most of our crap we never use/look at. So, I've been getting rid of a lot of stuff. And I've been working on our routines. Especially since I've been slacking when it comes to C's "school work" heh. Aparently alphabet crafts and basic math fun isn't enough. He's forgetting a lot of letter soungs he knew, so we are focusing on our alphabet again and including B with us now that she no longer naps. Over all: just busy around here.
