Wow as i logged on i noticed its been several months that i have posted anything! Life around here has been sooo busy.
Alan is working alot of hours which is good since i am off for the summer now. His job is going good. He has been praying alot about if this is where God wants him or not. He has put his app in at another company which would be better financially for us, but we have not heard back from the guy that he interviewed with. Which is a little discourging but if this is where God wants him then its ok. Aaron(Laniee's boyfriend) is now working with Alan and that is going real good. It is a huge blessing for them. Laniee is currently working at Kum & Go in Ankeny and will probably be going to school in the fall for her CNA. So i have Jayden this summer, that has already been an adventure! I now know why God had me not have anymore after Gary! He is all over the place, so busy! But it has been wonderful! He is starting to talk now and is learning alot! He is growing so fast, maybe a little too fast! Zack got a call last week that he needed to go up to MN to meet with the Batallion Leader for an interview for the waiver. So he went up there last thursday and it went very very well. The Batallion Leader approved the waiver and now it goes to the General and USEREC. Which is the top of the Army Dept. If they approve it then he will be good to go for getting in the Army. The 1st SGT. that i spoke to said they will more than likely approve it, cant gurantee it but they should. We should be hearing about it anyday now. Depending on how busy they are. Alison and Gary are just enjoying their summer. Not alot going with them expect Ali made Marching Band and Wind Ensemble as a freshman for next year, which is super good i guess. So very proud of her! Gary is growing like an uncontrolable weed!!!! He likes to brag lately that he only has an inch left til he is as tall as me, which isnt much but for an 11yr old it is! He went through 3 pairs of shoes this school year, not because they were wore out but because they were too small! As my family is growing up and becoming adults and going through different stages i cant but help think of where the time has gone. Alan once told me awhile back when i was gettin real stressed with their sillyness and fighting he told me "you are going to miss this some day" i thought ya i would like to miss it right now! But ya know i miss it! I have so emotional lately with my little ones growing to adulthood. I have learned a valueable lesson...enjoy them! Even the fights and the little stuff. And dont sweat the small stuff like spills and broken "pretties". Time with them is much more valuable. God has blessed me with 4 wonderful children and he GAVE them to me to raise them for him and his glory, how can i not be grateful! Our newest memeber Samson is getting HUGE! He just turned 6 mos old and is 61 lbs. He has a wonderful personality...when we sit there and watch him and play with him he reminds us alot like Harley. Which is bittersweet. But he fits in with us very well. Kind of goofy and clumsy but its been fun. We have never went through the early puppy stage so it was very trying for us but he is now potty trained even at night! He of course still chews like crazy but is pretty good about gettin a toy when he wants to chew! That was probably the worst of anything...i went through 5 pairs of flip flops already this summer...no matter where i "hid" them he found them and they were toast! I will try not to wait so long next time to post. I am trying to get alot of the things in my life that are unorganized turned around and be more organized! This is 1 of them.
Love to all!!!
