Timberlyn's 8th birthday

Wow I can't believe that Timberlyn is 8 years old. She turned 8 on December 19th and December is such a busy month, we have our Anniversary, like 10 birthdays in our families. Decemeber is always a hard month for me not just because it is so busy and with Christmas and all, but my brother Greg the one that died his birthday is December 31st and he would've turned 39 this year, so it is hard to have all the magic, with him missing, he has been gone now for almost 13 years.

But on the brighter note of things, Timberlyn turned 8 and so on her birthday we had some family cone over for dinner and cake and ice cream, I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, rolls, salad and then had cake and ice cream. I am going to have her a friend birthday party on the 10th of January at the movie theater we are going to watch Marley and Me.

Timberlyn was excited to hand out her invitations to her class today, I had her invite everyone in her class, because it hurts feelings to have someone get an invitation and you don't you know in the 2nd grade.I think she was more excited to give one to a boy named Joel in her class that her and every other girl thinks is cute. So here are a few pics of her opening her presents, yes I know she looks real happy.

Just Crazy Busy

Holy since school started it has been crazy with one thing or another that I don't have time to post or maybe it is just no ambition to post, or nothing to exciting going on in our lives that is worth reporting. Some of my friends needed a new post so here we go.... And you know who you are.
We have been busy with tackle football and Quentyn, he usually has practice 2-3 times a week and games on Wednesday and Saturdays, they are the Vikings and they have won every single game. They are really good, and they just have that winning drive that they are not giving up no matter what.
And then having Webelos den meetings every Tuesday and so that takes up another hour during the day but is alot of fun and I have a great assistant Den Mother and she is so fun and I like her alot and so that makes it all the better to do scouts.
Draydyn has been spending alot of time playing with his cousin and so they take turns coming over to each others houses about 3 times or so a week, he just went on the mountain riding dirt bikes with his Dad, Grandpa Ted, Uncle Brandon and his cousin Brendyn. They had a lot of fun spending the time together. Quenytn didn't want to go because he didn't want to miss his Football game on Saturday and so we got rained on a little bit during Football but it was a GREAT game.
Timberyn well she is still saying that school is borin, but I am wondering if she isn't being challenged enough in some areas of school, but I am going to give it a little more time to see if she gets any better with it, but today it was actually so nice while we were getting ready for school, she didn't complain once while she was getting ready and that is so not like her, I think it is because she had a little puppy that Nana gave her, but we weren't going to keep it and so Nana came and got it awhile ago because Brendyn wants it and so she will have a little episode after school today because it isn't her and there is no doubt in my mind about that, it will happen I know her so well. She had a little spat with the neighbor girls(her best friends) this last week and I couldn't help feel so bad for her she was so sad, her one little friend said that she didn't want to be friends with her anymore because she wanted to play with their other little friend that they hadn't been playing much with and so when she came home she was just crying so hard and my heart just ached for her and wished I could take away the pain she had. But then one of the little firls came over just a little later after it happened to play with Timberlyn and so that has been going okay, but her other little friend still hasn't came around YET, but they did talk yesterday at church, so it's just a matter of TIME now. I can honestly say that girls and their friends always bring so much DRAMA to the house. Boys could care less about each other and can all play together no matter what happens. They are all so different from one another.
