A lil update

Well, it's been a little while since I posted, so, I thought I'd share some things before I headed off to bed!
First, we made our trip to Texas to see my Aunt. It was great to see her and my Uncles. It was nice for the kids to really enjoy some time with that side of the family. The girls did so great on the drive and we made it in 18 hrs even with Alexandra getting sick half way through Georgia! After spending some time there, we realized we would be able to sneak in a trip to Tulsa since we were so close. Being a five hr drive, we headed up there and stayed with my other Aunt (Thanks Verna and Randy =) ) The girls loved this as Randy was a super hero and helped them capture some of the most ruthless villains in Jacquelines imagination!! We were also able to sneak in some swim time between thunderstorms! The girls love the water and are swimming quite well with there little swimmers. Jacqueline was not feeling well on our way home but did great and we made it home in about 19 hours.
The day we got home from our trip, we had the girls back to school and we had to meet their teachers. SO, we grabbed some naps and headed to school. We met the teachers and the girls were so excited about seeing their classes.
We rested over the weekend and the girls began classes on the 24th. They have been doing pretty well so far and are of course loving it. Jacqueline was sad that she is not old enough to begin school this year, so I am looking into getting her into some dance classes so she can make some new friends and get out of the house and away from mom for a little bit each week.

Alexandra can finally play all of Twinkle Twinkle little star on her violin. She is pretty excited about that. She is still taking her lessons every week and though it is a fight to get her to practice (too many other fun things to do after school) she loves it and seems determined to get better. She just lost a tooth tonight and was thrilled as it's her other front tooth and now she can whistle through them lol... now if I only had some money to put under her pillow!!! She has two more that are pretty loose, so she will be with out them soon as well I think. She has a revised birthday wish list if anyone is interested in that lol

Makenzie is about the same, just doing her thing. She spends a lot of time texting people and hanging out with her friends. She reads a lot and is not really into toys these days. She is becoming a pretty good helper around the house even puts dishes away from the dish washer now. She wants to help cook, but I'm not ready for that yet. She might get to do cheer leading for basketball this fall. We are looking into it.
Adam was going to make a trip to Ca for work for a class, but there is mix up with his company CC and now he is going to wait until next year to go. So, we will be just hanging out for Sept.

I have a job interview tomorrow, as a receptionist at a vet clinic. Wish me luck!! We are looking to ease some tension in finances for all of the kids extra activities!

Other than that, things are about the same lol
Hope to catch up with everyone soon
