Summer mini update:)

Summer is here!! Yay!! The water has been so nice this year and when we have had the chance to get to the beach we have had a such a wonderful time. Maya loves the ocean, she is a child of the water for sure. If she is near the water she wants to be in the water! We have been having a problem with keeping her clothes on her..even a bathing suit..but I suppose that is ok for now:) Torrie finished the 7th grade with another year of honor roll the whole year!! We are super proud of her achievements in school. This is the 5th year that she has received straight A's and B's. I finished a chemistry class online that I needed for school...and my final grade was an 89 so I was extremely happy with that! I taught myself chemistry..one of the hardest things I have ever done, and a lot of very late nights... but I made it and now I am signed up for the Anatomy class in the Fall along with a math class and I will also be taking a CNA class...so close to being able to apply for the nursing program, please pray that I can handle this load~~~ I am also working a part time job in the evenings so I have been a busy girl. Maya is now potty trained...yeah!!!! I found that the rewards chart really does work, at least with 3 year olds:) Torrie has been enjoying her summer so far, she went camping in WV with her best friend and has started surfing again. She is also trying to get jobs babysitting to try and make some money for herself. Ronnie is plugging away at work and getting ready to record an album with his old band Drill187. He is excited to have a creative outlet. It is hard for him living so far from friends that he used to jam with. It has been a hard year financially for us, but I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and God has lead us this far and will see us through! Until next time:) We love you all~

A happy teenager....yes it does happen sometimes:)


Ronnie found this turtle so we kept it for a few days and let it swim in the baby pool..Maya and Torrie loved it but we let it go after a few days! Torrie named it Larry LOL....


Maya likes to play in the bush in front of our house..she acts like she is in the jungle
