Miss Jenny

Well, I have decided to start off the new year with a post each month about one of our kids to keep everyone updated on how they are doing. For January, I am going to do Jenny. Jenny is in 7th grade this year. She is going to turn the BIG "13" this July. Another teenager in the house...Lord help us!!!! LOL. Jenny started out the school year playing basketball on the East Prairie 7th grade team. He basketball team did awesome. They finished their season 15-4. They won their Little Okaw Conference but were defeated in the championship game at Regionals to end their season. Now we are full swing into Volleyball. Jenny has been playing really well. She needs to work more on her serves, but so far, they volleyball team is 5-0. Volleyball will be over mid March, and then she will be done with sports until summer when she plays softball. We definately need a break from March to June. Especially with 2 new babies coming:)

 

Christmas Part 2

This year at Christmas, the girls thought it would be fun for all of us to wear footed pajamas Christmas morning. So, I went along with them and got me a pair of pajamas. It was alot of fun. Might have to start wearing matching pajamas every christmas...New fun tradition:) 

The Guys!

The Boys got jersey's of their favorite football player for Christmas. So here are some fun pics of the guys and their jersey's. Jake is a Viking fan, Austen wanted an Alstott throwback jersey for the Buccaneer's and Jordan wanted a Clay Matthews jersey for the Packers..and of course Jerry threw on his  Polamalu jersey and proceeded to remind the boys that his has a Super Bowl emblem on it..LOL...A House Divided:)

I will post a video of their routine after this weekends competition. Their first competition was in Charleston, IL on Jan 14th. They did awesome and placed 1st. They also qualified for State at their very first competition! This means they will compete in March for the Class 1A title @ the Assembly Hall in Champaign, IL. They will be performing this weekend in Clinton, IL and then on Feb 4th they have a competition in Tuscola...at the Tuscola competition, Jami will also be doing a Hip Hop solo. Also, at the Tuscola competition, the Warriorettes select Senior boys to be "Warrior Babe's" our nephew James has been selected as on this year. This means that at the end of the competition, the "Warrior Babes" will perform a dance routine the dancers teach them. Its always a crown pleaser and so hilarious to watch. I will definitely post the video of James dancing for everyone to watch:)

WOW.....Can't believe it's 2012 already! Hope Everyone had a fun New Years Eve! Here is a recap of our 2011 year! I am going to start youngest to oldest with the kids:
Jenny turned 11 this summer, and she is now in 6th grade. She played on a traveling softball team all summer. We traveled all over for different tournaments. She played in the softball World Series on July, we stayed in Indianapolis for a whole week of softball for it. We had alot of fun and Jenny made some new friends. AND softball is starting back up this month. She will start indoor tournaments in February and March.
Jami turned 17 this year and she is a Senior. In March, her dance team qualified for State. They performed at State and placed 5th. Jami has had a busy year. dance camp most of the summer, powder puff football, dancing at all home football games, and then dancing at Memorial Stadium in Champaign when the football team played for the state title in 1A football.
Jessica turned 20 this year and is on her Sophomore year at Parkland. She is working toward her degree in Dental Hygiene. She just got a 4.0 and made the Dean's List. We are so proud of her...She has managed to go to college full time and hold down an almost full time job! She is still dating her boyfriend Austen. They have been together for 2 1/2 years. He is also going to Parkland. He is almost finished and will have a degree in Criminal Justice!
Finally, Jordan and Amber....Jordan turned 22 this year. He is still in the Navy and he is planning on making a career out of it. By age 38, he will be retired from the Military! Jordan and Amber did a vowel renewal in May. It was a nice ceremony and a fun reception. They got married in 2010 on the beach of St. Augustine, then had a ceremony in May for family and friends back home. On October 30th of this year, they celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary. Jordan and Amber are currently stationed in Jacksonville, FL....Well, actually Amber is in Jacksonville....they finally got housing on base. They moved into a brand new townhouse on the base....But....then the day after Thanksgiving, Jordan had to deploy. He is currently in Qatar. He will be there until June. We have been able to skype with him a couple times. Below is his address if anyone wants to write to him while he is away. I am sure he will appreciate all mail.

Jami's Senior pics.

Finally.....Football is over, and we finally found time to get Jami's Senior pictures taken. She wanted to have it done when the leaves were changing, but because of football and dance, time slipped away. So we had a friend of ours...Rachel Ray....take some pictures of Jami. They turned our really good. I also had a couple taken of Jami and her cousin James since they are graduating together, and also some of Jami and Jenny. I will be placing my order soon and you will be receiving your pictures in the mail sometime in January! Here is a sneak preview of some of the pictures that Rachel took.

Jimmy "aka The Dark Knight"

I wanted to take a minute to brag on our nephew James. He is a Senior this year and he is having an amazing year in football...So far James has scored 10 touchdowns and has had several interceptions, and fumble recoveries. We enjoy going to all the games just to watch him play. The Warriors have had another amazing year. We just won our game in the final four in Playoffs. Now for the 6th straight year, the day after Thanksgiving, we will be at Memorial Stadium in Champaign, IL watching the Tuscola Warriors play their last game of the season and we hope by the end of the game, we will be Class 1A State Champions!!!!!!!!!! We are so proud of the whole Warrior football team and especially James. He has not only had an amazing season in football, he was also the recipient of an award for being great on the football field and also having straight A's in school. James and one other player received this award. This is definitely an accomplishment for him to be proud of. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!
