Finally someone from our family has gotten on again to update our post. And, surprise surprise, its not the parents! You can pretty much count on the kids to be the most excited about the blog, since we don't have one of our own. :)
Here we are in the beginning of February with our lives still as crazy as ever. Nathan and I have had homework coming out of our ears, but surprisingly, we are doing very well getting it all done, although sometimes we are not the most efficient in doing so.
Mom is continuing to be not only a mother but also a house cleaner, teacher (at home), PT, wife, bus driver, chauffeur, and the list goes on. She is currently planning to go to Colorado to visit her family, leaving Nathan and I home with dad. I don't know how many of you know what that means in our house, but I can assure you it is going to be a week of grilled dinners, cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and a lame attempt to get the kids to eat anything healthy. Ok, maybe I am exaggerating a little, but you get the point.
Nathan is continuing to be a very studious and doing very well in school, though you would never be able to tell from the way he acts at home. He is currently very into hard rock Christian bands such as Skillet and Red and plays this music every day, much to the ear-splitting dismay of the rest of the families:P He just went to the Red concert and thoroughly enjoyed jumping up and screaming the lyrics with the rest of the hard rock fanatics who were there. He is also currently on a basketball team for the Upward League and is improving his boxing out and rebounds every game. His height has also made him quite the star, as he is taller than most of his teammates. Dad is the assistant coach. Despite all of the 10 year old boy obsessions, he is very cuddly and loving towards his mom and dad and loves the night-time family reading that occurs most every night.
Well, I guess that leaves me now... Currently I am playing club volleyball with the Albuquerque Rebels Volleyball club and absolutely loving it. I have inherited my dad's height, making me one of the taller ones in the league. I can proudly say that I am at the net most of the time, enjoying the thrill of spiking the ball back over the net. Another one of my interests is what every 13 year old girl likes to do: Sleepovers! I have learned this year that the most popular and most amusing game to play at a sleepover is truth or dare, especially when you have friends that are very NOT into pop-culture fashion and girlyness. However, I still am not able to wrap my mind around where the name sleepover came from because, as I am sure a lot of you know, sleepovers include just about anything but sleep.
Hope to read your comments soon!
