"5 Kids"

Chad will be 20 in September, I'm not really sure where the time as gone. He has been out of high school for a year now. He is working full time for a company called IES and I think he enjoys his job. He has made the decision to move out on his own. He will be moving into his own apartment on Friday... Its kind of bitter sweet. I know he needs to grow up and move on but it is really strange to think about not having one of my kids home at night...I am proud of him for working hard and having goals.

Shelby is happy to say she will be 18 this year(november). She just gets prettier every day and we are very proud of the great young women that she is.. She works hard to keep her standards high. She enjoys dating as much as possible and has a new car she is very proud of. She will be a SR this fall at Mountain view, her favorite classes are sign language and culinary.

Brady is 13 and is almost taller than everyone in the house, and yes I know that is not saying much. He will be in the 8th grade in the fall and is a very social young man. He has found a new love in longboarding. He works a few days a week at water mart and is able to earn himself a little spending money. He is a good young man and enjoys working on scouting things with his Dad. He has already made him claim on Chads old room.

Chase is turning 8 in less than two weeks and is counting down the days. He is very excited to be getting baptized in July. He too as picked up the skateboarding bug. I think he is needing a better skateboard for his birthday. He just finished 1st grade and is looking forward to 2nd grade in the fall... He as the best smile and really loves is momma... He is a good lil helper around the house.

Karly is now 5 holy cow I am not sure where the last few years have gone. She is very excited to be going to school with Chase in August. I have to say I am a lil excited too... She is a good lil helper with the babysitting kids, mostly the babies... She learned to ride her bike in December without the training wheels and was very proud of that. We are really enjoying having these 2 lil kids around with all these teenagers in the house... She loves to spend time with Shelby and she very much thinks she is way older than 5....
