So as you can see I am absolutely horrible at this. But thats alright!! Lots has been going on here, but nothing too exciting. Lets see, we got a dog in April! Yes, I got the one I wanted. He's a Malteepoo. Cute, cute, cute! We named him Bently. Jay wanted to name him Zilla because if he had to own a girlie dog it needed a manly name. But, No Way!! We decided on Bently because its a manly and expensive car. At least thats how I won the name the dog game. He has been really great. He thinks he is so scary and tough. I didn't think about the fact that I was adding yet another name to remember when I am trying to get one of the kids attention! HEHE!!! I do just love to torture myself!
Skipping a few month later, we went to Destin, FL again for a family vacation in July. This was the first time in 11 years that the whole family has gone (Jay's mom and dad and both of his brothers and their families). It was a full house! We spent lots of time at the beach and at the pool. And thank goodness no sharks this year. This was the first year we haven't had to take a pack n play, bottles, strollers and basically lots of baby stuff. Can you say AWESOME? We could actually see out the back of the van. Okay, so maybe you have to experience this a few times to really appreciate that. We had lots of fun and came back a bunch of bronze goddesses!
Right at this very moment we are having a family Wii night. We got some new games and its hillarious watching everybody try to work the controllers to play. Everything Samantha does looks like she is swinging a baseball bat!! Jay and Ash are playing this cycling game and they look like their dancing! LOVE IT!
The kids start school in a week. Bitter sweet! It will be nice to have a few hours of quiet in the middle of the day, but they are a lot of fun to have around. Especially when they aren't grounded. But they are ready too. You know the I AM BORED thing gets pretty old after a while. Sammy will be in 6th grade. I can't believe I have a 6th grader. She had a camp 3 weeks ago at the middle school and she had boys asking her to go out. She said no, but I want to cover my ears every time I hear these stories. And its only the beginning. I don't know if I will survive the next 14 years with these girls.
Just a side note: I am pretty sure Landon thinks the phrases, I HATE YOU and YOU ARE A MEANY are sweet endearments. What are parents teaching their children these days? Oh wait that would be me! Shoot I forgot one he just reminded me of, YOU ARE A BIG STUPID. I am feelin the love!

Thanks for the update! It sounds like things are going well. The kids are adorable. I can't believe Samantha is in the 6th grade! I like the compromise you came to on the name Bentley for your dog. I think it works nicely. I am glad to hear things are going well. Love ya,
Jake
