I've been blessed!!!

Just look at these three babies and disagree with me! I have been blessed! Here are a few updates on these brown-eyed beauties: Jada Elise

Jada is 8 years old and in the third grade. She makes straight A's and puts pressure on herself to do well. Jada is also a social butterfly...friends with anyone and everyone! She started a musical theatre class at Abilene Performing Arts Company this year and is loving every second of it! She is also playing third base for her fall softball team, Pizzazz! She is a leader for the team and often puts too much pressure on herself, but is an awesome third baseman and a hard hitter! She makes us proud every day! Basketball season is approaching, and Jada is excited to be playing again! I am helping coach her team this year, so we'll see how she feels about it after a few practices! She is a great big sister and still one of my best friends!

Jennika Ann

My skinny Jenny is growing up so fast!!! She is six years old and in the first grade! At her first six weeks conference, her teacher ranted and raved about how wonderful she is! She is an excellent student (straight A's as well), and she has a good group of friends. I think she is actually a better reader than Jada was at this point...probably because Jada is her teacher at home)! Those fingers still go in her mouth when she is nervous or tired, but her teacher just gives her a little wink and she pulls them out of her mouth! Jennika is FINALLY getting to play soccer, and, of course, she's the MVP of the team! I am not just saying that because I am her mom either! She is the only first-year player and is by far a stand-out! She is blessed with natural athletic ability and is very humble about it all! She moved to second baseman and lead off batter for the Pizzazz and is also getting geared up for basketball! The fits are few and far between these days, and she makes me a very proud momma!

Jordan Daniel

This boy!!! Just like his sister, Jada, Jordan finds a friend wherever he goes! He does not leave the house without at least one football in his hand, and he always manages to talk his new friends into playing! He LOVES to play catch with the football with his daddy...he can catch with his hands and has a mean rocket of a spiral! He's very thoughtful and sweet, just like always, and he gets his sisters a treat every time he and I go to the store! He is the pride and joy of his Miss Mary (Randy's Great Aunt & Jordan's babysitter), and she is sticking it out for two more years in the daycare business just because of him! We are blessed! He talks about wanting to play football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and golf, and if it's my guess, he'll be great at them all! His turn comes this winter with basketball at the YMCA! Both of the girls started when they were three, and now it is time for him! He can't wait!
