One More Day In Paradise...



Natural Bridge, Payson AZ

Well, here I go.... Christi you will be proud of me, I am finally blogging! I feel so hip and young now. I want to say thank you to my dear friend, and partner in crime, Christi for making this blog possible. It helps to keep those young friends around!!
Summer is coming to an end, in theory that is. (Still 104 today) The kids have started school. Christian in 4th grade and Myka in 3rd. We have started a new school this year, and with much angst the first week, the kids are settled in nicely. Christian is a second degree brown belt in karate, two more tests and he is a junior black belt. Watch out! Myka is one test away from brown belt and Jeff is also a brown belt...you can say that "Every body is kung fu fighting" in our house.
Christian is also playing flag football this season, they have won their first game. Woot! Woo! Myka will be starting softball the end of this month. She is a hitting machine, now if we can just get her to stop catching like a girl!

We had an addition to our family earlier this summer. In May we adopted our little puppy "Goldie". No she is not a Golden, she is a mut. She is half Queensland Heeler and half Border Collie, yes she is a cattle dog. Guess we thought we might need one of those someday?? She has since turned white except for her ears, they are still gold. She has been quite the handful. Daisy our German Shepherd tolerates her to say the least. I don't think I have slept a whole night through since May!!

For those of you who know my parents, they have moved back to Arizona. They couldn't stand the winters there in Upstate New York any longer. Good for us, yah... free babysitting for me. They are living with my brother, Peter, in Tucson right now until Jeff and I can find them a home up here in the Phoenix area. It is nice to have them around.

I will try and make it a habit to blog more often. I know you are all dying to know what is going on in my life.... Yes... I am going to be 40 this year, so you can keep all your comments to yourselves!!! Thank you very much.

I love you all and hope you are doing well.

God Bless,

Alex
