Welcome to 2014

It’s that time of year again when everything is starting new again and I realize that I have gone another year with out blogging anything and wish I had. I always start the year off well with big plans of keeping up with it and than I get frustrated with it or run out of time and just give up on it. I do like to do it and would like to keep up with it so I can have memories all in one place and maybe even print off a book for each year. 2013 was a year that I am not sorry is over. I think a lot of people feel this way about it. We have all been extra busy this year. Scott is still working at Warn Industries and only had to work one job this last year. He did have a bunch of health issues over the past year and had heart surgery in early December. He is feeling much better now and hopefully will be feeling much better for 2014. Angela went back to work this last year. She is currently working as a substitute assistant aid for the Oregon City School District. It is only part time but is getting lots of hours and is happy she works the same hours that Nick and Allie are in school and has the same days off that they do. Nick just turned 10 years old in December I can’t believe he is ten all ready. He is doing great in school and is still playing the piano. He is playing basketball this winter and Scott is coaching his team. They both seem to really be enjoying it. His favorite things to do are play games on his IPAD or anything electronic, Legos and Nerf Guns. Allie is 6 years old but will be 7 in a month. She is in the 1st grade and is loving school. She is becoming a great reader and is quiet sociable. Her report card last year said “Allie is not only loved by everyone in Kindergarten but by the whole school. “ That really sums her up she still has her ups and downs but is very social and knows everyone. She played soccer last fall and was quite the dynamite out on the field she gave 100 percent the whole time and was one of the best players on her team. She is still continuing with dance which she loves. I would like to get her into gymnastics but she really wants to do taekwondo which I am sure she would be excellent at.
