Well last week I turned 31!!! Now I have to say "I'm in my 30's!" not just "I"m 30". There is a difference you know. It was a great week! Went out with the girls on Friday to BJ'S Brewery-very yummO!! Kenra and I would have licked our plates but we were to full!!! (The sauce on our chicken was kickin') Definitely feeling my body's age which makes me really excited about getting the thumbs up on getting back to the gym. I really liked how I felt before my pregnancies (the last 2) when Michael got me a personal trainer for Mothers Day. I felt strong and had a ton of energy, so much that I could out go the kids. I learned a ton during that time so I am ready.
Like I said early I don't really know the format I am going to use for my blog because I have so many things I want to follow. I want to start a Biggest Loser link within my blog but to many of my friends are PREGNANT! And not me for once!
Than I want to follow our families school year. Our school name is Creative Tigers and the mascott is a baby tiger. We are really excited about this next school year even though it brings many knew challenges. Mikayla and Bailee will be taking 1 or 2 classes at the jr high and Chloee is chomping at the bit to learn to read. She is constantly asking me "Whats this word?" so we are going to slowly get her started.
I am thinking also about taking a class at Chandler Gilbert Community College for Photography and Computers. Along that note on bettering myself, I really what to find a worthy cause for our little school to volunteer at 1 or 2 a month. I am looking into age requirements for Habitat for Humanity right now because I think everyone should have a home or their own.
That all being said I am going to be starting something with my year supply store?????? I don't know yet exactly??? We really want to get it started by January of next year but it depends on how much of me there is left at the end of the day.
I almost forgot!!! We have a new addition to our family- Cody!! Cody is one of my real brothers. He is here from Iowa and works with Michael for right now. He is 23 and when I get a good picture of him I'll put it up. If you are wondering how that happen here the 411. Around the beginning of April I got a phone call. Chad, the brother just younger than me, calls me up and says " Do you know who this is?" I knew instantly and without thinking said, "This is my brother Chad!!!" (I was freaking out at this point because I have been looking for him for about 5 years) Well Bailee was standing right next to me and said, "Your Brother????" So I proceeded to throw her out of my room while I rammbled on to Chad. The next 8 Hours consisted of about 3 more phone calls from 3 other brother Louie, Cody and JD all lasting about 2 hours each. In between each of these calls I was calling Michael and trying to update him and also try to keep my kids out of my room. Oi Vey!! Well I made it through that day with the biggest smile on my face, it actually hurt that night! Needless to say I had to explain to my children what was going on so they now know about my birth mother Jayne. They all knew who she was but at that point they thought she was my sister. (I know so Jerry Springer but it worked) They all took it quite well and I will put each of their reactions in their updates. I just thought I would right this down while I was thinging about it, here is all my brothers and sisters so when I talk about them you can refer back to approximate ages (I don't know some of them exactly) I'll put their Dads by them if I know
Daniel-32 ?
Angie-31 ?
Louie-31 (Step Brother) Gary Brittain
Chad- 27 ?
Cody- 23 Gary Brittain
JD- 21 Gary Brittain
Ashley 19 Filo Ochoa
Danny- 17 Jackie
Lynette-15 Jackie
Emily- 14 Jackie
Kimmie- 12 ?
Logan- 8 ?
Oxceedee-6 ?
Azerie- 5 ?
There could be more that we don't know about. Chad lives in California and loves it there. Cody will be with us until he wants to leave. JD will be moving in with Chad this summer. And Kimmie lives with her adopted family (who is the best by the way) the Hurst. They only live less than a mile away and we plan on doing many great big family things together. My girls and Kimmie fit together like peas in a pod.
Enough about me!!!
