We're back..........

Well hello everyone..... Seems like we haven't posted since Christmas and for this I feel bad. Christmas was very nice. The kids were blessed with lots of presents from grandparents and parents alike. They enjoyed it very much. I made a turkey breast for Christmas dinner and it came out really tasty. The New Year came in quietly. Kieran was at a church dance and Scott, Brenna and I had our appetizer food fest with out him. My birthday came and went. It was quietly celebrated. I don't know if that was a good thing or not. I know I was a little bit upset, but I could not figure out why. Brenna had a combined birthday party with Molly, since her birthday is a week later. They had a sleepover here at the house with some girlfriends from church. They had fun. I made a bee hive birthday cake and they had pizza and a bunch of snack food. February was also the month that Kieran had his first accident. He was hit from behind and then pushed into the car in front. I describe it as being the cream filling of an oreo cookie. He handled himself extremely well. Kieran called his Dad and Scott met him there. Kieran made the initial call to the insurance company. The young lady who hit him, ended up being responsible for the entire accident. The Beetle ended up being in the shop until the 11th of March. It was a long couple of weeks. Scott had to get him to seminary or I had to get him to school or work. Then I had to go pick him up. You don't realize what you have until it's gone. I missed him being able to just get himself anywhere. It's nice to have the little bug back. Kieran is now waiting to hear from his schools. He applied to nine schools. He has heard from one so far. BYU has accepted him for the winter semester, which starts in January. We're also waiting to hear if he is going to get an ROTC scholarship. Lots of waiting. Brenna just finished filling out her schedule for next year. A freshman....can you believe it. She's taking Art and Russian 1 as her electives, plus Algebra 2/Trig, and advanced Earth Science. Her brother had to take biology as a freshman and she doesn't and like her brother she didn't want to and isn't. It's hard for me sometimes because Kieran is a senior and Brenna is going to be starting high school. Where has all the time gone. Kieran brought his cap and gown home last week and when he tried it on, I got teary eyed. Does not bode well for June. Well I better sign this blog off or it will get to long. I promise to be better about posting. And we'll try to get back on track so that you will be able to hear from the kids as well. Oh yeah, maybe from Scott too. Miss all of you...........
