Not much going on around here lately, just trying to get by.  Kids are going stir crazy with out the hustle and bustle of Motocross and 4-H activities, however Bill and I are staying busy as usual working our lives away.  Thanksgiving has come and gone, it was nice to have Kenz home for a week and shortley she will be home again for Christmas. Usually this is a exciting time of year but this year not so. So many problems going on everywhere is making this season hard to get excited about or enjoy.  Hope the kids understand Christmas this year is going to probobly be different from what they are used to, but whats important is that we have each other. Homeschool is in full swing, the kids are reaching burn out LOL.  I have realized that I have accidently been assigning Aiden 2x as much Grammer,Spelling and Reading as needed so he will finish the 3rd grade in these subjects 1/2 way through the year so I am trying to decided wether to move on to 4th grade material to finish the year or find another 3rd grade program and review, he did quite well the first time however Spelling can always use more work I think its a testosterone issue LOL. Bentley is doing great from his colic surgery only 13 more days until he can be ridden again, he is ready, he is mopping around like he is depressed, he really enjoys the time he and Hunter spend riding together, so I hope he gets back to his normal self.  Dalton is dieing to get back to racing, we have offered to hire him a personal trainer and he has shown no interest I am beginning to wonder just how much he wants this Motocross career. He just doesnt get it, and I am afraid it may be to late before he does. I really dont want him to regret his decisions later in life, This could be the one thing that stands between him and his dreams and he wont listen to us. Working at the Veterans home started out very difficult, had a very rude and unpersonable cooworker but she is slowley coming out of her shell.  I have never worked a Monday through Friday job before no weekends or holidays and 8 hr shifts before, I have always had to do weekends worked 12 hr shifts and had to work holidays so this is a nice change.  And the pay aint bad either It couldnt have come at a better time either.  Well hope everybody else has a wonderful holiday season. God Bless Everyone!!
