It's been awhile.......
Hey Everyone--
First of all I am the worst blogger ever! It's been forever since I have updated this ----Sorry. Well, things have sure been busy but now that I have a new job, where I don't work 45 hours a week hopefully I will keep this up better. I am now working with Evergreen Playschool as an "two-year old" teacher. I am very excited to be back in the classroom --that is where my heart is. My work schedule is so much better and I get lots of time off around the Holidays so I am super happy. Everyone here is doing well. We had to make our first trip to the emergency room last weekend. Abagail got her first set of stitches thanks to her big brother . Michael was out back messing around with his new "driver" (golf club) and Abbeys face just happen to get in the way. It was an accident and of course, Micheal felt terrible about it. She was a very brave girl -- she didn't even cry at all. She's a strong one. She kept asking me if Michael was going to get in trouble because she knows it was just an accident. He was worried about her and she was worried about him--too sweet!
We finally made our first road trip this month. We went to "Texas" for the 4th of July. It was nice spending a holiday with family and seeing everyone. The kids went down to Texas for a couple of weeks at the end of June and spent time with my Dad and Brenda and then with my Mom. They sure had a great time but Kenny and I sure were missing them. (The house was way quite.......) So, what did Kenny and I do without the kids..... we went to the movies, we played in a pool tournment, and we went down to Tunica to go gambling. We won $150. 00 that went to our "new fence fund" for the house. We started a fence last month and did alot of landscaping out front so the house is looking great!
The kids start back to school on August 11th. Michael will be going into the 6th grade so he is starting middle school. We were going to put him in a private school but it was very expensive. We did put in a Transfer letter to the school board requesting that he goes to Millington Middle so hopefully, this will all work out. The middle school that he is suppose to go to sits right on the county line and they bus kids from "Memphis City" to this school. No Way!!!! I might be homeschooling if Michael doesnt get accepted but I am hoping it will work out. Abbey will still go to Lucy Elementary which is a great school and she will start the 4th grade. Tackle football practice starts this week and of course Michael is way excited. Go Millington Trojans...... Abbey hasn't starting anything yet she can't make up her mind what she would like to do. (Maybe soccer, gymnastics, or cheerleading well see.) She did get a drum set at the beginning of the summer and she can ROCK OUT! I need to find her some lessons soon. Check her video out below.....Kenny is busy working and he has started back into playing Golf---Yeah! It keeps him happy so that's important. I really need to find me a hobby or a recreational anything-just something! Well, I promise to update again sometime in the future.. I hope you all are doing well, and we miss all of our friends back in Hawaii. Take care!

We finally made it.....
Hi family and friends-
First, I would like to say sorry for not updating this since Christmas time---it's been really crazy. Well, yes we are finally here in Millington, TN. The first words that come to mind are COLD, COLD, COLD! It sure is alot different than Hawaii but we are getting use to things. We had about three inches of snow the beginning of March and poor Hannah didn't like it one bit. We would say "Hannah let's go out and go potty", and she would just start shaking all over. (Poor girl.....) We have to get her a doggie coat to keep her nice and warm. What a cultural shock for everyone. We do miss all of our friends and Johnna Bona back in Hawaii---Aloha guys!
We love our new home and we are all unpacked and settled in. Michael's got the upstairs gameroom for his room and he thinks that's so cool because the big TV is upstairs in his room. Abbey is down stairs with us but on the other end of the house. We painted her room a really cool- High School Musical Theme! It's alot of pink and purple with all kinds of stars- it's really cool. The kids are loving thier new school Lucy Elementary -they get to pick from three choices of what they want to eat for lunch everyday. (They just think that's wonderful.) Michael's teacher is Mr. Mickinez and he is really enjoying his class- he's a great teacher. Abbey is doing good too, her teacher is really nice and she is making new friends. Her first priority was to race all the boys in her class to see who she could beat. (Got to love her......)www.SCSK12.org/SCS/elementary/lucy/default.htm
We have a new addition to our family---it's a puppy! I know what were we thinking!!! She is a cutie though. Her name is Mia and she is a yellow lab (we love her......) now Hannah on the other hand does not know what to think of her just yet- but I hope after some time they will become the best of friends. We had to leave our cat "Roxy" back in Hawaii with our good friends Robin and Jeff. So I guess to make it up to the kids we though a puppy would be a good idea-yeah right! (What a Sucker....)
Kenny has been very busy with his new job but he is really enjoying it and of course we are happy that he will be around alot more now that he is not flying. He is also so close to the house- I think it takes him five minutes to get to back and forth from work. I have also started back to work as well. I am the new assistant director for Bright Ideas Preschool and Enrichment Center in Bartlett. It's about 16 miles from the house so it's not to far. It's a whole lot different than teaching but I like the Director that I work with her husband is retired Navy so we have alot in common. The down side of this job is that I worked 45 hours this week. (blah, I have never been so tired in my life.) I do enjoy it alot and my family is being very supportive so that is a big plus.
Johnna is doing good back in Hawaii---We miss her greatly but she is doing her thing and we think that's GREAT. She finished her first CDA class and now is taking her second.
Take care-
