As of today...

Since my last post of April 2010, the girls have moved on to another grade in school. Jordan is now a Senior and Jaycee is a Freshman at Charlotte High School. Jordan is STILL an amazing artist and so talented. She had one of her art projects entered in the Charlotte County Fair and won 3rd place.

Jaycee is in choir and is taking her first art class in High School. They both a great artists and talented girls. I'm lucky!

Greg is keeping busy at work. Exxon Mobil was bought out by 7-11, so he's had to adjust to new ways of doing things, or not doing things as the case maybe. He was working 15+ hour days for almost two months which was not fun at all!! Things have finally settled down and he now has his assigned territory. At least he still has a job so for that we are thankful. He is still serving as Scoutmaster & YM 2nd Counselor at our church.

Shalee is still working part time as an Office Manager at Counseling Solutions & part time at Peace River Elementary. I'm thinking about going to school, but trying to decide it I'm too old to be able to learn and survive. We'll see! I was release as Stake YW President in our church and am now Relief Society 2nd Counselor. A whole new opportunity for me to learn and grow.

In August we moved from our home in Deep Creek to a home in Harbour Heights. About 4 miles from our old house. We are pretty much settled and adjusted now. Still in the same school for the girls which is good.

Other than that we are just living a day at a time.

Just a few reasons why I still love Florida...




I ♥ NYC

Last August 2010, my "sis" Mary Allen & I went to New York for three days. This was my first trip to NYC! We had such an amazing & fun time. I can't WAIT to go again someday! Here are some pictures from our trip~ Love you Mary!!! ♥

More Florida Wildlife Pictures

I've been having a lot of fun with the camera Greg got me for Christmas. The best thing about Florida is all the wildlife shots I'm able to get. Here are a few I've taken with the new camera.
This one I got today..TOTAL luck. I was on my way to the dentist and I saw the Bald Eagle flying up to the pole. Thank goodness I had my camera in my car!

I ♥ this shot!!! Total luck shot!

Not the best picture of the Bald Eagle, but still cool.

My Sweet 16 Girl

Well, we now have an official 16 year old in the house! Jordan's birthday was March 25th. I think she had a pretty fun day. Went she got home from school we did gave her birthday presents to her, which mainly consisted of LOTS of art supplies. She also got some money (which is always good for teenagers) and I got her a new CTR ring. We took her to Outback for dinner, then she went to one of her friend's plays that she had tickets for. Her friends family took her out after the play as well, so all in all she had a fun day. Here's some pictures of her day along with one of her mini canvases she painted.
