Back update

Hallie had her x-rays with her ortho and then we got to talk to Dr. T about her brace. She is still at 20 degrees. They are very happy with where she is. Her bones are indicating that she is still growing. Maybe she will get some height. We have to come back in 4 months to check that her brace is still fitting. Good job Hallie on wearing that dumb thing and not fighting it...

Driving and catching up

We are on our way to Boise. Brad, Hallie, Livee and myself. Hallie has a couple doctor appointments. I figured it was a good time to do some catching up.
Volleyball season is about over. We have two games left. It has been fun. Heidi, the 8th grade coach, she is fun. I went to school with her. Its been nice building a friendship with her. The girls are improving. I am getting more used to the fact that my job with 7th graders is to constantly remind them of what to do. Lots of repetition. Savanna has really improved. She can really spike that ball and her serves are amazing. Did I mention before she is getting quite tall. I think she measured 5'6". That is taller than me or Brad. Hallie got the shorts and Savanna got the talls. Its quite cute to see them stand by each other. Hallie has really been an amazing babysitter during this volleyball season. During my away games she really takes care of things at home.
I have been doing the lunch room job. Livee goes to daycare. She started out loving it, but usually cries every time she has to go. My house has been a disaster since I started that job. I know it doesn't make sense to me but it is what it is. I have made a hard decision but have decided to just stay on as a substitute and go back to being a house wife. I am just happier staying home making things better for my family. I gave my notice yesterday. So hopefully things will get a little calmer around here. I was telling Brad the other day that the "Oakley Honeymoon" is over. We are officially involved again.
Canning season is almost over. The poor kitchen is probably ready for a sticky break. It has been good, just messy.
I got another calling at church. Not sure the official name but it is a homemaking board member. I will still keep my nursery calling. I am working on some magnet boards right now. My dad is great at wood working and is going to help me.
Aleena is enjoying 1st grade. She is making lots of friends. She is pretty quiet at school like a little mouse. Jase is doing pretty good. He has been a bit forgetful this year, but this year is the time to learn some responsibilty in the homework and school department. His teacher doesn't let them have recess if they don't do homework. That really will teach him. He can't keep track of his glasses and forgets his homework. He is adapting, but I would rather him learn it now than later. Hallie is in band this year. She is trying the trumpet. She likes it. She too has lots of friends. I love to see her sitting by different kids every day. Livee is my little shadow. She sure wishes she was in school. Savanna does good. I haven't had any problems with her school wise. She is very responsible about getting all her stuff done and still get up for 6 am practice.
Brad's arm is doing awesome. It didn't take him long to recover. He is doing good. Loving his job. It makes me happy to see him so happy.
We are happy here. Loving life. Missing friends and family...
