SIX teens?


L to R
Rosa, Amber, Dori ( the dog) Alyssa, Jake
Back row
Koda, Steve

We now have new family members- my brother Bill will be getting married in March in Naples, FL. He is marrying, Yvonne, a mom to 2 daughters- which means they will now have 3 teen girls together.....12,13,14. Can you say - 3 bathrooms and a BIG bottle of MIDOL? whew, this is when 3 boys sounds real good! Just kidding- good kids all of them.

2 - 12 year olds - Steve and Rosa
2- 13 year olds - Jake and Alyssa
1- 14 year old Amber
1- 16 year old Koda

The kids did their Christmas swap this weekend - they swapped by age and gender - and when they handed off we had them tell the other something they learned about them...it was CUTE!

Koda learned Amber is a competition figure skater, she learned he was a wrestler
Jake learned Alyssa loves to cheer, and she said Jake is a ton of fun to be around
Steve learned that Rosa wants to play softball, and she learned that Steve is shy and quiet

We drove up for just an overnight trip....just about all I can handle as I am still not ME! ick. Took Gram with us and she enjoyed the fun too.

*mom, did you notice Jake has BLUE eyes? He agreed it was looking shaggy and allowed mom ONLY to start chopping....should have taken a pic....as he had enough taken off to create a couple wigs. looks much better!!

Off to rest some more...work tomorrow. Been creating cards this morning in bed! :-)

Love the picture AND what a creative idea on "the things you learned". Sounds like everyone had a great time. Tell "Doc" I am glad we can now see those handsome blue eyes.
