I started this post on Britton's birthday which was what almost 4 months ago. Today I decided add to it and post it. My Brit is 15 now. He can legally drive with an adult. He played his first Varsity football game as a sophomore. Scary. He thinks girls are hot and that he is a chick magnet(OK that is to be debated). He is really smart but doesn't think he is. He is able to make friends easily and people like him. He knows how to push my buttons better than anyone in the family and that can lead to some heated contention. He knows how to make me laugh hysterically. I spent the first 4 years(OK probably like 12) of his life expecting him to be able to do things that much older kids could do because he was so mature for his age and I tended to forget that. I spent the first 4 years(OK probably like 12) of his life apologizing to him because I forgot how young he was. I see my 3 year old nephew Skyler and I miss my sweet Britton. Not that he isn't sweet now but he is a teenage boy trying to grow up and away from his mom. I miss the hugs and the "mommy love" that you get from a 3 year old but that would be totally creepy from a 15 year old. I am glad Brit is growing up. I just miss the little Brit. I love him. He is a great boy and I really am looking forward to the next 5 years that he is still mine and not his wife's. Love him

Summer

Where to begin. School is out. Yeah no more worrying about homework and late nights and waking up to be to school on time(we were actually late for the last day of school-sad). Malia has been loving it. I make her work out with me everyday-P90X. We have been bike riding, running, walking, played tennis. It has been awesome. The boys have had no break. They have been at wrestling camp for the week. Wrestling is hard and Brit did not want to go but Robbie told him it was go to camp or start picking weeds at Bangeters. Monday morning he was up ready to go wrestle. Robbie has been commuting and it is old all ready. He leaves at 6 so that he can be up there by 7. The gas is eating up my fun money budget. He is excited about it though. He says he has some great kids and is looking forward to working with them. We are in such a crazy state right now. We need to be in BC so that our kids can get up there and feel apart of the school and community. We are still trying to sell the house. We have offers and then they fall through. I feel like we have put everything on hold because we are moving but who knows when. We need to get on with our lives. Robbie and the kids are so tired of the crazy lady that has started to live much more frequently at the house. So am I. I wish she would go away. Sometimes I don't want to make my bed or do the dishes. Sometimes I want to keep all the blinds closed and sit in my bathrobe and eat rice crispy treats and watch TV. Crazy Lady won't let me because someone might be coming to see the house. UGGGHHH.
