Allie Rai has continued to improve greatly. Her stomach issues are rarely even mentioned anymore. She is gaining weight and is doing great in Gymnastics. She reached level 3 (Competition Level) and is excited about her first Gym meet. I would love to give you the date, but I don't know it. I'll post that later when I ask the Mrs's. School is going good for her and she loves the additional homework that 5th grade hands out in comparison to 4th. That is not entirely true, she not excited at all about it.
We took a trip to Atlanta last weekend to watch our high school football team play in the dome. That night we took the girls along with Jessica & Shaun (Sister and Brother-in-law) out to Hard Rock Cafe Atlanta. Well a certain song comes on, and Allie Rai starts dancing in her chair. The waiter see this and asks her if she wanted to dance, and this kid jumps up, runs out in front of the entire restaurant and literally just breaks it down. Other waitress's all came over and Allie Rai brought the house down. When she was done she was given a standing ovation from the crowd. I have this on video and will load it soon to post. However i have a picture I can post now... She is her daddy daughter!!!!

Dawn is doing great. We are a freshman now 9th grade. Yaa! Cheerleading has started and I believe their first game is next week. She will be cheering for 9th and 10th grade this year. Won't be long and she will be cheering for Varsity Packers.
We have another boyfriend. Again, I can't begin to express my excitement there. He seems like a nice kid. This one is year younger. I like that. He also seems easily intimidated. I like that too! I really like that. If the relationship makes it past the 3 week mark then I will pull the "DADD" speech out of my box to speeches and hand him one. I will explain to him that it is in his best interest to hold on to that speech, and learn it, live it, love it. Because I only give nice ones once.
Mandy is going great. Still hot and still putting up with me. Nothing new there..
Other news: Mandy and I will be flying out to Idaho Sep 19th to check out the area. We are still on the fence about what we want to do. I feel like a trip out there will probably give us a better idea of what we are facing. I will give updates on this at a later date. This should be interesting. Neither of us has ever flown. We will be flying out of Tallahassee to Atlanta, from Atl to Salt Lake, then from Salt Lake to Idaho Falls. I'm sure I'll be fine. Mandy on the other hand.. well that is to be determined..
Dawn, Ava (My Niece) and some good looking fella.. |
