I am going to attempt....

To finally update my blog. I haven't been blogging much lately... the usual just too busy, haven't felt like it. But most importantly I have wanted to spend some time getting Kenedey back into the routine of things. After we went on vacation she came back and seemed to have fallen out of the routine. Her teacher emailed me and said she hadn't turned in some of her work. I think she just got lazy. I guess that's my "perfect" child reminding me she is just normal. But we are back to normal now. She is doing just fine.

In really big news... KENEDEY MADE THE HONOR ROLL! She has always been a really good student and has always gotten like all A's and then one C. Or like 2 A's a B and then a C+, she just could never cut that C out of there. Well she finally did it this time! She is so proud of herself and we are EXTREMELY proud of her!

She has been really busy with school stuff. She is doing Wildcat Reading Club every Friday after school. She stays after for about an hour and they have a little snack and they can read and take Acclerated Reader quizzes. She loves going to it. Plus I think she thinks it's cool that Kathy (our cousin, Mrs. Bosse) is the Media Center Specialist (aka: librarian, although that word just doesn't seem to do justice for EVERYTHING she does) so Kathy is kind enough to give Kenedey a ride home after reading club. Thanks so much Kathy! We appreciate all you do.

Ken is also getting ready for the Daddy Daughter Dance which is on Feb. 9th. Jason really DOES NOT (and that's putting it nicely) enjoy going at all. The past two years he has talked her out of it by telling her they could go to Carrabba's (Ken's fav. restraunt) and then shopping for fishing stuff (something they enjoy doing together)... well not this time. Kenedey has caught onto his "doesn't this sound funner honey?" thing and basically she told him he was going with her this year! Way to work your daddy girl! She finally doesn't care weather or not he wants to go or if he does, to her now... he's going and that's all there is to that! LOL That's my girl!!!

We got her dress today and shoes and jewelry. I can't show you pictures until next weekend! It's a surprise! I have to tell ya, it was a challenge to shop for her. She is still so young, but so growing into that tween stage. She doesn't want the "little girl" look, but mom and dad don't want the teen look. That makes for a challenge. The juniors section had some adorable cute stuff, but it is just too old for my little girl! I think we came up with a compromise. I can't wait for you to see! Shoes were a whole other problem. She wanted heels... I can't say I blame her... she is such a girlie girl. I don't think full fledged heels are appropriate but I wanted her to be excited for what she did get. Again we were able to compromise. Can't wait for you to see those either!

We made an appointment for Kenedey to see my friend Teresa at Salon Breathe for her updo. I haven't mentioned it a ton here... more so on my other blog, BUT if any of you out there are in the Jackson area and are interested in any salon or spa services... im telling you THIS. IS. THE. PLACE. FOR. YOU!!! They do awesome work! I just got my hair cut today and of course it is incredible as usual. I have terribly thick hair and she is the only one who can cut my hair like I want it. Give them a try! Here they are:

I don't have many pictures to share because I just bought a external hard drive... to back up all my pictures, and I haven't learned yet how to retrieve them to upload them to my blog. Sorry :-( I'll work on that one.

That's enough for one blog, I will have more soon, I am working on a Carson update!! WATCH OUT!
