Way too busy

I'm so sorry I haven't had time to post anything. Things have been so busy since the hurricane, it feels like I just can't keep up. I promise once Justin and I come back from our anniversary vacation, I will make sure to post all the pictures that I've been meaning to post.

With the kids getting involved with school, me going to school and all the homework, kids being sick, me assisting on school research and Amanda having her baby, life has been extremely hectic.

Soon, I promise to make it up to you and you will have LOTS of posts and pictures to look at. It will probably be the first or second week of November before I get all that posted. Soon....I promise. :)

After Ike

Things are beginning to get back to normal around here after Hurricane Ike. We've got photos to share and stories to tell but just haven't had the time to post them. Hopefully, we will have some time to do that in the near future.

VIKERS?????

According to the kids......"what do you get when the packers and vikings play each other in the Turner home?"........."VIKERS!!"

So, I was watching the game and down came the girls all dressed up in purple in green, check it out.......



By the way, great game!!!

PACKERS vs. VIKINGS

For those of you who really know us, tomorrow is a huge day for us. Tomorrow the Packers play the Vikings. We are so excited about the big game!! Justin isn't home but it is probably for the best because last time we saw the Packers and Vikings play each other I "accidentally" busted Justin's lip in excitement! Of course the packers royally kicked their butts that game and I was entitled to be excited but I didn't mean to actually make my husband bleed.

Anyway, so because of my love and support towards my husband I am putting Ian in his Vikings jersey; however, if you see me, you will see me in my Packer jersey (even if it is outdated with #4 on it)!

Well, here is what you can expect to see and hear tomorrow at the Turner home! The first 2 are pictures and the last one is a video! Have a great day and enjoy the game!!!

So far behind

I realized I was so far behind on posting so I've posted quite a bit to catch everyone up on what's been going on lately......and to think this is only a little bit of what has been going on in our lives lately. Never a dull moment in the Turner home. :)

Below are 5 new blogs for you to read. Have fun!

Ashlynne's Birthday Party

Thanks to all who came to Ashlynne's 12th Birthday party. She had a great time and is enjoying all her new gifts. Surprise, surprise, I've actually been teaching her how to ride her skateboard (at least what I can remember from so long ago) but she'll have to learn the tricks when Dad comes home because I could never do anything "cool" on a skateboard.

Here are a few pictures from her party. A lot of them came out really dark so I only posted those that we could see a little better. By the way, Ian absolutely enjoyed rolling skating. I couldn't believe how well he did. He skated from 12-4 and still cried when we had to take the skates off him. (Someone might be getting skates for Christmas this year).

(Sorry - Lots of red eye in these pictures - I didn't have time to fix them)

Back in School

We are now all officially in school. The 3 girls are all in junior high (7th grade) and they love it. All 3 of them are in basketball and in addition to that Elyse is in Art, Valerie is in Drama and Ashlynne is in Computer/Home class (where they teach you how to cook, sew, etc).

Gersito is in 5th grade. So far he is "okay" with it. He says he likes his teachers. I have signed up for PTA for both schools so I can try to keep tabs on all of our kids since they are getting older.

Justin and I have started classes as well. So far Justin has been able to keep up with all of his classes while working and I'm taking classes, working on research for 2 professors and studying for the GRE. I thought I had until end of next year to take the GRE & apply for the doctorate programs but I just found out I should have all that done by the end of this year. So, I'm just behind a year....no biggie. :)

Well, here is a picture of our kids' first day of school. Aren't they cute?
