So just a little update on everyone.

Jeremy took a weld test at work and he passed. He is now a CERTIFIED Welder. The certification he has is one of the highest certs you can get. He was so happy and I am so proud of him. Now he will be getting a raise and that's always a nice thing. The other nice thing about this is that if he were to get laid off he has better chances of getting another job somewhere else.

I am not sure if you have all heard about the movie Twilight. It was a huge phenomenon. There was a midnight release to our local Walmart even had a party for the fans. Jer was busy playing his video games and I was wide awake so I decided to go check it out. The movie is based a a book series called The Twilight Saga. I bought the movie and decided to buy the 1st book as well. The girls and I watched the movie the next evening and I still didn't get the craze. I decided I would skip reading the book. But then a I was "yelled" at that I had to read the books and how great they were etc... so I gave in. Boy am I glad I did. I read the 1st book "Twilight" in 3 1/2 days. It was awesome. Of course I had to keep going so I bought the 2nd book and read that one in 3 days. Then I bought the 3rd and 4th one and read them both in 2 days. I read all 4 books in 9 days total. It was a total of over 2,400 pages. I was addicted and I still am. I re-watched the movie yesterday with Rylee and I liked it so much more. I am going to start the 1st book again. I never do that. I can't read a book more then once but I am in live the series.

Taylor had been doing a soccer camp. Her regular soccer season is over but the league offered a camp for her age group to give them more training. I am going to be signing her up for another one that they are having at the end of this month. It will last for about a month. It will teacher her better skills and better ball control. She has a lot of skill but with instruction can only get better. She just loves soccer and any extra help I can get her so she can improve I am all for. I love being a SOCCER MOM! School is going good. She has been improving in reading and has been getting great scores on her report cards.

Rylee is doing great. She is in Piano lessons. I put her in a program that offered a free scholarship for 2 months. She seems to really like it so Jeremy and I have deiced to keep her in the lessons. They are pricey but the results at the end are amazing. She will be getting her 1st recital piece this week. She attends private lessons every Wednesday right after school for 30 minutes. My Mother in Law bought her a key board so that she can practice at home. I know how great piano is for the brain so as long as we can afford the lessons she will stay in. I was blown away at the CD of recital pieces they played for us. They only accept Kindergartners and the whole program goes to the end of 9th grade. The played a piece of a 1st grader playing Mozart. It was so good. Another mom I know has her son in the lessons as well. She took lessons for 2 years and she said that after 2 years she didn't play as well as the 1st grader we heard. The website is https://www.hovlandconservatory.org/ If you look at the middle of the page it has a player called Role Model Music you can listen to the kids play. They motto is that all kids stay at the same level. So Rylee should be able to play like too. It's beautiful! Rylee is also in Cheer. She isn't too fond of cheer and wants to try soccer. We are going to put her in soccer next year and skip cheer. But she is doing good and it's so cute! School is going great for her as well.

Diesel is a nut ball. He is doing good. He is talking so much more now and you can actually understand what he is saying. He repeats you alot. We have had a few slips of foul language from his mouth. It's s hard not to laugh because he has no idea what he is saying. But we are working on our potty mouths the best we can. He has been doing really good in his big boy bed. And potty training is coming along. The only accidents he has are poopy ones. And they are no fun. But he is till running around naked and that seems to be going just fine. He is still obsessed with CARS. It's too funny. Here are some funny pictures I have taken of Diesel over the last few weeks.

I bought him a hat for our Disneyland trip. I was on the couch and he had disappeared. Next thing I knew he came out of his room and he had his hat on. I had to get a picture! It was so cute! He had his Cars hat on with His Car PJ's sitting in his Cars chair. lol.. It was so funny.

So lately he hasn't been big on naps but has been so tired in the evening. Jeremy got home from work and was so tired that he fell asleep on the couch and then Diesel was watching TV and fell asleep too. I had to take a picture they look so cute!
