update

oh my goodness i am so far behind. so much time has gone by and so much has gone on. here it is the end of summer and i have not posted once.

well.... cortney is a big girl now and graduated from high school :(
i am so darn proud of her, she got a scholar ship to attend bridgerland and is going into the dental assistant program. and of course she is not loving being a grown up. but she is having a great time hanging with friends and is gone most every night. lets just say she is in the pursuit of a boyfriend and there is a certain one that she has her eye on. you go girl....

denver is all done with elementary and will be starting middle school. oh no.... he is loving his motorcycle and is an amazing rider.

brandon is all grown up it is official.... he is moved out has a full time job and has found a wonderful and cute little girlie friend. i cant wait to get to know her better. it is so fun to watch him be smitten, in love.

grannie and gramps took us ( the fam minus brandon) to Oregon coast for cortneys graduation. it was a  l  o  n  g  ride. but it was also very beautiful. the ocean is always relaxing. however it was mighty cold. so we did not spend much time there. 

well just a little up date. now i get to try harder to stay caught up on my blogger.

loves.... brenda

Baby 18 is not to good to you!!!!

So my Girl turned 18 just shy of a month ago. Wow that is so weird seems how I am only like what........25?!? My babies are growing up! This is not a easy thing for me. Blah blah blah...anyways......... Cortney wonted me to update my blog and let ya all know how 18 is treating her.

I don't think she likes it. She is an adult know.... ouch.... much responsibility...... bills ...... job..... school.......!!!

That is the least of it though. We bought her a car....(it was love at first sight, she named her Jane) just a car not a big deal, real cheap, so she could get to school, get to work, but most of all so she would leave the house once in a while!!! Feel all grown up and stuff. Ya know.

She really wonted a new phone. A blackberry. So ..... I went and got her a blackberry. (she has to pay the data plan)

2 weeks ago on her way to work. she was being all responsible and grown up and stuff. the transmission went out in Jane. Ouch.. that's over 600 smack a roonies plus labor. not going to pay that on a $200 Jane no matter how much love there is.

And then yesterday....... heading to school...... she realizes that she put the cute little blackberry on the trunk of the car and headed down the road. She was is in tears when she came to the lunch room to let hot lunch lady know about the mishap. "Go home and retrace all your steps look on the road every where" I said. Another 1/2 a day of school missed. Not a big deal right. And no trace of berry.

The 2 loves of her sweet little life have been taken from my 18 year old girl. What a tragedy it is. This 18th year. Its not off to a good start!!!

You all can rest assured her momma wont let dear Cortney be unhappy and she ran right out and got that girl a NEW berry.

Now as for the car that will have to be her daddies department. (don't let your girl down dad)

The rest of the year must get better for her.... It only can right????

Love ya!!!
