Well I haven't had time to write about the kids lately so I guess I'd better do that. I like to update for friends and family that actually read my blog. I have even received a few comments on my lessons. I appreciate the feedback it keeps me blogging.
Anyway, about the kids, Bryson got invited to a boy/girl party and his mom(me) had issues about him going, so I made a compromise we could both live with. I told him we'd go to the church parking lot and I'd teach him about the car, and how to drive. He didn't do to bad. Although parking is a bit of a concern, we are just glad there were no other cars in the lot. It felt weird teaching him to drive, it took me back to when my dad was teaching me. Bryson got a 4.0 gpa again for his 1st quarter, it was a close one too. He had to go in and do a couple of things in his college class and algebra II class to get those A's but he said it the gratification was worth it.
Bryson also claims for once in his life he'd like to grow his hair out a bit so if you see him looking shaggy, take note he is doing it to say he did at least have one rebellious act. He said, he'd cut it eventually so I acquiesced, but it is not because his mom was too lazy to cut it! Bryson has written and continues to write new songs on the piano, they are pretty good too!
Adam also got a 4.0 gpa, his teacher says he is a perfect child, which we already knew, but it's nice to have others say it too. Adam is doing awesome on his piano and will soon pass Bryson up in his skills.
Olivia is also a 4.0 student, her teacher says, she's always happy and understands the concepts they are trying to teach long before they are finished teaching them. She is way hard on herself and is already looking back on her drawings from the beginning of the year and laughing at herself. As long as she laughing and not berating herself we are okay. She is coming along on the piano as well, not thanks to her teacher(me).
Savanah is, as always our little stinker, she is learning in our little preschool and is my child that has decided if she finds an activity a worthless one she doesn't do it. I have a feeling she and I are going to get along splendidly (That is my way of thinking positively). She has already got a huge sense of humor. She had us and the missionaries rolling at dinner the other night. It wasn't like she was telling jokes or anything, she just had witty comments to spew out everytime someone else said something. I'm not even sure if she gets what she is saying, but as we laugh she laughs and does it some more. She is getting very tall, she's already growing out of all the pants we just bought her for the fall. She is wearing some of the pants that Livy just barely grew out of a month ago. She may pass Livy up soon. That would be funny!
As for my 5th child, Keith is still the Bishop and is loving it. He is enjoying all the new organizing and meeting of new people. We love our new ward members! They are a huge strength to us.
Well I guess that is my update. Now it'll probably be a while till I write, at least till next weeks lesson. Hope your families are all doing as well as mine!

That's good to hear, thanks for the update.
We didn't even know you had a blog. My mom just told us about it. Even though we see you somewhat frequently, we don't often get all the details so it's good to hear what's going on.

You crack me up! I can't wait to see your family. Savanah was already tall for her age but I am excited to see the new height. I am so glad that you updated me on your kids. I LOVE to hear what they are up to. As a side note... I had lots of friends that were guys in Elementary - High school. Sam Saunders & Brady Sprague were some of my best friends. Personally I think that me being around guys who I just wanted to be friends with helped me to develop a good relationship with the opposite gender. As you can see, I turned out fine. You are Bryson's mom and I know that you will do what is best. Maybe for his birthday you could do a boy/girl party of your own and find out what kind of girls he would be hanging out with. To me that is a compromise. Again, not trying to butt in, it's just my opinion. I still can't believe that he is going to be 15 this month.If Thanksgiving doesn't come fast, I think I will go crazy with anticipation.
So, what was your compromise with Bryson, so I know when my kids are asking to go to a boy/girl party. You can't leave me hanging on that one. How did it go?
Your kids are all super cute. All their personalities are perfect. From oldest to youngest. And you two are the perfect parents for them.
