yes, we're still here

Sorry it's been so long since we've posted to our blog. Not too much going on. We are getting Dr. bills in almost every day, and really they're not too bad yet. I will do a post on that later. Kern Valley Sun wants to do a story on Jimi, the editor was crying just by a few of the details I gave her, I will let you all know when that comes out. She is doing good, maybe overdoing it a bit, but she goes back to the Dr. on Tuesday so that will give us comfort again. She is already caught back up in school, and knows most of the competition cheer for cheer leading. She is an amazing girl. Last night I was listening to channel 17 news and they are doing the Bakersfield House for Hope charity event, where you buy a ticket for $100 and you have a chance to win some great prizes even a $400,000 house (in Bakersfield though). I didn't think much then, but then they said the money raised would be going to build a Pediatric ICU in Memorial Hospital, it touched my heart and I hope it touches yours. The bad news is that today is the last day to buy your tickets, but if you would like to the web sight is http://www.bakersfieldhouseofhope.com/?page_id=4 It is a great cause and could have made things a lot better and easier on our family. Now I know it's a blessing that we ended up at UCLA but to have a closer PICU could help so many.

Alex is doing great in school, he is so girl crazy it is unreal. But he is taking better care of himself. Homework is being turned in and grades are looking good, it's just from day to day who his girlfriend will be.

Sami is her normal sweet self, school is not so great for her, but I think she's been distracted.

And Trever, had a great game in Cal City last Saturday, even ran the ball for 20 yards on one play and some other short runs. (this is big for the rookie team) So this game is a home one this week and he will be the running back. They have been teaching the other kids on the team to block, they put 2 big guys on him and he still breaks through, but they are doing better. He is excited to hear his name over the speaker on Saturday,.

And Jim, well he is all smiles because hunting season opens Saturday and he is going hunting after the games, he already has his licence and just came home with his shells. He took Maggie (his English pointer hunting dog) out the other day and she was holding and flushing quail, so he is really excited. I'm glad he is going, he has a great time, and the stupid dog finally gets used!!
