SUMMER IS OVER!

Well summer is over and we are getting back into the swing of things. This summer went really fast. We went to Galveston with some of our family and had a great time. We did not actually get to deep sea fish. We got to fish in the bay for about an hour. The water was too rough. That really sucked! Essie, my cousin, did catch a catfish. We went all the way to the "deep sea" to catch a catfish! We had a really good time just hanging out together. We all overdosed on dramamine I think but, not one of us got sick on the boat! Jason spent 10 days in Chicago and went to several baseball games. He had a great time. Bri swam a lot this summer. We went to the drive through zoo in Glen Rose. It was great. An elk stuck its head in the window and Brianna freaked. It was so funny. Her favorite part was the squirrel we saw running across the road. We bought a boat, and the lakes have been closed all summer so we have just looked at it. My family reunion was great. We had a blast. We did get to put the boat in the water that weekend. We all tubed. I have not done that in years. It was great. I was so sore. Jody told Jason he didn't think that Jason could throw him off the tube and that after 5 minutes Jo would stand up and do a back flip of the tube. Needless to say, less than two minutes later, Jody was in the water and off the tube! I have a new niece that was born on July 5th at 3:31am. I made it in time to see Hannah Ruth Perry born! She is beautiful and loves her aunt! Jason's sister, Traci, got married. It was a gorgeous wedding! My new brother-in-law is great. I also am going to be an aunt again in March! We also spent a weekend with Mike and Carla in their camper at Lake Athens. We swam in the lake and camped. Can't get any better than that! I have decided to go back to school. I am taking 12 hours this fall. I have 2 semesters of classes to take before I can start a RN to BSN program. I am nervous but excited! Brianna is starting kindergarten. We had meet the teacher yesterday. She is really ready to start big school again. I guess that is about it for our summer. We did not take a big vacation this year.

Sansom family update

Jason will be starting a new job next school year. He has accepted a position as the assistant principal of Mexia High School. We are really excited. We spoke with a realtor about selling our house and moving, but I think we are going to stay where we are for now. I am looking into going back to school. SCARY! I am excited, although terrified! Brianna is going to go to the YMCA summer program. She is really excited. They swim everyday. I am excited because I made my last Pre-K payment! I am hosting a baby shower this weekend for my sister-in-law. IT'S A GIRL!! The baby finally showed herself. I thought we were going to have a suprise. I named her! Her name is going to be Hannah Ruth Perry. They will have Vannah and Hannah! My cousin Abe and his wife will be adopting a baby that is due in July. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. I know they are very excited and we are all very excited for them. There are 10 of us going on a deep sea fishing trip at the end of May. It is an all adult weekend! We never do that. We rented a house for the weekend. I am so excited. I will post a picture of the HUGE fish I am going to catch! Well, that about covers it.

Brianna

Brianna did great with her surgery. We are so proud of her. I think Jason and I cried more than she did. She did however tell the nurse that was taking out her IV to get her hands off and leave her alone! What do you say to that. The next week after being home she ate a ton of popcycles. Rachel and Vannah came to stay that next week, since Bri had to be out of school. It was great for me. Rachel cleaned house and did all of the laundry. I told Jason that we made a full time house wife! Just kidding. Despite Brianna's surgery we had a good weekend for Easter. I wrecked one of Dave's planes. That was not good! We had a lot of company and had some good family time. Brianna, Savannah, and Papa DAve made a snowman. Yes, a snowman the day before Easter. Crazy! The kids sat in the hot tub for a while. Then we kicked them out so the grown ups could get in. It was a lot of fun.

It's been a while!!

Well, so much for me keeping up with this. I really intended on it! That should count. We have been busy busy the past couple of months. Jason has a lot of work for school he is working on and then of course work. My job is wonderful!! I love it. I am a lot less stressed out. Kaci and I joined the gym. We started with power yoga and pilates. I am so sore after 2 classes. Who knew you could get sore from stretching and relaxing. Also, I found out that I have extremely poor balance. Now on to Brianna. She turned 5 years old on the 3/30. She is getting so big. On Saturday after her birthday I took her on a birthday surprise. We went to Denton and picked up Savannah and then went to Ft. Worth to the Disney Princess's on Ice! It was fantastic. We all three loved it. The girls squilled and screamed the whole time. It was wonderful. Bri and I spent the night at Joe and Rachels that night. We had a great weekend. Brianna also got a trampoline for her birthday. NO, our child is NOT SPOILED!! Well, she may me just a little spoiled. Brianna had strep throat for the 100th time. She is going to have her tonsils and adnoids out on 4/5. So keep her in your prayers. Granna and Papa Dave are coming down for the surgery. Grandma and Papa Eddie will be coming down on Friday. I am looking forward to seeing everyone. Bri will be out of school for a week. Rachel and Savannah are coming to stay with Bri so that Jason and I can go back to work. Artie is now up to 7 pounds. He has come a long way since his starting weight of 2 pounds. For all that don't remember, Artie is our new dog. He is so cute. Well, I think that is all that has been going on lately. I wll try to get some pictures of the girls at the princess on ice on here. I have had trouble with my computer and our camera. My stepbrother, Justin, was in a bad car accident but he is doing well. He also got bit by a spider and has had quite a bit of problems following that. My brother-in-law, Zade, was in a pretty bad accident at work and fell 20 feet on some metal. He landed on his head and has a skull fracture and crushed his sinus cavity. Please keep both of them in your prayers also.
