HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone has had a great start to the year!!! We just got back from a week at my moms house and had tons of fun!!! The weather was in the 50's for it being in December so we playedoutside EVERY day and ran with the dogs and everything! It was nice to break away from normal every day life and get to relax a little bit. Before we went to my moms we had Christmas at Grammy's and Aunt Brookie and the whole family got to come up here and hang out!!! So all 9 of the grandkids were in Grammy and Popaws house!!! Talk about WILD!! All in All it was a great Christmas! We are very blessed! I promise I will start updating this more often.

Some future things happening. Justin is still at the railroad and will switch shifts sometime this week and will probabbly be stuck on 2nd shift again :( So we will be by our lonesomes until 11pm. I am taking 12 hours this semester and around March be taking the GRE and in October I will apply to Vet school. In the future (once I graduate Vet school) I think Adoption is in our path. Right now our hearts are in Africa especially mine. So we will see what comes of this so be in prayer for that aspect. Lexi will be going back to school next week for her 2nd half of Kindergarten! Can't believe the school year is already half over :( Will has been working on potty training so that is in the works....there are good days and bad....still having trouble with #2 :( Oh well it will happen in time! Well I think that is all from the Rose clan as of now! Hope everyone has a great rest of the week and here are some pictures from our Christmas!

Love,

Kristen, Justin, Lexi and Will

New Happenings!

I have been gone for awhile figured I would get this thing back up and running!!!

Lets start with Lexi, She started Kindergarten this year and so far is liking it! She is having lots of fun and doing very well! She is cheering right now and thinking of possibly doing Girl Scouts. We will see what happens!!! This is a big weekend for Lexi...It is her 5th birthday party! So a big day saturday and looking back I cannot believe she will be 5 years old a week from wednesday!! Just baffles me where time goes....

Will is the wildest 2 yr old :) He is non stop energy and keeps us all on our toes!!! He is learning so much and just amazes me everyday!

I got their picturesdone here in town by a friend and they will be coming soon!!

Justin is enjoying his job after being gone for 8 weeks! He is on 1st shift for 3 months which we love bc he is home when we are and can actually eat dinner with us!!

I am back in school taking physics and philosophy this semester! Hopefully in 2 years I will be in Vet school! We will see how things go!! A lot more challenging than I thought Juggling all of the stuff I juggle!!!

Thats whats new in our world hope everyone is doing great and having a great week!!

Blessings,

Kristen, Justin Lexi and Will

Hello!!!

I hope everyone is having a GREAT start to the 2011 year!!! We have been staying busy busy!!! Work is super busy so besides doing that coming home and getting the crazy kiddos in line we havent done much of anything!!! I have had a birthday and Justin's and Julie's are coming up and this Monday (unless she decides otherwise) Little miss Hatley Jane will be here!!!!! So a new niece and pictures are definately coming :) I am so happy she is getting to come early as I am leaving for work on the 19th!!! Justin has a job potential out there and we are doing the run around with medical work and all before he gets a definate answer... Hopefully beginning in March he will have a new job which will be better for us in the long run!!! Kids are doing great Lexi is getting so much better at school and her handwriting has Improved sooo Much so Proud of her! Will is growing like crazy at his 18 month visit he was 30inches and 22lbs!!! Such a big boy! We are still in the crib he has not once tried to climb out (knock on wood) So as long as he is fine in there he will be in there!!! But he is climbing on everything else!!! he is crazy!! He still takes 2 naps most days but depending on what we are doing he gets one big 3-4 hour nap!!! I think that is the latest and greates from Knoxville will updat once Hatley gets here and once I get back from my trip :) Love you all!!!!
