Ok, I don't know how to add pictures at the end of what I have typed. So, enjoy the pictures, then keep scolling down for a little update.
Ivan and I at my first UK basketball game.
Orin made it to the county spelling bee. He came in first in his class, and second in his school, and through 2 rounds at the county.
Ivan and Orin playing with the Legos that Patrick got for his birthday.
Me, being goofy, with a pair of Lukas' sunglasses on that he got for his birthday.
Legos, again
Lukas turns 16!!
Kimball giving Patrick a piggy back ride up to bed.
Orin and Ivan playing a quick game of foosball before bed.Ok, so it has been quite a while since I have had the time to write anything on here. Here is a quick run-down of things going on in the Armstrong house. Ivan is still working for the airlines, (for now), they let quite a few people go, and we thought he was going to be let go as well, but they decided to keep him on. So, since he/we still have flying privileges, we are going to Puerto Rico for Spring break next week. I have entered to run a half-marathon that is exactly one month from today. My mom, 2 sisters, 2 brothers and I are all doing it together. Kimball may also run it, depending on how his knee feels. Also, this Saturday I am going to a scrapbook convention in Louisville. YEAH for me!! Kimball has gone these past 2 days to take the test for his GED. He thinks he did pretty good on it. He is also doing some volunteer work at Eastern State Mental Hospital, and is liking that. Quin is in Fort Knox, Ky., at the Bluegras Challenge Academy. It is a program ran by the National Guard. He will be able to earn his GED, and some college credits. He started it in Jan., came home a couple of weekends ago, will get to come home one weekend a month from now on, and graduates in June. He is doing pretty good in the program. Lukas is liking the curb out in front of our house, to practice his skateboard moves on. He has decided to not take marching band next summer/school year. I would like to see him stay with it, but it does free up our summer quite a bit. Marshal has started playing LaCrosse, and really likes it. I didn't get to see his first game, but some friends of ours from church, said that he played really well. He also goes with Ivan in the mornings a few days a week to play basketball. Nicole had her first year of church Young Women's basketball. She is also currently playing soccer. Rebecca is on her first official ball team. She is playing soccer, and loving it! Orin and Patrick played basketball, and they are also playing soccer. Rebecca, Orin, & Patrick are all on the same soccer team. Orin and Patrick have also started baseball. (I know I'm crazy for letting them play 2 sports at the same time, and that kind of goes against our "rules", of only doing one thing at a time.) Oh, well, it's not as bad, since Kimball can drive and help run kids around. So, that is just a quick little run down of our lives.
