So it has been forever since I wrote my last blog. I have been thinking about it for the last couple days....so here I am!

A lot has happened since my last post. We got a new dog in Feb. He was about 7 lbs when we got him and he is well over 40lbs now! He is crazy big, well at least from the time we got him. He is half boxer and half something else. They say he will probably be 60-80lbs. HUGE! He is needy and laid back at the same time. Oh I forgot to tell you his name. It's Sugar Ray. Anyways, he is great with the kids but needs around the clock attention though it is hard to give it to him.

In April Miles Lamont was born. He was 7lbs 13oz. He had to stay in the NICU for a week due to some pneumonia. He healed up quick and came home after that and has been doing great ever since. He started smiling last week. Super cute! Of course I would say that since I am his mom. He is getting big and will be 8 weeks old tomorrow. I am amazed at how fast time goes. This time around the whole newborn thing seems a lot easier than last time. He actually sleeps at night!

Annaleah is doing a great job at being a big sister. She gets a little overly worried about Miles sometimes but it's all good. She cries when he cries and tries to shove is pacifier in his mouth. He doesn't always like that. She said her first full understandable sentence the other day when we were in the BK parking lot. It was "Mama, I wanna eat". She loooves eating! She is also pretending to talk on the phone all the time. She says "hewwo, Nanna, wuw woo, bye". That means Hello, Anna, love you, and bye. These are the same things she says to her sister Jaelyn on the phone almost every night when they talk. It's cute when they talk on the phone because Anna has a big smile on her face and sometimes is holding the phone backwards.

Arianna is Terrell's 9year old daughter. We have not seen her more than few times in the last few years, but she reunited with us all a couple weeks ago. She is one of a kind! She is a very funny girl. It has been great watching the kids together. It's awesome how kids can click together again so quickly like no time was lost. Terrell and Miles are going to have their hands full with all of us women....Me, Jaelyn, Arianna, Talaya, and Annaleah!! Wow!!

Summer vacation started for the girls this week. Jaelyn is in summer camps most of the summer but will be here for three full weeks and of course on her weekends. We look forward to the weeks she spends here. She just finished the 4th grade!!

Talaya had her kindergarten graduation last week. It was super cute. They sang songs and had their little caps and walked on stage. I cannot believe that little Talaya is going to be in first grade!!!! She is losing all her teeth and getting her buckys :) She is growing up!!

Terrell is still holding down the job and school thing. He is crazy busy but making it work. CaJuan and him have been doing a lot of shows. They won a spot at the Sonshine Festival. They will be performing their in July. They just put out a new album too. They are working really hard! You can check out some of their stuff at http://www.one2wentyone.com/

Oh and for me....hmmmm...Well I am enjoying my last two weeks off from work. Not like I work that much anyway. I will be going back to Lifetime Fitness and working my part time gig in the child center. Other than that, I am enjoying the sunny warm weather (not these last couple days) but I know more sunshine is on the way. I will try to blog more! Talk to ya later :)
