2011 is going to be even better.

Wow 2010 was a great year. But 2011 is going to be even better. Well now to get you all caught up in our lives.
For 2011 I am going to school. Yes school is what I said. It is at The New York Institute of Photography. I have been wanting to do this for awhile just never had enough time. But I had prayed a long time for God to give me time. Well He did. It was him making me looking at things differently. And now I do. Other things that I have start to do is taking time for just me spending time with God first and then taking care of my body. One way I took time for myself this year was taking a trip by myself. I went to AZ for my older sister wedding. In that time I had time with family and friends. It was a great time. Even though I missed Brian and the kids but it was much needed.

Well now on to everyone else. Brian is back to work now. He took some of the holidays off and time off to watch the kids while I was on vaction. He knew my job as a mother was not easy he has never said that. But he has a new respect for mother that have toddlers at home, and tryign to get the other to school and all the other daily duties that a mother and wife have. He did such a great jopb with them that I think I sould go off by myself more often. Yeah right!! A least not for a while.


Rhianna is doing well. We have started to push her a little harder on her school work. We wanted to do this to show here that she can handle anythign taht is brought to her. Her grades have improved by doign this. Still praying that she is hiding God word in her heart.

Justin is still loving school. When I got home last week we sat down and I asked him to go get a book. I tested him on his reading. Well he is off to a great start. I think it caught him off gaurd that he was reading a book a real book.

Now Makiah. When I got hoem she would not let me out of her sight. Now its still the same. but not as bad. She just won't let me get much doen around that house and with school work but we are working on that one day at a time.

IT'S FALL!!!!

Well, Yes I know you have been waiting to see what has been going on in The Greene house hold. Alot has been going on. Since Brian has had Tech Sargent pinned on he has been working crazy hours. But now is back to normal. I on the other hand if it is not one event it is another. I just got done helping with a retreat for our ladies at church. It was great we went to Croatia. It was so prety there. I so did not want to come home.

We have been busy since school started. We have Awana going all the time. I love the drive that Awana gives my kids. Rhianna is in the 3rd grade and is havign a hard time with it but getting it done. One thing that she is really in to is reading her bible I can't get her to read anything else. I know that is a good thing but at the same time I would also like her to read other things. But I thank God that she wants to read her Bible.

Justin start school this year he loves going. He is growing up more and more the week before he started school he learned how to tie his shoes. He is also working on doing his devotions eeryday. If I don't have time to help him do it he gets really sad. So just pray that I make the time for that.

Now on to Makiah she is so full of fun. She is fully potty trained. Yea my last baby is not a baby any more. Still at the same time that is sad but Joyful. She is at that point that when she loves something and wants it so much she says "But Mommy I wove it". Oh she make me laugh.
So as for me I'm working on Photography and also getting in shape like before I had kids. Yeah I know we all say that. But I have been working on it and I feel better then I have in years. Its a slow work in progress. But I getting there.
Well now that you are caught up I'm not going to promise anything this time. But I hope to get better at this. HAHAAA!!! I what a great laugh right. Well Off to help my family. Love to all.

WOW, where did the summer go?

WOW, Yes I know I have been bad about not sharing with everyone. Well The last I left off it was still spring. It was a really cold spring. But other then that is was just a slow one. But now the summer that has been packed with a trip to Arizona and just staying busy. Well the summer began with the flight home. The kdis did great again. I could not Thank God enough for the great blessings he has given Brian and I. The first morning we where in AZ we got the best news. Brian past his test for his next rank. So We just want to thank everyone that has prayed us thur the last few test to this one. On our vacation we had the best time visiting family and friends and just plain resting.







Well I have not be the best blogger. But I hope that I do get better at this. Here is one last pic. of the kids pinning on Tech stripes on Brian.

A Year in Italy.

Well yes it has been a year. Since we landed in Italy. It was a painful and Joyful move at the same time. The painful part was cause we where moving after five years from great family time and great friends. The Joyful part was we where all moving together. Not just Brian leaving but all of us.
On this move we made it out to be a big adventure for the kids. At first they loved me calling that. Now its just life. They still keep saying when we go home to AZ are we going to be living in the same house. So that awanser is we will see where God sends us. But for now God has us here in Italy.


Well I know that there is so much more to tell you then what you already know. So I'm going to tell you what we are doing in the moment. Brian is getting ready to head to the states for some traning. We have so much that is going on like Awana, kids baseball and just every day life. Life just flys by. Here are a few pic's of Easter and baseball. Well I hate to sign off but my day is filled to the rim.

WOW!

WOW! The last 2 months have gone by so fast my head is still back in Carnivale. Yes We went to Venice, and it was Carnivale. San Macro square people dressed up. It was great. Brian and I went down there after church on V-day and stayed the night. Here are a few pic's of some of the great costumes.



But that was just part of Feb. The Friday before Brian tested for Tech Sargent. We will not know if he made it till summer. Then the same day I helped with our youth groups yearly Ski & Share. It was a great time. I hung out with the kids that did not Ski but we did Ice skate. It was a busy month but Just mainly just he same old same.But Looking back at it we had a great time seeing new things. Well I know this is short but. I plan on keeping this up a little better now that life is not running at 100 MPH. Well May this find you in good spirts today. God Bless.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year. Well We have a lot going to happen in 2010. I have made some new challenges to myself and God. So lets see if I can complete them. One is to keep the blog up more so you all can find out what we are up to. So to start off. Here is goes.
Well most of almost every year I say I will get in better shape well. This year is different cause I have been just slowly getting to a healthier me not just health wise but soul and mind. God has shown me in the last 5 years that I can do things with out Brian. Even though we are one. I'm still me. So I'm starting a few new things but starting on things I have loved doing since I was in high school. So I will post on that one later.
Well To let you know what Brian is doing. He is studying studying and more studying. He is studying to make Tech Sargent. But don't know the test date yet. So just keep up the prayers.
As for me I will let you know what happens when it happens. LOL. I know that makes some of you crazy cause your brain is thinking many things. But I read something not to long ago that if we talk about what we want to do so much that it almost never gets done. So just to let you know I'm not saying a word.
As most of you know I was suppose to come home this week. But God had other plans. But you never know when we just might pop up in AZ.
The kids are doing great. Not much to say about them at this time. But they are healthy and growing. I think the one thing that really puts a smile on my face is that my kids are also growing each day in Christ. Justin is learning how to pray more. Rhianna is memorizing verses like crazy. I wish I had that drive. Makiah is just to smart for her own good hopefully we will be potty training soon. That will make me really happy.
Well i must get busy on soem of the thigns I have going on. Love to all.

Happy Thanksgiving.

This month is the start to the holiday season. I was thinking about what to write. First off I'm so thankful to God for giving me such a great family. He has truly blessed me with a wonderful husband that is willing to follow him when he put him self aside. My kids bless me each day when they wake up with their great love. I love hugs in the morning. So now to tell you what has been going on in in Italy. Well it turned cold a few weeks ago. It has the same temps as Northern AZ. But not this year. AZ has been very warm from what I hear. But we have snow on the Dolomite's. They are a site to see when they are covered. We are still trying to get use to not seeing the sun everyday. It makes me a little sad. But then I think to my self. Why? I'm here to see things that others don't and so I get giddy. I know funny right.
Ok so know about the family. We are doing great. God is show us things that we are to be doing in his church. We are having so much fun with AWANA. Brian is now the Commander of the club and I'm his Sec. So he gets to have all the fun and I get to do the paper work. But that is not all I love it that I get to hear the kids say verses and pass a section. I love to see their little faces light up.
Brian is studying for his Tech Sargent test. We did find out that he only has to take the Air Force test and not his job test cause of job moving. He is getting along really well with Phy Therphy. He is now going in 2 times a week. Soon he will be able to get back up to running. But I know he is very weary about it.
The kids. So we have a had the sickness in our house this month. Brian had it first then Rhianna and Justin. Makiah and I have been ok so far. Since soccer is now over the kids seem not to run as much. But I really can't say that either. Rhianna has Girl scouts and Awana and kids choir for church. Wow I know alot right. Justin just has Awana and kids choir. At least most of their activities are the same night. Makiah is just Makiah. She is my fire ball. We are introducing the potty to her. She at least sets on it. May not go yet but soon. I know that this post is a little short but Not much going on lately. But it seems really busy for us. Well I pray that you have Great Blessings this Thanksgiving season.
