Well, summer has officially begun. Everyone has successfully completed another year of school. I now have a high school junior and freshman as well as a 7th grader and a 3rd grader. I guess there are some exciting things to come in the Riordan house.
Alexis auditioned and made it into Spotlight Drama at Mesa High. It is the highest drama class to be in and they only take 16 kids. Always knew she was a drama queen. And about a week and a half ago she turned the big 16. That's right ladies and gents, stay off the streets for Alexis is learning to drive. She has also excited at the idea that she is now old enough to date. That is if dad will actually let her.
Beth is now a freshman cheerleader. This is the girl who said that she would never wear a dress and make up. She was the anti girl without being a tomboy. Now she won't leave the house without her hair and make up done. She is our little fashionista. I can't believe I gave birth to a cheerleader. How did that happen?
What is there to say about the boys. They are just that BOYS! They are both really enjoyed learning how to wrestle and follow in the family footsteps of high school wrestling. Christian even took 3rd in his first tournament and he can't wait until he gets into school so he can actually be on the wrestling team.
Now they kids spend their time in the large pool we have. It is really nice to have a cheap form of entertainment just outside the back door. I am really loving the fact that it has made our home a center for the kids to bring their friends to come over.
And then their is Garrison. Just as crazy and outspoken as ever. He is a character! My favorite thing he has ever said to us was that no one would ever kidnap him because he has anger issues. He swims like a fish and enjoys sitting on the bottom of the deep end of the pool. I can't even make it to the deep end of the pool. In a few short weeks he will be 8 years old and be baptized. He is super excited for that day (and the fact he will finally be in scouts).
