Yeah. I finally learned.
















Hello all. I finally learned how to work this blog thing, and I'm so excited. I have created 2 other blogs now that I know how easy it is to post. They are gingeroviattfamily.blogspot.com and awesomesavings.blogspot.com which is my coupon blog. Yes its the same thing Savannah is doing, so it will be fun for both of us to teach you all anything you need to know. If anyone knows the more detailed elements of blogging, I'd love to learn more. HOLLY. HELP ME PLEASE. I need to learn so much still. I'm glad she's moving back to Vegas, or Henderson.
Okay. Now to the family stuff. Christian is working at the City Center project by the MGM in the middle of the strip. Its expected to open in December 2009 or they will lose a 9 billion dollar grant they accepted. Ginger is still working at Landry's Seafood House, hating it, and hoping by February, I will be a full paid instructor with Grocery Smarts, and can quit my job. I'm mostly at home though since I only end up working about 3 days a week. Taking care of the family and home. Bradley is in the 6th grade, and he thinks he's all big. He is big though. as tall as me, and bone skinny like my brothers. By next summer, he will be taller than me so he will feel big. He recieved a Rip Stick for Christmas which is what he asked Santa for. Yes they all still believe. He just today came in crying though, cuz he fell and skinned his elbow. There will be more of those before he masters the stick. Xarrissa is Miss Smarty Pants which is what she was for Halloween. She's in Student Council, Choir, and Draws for the school newspaper. She told me the other day she wants to be an Author, and wanted me to help her come up with a title for a book. We explained the process of having an idea first then writing the story, then coming up with the name, so hopefully she gets it and succedes. Risa is in the 5th grade and loves school. On their Christmas break, which they dont have to return to school till the 26th of January (track break) Risa has a goal to read about 3000 pages to beat her teachers goal of 1000 pages. Her teacher offered to the student who reads the most pages that they will recieve a fabulous prize when they return to school. I'll keep you informed as to wether she wins and what it was. Echo is in the 4th grade and is ambivalent toward school like Brad. She's getting b's and c's which arent horrible, but she has to work hard for them just like I did in school. With risa as the student who never has homework and always gets A's, they remind me of myself and Kimi (who was the smarty pants) in school. Echo and Risa got a bike from Santa and love it, since their previous bikes were 3 years old and falling apart. They are so close in age, they also share clothes, which sometimes they love and sometimes they hate. Benjamin is the clown of the family. He is always so happy and smiley. He has the best personality of them all. For Christmas he got a Nurf tommy gun, and a Cars laptop with games for learning.

We wish you all the best and hope you are enjoying your families like I'm enjoying mine. Loves to you all. Ginger
