I have a blog!! NOW WHAT??

So I have been following my sister's blog for the past few months. She is witty and funny! (WHO KNEW!) She makes me laugh out loud and sometimes think "Did she just tell the world that!?!" She has inspired me to actually write in the blog that I registered 9 months ago.

I guess I will start the same as everyone else.
The Arroyo's life in a NUTSHELL!

Anna Reese is in KINDERGARTEN! She is 5 and likes to color, play with her little pet shops and barbies,and loves being a GIRL!


Tanner is 11 and in the 5th grade. He just moved up to BOY SCOUTS, likes to swim, and takes great pleasure in thinking that he is the smartest kid in the house! He loves star wars LEGOS and despises hunting, football, and country music.




Addison is 14 and in the 8th grade. She oozes talent. She plays the PIANO, is in the show CHOIR, swims for the high school team and hub fins (she is ranked in the TOP 20 in the state in 5 events!), she loves to draw and straighten her hair! She can't wait to start DRIVING in 9 months and 26 days!! Did I mention she is a die hard TWILIGHTER!!


Jonathan is 18 and a FRESHMAN at JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE! Yes you read that right a FRESHMAN and COLLEGE!!! He is majoring in Pre Physical Therapy, his own apartment, his own BILLS, a job at SONIC and a DOG! (NO serious girlfriend right now Thank goodness!) He is learning the ropes of the adult world.

Ross is busy all the time. He never stops. He has been running his own business for 13 years now and has learned alot of hard life lessons from that. Business is tough right now but he is managing to pull through. He is still the ultimate kid - he enjoys remote control helicopters, techno gadgets, making movies, and sleep in what spare time he has!


I have had a major life change this year. I sent my last child to school and now find myself with time to do what I want to do. So after a few months of breathing and thinking what do I want to do now that I am all grown up, I have enrolled this week in a 14 week online photography class (with real grades and critiques- I AM TERRIFIED!) We shall see how it goes! First lesson I have learned: I haven't ever taken a picture of a landscape! Only kids, family, friends, and events! WHY? because TIME FLIES when your raising kids! and LIFE moves quickly and if you stop to take a picture of the landscape you just might miss something cute your kid did!
