disapearing blog...

due to lack of interest (and time) my blog has not been that interesting. for that, i appologize. what i don't apologize for is my reasons for not blogging. there are many...
1. volleyball camp started in the middle of July, and spending 8 hours at the gym for 2 weeks just doesn't put me in the best of moods when i come home. almost every night, i would eat and then just crash from being so tired.
2. just after volleyball camp was over, we had 4 days off before we started pre-season for our college girls. mostly 2-a-days with a few 3-a-days in there, but again, 8 hours at the gym...you know the drill.
3. nothing to blog about...(p.s. birthday was lame! i was at practice all day and didn't feel well enough to eat cake. i had caught a nasty bug!)
4. I have suffered a mini-tragedy of which i will not blog about. just keep me in your prayers. Just know that it is very personal, and i'm still recovering from it.
5.
6.
........I could go on and on giving reasons, i'm still alive, and busy. school has started and so has volleyball season. we leave tomorrow for Roswell, NM for a tournament. Our team is really scrappy this year and there is no reason why we shouldn't get to the National Tournament in November.
Clifton is not looking forward to this semester. He's just going to power through though hoping he can stay on his teachers good side.
Curtis is getting so big! he has a way of communicating by using the few words he knows and that is fantastic! We love that we can understand him and get him what he needs or wants at that moment. Lately he has been showing an interest in the potty. He would tell us when he was pooping, so we thought "maybe he's ready for potty training". His potty sat there for about 2 weeks until he told us he want to sit on it. and without us knowing:


he TINKLED! Here's the picture to proove it! we thought it was a fluke until he did it again the next morning! what a big boy and he's not even 2!

Hi, Janiel. You don't know me, but I know Clifton-- went to EA with him. It's so cute to see he's married, and you two have a kid (who totally looks like him!) Tell him "hi" from Bethany.

I love that you took a picture of his toilet, by the way...

Feel free to check out my blog.
