What happened to 2014?

Really! What did happen to 2014? Apparently I was too busy to write anything on my blog. Kudos to all of you avid and consistent bloggers out there! I look up to you. However, I realized that I enjoyed reminiscing over my kids being so little, so here I am again, ready to write some more. Problem is, they are all so grown up!

Now that it is officially 2015, I thought the most recent happenings with the Hollis crazies would to be the best place to start.

Kyle, the freshman

(Soon to turn 15)

Where to start with such an amazing young man? He never ceases to amaze me. Car fanatic, electronic enthusiast, great big brother, Priesthood holder, great example, sweet fast runner and my favorite first child!!!

I am thankful everyday for his willingness to help others around him. He will be a great leader some day!

 

Christopher, the 6th grader

(Soon to turn 12)

Easily enough, I can describe Christopher in one word, CRAZY. I can honestly say it is in his genes. He is the most driven and hardworking kid, STILL. Xbox finatic, iPod junkie, football player, runner, Straight A student, sweet big/little brother and my favorite second child!!

I cannot wait to see him receive the Priesthood. I think he will take the responsibility serious, for sure.

Jenna, the 5 year old princess

Oh the joys of having a little girl, because honestly, she is still littlMomOf course she is still sassy (and fluent in whinese), but she is cute nonetheless.  Bugger of the brothers (great job to have), pewter playing fool (aka the computer, sometimes it is hard to fix the mistakes because one day they won't be there anymore), sugar muffin, great giver of hugs and kisses, always says I love you, loves bedtime stories and my favorite little and only girl!!!!

P.S. She's her Pop's favorite. He's been caught giving her her favorite drink, vanilla milk when Mom already said no. Oh well! Such is life, right!? Daddy's Girl fits well here.

Ethan, the 2 year old monster

Yes, I say monster because he can be a different monster every second of every day!

Crazy monster, lovey monster, screaming monster, giggly monster, kissy monster, car and truck monster and my favorite little monster, EVER. He has a little bit of everyone wrapped up in that little monster body of his. His most common phrase these days is a plain, Okay. He says it to everything. We agree to disagree sometimes, but we are learning. 

He is a much needed addition to the Hollis crazies. What a well rounded joyful bunch of crazies we have.
