Hello my friends and family! It's been a while since I have had a chance to sit down and blog. The Ayala family has been very busy the past few weeks. It's funny how time seems to move a little quicker now days than it used to. Let's see, what can I catch you up on?
Jaden - The next generation Sooner, has now played 2 football games and scored in both of them. The last game he broke a 99 yard run. 99 yards!!! I was an absolute idiot. You would have thought he was playing in the Superbowl. He is loving this football thing and is pretty good at it. On spring break we went to Oklahoma City to work with our precious friends Deborah, Nathan and Jon Burke at Inner City. Much to my and Deb's dismay, Jon and Jaden almost quit being friends over a girl. It was tense for a few minutes but they worked through it, what a relief. First grade has almost come and gone and I can't seem to find where it went. He is reading very well and wants to be a preaching football player. The future should be interesting.
Gabby - She is holding her own on the volleyball court and JBQ (junior bible quiz) rotations. Her bible quiz team placed 4th in the district and volleyball is coming very naturally to her. The rules state that once you have served 4 points on the other team you have to rotate. She has done that several times and isn't afraid to move to the ball. She is turning into this beautiful young woman and at times I find myself gaining a friend. (being the mom will always come first though!) It's crazy to already be battling the "borrowing affect". "Mom can I borrow a shirt...Mom can I borrow some shoes....Mom can I borrow..?" It is too early for this! But I am so excited to see who she is becoming. She will crown Honor Star (because she wants to - unlike some of us who were FORCED TOO! yes, still a little bitter about that) this summer. Her grades are great and yes, "drama is her life" too!
Ed and Steph - We are trying to keep up with their social schedules and sports stuff and still find time to run a youth ministry and love each other. I will start working for a few weeks at a law firm here in Humble while the receptionist is out on maternity leave tomorrow. (eric and shelley if you read this please know the sarcastic "AND" with the dramatic pause means nothing to these people down here, but someone is always looking for their "Millions") Edgar is sooo ready for vacation at the end of the month. And to be honest I am too! We are bummed the Sooners choked today and take more crap about that stuff than anyone can imagine here in Texas.
Much past that, we are just lovin' each other, lovin' Jesus and missin' you!

Glad you found some time to update ... I am so fortunate that Olivia is SUPER petite - so far it's impossible for her to "borrow" any of my clothing or shoes. I do, however, recall wanting to "borrow" a few items of my aunt's clothing when I was about 13/14. I'm sure my day will come soon enough.

Well I have missed your blogs as well. So glad for the update. I put my request in for Jaden when he goes pro....I want a vacation home in the mountains and on the beach. You guys can visit it anytime (isn't that generous of me!!)
