Crazy Gonder Family
























































I know it has been forever since I have posted. So here is an update! McKayla is now 15 and has her learners"driving" she works at the KOA in the office and loves it her boss is FABULOUS!!! We all love her. Mcky, is a Sophmore this year and is starting Varsity on the Volleyball team. She is now an inch taller than her mother and loves to rub it in.

Mat is 13 and in the 8th grade, he is also working at the KOA. He works outside and really enjoys it since there is no keeping this boy indoors. He is also working for an older couple and does anything and everything they need done our can not do themselves anymore. He has learned alot of wonderful life skills that will help him in the future. He also does odd lawn mowing job here and there, he hopes to get his yard business going ASAP. Mat is running cross country track he is a runner and is built like one too. His first meet he placed 4th the next meet he placed 3rd and took a whole minute off of his time. Mat is now at least an inch taller than Mcky and boy that does not go over well with her.

Jonah is 11 and in the 6th grade, he is loving being the TOP DAWG of the elementary and is excited to get to play Jr high basketball this year. He earned his Arrow of Light this last winter and worked hard to get it. JB (Jonah Bear) is getting so tall he has to squat down co mom can fix his hair. CRAZY!!!! JB is getting to be alot of help with Gavin and Sienna and boy do I appreciate it.

Gavin is 5 and in Kindergarten, to say that he loves school would be an understatement, I only wish it was all day and I am pretty sure he wishes that too. Gavin is settling down a bit he is definitly easier to reason with we still have our days. That temper is WOW is all I can say I hope I can teach him to control it! I asked him to get a diaper and wipes for me to change Sienna and he said " I am not your SLAVE" oh goodness.
Sienna is 2 and what a ANGEL thank goodness!!! She has her moments of mischief and complaint, but she is alot easier to contend with than some of the others have been ( like all my BOYS). She was definitely a good one to end with. Sienna had to have her Tonsils & Adnoids removed and tubes put in her ears. The doctor said that her tonsils were impressive he called them "FREAKISHLY LARGE" he said that he has seen alot of tonsils in his career as an ENT and hers were impressive. She is and has made HUGE leaps and bounds in her speech since the surgery and boy are we glad. It is hard to understand what she was saying with so much blocking the sounds trying to come out.

Guy is VERY close to finishing his Masters Degree and should be done by October. He has been so busy with this that I cannot even express the huge relief it is going to be for all of us especially him as he said it never off his mind. He is such a great husband and father I couldn't ask for more we are so BLESSED. We turned our garage into a family room and oh my it is alot more peaceful around here now that we have more living area. With the boys room and the family room additions we have doubled our living space and it has saved my sanity.

Me, well I am doing ok. I am no longer at th PO I decided that it wasn't for me and am Babysitting Addie she is 7 months now and I have watched her since she was a couple of months old and she is a dolly. She is just one of my own. Sienna loves her and Addie is her baby the babies mom even knows that. I get to work as needed which with Addie is not much, but that is ok at the Medical Clinic as a receptionist & medical assistant. I have really enjoyed it. Hopefelly someday when the kids are all in school that I will be able work more full time there.

Well we hope all is well and I will try not to let our updates go so long.
