Updates in the Serna/Beyer family

We have had a lot of new changes in our family! The first bit of good news is that I recently passed my first GACE (Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators). I took the middle grades science test and passed! I am now qualified to teach science in grades 6-8 in Georgia, once I have a college degree. Our system here is that you need to have a degree in any subject and then pass the GACE in whatever subject you would like to teach. I plan on taking the history one sometime in the summer. Second, Roy got an awesome job at the company I-Technical Services. His position is incoming quality inspector, in which he reviews different technological components before they are sent out to be assembled. He checks to make sure they work properly and writes reports on what needs to be fixed. Lastly, Roy and I have added an addition to our little family with our first dog together. Her name is Blue and she is a 10 week old Aussie/Flat coat mix, and she is a handful! If there is trouble to be had she will find it! She loves to eat everything and is still working on being trained. She starts puppy kindergarten on March 16th and it is a 6 week course. Roy and I are still getting used to the big responsiblity of raising her, but while it is difficult it is very rewarding. We love her very much and we are sure she will get along very well with the puppy that will be arriving in June because she is very sweet. She is 13 pounds now but she's estimated to grow to 60! Enjoy the pictures!

Happy 1/2 Birthday to ME!!!

That's correct...today I am 18 months old! Look out Evelyn- before you know it, I'll be doing circles around you. :)

I'm a very active ball of energy who likes to climb, climb, climb! Mom worries because I'm such a monkey, but I tell her not to since I've already mastered falling gracefully.

As you can see, I have many teeth and am currently drooling like crazy, so more are on their way. I'm an outstanding eater, so I'm not exactly sure why I need more teeth??? To fill in my smile, maybe???

I'm able to sign 5ish words. Could sign more if I were able to sit still to watch the videos. I can say way more words. The trouble is most people can't understand me. Guess I have to keep practicing. I'm really into repeating words. A few of my favorite sayings are "tickle, tickle, tickle", ..."ashes, ashes, we all fall down', "e-i-e-i-o",and "go, go,go".

I love to play with anything that has wheels, and like anything "little people". I also enjoy reading too. Most fun of all is playing absolutely anything with big sis, Evelyn. She and I are the greatest of friends.

I continue to prove I'm an amazing being who has such a sweet spirit and a great love for all around me. Oh, yeah- I'm also super handsome and have an infectious smile.

Hi to All,

Thank you for all the really nice Christmas gifts. Hunter loves them all.

Hunter is growing like a weed and loves to play outside. Hunter also likes tractors and construction trucks. He still looks just like his Dad.

I am doing good. I am working night shift at St. John's Hospital in the N.I.C.U. I was offered a day position, but turned it down. I like working nights.

Jeremiah is doing good as well. He is looking for a new job. We started taking down our screen porch. We are going to build an all season porch.

We hope you all had a nice Christmas and New Year.

Love,

Angela, Jeremiah, and Hunter

Christmas this year was great! Here are some of the photos I took. Can't wait for next year!

fall semester

Fall semester is coming to an end, I only have 2 weeks left of class, it's hard to believe! Time really does fly. It's been a great semester. I have really enjoyed all my classes, especially my geography and educational issues classes. I have also gotten along well in my new job at PetSmart, which I started in August. At PetSmart I have learned a lot about different types of foods and brands and I've met a lot of crazy people. We had one customer that had 79 cats! Crazy! Roy has been improving his running a lot and he hopes to get a running scholarship in the future. A week ago we went to an Atlanta Track Club race at stone mountain and it was very cold, but Roy did well, he got second place in his age group. Today GSU had Bill Nye come speak in the student center. It was packed and his speech was very long. I was disappointed in the end because I really wanted to get a picture with him or an autograph. which the fliers advertised would happen, but too many people turned up. We were so packed that some people had to be kicked out because of the room capacity. Anyway, I hope to see you all for the holidays, but I'm still waiting to see my schedule. I posted a picture of me about to go to work, the race, Bill Nye and the tree in our front yard because the leaves fell in a perfect circle.

My Golden Birthday!

Hello there,

Today is my 3rd birthday, which just so happens to be my golden birthday. What a BIG girl I am!

I wear big girl underwear and have been for the past 5 months now. I'm tall enough that I don't need blocks to reach the pedals on my tricycle. I started preschool last week and think it's the greatest! My teacher, Mrs Boyce, is very impressed with my skills because I have already learned my letters, numbers and colors. I go 2 days a week, 8am -1pm and even eat hot lunch in the cafeteria with the big kids. The crown I'm wearing I got to wear at school all day on Thursday. In honor of my birthday, I was the helper for the day. I also brought cupcakes for all my friends. Yummy!

I'm enjoying all my toys, books, bikes and swing set. I really, really like talking on the phone and watching Bubble Guppies...
