Clear the roads ....





it's one thing to pass a written test to get your permit ...
it's another thing to get in the car and drive
 
This week was Nicole's first driving lesson with the driving school.
With a small sign on the back of car
and the instructor having his own brakes ..
Off they went for 2 hours of instruction ...

With that first lesson behind her .. she is now allowed to drive with Mark and I ...
Oh help me ....
 
 
Youth group, CVS, the market, home from school ...
anywhere  ...   anytime .... she wants to drive
(though she still doesn't know if she likes it )

Basketball continues !!!!

Ryan is loving playing B=ball for Granada
 

Watch out on the road .......

 
My little girl is growing up
It is hard to believe that Nic is now 15 1/2 ...
has completed her drivers ed course
and has now officially passed learners permit test at the DMV !!!
Watch out people, here she comes!!!!
 
Hands are wringing wet, nerves are at their height of crazy
the test is bad enough, but the waiting while they grade your test and tell you
if you passed or not ..
TERRIBLE !!!!
 
 
But today .. on her 2nd try ....
She passed !!!!!
at 15 1/2 years old, you can not miss more than 8 ...
(and if you fail 3 times, you have to wait 6 months to try again)
1st try she missed 9 (one Nic changed from corret to wrong)
2nd try ... she missed 2
 
Ya HOO !!!!



Go Kings !!!!!!

 
 
GO KINGS !!!!!
