New Pics

Hey! Check out the new pics of the kids. They turned out great!!!!!!! These are the ones that I was worried about since it was snowing and the school made it an outside day. I am very happy with how they turned out.

It's Done

I finally have my final paper and final exam finished!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!! You would think that I would be thrilled. I am but still a little frustrated. I am in self pity mode unfortunately. Dumb isn't it. I have decided that it is based on five things:

*My teenage son is growing up too fast - how do I stop him?

*The constantly changing weather -will it ever be warm?

*Back pain - I am working on this one, going to a Chiropractor

*Too hectic of a schedule

*Not having Alan around enough!

I know I complain too much! So, I have found something good about each one:

*My son is so trusting and responsible - he talks to us about everything and that thrills me!

*The weather keeps us on our toes - is that positive?

*I am able to do anything despite my back pain.

*Seeing to joy in my kids faces in the events that they take part in!

*That Alan is such a loving person and willing to do anything for his family!

I have to say I have a pretty good life. I live in a great neighborhood with people who are amazing, and my kids have great friends that I can enjoy and feel secure having around.

New pictures coming!

I know there haven't been many new pictures in the last couple of weeks. I will put more as soon as my research paper and final are done. Oh yeah and my pesky extended taxes! I have done funner things!

Interesting Week!

We have had a fun week off track. Three baseball games. We went to see Nim's Island with my sister Lisa and her daughter Madi, it was a great movie. The three younger ones are taking swim lessons at the SJ pool. They had two lessons and then today got in the pool and two minutes later they pulled everyone out since someone had an accident in the pool! That was interesting. Instead of a lesson in the pool, they got one on the sidelines about pool safety. We topped off the week by going to the Elk Ridge Middle School play "Guys and Dolls". It was amazing, these kids are in middle school and they sailed through it. Great job Kip and Curtis, Zac's friends in the play! I am very impressed.

Hey Jen! I found the song. Cleaning this Gun by Rodney Atkins. Click on it on the music list. I told Jen that this is my theme song for when my girls start dating. . . . a long time from now! Heehee!

GREAT WEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited because of the weather this weekend!! We went walking at the lake on Saturday and Sunday! I told Alan that I am usually content to relax, but this weekend I got bored so easily. I really hope this lasts! Snow last week and 70 degrees today, what a change!

Baseball!

Baseball season has begun! My life is baseball, baseball and did I mention more baseball? Garrett had his first game today. He got a hit off without the tee! We are proud. Zac is raring to go. His games don't start until next week. It is nice to have a week were the games don't compete with each other. So, if you can't get a hold of me, I am at baseball! Go Angels! Go Red Sox!

I had to post this picture for Holly. She has the cutest picture of Max and I told her that Garrett was a little chub. How they grow up!
