Thank You and Something Else that Needs Work

First of all I just have to say thank you for all your kind comments.  It is nice to know that we all have days like those. I have spent the last few days trying to figure out how to stop any more days like the ones we have been having.  But then I remembered something my mom has always said, "You can't stop a storm you can only weather it." 

DANG IT!! I tell you one of these days Mother Nature and I are going to have ourselves one LONG talk. 

Speaking of mom sayings, here is my favorite grandma saying (my mom's mom) speaking to her recently turned 16 year old oldest granddaughter. "You know Krissi you don't have to type on a lot of type writers to learn to type." I will let you ponder that one as you go through your day. 

Last night we were lucky enough to attend Al's very first concert choir performance.  It was a very fun night.  Well as much fun as a soccer/swim mom can have when she can't jump up and down and cheer.  Can you imagine, "Sing that song Al, you can do it! Sing Al Sing!!" For future reference do you think that cheering like that would get me kicked out of the auditorium?  Just wondering, if there are any choir mom's out there let me know. 

It was a lot of fun and it is very fun to watch Al. I wanted to share with you how fun it was to watch her and what fun she was having.  However, it turns out dark auditoriums are not camera friendly. GO FIGURE! 


So here are a few of the best ones I was able to get. Again I have to say, if Brent would just get me a bigger camera with a bigger lenses you might all be saved from these BAD PICTURES. I suggest you start a mail in campaign to him.

This was the  concluding song when all the high school, Jr high and elementary school sang together. They did a pretty good job.

This is one of my mia-maids, I missed YW's last night in order to attend the performance it turned out all my girls and most of our laurels were at the performance so I was able to support them and be there for AL.  Can I tell you how thrilled Tiff will be with this pic.

I  have no idea what Al is doing but doesn't she look cute in her choir get up.


Probably the best pic I got last night.  Al loved the performance and says she can't wait until she can be in the high school choir. My mom resume is growing Soccer/Swim/Basketball/Choir? Mom.
Sorry for subjecting you to bad pictures but but but. Ok can't think of an excuse just start that mail in campaign and maybe this horrible picture stuff will stop. :) I better get going to work.  Thank you again for all your nice comments.  Have a great day!

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
