A Laptop May Save This Blog

Happy Mother's Day! My complete inability to stay in the house has driven me outdoors with the laptop. Ancient as this laptop may be I am thrilled to be able to sit on the porch, enjoy listening to the children play, soak up some sun, and type a way.


I feel as if I am neglecting my little blog. Which I'm sure annoys no one but myself but I'm still annoyed that I can't spend 20 minutes at the computer. That is I can't spend 20 minuets at the computer without feeling like I need to be outside. So I go outside and accomplish the ever important task of counting how many seedlings are popping up.


I assure you it is a very important task. If I don't do it then Brent will do it and he may not give me a full report.


I can sense your jealousy.


School is wrapping up and we have been busy and I have a whole bunch of pictures to share, from soccer, to school musicals, to an orchestra concert. Oh wait, I have video of that one. I'm sure you can't wait to listen to 350 first year orchestra students perform.


Again with the jealousy.


I continue to peddle away at my bike I can't really say for sure how many miles I will accomplish on June 6th. I know that I will finish 60, I'm almost positive that I will finish 80, and I have a sneaky feeling if all the stars align properly I may finish 104. Which truthfully this whole journey to this bike ride has taught me so much about myself that I will be happy with whatever I end up doing.


It is fun to discover you love something that you were sure you hated. :)


This week is going to be a very busy week. I know, I know, that is what I always say. I need new material. This week is a 70 mile bike ride. Should be lots and lots of fun. S. is going to be swimming her first long course meet of the season. She is swimming a 100 free and tells me she is going to break a minute. Send your prayers and positive thoughts to Logan Friday night.


The boys are headed to the father son camp out this weekend and AYSO soccer will end on Saturday. So full of tears. S. has a few more games left and then she will be hanging up her soccer cleats. More on that later. I've rambled long enough and I'm sure you have more important things to do today.


Hopefully, everyone is having an awesome Mother's Day. I have to admit as far as Mother's Day is concerned this has been one of the best. :)

I missed you and your posting! However, I do understand the love for flowers. Feel free to enjoy the sun... we are nearly hot enough to start cursing the heat.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
