Race for the Cure.............and the Zoo

Today was Race for the Cure. My good friend Amie walked w/ me today and it was great. She kept me at a faster pace then I would have walked. We did the 5K in 50 min. And I only had 3 hrs. of sleep, so I thought I did ok. It is an awesome experience and I am so blessed to be a small part of it. She also thinks that we should sign up for another "walk" which I think would be a good idea too. After the walk I headed home and relieved my brother and his g/f of babysitting duty (thanks Coby and Amy). Then we headed right back out the door for D's football game, his team won today. And after the game we headed to the Zoo for a couple hours. We had a good time, even though we only lasted a couple hrs. b/c we were all worn out. I will try to post the pic.'s from the zoo in a day or so.

Thanks Jessi.........

just life...........

Just thought I would give a couple updates. D is doing great in school. He also started football (flag) a couple wks. ago and is enjoying that. His first game was last Sat. and he scored 2 touchdowns. His gymnastics season will be starting next month so he is getting excited about that. He loves when it is gymnastics season. "A" is doing great is school too. I now drop her off in front of the school and she walks in all by herself, which is amazing for her. L is enjoying a little quite time during the day while A and D are at school. I mowed the front yard Monday, that is the first time I have ever mowed in my life. Nothing to it and I think the yard looks fine. That's about it for now. Life is busy, just trying to make sure it doesn't get "crazy busy"

They say it's your birthday............

Well it's my birthday too yea!!!! I celebrated my birthday over the wk.end and even today. I had a great b-day. I met a few college friends in Tulsa on Friday night. One of my friends has the same b-day as me (I am younger, hehee) We had dinner at Zio's and then got a Hotel for the night, relaxed in the pool and hot tub and talked until about 2a. Got up Sat. morning and went for breakfast before heading back home. It was so great seeing my friends and catching up on life. My mother-in-law was here for the wk.end (she watched my kids while I was gone) Thanks Edith!!! I always have a great time w/ her when she is here. My b-day was yesterday and the kids got me a cake and a card w/ $ in it for a Wii Fit, so that is super exciting, all I gotta do is find one now. My younger brother gave me a Mac book, which is awesome. I got a several calls from friends and family members. And I got the best cards this year. And then today Michelle brought me lunch for my b-day and it was soooo good. It was a great b-day!!! Thanks everyone for making my day so special!!!

LIFE Group

Two Sundays ago our LIFE Group met and enjoyed a service project I named "Cookies and Cards" The kids made cookies and cards for their teachers for the start of school. The kids had a great time making the cookies and cards and I love putting service into action. I think the kids learn so much more by doing instead of just being told what they should do. Our LIFE Group is trying to do more service projects this year. Not all service projects have to be a big event or a big deal, small service projects are important too. I had a great time last Sunday and I am looking forward to our next LIFE Group Service Project!!

just trying to figure it out

ok - I am just in shock that I could change my background - or whatever it is called. Not saying I am going to leave it how it is, esp. since I know what I am doing now - hehehehe -

1st day of school and haircuts

OK Just a short blog since it has been a couple wks. since the last one. "A" went w/ one of her best friends to get their haircut before school started. We had about 3 inches cut off of A's and it has helped so much, it is much easier to comb through now. The girls had a good time being at the salon together.

And now for the first day of school. Both D and A started school this past wk. T went into work late on the first day so he could take D. D didn't even care if T took him in or not, he's got this school thing down!!! I took A b/c she goes in the afternoons, she did great (trust me I am still in shock heheheheee). The next day A didn't know she had to go back so she was not crazy about going to school again but she did great just fine. So we shall see how Monday goes.
