School finally Starts

Today was the first day of school. Me of course am so excited to have a little quite time again (not really quiet since I work full time, yuck!).
Angela is a sophmore this year and is really excited to do well in school. She will be driving her car by March if her grades are good enough.
Emme is in a new school this year. A little tiny sixth grader this year. I walked her to class and the older kids are huge! Then we got to the sixth grade hall and the sixth graders looked so small.
MJ is in the fifth grade this year and is on his own this year. He said he is really going to miss being with Emme. I'm glad they get along so well.
The last few days we have spent getting shoes, haircuts and supplies. Clothes will be coming soon. Its still been nice weather the kids can wear their shorts still.

A trip to the fair

Friday night we went to the fair. It was a perfect fair night. Clear ski, Slight breeze and about 70 degrees. The Kids had alot of fun and Mark went on a few rides with them, one that free falled. MJ was soo excited to go on that one but when he got to the bottom his face was so pale. He was happy he did it! It was fun to just hang out together as a family. No worries to think about except have a fun time. MJ got a little sick and so he hung out with Mom and Dad and walked around the booths. He found a rock club that he wants to join and I would like to enter a quilt or some jam for the fair. MJ wants to enter a model. Emme and Angie just want to go on lots and lots of rides. Can't wait till next year's fair. Maybe we'll hit the Washington State fair too.

Not so Great 2008..

I thought this year started out great, it was the year 2008. But lo and behold I dont think it was on the books to be that great. This last few months have just been a drag! I wont go into all the wonderful events we have been through because I am sure you have heard enough of our whining, crying and moaning. All I can say is that if we ever do get to move we are going to have one heck of a New Years Eve Party to celebrate the fact that 2008 is past and we made it thought another tough year. So sorry I have not been updating but we've been extreamly busy, an extreamly would be an understatement. Not enough hours in a day to get what I need done done!

blah, Blah BLAH!!!!

Of course the house is still going. We have been patient so far and hoped to move in this next weekend. Of course that is not happening because we cant seem to get finished. So of course we keep hearing one excuse after another and then have to take charge and do it ourselves. We still have alot of work to do and just need to be done with the house. Very frustrating!! I am hoping there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Its Monday Again!!

I am starting to dread these Mondays. Working up at the house Friday, Saturday and Sunday till midnight can be so tough when you have to go to work during the week. It is rewarding however to see the house come together duing this final stage. This last weekend we (or should I say Mark) layed the tile in the both kids bathrooms and the utility room. It looks great. I am so thankful for my talented husband. I think he can do anything. I am so proud of him. He has been working with Emme and MJ this last weekend and he has a pretty good system. The kids love to work with their dad. Emme's smile is from ear to ear as she talks about working with her dad. I love the relationship that he has with them (and the patience too). I know Pictures are coming, soon.

Mr PB's or should I say Mr. Snuggles


This is our fat cat PB, Short for Porky Ballerina. I call him Mr. Snuggles. For the last 2 months PB has been acting a little on the strange side. You see, PB has never really been much of a snuggler and if he is snuggly its because there is no food in his cat dish. For the last 2 months he has been extreamly snuggly. At night he has to sleep in by bed and feels he must take up the whold bed. At 2:00 in the afternoon I can always count on PB jumping on my work desk and making himself comfortable. I don't really mind but sometimes its hard to work when he's laying on my table. I just think he is lonely and misses his best bud Stephanie like we all do.
