HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA CARYL....HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!

Spring Cleaning

2010-04-27T16:58:00.003-05:00

Well I got a jump start on spring cleaning...cleaned the oven, microwave, all 4 fans, and carpets this past weekend...now to wait for a sunny weekend to do the windows.

Lets see

2010-04-13T19:23:00.001-05:00

It's spring-do I have to say more than ALLERGIES? All Logan wants to do is be OUTSIDE. The kid is wearing me out!!

Scrapbooking

2010-03-24T20:02:00.002-05:00

Spent today scrapbooking with Karissa. I got Logan's all caught up--yeah!! Next is Emily's -I haven't done anything with since Logan was born...I have tons of pictures printed-they need to be organized and then scrapbooked. That will be fun :o)

?Potty Training?

2010-03-17T17:28:00.002-05:00

I tried to get Logan to wear pull ups or underwear last week...He didn't want anything to do with them. The were on, he thought about it for a sec, and they were off again. He has been telling me he has to pee, but his diaper is usually wet in between too. Guess we are not ready yet.....Oh well!

Emily as President

2010-03-10T17:03:00.006-06:00

Emily was President Andrew Johnson in the class presentation of Presidents. I made sure I charged my camera battery, but didn't realize my memory card was about full (actually when I downloaded these pictures I noticed that a little boy got a hold of my camera and took a pictures and videos of his own). Therefore I only got the very beginning of her speech-She did a very good job--even thru someones cell phone ringing and my camera beeping that it was full. On th video below you need to turn up your volume, because she had a scratchy throat.

Hangin' out with Devin

It's Still Cold

2010-02-24T16:03:00.003-06:00

M-I and Wogan just hangin' out--Lazy Saturday
Will spring ever come? I am so tired of snow and cold! Ready to get outside and play. Not really anything new around here.. Logan's new name for Emily is what sounds like M-I. Now that he can get into the refrigerator its time to find a lock. I find cheese wrappers, cheese, and juice boxes everywhere.

Ready to go Fishin' Grandpa

Ears Pierced

2010-02-07T12:48:00.001-06:00

Emily was finally able to get

her ears pierced on Thursday

Hooked on Farmville

2010-02-03T17:38:00.002-06:00

Yeah-I didn't think I would play those facebook games, but guess what? I AM HOOKED ON FARMVILLE! I also just started CafeWorld and Em plays Petville. Hope it doesn't all get out of control :o)

Cookin

2010-01-27T08:21:00.001-06:00

I heard a bunch of noises coming from the kitchen. I walked in and asked "What are you doing?" He said "Cookin'"

HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY BROOKE!

This Week in Robinsonland

2010-01-17T07:05:00.005-06:00

The kids have been good. Em had basketball games yesterday. She twisted her ankle, which Kyle made her walk it off and all is good. Then in the last quarter she took a ball to the ear. After a little ice that was better too. She does take after her mom when it comes to sports, but I am proud that she is trying. If I remember my camera next week, I'll get some pictures posted.

This was a long week for me. With Vicki on vacation at work, it left me all alone and in charge--problem after problem. And to top it off my cold turned into a sinus infection. I finally broke down and went to the Dr. I have a rx, and feel better, but it's slow going. Today is the day our house gets back to order....WHAT A MESS!!

2010-01-09T19:27:00.002-06:00

I am going to take after Karrie and post post (at least) once a week. Em had her first basketball game today. I missed it because I had to work, but I will be there next week. Logan is into telling us he luvs us...."Wuv oo mommy" just melts your heart..he knows how to say it when he is in trouble-he holds his hands out for a hug too-the little turd. We are still fighting colds that we were blessed with on Christmas Morning.

Christmas again

2010-01-06T19:00:00.002-06:00

The Fassler's finally got together on New Years Day for Christmas. It was so nice that the entire family was here. The kids all had a blast opening gifts and making a disaster out of my house. Oh well it was Christmas...I let it slide. It took a few days but everything is back to normal.

Merry Christmas

2009-12-25T21:02:00.005-06:00

Once we finally got out of our driveway and were able to get into Kamphoff's driveway we had a wonderful Robinson/Specht Christmas's today

Cookie Time

2009-12-18T18:53:00.002-06:00

Emily and I baked Christmas Cookies after school today. We made four kinds-Sugar, Choc Stars, Peanut butter and No-Bake. The Choc Stars and the Peanut butter ones are AWESOME..The other two I haven't tried yet. We each had to burn ourselves once, me on the finger and Em on her arm-oh she said twice on her arm. No promises that there will be any left on Christmas-but we'll try.

FINALLY

2009-12-16T16:43:00.002-06:00

He finally said it -->"Luv you"...we have been trying and trying to get Logan to say luv you since he started forming words. He copies us and we try and sneak it in, but he would never say it. Yesterday I was sitting here and he came in and I got a great big "LUV YOU". Of coarse he won't say it when asked, but at least I know he knows how to say it.

Naturally Slim

2009-12-06T15:31:00.002-06:00

I started on the Naturally Slim program on 9/20/09....It's a 10 week program that our insurance program was looking into. I was lucky enough to be chosen for the 2nd pilot group. I am so happy!!! ... I have lost 28 lbs and 19.25 inches. If anyone ever gets the chance to participate in this program-I highly recommend it :o) It's not what you eat, but how and when.

He's Talking Now

2009-12-06T15:21:00.004-06:00

Even though I do not understand him most of the time and a lot of words sound the same, I am doing pretty good with "Logan Language". My favorite words are: vacky (vacuum), shoser (shower), and sorsey (sorry). Last weeks word of the week was help. He copies everything we say--so someone has to clean up his langage a little. He is quite the little talker.

Logan's Birthday

2009-11-26T07:09:00.003-06:00

Logan had a GREAT 2nd BIRTHDAY...Here he is blowing out his candle. We are so glad everyone could make it.......LOGAN SAYS THANK YOU ALL!

I'M SO EXCITED

2009-11-13T18:18:00.003-06:00

We received an e-mail today from Em's teacher. She said Em had a terrific week, she's been working hard and has had a positive attitude!!!

Got a lot done

2009-11-12T05:51:00.003-06:00

I had the day off yesterday and did so much....5 loads of laundry (washed, and put away), painted the bathroom ceiling, painted the patched wall in Em's room, cleaned the bathroom, ordered 4 Christmas gifts, checked the status on 3 packages already ordered, picked up the house, made lasagna, and helped with homework. Yes it was all with a little boy following me around all day. Whew!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

2009-10-31T21:03:00.005-05:00

EM WAS ALEX FROM WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE

LOGAN WAS TIGGER

AREN'T THEY CUTE

GRANDPA HAD TO TRY ON EM'S WIG

Parent - Teacher Conference

2009-10-26T18:29:00.003-05:00

I had a Parent/Teacher Conference with Em's teacher tonight. She is very smart, needs to grow more confidence, learn that school is important, and work on understanding what she is reading....Not worry so much about her social life. Mrs. K really likes Em and thinks she is a neat kid. We will see if we can work on not being so moody along with everything else.

Pumpkin Patch

2009-10-18T17:00:00.004-05:00

While it was a little windy today, it was a great day to go to the Pumpkin Patch. The kids picked out pumpkins, went on a hay ride, we did a corn maze, shucked corn, and all kinds of fun stuff.

TERRIBLE TWO'S

2009-10-16T19:18:00.003-05:00

I was going to post that the TERRIBLE TWOS are upon us, but after talking with Grandma this afternoon I realized it's the same stuff he has been doing for quite a while. I guess I must be a little more laid back in my old age....I remember with Emily TERRIBLE TWOS starting around 18 months and lasting until---is she over it yet?

2009-10-10T09:05:00.000-05:00

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY DEREK!

BIBLE

2009-10-02T16:37:00.002-05:00

Emily received her Bible in Church two weeks ago.

It's been a while

2009-09-28T18:32:00.003-05:00

Since I posted last--Let's see, on the way home from Des Moines two weeks ago Emily got sick in the truck right before we got to Holstein. To make a long story short--there was a hole in the bag....Sorry for the person who found that along side his corn field. Anyway, as we were walking into the house-Logan got sick too. They were both fine by the next morning. Two days later I got it, then the next night Kyle got it. I think it got worse as it went along. We have all recovered and since then the kids and I have gotten our flu shot.

Emily is busy in school and soccer. Logan is busy playing and getting into everything that he is not suppose to (the usual). Same ole Same ole with Kyle and I--so you haven't missed anything to important with us

Busy

2009-09-06T19:01:00.004-05:00

What a busy Holiday weekend. Friday night Mom, Dad, Devin, Lynnette, Kevin, Sophia and Derek came over and we grilled pork chops and hot dogs. Saturday I worked 6 hours and then headed to Cutty's to hang out with the entire family (Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousins). We ate, played, swam, ate some more and then came home. This morning I made eggs, muffins and dad made the bacon. Lynnette and Kevin headed out a little after 2:00. I got Logan down for his nap and took about a 40 min nap myself. I think I will relax tomorrow! Maybe I will download my pictures and see if I got anything good (my camera is broken and I can't see anything until they are downloaded).

Look What Logan Got Today

2009-08-30T17:09:00.002-05:00

Now I won't worry about him falling when he climbs out of bed. Thanks again for the find and delivery Caryl and Brooke!

Our Week

2009-08-30T10:12:00.005-05:00

Nothing out of the ordinary this week. Kyle finished out racing at Alta-He ended up 2nd place. He's pretty happy with the season, considering he used 3 different cars. I think he was 22 points out of 1st place--Great Job Honey!

Emily has another week of school under her belt. So far so good. Those spelling word are hard tho.

Logan is still into everything. Kelly said he bit another little girl a couple of times this week, but I think it's because she bites him.

I've been doing my usual-work-play-cook-clean-etc. Same stuff, different week.

Jumpin' Good Time

2009-08-22T21:24:00.001-05:00

We went over to the Kamphoff's tonight for a BBQ and fun. Here are all the kids jumping on the trampoline.

Shopping

2009-08-14T08:02:00.002-05:00

Emily and I dropped Logan off at Daycare yesterday and went shopping in Sioux City. We left at 8:00, had to make a pit stop to fix a spark plug that was causing the Tahoe to chug, and were shopping by 9:40. The original plan was that she needed a couple of pairs of Capri's and I needed some new work clothes. While I found nothing, she got 2 pairs of Jeans, 3 pairs of Capri's, 2 pairs of shorts, a skirt, 6 shirts, 3 pairs of shoes, and a pair of pj's. What can I say, Old Navy was having an awesome sale! I did tell her no more clothes until Christmas.

We hit about 7 or 8 stores and I did find a few bargains for Logan too. Emily was very good, I don't think I heard a word out of her all the way home.

Oh Boy!

2009-08-12T16:26:00.003-05:00

I am sitting in the family room this afternoon and Logan walks in. So somehow he managed to climb out of bed, and open his bedroom door. Oh my, what am I in for now???

Oceans/Worlds of Fun

2009-08-10T17:56:00.003-05:00

Friday night Christie dropped off Braeden and picked up Logan for the weekend. Saturday 7:00 AM-Kyle, Emily, Brae and I hit the road. Just so everyone is aware--There is A LOT of road construction on I-29. When we got to Kansas City, we checked into our hotel and headed to Oceans of Fun. It was hot and there were a lot of people. Have I ever said how much I HATE waiting in lines? I DO! Emily wanted to go on everything and Braeden wanted to go on nothing. That is the way Sunday went at Worlds of Fun too, except there were not really any lines. Emily had no fear. She is 53 inches tall -there were a few rides that you had to be at least 54 inches to go on. Did I say Em has no fear? She rode those roller coasters with her hands straight up in the air (I was hanging on for dear life). And since Braeden didn't want to ride most of the rides, and someone had to stay with him, Kyle and Em would go and then Emily and I would go, so she rode most things twice. She even rode some, that we didn't want to ride, by herself.

This morning we ate breakfast and headed home. Logan was excited to see all of us and I was certainly happy to see him. Thanks Antie Christie and Grandma Caryl for watching Logan!

Chillin' in the Race Car

Potty Training Already?

2009-08-03T19:30:00.003-05:00

I think it was just a fluke....Logan spotted the potty chair in the basement this afternoon. He pointed to it, said "potty" then took off his shorts. I thought ok lets see what he does, so I took off his diaper. To my amazement he went. We did try it again later and nothing. That's ok-it's to soon for me-he's still my baby.

Weekend at Home

2009-08-01T20:23:00.002-05:00

Yes, even Emily is home this weekend. Last night we, well I, went through the toys in the play room. I get rid of things much better by myself. Emily did end up saving a few items from the trash pile-but I managed to throw out quite a bit and box up 2 boxes for Goodwill. This morning was cleaning day. I actually got floors vacuumed and mopped. For some reason recently I either get mopping done or vacuuming done...never all of it at once. I don't know what we will do tomorrow-probably end up picking up again--as usual!

Weekend

2009-07-27T17:00:00.002-05:00

We had a busy weekend. On Saturday morning, while I worked, Kyle and the kids went to the lakes. Emily was fortunate enough to stay there with Grandma Caryl, Grandpa Marv, Braeden and the rest of the campers. Brooke came over and watched Logan and Caleb and Kyle and I had a night out. First out for supper and then to a street dance. I even got my picture on the Bands website: www.juddhoos.com/photos/255 -check out pictures 6 and 7.

Sunday afternoon I dropped Brooke, Caleb and Logan at Mike and Christie's house then we checked out some open houses around town...also drove around for about an hour just checking things out. Still no luck finding what we (I) want. I did a little school supply shopping, ate supper and was asleep by 7:00.

Happy Birthday

2009-07-23T16:16:00.001-05:00

I know I told you yesterday-but
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN GRANDMA!!

Rough Saturday Night

2009-07-19T11:42:00.002-05:00

Not Kyle or Me--Our poor kids. Emily stepped on a nail, and Logan walked in front of someone swinging and was hit in the eye by the wooden swing. Does anyone know where I can get a couple of bubbles for them to live in?

Vacation

2009-07-10T15:47:00.004-05:00

I have been on vacation this week--Below I posted slide shows of my days with each of the kids.

Wed--Em, Brae, Brooke, Christie, Lindi and I went to Kings Pointe for the afternoon--Em was not afraid of any of the slides or diving boards.

Today Logan and I played at the park and then went to the Fair--It was super muddy, but we checked out the petting zoo and walked around a little.

Day with Logan

2009-07-10T15:45:00.000-05:00

Day with Emily

2009-07-10T15:15:00.002-05:00

Today we cleaned and played

2009-07-06T20:03:00.003-05:00

Hair Cut

2009-07-05T15:00:00.002-05:00

Emily picked out her own new hair style on Friday. Liza chopped off 8 inches. I think I asked Em if she was sure about 5 times---she was ready for a change.

Happy 4th

2009-07-05T14:48:00.004-05:00

Hope everyone had a happy 4th of July-Despite the Cold-Rainy morning we ventured up to the lakes to go boating.....

Emily was the only one brave enough to get into the water

( I think the water temp was warmer than the air temp)

Anniversary

2009-06-28T15:05:00.002-05:00

Last night Kyle and I went out for our Anniversary (which is actually today). We went to Golden Corral for supper and then to the boat to loose some money...Neither one of us had any luck what-so-ever. (We actually were going to go to Texas Roadhouse for supper---next time we will call ahead).

What have we been up to?

2009-06-25T14:14:00.002-05:00

Sorry so long since the last post. Lets see --The week of the 8th Vicki was on vacation all week, so I had to hold down the fort (at work) all by my self...Add in Emily had Bible School every morning that week, Kelly (our Daycare) got Strep Throat and Logan ended up getting Pink Eye...Thank you Caryl and Karissa for helping me out with the kids that week.....I was a little stressed that week. Not to mention Kyle totalled his race car Thursday night. I thought he would be done, but no he found a new one right away and has been working on it during his free time--That's all I say on that one.

Last week was inventory week. They updated our computers (at work). They do it every summer-This year they updated things like Excel and Outlook--You know when you are already busy, it sucks to try and have to figure out the things that are so routine-Like opening a file. AHHH!!! Wed night/Thurs AM we had storms go through town. We were without power for 2 hours at the store. I know other parts of town were out longer. The generator did kick on, but that doesn't run as much as you think it would.

This week Monday Emily and I worked in the concession stand at the ball park and it was HOT & HUMID!! Emily did a great job taking money and handing back change-I was pretty proud. I don't know if it was the heat mixed with lack of sleep, but I have felt pretty crappy this week-better today. That's it in a nut shell-I think your all up to date.

2009-06-21T16:07:00.000-05:00

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

We too went to the Zoo

18 Month Check Up

2009-06-02T19:16:00.002-05:00

My baby boy isn't such a baby anymore. Logan had his 18 month check up and he is 22 lbs 4 oz and 32 inches tall. Happy and Healthy and the Dr said we can still keep him if we wanted to. Of coarse I said yes!!! Emily went along just so she could watch him get his shots. He only ended up having to get one, but still cried to let me know he wasn't happy.

Weekend Wedding

2009-05-27T14:23:00.004-05:00

Emily, Logan, Great Grandma Marge, Great Grandpa Jerry and I traveled to Iowa Falls Saturday morning and met up with the rest of the family for Trevor and Tricia's wedding....What a fun time swimming, dancing and partying with everyone!!

I wanted to download my pictures and videos before posting this, but my little cord thief has misplaced my cord.....When I find it you'll get photos/a video.

2009-05-19T19:38:00.001-05:00

Where has the time gone? It doesn't seem like 8 years!

Birthday Trip to the Dr's Office

2009-05-19T19:28:00.003-05:00

I received a call from the school nurse just as I was sitting down to eat lunch today. It seemed as though Emily had a rock stuck in her ear. I called the Dr's office and they told me to bring her right in.....So I am getting the story that a boy was throwing rocks and one landed in her ear. As it turns out there were 3 rocks in her ear, they were just little ones, smaller then pebbles. The Dr just flushed them out and I was back eating my lunch about a half hour after I had originally started. Oh, the rocks are somewhere in the Tahoe mixed in with all the other little rocks on the floor.

2009-05-19T05:54:00.001-05:00

Party Weekend

2009-05-17T20:10:00.002-05:00

We celebrated Emily Birthday yesterday (since we are going to be gone to a wedding next weekend). She had three of her friends come over from 1:00 - 3:00 for their little party, then we had family come at 4:00. I think fun was had by all. Emily said she LOVES all of her gifts-THANK YOU EVERYONE!! I will try and get pictures up in the next day or two.

2009-05-10T10:01:00.000-05:00

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

Spring Cleaning

2009-05-03T15:30:00.003-05:00

I decided last weekend that this weekend we were going to Spring Clean. We (Emily and I) got started Friday. I did Logan's room first, so it would be done by the time he went to bed. After I got him to bed I did Kyle and my room and the dusting in the computer room....Em started in her room and did a few odds and ends here and there.

Saturday was hard getting going with Logan right at my feet, and then by nap time I was totally out of the mood. I did eventually get a little more done, but not at all everything I was wanting to get done....I guess it will wait until the next time I get the cleaning bug.

Emily loves to wash windows

Look what I found in my Bathroom Sink

2009-05-03T15:28:00.002-05:00

Emily's Busy Weekend

2009-04-26T20:15:00.002-05:00

Friday night had a Girl Scout Sleep over--She says she only got 3 hours of sleep. Saturday she came home and slept for about 4 hours, then we headed over to Natalie's 4th Birthday party. She played with all kinds of cousins. Friday night we celebrated Great Grandpa Chet and Great Grandma Midge's Anniversary with a BBQ....Then everyone went Bowling. Emily and Brae spent the night at Grandma Caryl and Grandpa Marv's house. Today we (Emily and I) had a date and went to see the Hannah Montana movie. Busy - Busy - Busy

The Joys of Spring

2009-04-25T22:25:00.004-05:00

Rainy cold one weekend (which I think made everything turn green after last weekend)-Then warmer-warmer-record breaking high-cooler and windy-back to cold...Not to mention sore throats, coughing, sneezing and double ear infection. Ahhh the Joys of spring!!!

A Night Out

2009-04-18T10:39:00.003-05:00

Yep-That's right Kyle and I went out last night. Grandma Caryl picked up Em and Logan for the night and we headed to Sioux City. We looked around for a birthday gift for Emily, then drove around looking for a place for supper. We were going to try Texas Roadhouse, but couldn't even find a spot to park in the lot-they were so busy. We finally decided on Red Lobster. The food was great and we didn't have to wait to long for our food...By the way-does anyone know what Kyle should have used his little tiny fork that they gave him for? After supper we headed to the boat. Kyle ended up hitting his winnings after about the second spin. He did share some of his winnings with me-Which I in turn gave back to the boat. I think he came out ahead a little. Thanks for watching the kids Grandma Caryl!!!

The things I have learned this past week

2009-04-15T11:53:00.006-05:00

Logan does not like the car wash.

Emily will not to just anything for an allowance (wants big $$ for little things).

Put lotion on Logan's hand for him to rub into his tummy and he will try and eat it (He did spit it right back out).

Emily may need glasses in the next year or two.

Small bumps can cause very large bruises.

A new shed with more room makes Kyle very happy.

You can poop the color Lime Green

The Past Week

2009-04-11T16:24:00.004-05:00

Sorry again-Time just gets away from me way to fast. What have we been up to? Last Friday after school we headed to Des Moines to celebrate Sophia's 3rd birthday. Surprise when we got there--Grandma Marilyn flew in for about 10 days. Sophia took a liking to Logan and Derek to Emily....

On Sunday AM we woke to snow...The original forecast was for a blizzard here at home and not much at all for Des Moines--but of coarse it went south and we received very little snow at home. We did finally venture home and made it to Caleb's 3rd Birthday Party just in time for cake.

Grandma Marilyn came back for a few days-we went shopping and to see the Easter Bunny--for pictures you can check out Devin's web site...

Logan's new tricks

2009-03-04T16:14:00.004-06:00

One night after supper, I asked Logan to pick up all his food he had thrown on the floor and put it into the trash can. He thought that was pretty cool. He loves to throw things away. I also started asking him to put his dirty clothes in his hamper in his room. So far I have only found 1 sock in the garbage and 1 diaper in the hamper--which I guess is a good thing to check before I empty the hamper into the washer.

Only a few weeks ago-he wanted nothing to do with his shoes. I think it was Sunday he brought them to me and now wants them on ALL THE TIME!! It's probably a good thing since summer will be coming soon and I want him to wear shoes outside.

Logan has also started climbing on everything-Like the coffee tables, and the kitchen chairs, then up on the table. He is fearless.

I forgot to blog after his 15 month shots last week--He is still the little guy-only 21 1/2 lbs.

You tell me-are both these pictures Logan?

Second one is Emily

Dancing Fool

2009-02-22T12:02:00.005-06:00

Logan has 3 molars all coming in at the same time, so he has been VERY CRANKY. I did catch this rare happy couple of minutes last weekend. Emily was playing her Chipmunk CD and Logan decided to show us a his dance moves...Sorry about my outburst at the end--Emily decided to jump behind me into the recliner I was sitting in and rock me.

Devin

2009-02-09T18:31:00.002-06:00

I watched Devin on Saturday night and I just have to share this because it is so cute. Logan has learned how to climb up on the coffee table, and no matter how much I scold him he keeps getting up there. Devin and I were sitting playing and I happend to look up to see Logan standing on the coffee table again. I said "LOGAN YOU GET DOWN!" Devin turned around and pointed at Logan and yelled "NO!" What a good helper he is.

I ADMIT IT!!!

2009-02-09T18:22:00.003-06:00

Yes, I backed into our white car with the Tahoe (I blame the snow at the end of the driveway). Yes, it left a pretty good dent in the car, but it is on it's last leg anyway. The Tahoe is fine and that is what matters right? You have to admit....I have a pretty good driving record thus far (knock on wood)....The only two things that were my fault is this and the very first time I backed the Tahoe out of the garage I broke the passenger side mirror--who knew the mirrors projected twenty feet out on either side??? It's not like I have ran into the side of the house two or three times like someone else I know.

Just had to get that off my chest :o)

YEAH STEELERS

Logan Language

2009-02-02T15:54:00.005-06:00

Logan is doing a little talking. So far, what I can understand, is:
Mum
Dad
IE means Emily
Ju means Juice
Uh Oh
Ar means Puppy-->you know a puppy says arrff
For a while he has said something that sounds like "what is that" I don't know if that is what he is saying or not, but that is what it sounds like.

Logan knows where his tongue is, and if you ask him where his socks are (whether he has them on or not) he always looks down at his feet. I got my first kiss (without asking) last week. I was telling him NO and he came over and gave me a kiss.

It sounds like he is still the smallest of the group, but he is getting along just fine.

Commercials

2009-01-24T20:34:00.002-06:00

The past few days Emily has informed me there is a new mascara that doesn't clump your lashes together like other mascaras do. She also told me about a press that you can use to make hamburgers and a new steam mop. Do you think maybe she is paying a little to much attention to commercials?

HAPPY 60th ANNIVERSARY

GRANDMA AND GRANDPA

HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY BROOKE

Swimming and Other Misc

2009-01-12T16:15:00.003-06:00

Yep, we went swimming on Saturday for Skyler's 4th and Brooke's 15th birthday party. Well, the kids and Kyle swam--I have decided I better lose a few pounds before being seen in public in a suit. Anyway we all had fun.

Sunday I started bringing up the many many boxes and bags of stuff that I was storing in the basement for goodwill. After taking it out and loading it I had a FULL Tahoe. So instead of waiting to take it on Wed. Em, Logan and I made the trip yesterday......Good thing-I don't think Winter is ever going to end! Another blizzard today, so no school.....

Logan has been fighting a cold for a little over a week. Kyle had it, then Em and Logan....Em got over hers pretty quick. I got some kind of a sinus crap. Anyway I figured a week was long enough for Logan to suffer so Kyle took him into the Dr and he has strep throat again. Poor guy--he never had a fever so I never guessed it was strep. We've got meds now so hopefully he will feel better soon.

Happy Birthday Skyler

Happy Birthday Little D

HAVE A GREAT 1ST BIRTHDAY DEVIN!!

Our Uninvited Guest

2008-12-31T13:25:00.003-06:00

After returning from the Library, I left Em and Logan in the car while I carried in all of our stuff. I left the door open behind me and set everything on the kitchen table. I heard something and assumed it was Em coming in behind me. I turned around just in time to see a little black squirrel run through the back door. It went straight to the bay window. While it was running back and forth and knocking everything over, I am screaming and thinking I hope it doesn't come at me. It then turned and left the way it came. I guess I won't leave the door open behind me anytime soon--and I don't think I need any more excitement for the rest of the day!!!

I gave Blood

2008-12-30T16:30:00.003-06:00

I did it today for the first time. I am very proud of myself, because I was so scared. I think the finger prick hurt more than anything. My New Years resolution is to give blood every time I can.
