Greetings

Well I hope that everyone has had a good week. We had a fun week here. The girls and I got to enjoy a four day weekend while Alex only had a three day weekend. On Monday we went to the movies with a family from church. We all went and saw Spiderwick. It was really good. The girls really loved it even though they said it was a little scary. The girls got to hang out at our neighbors house Tuesday morning while I had to go to a meeting for work. Luckily it didn't last all day. The rest of the week went by really quick. We had the new neighbors three boys over for pizza, movie and games. They are some active boys. I almost had to hog tie one up because he was getting into everything and would not sit still. I told Alex that having them over almost makes me not want anymore kids. Alex suggested that we have them over more often.

Ashley had her last basketball game on Saturday. It was a great game. First we would be ahead then the other team would take the lead. By the end of the game we were tied 13 to 13. They played one minuet of overtime with our team making the only point. The team, coach and parents went wild. The coach's wife said that if they lost she wasn't going to go home with her husband since he will be extremely grouchy and she couldn't go home with him if the won either since he will be bouncing off the walls. Poor lady. Afterwards we went to the px to do a little tax return shopping. The girls and I made out. The girls each got a MP3 player and I got a new camera. I am having so much fun with my new toy. As you can see in the video the girls really love their new toys too.

Well we hope that you all have a great week. I will try to write again later. Take care and we love you all.

FINALLY.......

I know that it has been months since I last wrote. Almost three months to be exact. Well so much has been happening since the last time I wrote. First we had christmas. The girls had a great Holiday. They got pretty much what they wanted. We got the girls a basketball hoop. They really love it. We all had a great holiday. We did have one great suprise last month. It snowed and it didn't melt away. The girls had their very first snow day this year. They had so much fun sledding down the driveway and on the hill in our front yard. All of the neighborhood kids were over playing. It didn't last to long but to me it was perfect. We haven't had a lot of snow here. It seems when it did snow it melted as it hit the ground.


Well we are still doing sports. Sam had completed basketball in December. She had fun but she says that she doesn't want to play agian. Ashley is playing basketball now. I am really impressed on how well she is doing. She is really an agressive player. She hasn't made a basket in a game yet but she really knows how to be a team player. Next month we are going to be starting soccer and then we are done with sports for the rest of the school year. I can't wait to have my saturday's back. The girls are doing well in school. Sam is helping kids in her class with their math. Its good for her since it keeps her busy.

Alex is still not liking his job. I feel really bad for him. He is always coming home so stressed out. I think that he is really looking forward to a deployment. I know that sounds bad but he says that he needs a vacation. I am still working at the high school. I really am liking being a lunch lady. Other than that not much is going on with us. I was really sick last week. We got to spend six hours in the ER last sunday. I was very dehydrated and had to be buffed up. It completely wiped me out. I am very grateful to Alex for taking care of me and the kids even if his bed side manner is less than perfect. Well we hope all of you are doing well. I promise that I won't wait another three months to write.
