Hey there everyone. Sorry that I haven't updated lately. The girls and I went to Mom and Dad's for spring break a couple of weeks ago and I got really sick again. Luckily I didn't have to go to the er again. Well everything here is going good. Like I said the girls and I were in Idaho for a week. It was a lot of fun. The girls got to see grandma, grandpa and aunt Sarah and I got to see Abbie and William. Oh ya, Melanie was there also. ;) We had a very event full week. The girls got to have a Easter egg hunt at Aunt Melanie's house with some of their cousins. Uncle Josh had a great time shooting me with his new Nerf gun. We also got to go horseback riding with aunt Sarah, went swimming at the YMCA with grandma, and saw all the animals at the zoo. We spent pretty much everyday with Melanie and her kids. I think that Abbie overdosed on cousins. That girl is worse than the energizer bunny. She never wants to stop. The girls also had a great time digging in the dirt with their other cousin Eva Jean. I was glad to see the trip over. I really needed a rest before I had to go back to work. I forgot how busy little ones are and how much you have to watch them so they don't get into everything.

Alex and I are doing well. We are just working away. I think that he enjoyed his week away from the girls. He even had a week off from taking care of the dog since I took her with me. Princess really need to be able to play out side with the other dogs.

The girls are just about done with soccer. They have their last game on Saturday. YEAH! I really like to watch them play sports but I will be so glad to have my Saturdays back. Well that is about it for now from us. I know we live a very dull life. What can I say. Take care and I will talk with you all later.

HAPPY EASTER/ANNIVERSARY

Greetings everyone. Yes Happy Anniversary to Alex and I. Today makes it twelve years that we have been together. It is hard to believe that we have been together that long. It has been so nice to have him home for an anniversary. We really didn't do much since today is Sunday and also Easter. We went out to dinner last night with the kids. We just had a quiet night tonight with the kids watching movies.

Yesterday the girls had another soccer game. They have been improving so well. The field was really messy and muddy. They were all over the field trying to keep the ball away from the other team. Ashley was able to be the goalie again. She is really good. She was all over that ball. Her favorite thing to do was jump in the mud after the ball. She was a total mess after the game.

Our team lost but we did score a couple of goals.

After the game we had a neighborhood Easter egg hunt. All of the neighborhood kids were there. We had a lot of eggs to find. It was a lot of fun for the kids and some of us decided to make it a BBQ next year.

Alex has been doing well after his surgery. He wasn't able to watch TV or play on the computer. He slept most of the time and the rest of the time he was bugging me. It was really nice having him there to talk to and not have to compete with a game or movie. He still has a hard time seeing clearly but it will get better for him.

Well we hope that all is well with you and your families. We will talk to you all later. Take care.

Greetings

Well hello everyone. Can you believe it. I didn't wait months to update this. We seem to have a pretty good week. Ashley lost three teeth this last week. Two on the bottom and one on top. The tooth fairy around here kept for getting to take her teeth and leave money. Ashley was talking about charging the tooth fairy $20 for being late all the time. Alex finally cleaned out the garage these last two weekends. He even said that he enjoyed being out in the garage working. I was a little shocked about that. Sam is being her normal self. She wanted to put Ashley's last tooth under her pillow since the tooth fairy forgot to take it and also because her sister already got $2 for the last two teeth. I told her that the tooth fairy doesn't like to be tricked.

Ashley had her basketball party tonight. They had it with the older girls too. It was really nice. Ashley got another trophy. Her team tied for 3rd place. I don't know with how many other schools. She also received her team pictures so I guess I have to add that to her scrapbook.

Well it looks like the rest of the month is going to be filled with new adventures. The girls are going to be starting soccer this week. They should be having their first game this Saturday. Next Monday Alex will be having out patient surgery on his eyes so he won't need his glasses anymore. That means I get to have him home for a week while he recovers. At least he won't be on the computer the whole time. The girls and I are planning a trip to mom and dad's for spring break at the end of the month. I can't wait. I just want to see Melanie's kids.

Well we hope that all is well with you. I will try to keep this updated as best as i can. Take care and we love you all.

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.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hey everyone. We hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving. We had a great time. Mom, dad and Sarah came down for the weekend. I really loved cooking for everyone. Mom, Sarah and I went shopping on Friday. We didn't hit any of the early sales we went to the book store and then to IKEA. We did end our day at the mall but the crowds weren't to bad. On Saturday Mom and dad took the girls out to see Aunt Janeen and Aunt Ashley. Mom did bring me some couches. She was getting rid of her couches in her living room because she was receiving new furniture from Ashley's mom and dad. I now have living room furniture.

The girls are doing great. They had a great time with Aunt Sarah. Alex is still working hard. My job is going well. They were training me on the register today. I guess that means that i will be getting out of the dish room for a while. We hope that all is well is everyone.

Howdy

Hey there. Well we had another exciting week in Harmonland. I thought that we were done with sports last week with Ashley's last volleyball game. No such luck. I got a call from Sam's basketball coach on Tuesday saying that their first game was on Saturday. Sam is part of a different schools team since there was only two girls from her school who signed up to play. The school that she is playing for is a half hour drive away. Of course what isn't a half hour drive away from me. The game is played interesting for third graders. The only thing that they can't do is take the ball away from a player. Some girls had to be reminded to dribble the ball while they ran. I have never seen so much traveling and double dribbling since I played basketball with grandpa foreman. They didn't keep score but the other team clearly won. Sam had no idea what she was doing but she was having a blast doing it.

As I had said. Ashley is now finished with volleyball. They had their team party last night at at the school. They played three games against the parents. The girls even beat the parents on the second game. The parents won the third game since I served the winning shot. ;P They all received trophy's and a certificate of playing. It was a really fun night.

While the girls and I were playing all week Alex was out in the field setting up and tearing down a hospital. He came home late Thursday night. When I saw him on Friday he told me what he had done and showed me how swollen his hands and feet were from constant work. Ladies, they looked worse than a 9 month pregnant lady who was also retaining water. He couldn't even open a milk jug.

Well that's all that is going on here. I guess we will chat with you all later.
