2008 in Review

2008 has come and gone already.  It sure seemed to go by quickly…sometimes a little too quickly!
January
The year started out with me beginning to work on Power Lab VBS (Ah Ha!).  I was also homeschooling Michael.  We were pretty on top of our schooling and things were going pretty smoothly at the time.  I was [...]

Christmas Past

When I was young, every year we had Christmas for my mom’s side of the family on Christmas Eve at our house…well, mom and dad’s, I just lived there because I was too young to get a job and live on my own
Anyway, I can remember standing in the doorway a day or [...]

My niece

My niece is 8 years old.  2 years ago, she was diagnosed with Juvinile Diabetes.
It’s been a long hard road for their family these past 2 years.  They’ve had to learn how to count all the carbs that she consumes, adjust the insilin to help her body work properly. I’ve learned so much in the [...]

Not soon enough!

School can’t come quickly enough!  This week has been the worst week of summer!  My 4 boys have driven me absolutely nuts every day this week…and it’s only Wednesday!!
I’ve been supporting a headache each day from all the yelling, fighting, and screaming…mostly from mommy!  Then after I lose it, I feel so horrible!  Sad that [...]

Camping trip **PIC HEAVY**

We left Wednesday Morning (8/13) to go camping. I couldn’t believe how full our truck was! I had to have the dog sit between my feet because there wasn’t room in the back for the Kennel. Good thing we took her to my parent’s instead of camping with us!
We arrived (after a [...]

Cereal again?

Why is it that whenever my children are given free rain to eat what they want for lunch or super, they choose cereal?
Today was no different, they all had cereal for breakfast, then turned around and had cereal for a snack (dry of course).  Then when I told them it was lunch time and said [...]

I’m an Aunt again!

I was so blessed yesterday to get a call at 6:30 am asking me if I’m up! It was Stacy (my brother in law)…Denielle was in labor! Denielle and I have been growing closer and closer over the past couple of years and I had been asked to come to the hospital when [...]

A camping we will go…a camping we will go…

On Friday we headed out in the morning for our camping trip. This trip would be different than our usual camping trips. Instead of pre-booking our site and having to set up/tear down a tent, we used my Aunt Carol’s camper on her permanent site. Kevin’s brother has a permanent site 2 [...]

Camping

We had our Annual Father’s Day Camping weekend with my mom’s family this past weekend. We stayed at Ft. Loramie this year instead of Indian Lake. Everyone seemed to like Ft. Loramie better, well everyone except Kevin and dad! They said the fishing was BAD there!
We got there on Friday around 3 [...]
