One More Week

And we can't wait for the end of school. The next week will be crazy and you can feel the excitement in the kids. The first few weeks of summer vacation will be just as crazy. Today was Jason's talent show. He went up and belted out "Take me out to a ball game." He did great.


Megan's class had their Kingdom of Reads A lot Party today. She met her reading goal and was crowned princess. The boy and girl who read the most was crowned queen and king. Steve and I helped set up and handle the food. This was a great way to get the kids motivated to read.


Yesterday Steve and I hung out at the library (always fun without kids) and got a bunch of books. I got some reading but mostly quilting books. I have so many projects I want to do. Megan found a paper pieced square she wants to try. That may be a good summer project for us to do together.

Here is another picture of Jason and his friend before they go on stage. She read a really cute poem.

Happy Birthday Grandma

Happy Birthday Grandma. We miss you and really wish we could be with you today.



Tonight's game was a good one. They won 12 to 6. Anthony stole home and hit a RBI. The downside to tonight was that it rained off and on. It is really hard to take pictures while holding an umbrella. We could see and hear a thunder storm but it never got to us. Here are some pictures from tonight and I am off to bed. I know they are not the best shots but there was no better place to stand and still see home plate.

Mellow Sunday

I have lots to do today but I am not doing any of it. My theroy is: house work will be there in the morning.

My Mom is famous, well maybe not famous. She is on a radio commercial in Sacramento talking about their new windows. I will see if I can post on here.

Today I am making chocolate chip cookies. I am taking a couple of them and using leftover ice cream and making ice cream sandwiches. I am also catching up on my podcast's. I have spent so much time listening to all my news talk radio and I am really getting sick of them. Tired of listening to the latest on Obama and Clinton. At the moment I could care less. There is so much doom and gloom on the news and talk radio right now. I live the gas and food prices. I do have a 14 year old whose new hobby is to stand in front of an open refrigerator. So no news or anything, I have been listening to all my fun and more importantly funny podcasts.

So, with that being said. I am off to finish my cookies and listen to my ipod. Have a good Sunday.

Happy Saturday

It has finally warmed up a little bit. I think we are in the 50's and 60's and raining. I was able to move my plants back outside. The general feeling around here that at least it's not snowing. No real big plans today, which is good. Megan, Jason and DJ (Meg's friend) are working their way through a game they rented from Blockbuster. Anthony bought a model of a car from the hobby store. He thought he would be done in a couple of days, but it is going to take a lot longer. Steve is home today and we are going to have a BBQ tonight. I am going to putter in the kitchen and work on some crafty stuff today. I also need to do some laundry. I am loving this kind of weekend. We don't have anyplace to be this weekend.

Found a Picture

I was going through my Flickr account and found this picture. It is of Jason and his new glasses.

Nothing to exciting going on here unless you consider catching up on laundry exciting. It's been raining and cold the last couple of days. I have all my plants ready for the garden and I am keeping my fingers crossed that they don't start dying off. If it stays cold today, I will be bringing them inside the house. Anthony's baseball game was canceled last night because of the rain. Jason has one today and for some reason they never cancel their games. The kids have 9 more school days left until summer and we are all getting excited. Don't mistake summer with relaxing. We are loaded down with baseball games the first week of vacation. Anthony will be gone for a couple of weeks at different camps. Megan will spend 3 days at girl scout camp and Steve is going to fly back to Sacramento. That is just June, I don't want to even think about July yet.

I Almost Forgot

We had some really good news from Steve's parents. His Dad's body is handling the chemo really well. His cell counts are all up and looking good. He has also put on some weight. There is a couple more weeks in this round of treatment before he gets a week off. Then they will take a much needed break and head off on a short vacation. Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers.

Baseball Pictures of Anthonys Game

Here are some pictures from Anthony's game last night. They won 9 to 4. These pics are of Anthony getting ready to steal 3rd then of him actually stealing 3rd. He also stole home as well. It is rainy and cold here with thunder storms. Yeahhhhh.
