Back in the blogging world!

Well it's been a really long time since I've posted on here! Just a little update for you..Cassidy is loving preschool and I'm loving that she is going to preschool! She is doing really well and now they are learning their last names..poor girl has the hardest name in the class! So we will be working on that at home! Caleb is doing well in second grade, it's always a little struggle with him but he's trying hard and his reading is improving. As for me I started working two days a week at a restaurant to help out with the bills and to also have time to be me! I'm loving it so far! Keith has just been working a lot as usual. We are excited for the new year and actually hope to make it to Washington D.C. this spring for a family trip! I really need to post some updated pics and I will in my next post. I'll just mush a bunch together so we can catch up!

Nicholas Sparks...

I just have to say how much I love Nicholas Sparks...I know that he has become a pretty popular author due to the success of The Notebook but I discovered him long before that and have always loved him. He reminds me everytime how much I love to read although I don't that often. I just got done reading Dear John tonight...it took me 4 hours to read the whole thing. Not unusual for me..I have this obsessive thing that books are like movies to me and I have to read them from front to back in as little time as possible..This is why I don't read that often, I rarely have the time or take the time to read a book for 4 hours straight! But this one is great read and worth every teardrop I cried!

So it's been awhile..as usual...

I am not very good at keeping up with this whole blogging thing, I'm trying though..We just got back from Hershey Park! We spent two nights camping at Hershey's Highmeadow Campground..in a tent!!! We met my mom and my step dad and my brother and his girlfreind there. We had a really good time at Hershey and Chocolate World but monday morning we woke up soaking wet in our tent and now I'm washing EVERYTHING because it all got wet. That part of the trip wasn't that fun. Keith and I argued all the way home because I didn't want to drive...very scary for me but he wasn't feeling well and he didn't want to drive and the weather was really bad so what should have taken us about 3.5 hours took about 4.5...but we got home fine. Glad we did something nice for the kids before summer is over...

I've been tagged....

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?

Let's see it was Aug of 98 and I was home in Klamath for the summer before college started. Working at a gas station for 4 hours a day! and I think around this time was when Natalie and I went on our road trip to my school and I got my first speeding ticket on the way home!

2. My house is usually a mess unless I'm expecting company, I"m the person that will stay up all night the night before to make sure my house looks like a model home and this is why I"m cranky at all the parties and get togethers I throw! and why I don't like it when people stop by my house unexpected...

Summer tan!

My pretty girl!!


Every year we go to the same place to watch fireworks, Cornwall Park. This year was no different. We go early enough to get the spot we have every year and we just wait and play until the festivities start. My brother and his girlfriend joined us, it was a nice day.

It's been awhile!

It has been way too long since I got on here I don't even know where to begin. I was having a little bit of doubt about this whole blogging thing thinking that no body even reads them anyway. I feel like I read everyone else's though..Does that make me nosey or just interested!! lol Well anyway's I also have this obsession with finishing something that I started and to me this is an unfinished project sooooo here I am...back in the blogging world! A little update, Cassidy not only got into the pre-k program but she got into the school that was my first choice and it's a five day a week program!!! YAY!!! Only a couple hours a day but still....And Caleb's final report card for 1st grade was soo good that it made me cry. I've never been so proud of him before, he worked really hard this last quarter on his reading and finally is at grade level. AND he improved 4 other grades!!! Keith and I are just dealing with the summer woes, more work means later hours:( We try to do something every weekend though so that we feel like we see eachother. A couple weekends ago we went to the city to meet a freind of mine from highschool there. It was great seeing her after 12 yrs!! And meeting her husband and walking around times square together!

Pictures

Here's a few more pics of the kids at the park on Memorial Day...

Memorial Day

It's been awhile since I wrote on here, I've been taking pics but I haven't been very good at the blogging part! We went to my dad's on Memorial Day this year for a BBQ. It was a beautiful day!! Then later that day we picked up our nephew Ethan. He lives in Florida and was here for a couple weeks and we wanted to surprise the kids. So we told them we had to leave Grandpa's to go get their surprise! They were sooo excited! We spent the whole next day at the park playing baseball, football, basketball and on a paddle boat and then we had a break and got some ice cream. It was a really nice Memorial Day for us...
