2010 Update Blur

I know it has been since August for an update, I really thought I would be better about this blog. Truly, my life is pretty boring, so I also thought it was boring to others to read. Anyway, here is my life recently:

We went camping for Halloween and the kids had a great time. Ashley was in the magic show and thought that was pretty cool.

My Granny had a heart attack and triple by-pass. Things were not going well and she was put on a ventilator, ultimately, she made a huge turnaround and will hopefully be released from rehab within the next week or so. Always make time for your family, you never know when you will see them last or when you may not get the chance to say just one more thing.

A co-worker from Sears has a 10 year old son, Ewing Wilson III that was recently diagnosed with leaukemia. Please pray for a speedy recovery!

Baby Sam has his stem-cell transplant tomorrow. He turned one on Thanksgiving Day (11/24).

Thursday

This week has been a little hectic as we had our server crash. I just about missed Ems birthday on Monday, for working with the IT person to try and atleast get the office up and running.

Em turned 8 on Monday and it is just hard to beleive how much she has grown. We have not planned her party yet. She starts 3rd grade this year. Tomorrow we are going to get school supplies so she will be ready next week.

Its been a while....

Sorry its been a while since I posted. We have been busy, as everyone else. Em's birthday is less than 2 weeks away and I have planned nothing! The girls also go back to school in about 3 weeks. We have been building a deck on the pool, I am hoping to have it done soon, Mark has worked really hard on it.

Back to reality! Vacation is OVER!

Well, we ended up making a weekend trip to the lake last an entire week! We had a great time with great friends. We went out on the boat almost everyday, we went to Amish stores, took the kids to the movies to see Toy Story 3. I have got to get back to my Boot Camp, because I eat WAY too much on vacation!

My neice, Lindsey, just has a few more weeks until her baby girl will be here. I am excited for them and praying she can find peace knowing everything will be just fine.

Well, I must get back to the grind!

July 4th Weekend

We are going to a friends house for the weekend. Should be some swimming, fishing and some good eatin'! I have not had a softdrink for a week now, and it will be tough getting through this weekend when they have ice cold cokes in the cooler!!! But if that stuff eats corrosion off a car battery, it truly can't be good for me, so that is what I keep telling myself! I got a week off from bootcamp, but I start back next week. I hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th of July weekend!

Weekend "Stuff"

Ashley and Emily got to spend a few days with Aunt Anna this past week, we got to go to Nolin and not worry about what are kids were doing, fixing them plates, making sure they had life jackets on the boat, etc. I know it sounds a little selfish and lots of people would love to have the opportunity to do all these things for the kiddos, so I hate to sound like it is a chore. I just mean it was nice to relax and watch everyone else chase their kiddos around!

I have this week left in bootcamp and then I am off for a week. I will tell you, I needed the class and I am glad I have done it, but I am looking forward to a week off.

Gosh, now I have been so negative, I need to atleast be pleasant to some degree.

We did get squash, bell peppers and jalapeno peppers out of the garden. We had a very enjoyable time at the lake. I will try to be more positive at my next post!!! ;8)

Boot Camp - AGAIN - GEEZ

Ok, to be honest, I did NOT want to get up for boot camp this morning. But, I decided I want to get healthy and that it would be worth it! I am sure it will pay off, because if what I am doing doesn't work at helping me become healthy, NOTHING will work!

I made my 1st batch of homemade laundry detergent last night, and then washed my sheets. So far, I like how it is working. Everything smells fresh and clean with no extra chemicals added for scent. I let Em help pour in the grated soap and the water and she thought it was really fun. Next time, I may let her help a little more, before ya know it, I will have her making it for me!!!!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Remember Friday is the Baby Sam Fish Fry at FBC Mt. Washington. Please consider coming if you can. There will also be a dessert auction and corn hole tournament.
