Happy Holiday's

I hope that everyone had a safe christmas. The kid go up around 4:00am. they came to our room every 20 min to see if we were getting up. We decided to stay in bed as long as we could before getting up. But my plan did not work because june called at 6:45am our time 8:45am her time. While I talked to her the kids kept trying to get down the stairs to see if santa had come or not. To keep them from coming down I sat at the bottom of the stairs just to be mean for getting us up too early. Then they had to wait for dad to smell coffee and then get Max up. So they did not get to open any thing until almost 7:300am.

All of us at the Snow!

As soon as the kids got out of school on friday we took them all up to the snow to check it out. They had a lot of fun.

SNOW!

Mark and I went up the hill to see the snow today. We did not have to go far. About 20 miles or so. The kids are going to be upset when they find out we went with out them.

Snow on the coast!

Yes we had snow off and on today. Of corse it did not stick because of all the rain. I loved it. We are going to have more tomorrow. YAH !!!!! I hope that i can get some pictures. If i do i'll post them. I still need to get the pictures for the parade the other night. I'll try to get them up in the next day or two.

Christmas Stuff

Here is another picture of the kids in front of our tree.

Here are a few pictures of my house and the rest of us. It took max and i most of the day to get the lights up. But i think its time well spent. The people acroos the street started putting their's up the next day after we did. And soon after the next street had some up to. I love this time of year. I love all the lights and good cheer. I have been busy getting stuff wrapped and xmas cards sent out today. I hope i can get the rest of my shopping done in the next week so that i dont have to worry about it any more. That way i can sit back and enjoy.

Well i have just got my christmas stuff. I'm hoping i can get the guy's to start putting up my lights today but i think they would rather do something else. Max ordered a xmas tree from his work again this year for only $15.00. Better than paying $50.00 or more.

TUNA

Well we made it through another Thanksgiving. As all ways I did most of the work while everyone else got to relax. Maybe I'll get to stay home for xmas and will only have to clean up my mess. I can only hope. I got a call today from my friend Kathy telling me the rest of my tuna was in. So on Sunday Mark and I will canning. We have already canned 160lbs. We only have to do 100lbs this time.

Well it has been a long week already. I have cleaned both the bath rooms from top to bottom. Cleaned out all my clothes that were to big for me now and got rid of them. 4 bag's. Got all of my xmas cards done and pictures put in them. The kids room and big walk in closet cleaned out. That was a big jog. I even found all their socks that have been missing in action sence they came home from Montana. Rex fell on Saturday and scraped the his right leg up pretty bad. Lindsey is doing a little better. Took the kid skating on Sunday and Lindsey's friend Brianna fell and broke her arm in two places. JOY!! Mark had blood work and a UA and a chest xray done today and is now taking Septra for 10 days. I personally do not have time to get sick. Ha Ha Ha Ha! I dont know what they would do if I was to get sick. Max is the other one who seems to not have time to get sick eather. But he did take a spill on his motorcycle and hurt his arm and back a little. You would think that my family was falling apart.HaHaHa lol.

Just one of the many projects i am doing with the kids at the school for xmas.

Lindsey getting her award at school .

This is the first project i did with the kids at the school.

Two sick ones of my own

We the rain has stopped for now. We had two very nice days over the weekend. Our temps were at about 78 or so on the proch. I painted 79 pinecones green. FUN!! Both Mark and Lindsey have been sick. Mark with a low grade temp and a headace with dizziness. Same thing with lindsey. The rest of us seem to be fine for now. Lindsey goes back to the doctor on friday to have her lungs checked to see if we need to go for xrays one more time. JOY! I have parent teacher conference this week for Rex and Lindsey. Should be fun. Lindsey is getting a award on friday for something. I will take pictures and post them on friday after i get home. Thats if no one is on the cumputer at the time. I dont get much time on it.

RAIN!!!

We have had a lot of rain the last couple of days. And we are going to get more. So i guess that i will be getting my project together for the seniors at Slilvercrest for christmas. Myself and another mother started doing this last year when our girls were in 4th grade. So it nice that there teacher this year wanted to also do it with the 4th grade teacher again. It is so much fun to see how creative some of the kids are.

We all went to the rock show today and had a lot of fun. We always find something new that we want. The kids like going and playing the games to get rocks that have been polished.

I think i might know how to do this now.
I am going to look for more pictures to post
later . Things are good here. We are getting a
lot of rain right now.

Just getting started

I am new at this blog thing so you will have to be patient with me. I'll try to put some pictures as i learn how things work. ok
