First Snow

I called Mike Monday October 27th to say it was snowing.
He took a couple pictures to show me that it was hail.

I still say it counts as the first snow of the year.

The END!!

Softball every Sunday is the only time I can look forward to seeing my friends all together with there spouses. We get together other times, but I know every Sunday it's a sure thing.
Now the season has come to an end.

We did not play our best on the field, but we looked good.

I can't wait for the next season!!

Kristine's Wedding

The day starts with Tiffany being sick. We decide that she should see a doctor and it was early in the day so we were sure there would be time to get to the wedding on time. Oh wait, I forgot to say it is Taylor's last homecoming, and he would be leaving for that at 2:30. So we also needed to pick up his flowers, get him some money and so on.

Can anyone tell that my day is not starting off on the right foot?
Tiffany and I got home at 1:10. On the way home I picked up the flowers and Mike and Taylor went to get his money.
The wedding is in Munger at 2:00, I'm not dressed, no makeup and my hair is not done either. We did some fast running around and yell at each other to make sure we had everything we needed and that Taylor had everything he needed. It's now 1:40 and we were off. As we are pulling out of the driveway Mike and I both realize we have no idea where we are going. We call Amy and she is no help as she does not know either. We give Dawn a jingle and she gave us great directions and we made it to the wedding in time to say hello to everyone and the wedding began.
The wedding was beautiful!
During the wedding Taylor sends us a text message saying "What arm does the corsage go on left or right?"
I lean to Dawn and ask "What arm does the corsage go on left or right?"
She says "I'm not sure."
I lean forward and ask Sue
"What arm does the corsage go on left or right?"
After a moment of looking at her own arms she says "Left"
Mike sends a text back to Taylor tell him which arm.
Moments later we all have our arms up blessing the marriage, when Dawn notices a corsage on a ladies arm and says "LEFT!".
A couple minutes later Mike receives another text message from Taylor asking " Does my
boutonnière go on my coat or on my shirt?"
Mike responds his coat and all should be well.
During all of this we have bee's buzzing around our heads, cell phones buzzing in our pockets, and a wedding taking place.


I'm going to let the pictures tell the rest of the day. (I'm getting stressed just retelling it!)

EXPO

It was a hard day at work. Gabbie and I are attending an expo in Caro. I'm mostly emailing Julie, and Gabbie is working hard to attract new students.
We are having a lot of fun. Gabbie talked me into getting my cholesterol checked, which means I had to get a poke. OUCH!

This was a great opportunity for us to get our name out. It is surprising how many people that are so close and don't even know about our school.

I hope everyone else had a fun day at work.

Summer has passed




We had such a great summer. It went by so fast. My internet has not been working so I have had all kinds of things piling up in my poor little head. I thought I would just add a slide show of summers greatest moments.

I'M BACK!)

I'm still here!!

Hello everyone. It seem like it has been forever since I have been on the blogs. We are having trouble with the wireless part of our modem, so the computers up stairs are the only ones that are on-line. (I don't go into the man cave!)

Things have been going well. The children have both made it to mid-marking period with good grades. I think this will be the last year I have to worry about that. Tiffany does so well and is upset when she is not doing well. (So with her I'm all set.) As for Taylor, it is a struggle for him to turn in a paper that they do in class, and then he does not care about his grades at all. Just passing is ok with him.

Softball is going good as well, we have a great group of friends playing. We have so much fun, just being together, which makes it fun win or lose.

My three kids are back at another season of hockey.
Taylor's team is doing ok. At this age its more about individuals rather then team, so it makes it hard on the goalies.
Steven's team is scary to watch. Steven has such a nice face and no face mask when he plays. I get so nervous when the sticks, pucks and fists are flying around.
Tiffany's team looks good, it will not be the same as last year, but it will be fun. We have the same wonderful coach this year and Taylor is still helping coach. It is so nice to see two of my children working so hard together. Her first game is not until Saturday so we will see how it goes.

Steven has got a new addition to is family, I'm a grandmother of a cute little black lab. It is a female and her name is Jayda. I try to doggy sit after work everyday, so she is not in a cage all day. My dogs also like to have a little one around. So now, none of my children need to have children!)

I will try to do a better catch up blog with some pictures, when I get brave enough to go up into the man cave.

Hope all is going well.
