Back to Writing Again

Well, it been almost a month since I stopped to write my thoughts and busy life down..
So much has happened really since the last posting here...Last night Josh won two trophies from the Pinewood Derby he was so happy it was more exciting than anything I have seen in a long time and mostly because he shared the month with his grandpa who was just as happy too..
What a moment in time...He got his wolf badge but the being the Fastest car was the best so far for him..Keri got an award for being second place in the sibling division was really exciting too.
we had a great time last night and having grandpa there made it more special...Keri has finished with her cookies and I think the total for her was 305 which was great for her first year so much happened since the last posting about her troop ..we have a new leader ( I wont waste the space telling all the details) we have a few more weeks of this year and then we will be done till next year and getting a new troop if she decides to stay with it..since the DW trip is not going to happen and not sure what else she will lose out on...
We are getting ready for spring break in another week and Easter has come to town too.
We are having a great time hanging out at the park and both have made alot of great friends including mom. plus walking has been good too..

My family is the best and my children are the great! Will post more since it seems I have more time since the man who was in it is not out...three weeks and counting since I have heard anything..so life goes on....

WOW! it's like my life got so busy I couldn't find time to write my thoughts and life in my own blog...Time slow down..well alot been happening here..Keri has sold so many cookies since my last writing...we are up to 242 boxes so she will be heading to the magic world of disney she is very excited about it..Josh has been busy with scouts too..they are getting ready for the biggest event in boy scouts (cub scouts I should say) the Pinewood Derby which is an exciting but hardworking event..we will need grandpa to assist us again this year..Keri is doing a car too..should be interesting..Work has been about the same...we went to our first sleepover..Josh went to my sister's and seemed to have had a great time..Keri was a little more interesting I would have to say..not saying too much in here about it..just that it was very different to say the least..anyway the important thing is she had some stuff ..if you asked her she might tell ya different...she has a busy weekend upcoming with two scout events..and are first for her again..She lost another tooth too...anyway life hasn't been that busy just time gets away and I seem to forget to write my daily doing about my wonderful family I have there..

Cold Weekend

Well it was sure a different weekend here in Ocala...yesterday morning we got up to a small snow storm Ha ha..the kids had a good time shoveling what little bit was on there swingset and around other things and we put it in the freezer and made a snowball..some different kind of weather we had...it was cold to put in mildly...we went out sunday to the store and played outside in the 42 degree cause they were going crazy in the house...yesterday we just played games and watched TV to keep them from being bored as they seem to get sometimes...
The week was good..back to school and Keri started selling GS cookies for the first time..which is always alot of hard work...she sold 41 boxes on her first day and we have a goal to try to sell one box each day of we can...Josh had a meeting but we didn't attend since no one could make up there mind if they wanted one or not so we will attend next week...anyway the week ahead seems to be a warming up one for us which will be good since they hate wearing shoes and coats..
guess they been in florida too long...it another wonderful week here....

oh yea today was my mom birthday...we thought about her and wished her a great bday and she is truly missed alot each day....have a great one mom....

New Year New Month

Well,, it already the third day of January in the new year of 2010.. It been pretty good I must say...My friend came down for a visit and we went bowling and pizza..so it wasn't too bad to say the least..I just still can't understand men...so I should just stop trying and go with the flow...
Anyway we didn't make it till midnight to welcome the new year..we tried...Josh made it till ten and he finally went to sleep Keri is lucky if she makes it till nine any time...which is good..
anyway we really enjoyed our winter break from school...We really had a great time with my brother and his family visiting from Missouri on new year eve...we all went to dinner at Sonny's and had a great time..the three boys played with their DS while waiting from dinner and the two youngest were playing a game on their parents Ipod..can't you see how different life has changed since I was young..Anyway things are pretty good here..the weather has been cool and today it was COLD..I dont think it got to 45...looks to be a cooler week..I dont think any of us are ready to return to work and school but I guess we haven't a choice..we just have to do it and move on.
as I have told myself for the upcoming year...I am just going to go with the flow and try not
to stress over the small stuff..cause it just happens..

well I am going to try to write more and I have started a new project I learned about on the internet called Project 365 where you take one picture each day for a year and write a short caption about it...so I think it will be alot of fun...I just have to remember to do it..

as for the upcoming week it will be busy ..going to back school and work..plus two meetings boy and girl scouts and keri starts the cookie drive on Friday..so we are cookie ready I hope I get all the details on Tuesday at what emily email called and busy but every exciting meetings for the girls and parents...

until then ....
