I Can't Believe It's Almost Christmas!

There has been so much going on!! I don't have time to write everything right now. I'm in the middle of wrapping gifts and making fudge for Christmas Eve! I just want to say how much I love my friends and family! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!

HUGS!!!

Back From Disneyland!

WOW! What a week! We left for Disneyland on Tuesday and didn't get back till Saturday at 1 am! On Wednesday Kalob took master classes at Disneyland! He said it was so much fun! They did a Marry Poppins dance! I was told that Kalob did really good! It rained that day so it was pretty much pointless trying to look good! HAHA! All of the dancers and their families went to ride Tower Of Terror! I felt so bad for some of the girs cause they were so scared! Oh my gosh that is such a fun ride! After lunch we met up with Kalob's dance teacher Kylee and her fantastic family! They took us all through California Adventure! We had never been there before! We had the best time with them! We went on Screamin! Kalob's very first upside down roller coaster! He loved it! I kicked butt on the new Toy Story ride! It's also a game and I beat Kalob and Steven's scores! HAHA! I think we went on the Grizzly ride 4 times! We got soaked! But it was so fun! I wish we could go to Disneyland with Kylee and her family all the time! We went back to the hotel pretty early because Kalob was performing at Disneyland the next day and we had to be there at 8:30! Thursday was the big day! Steven took Kalob to meet everyone while I finished getting ready. The bus to pick us up was late and I was afraid I was going to be late to Kalob's performance! But I made it! He performed in 2 dances. The first one was "I Do" a tap number and the second was a Hop Hop number! I am so excited for him and a I am amazed at what he has learned in such a short time! He only started learning tap in August! I am so grateful for his dance teacher Kylee. Things have been tough for our family and we haven't been able to pay all of tuition but she has been so understanding and caring! I would have hated to pull Kalob from dance and have him miss this opportunity! No other dance school would have done what she has done for us! After he performed we met everyone over at the Tea Cups and rode as a big dance family! It was so fun! Then Steven, Kalob and I went back to the hotel to rest and have lunch! We went back to Disneyland for a little while! Friday we went back to California Adventure and Disneyland! There were a ton of people but it was still fun! We stayed to watch the fireworks! It was nice to just sit and share ice cream and watch the show! Saturday we left for home! I tried so hard to stay awake! Kalob fell asleep pretty quick and Steven and I chatted most of the way! It was nice having that time with him! I had such a fabulous time at Disneyland and I'll never forget it! I can't wait to go back!

ALL MOVED IN!

Well, we are all moved into the new house! There were some bumps along the way but at least we are here now! We had everything ready to go when it was time to put it all in the truck! Eric was here for the weekend and my dad came and helped and a few guys from the ward. I am so happy my dad came cause without him it would have taken a lot longer! Steven did an amazing job getting all the boxes together! We started at 6am! We had the truck loaded by 8:30. Well we got to the new house around 9 and opened the garage. The people we are renting from did not clear all their stuff out yet! They said everything would be out before we got there! It was so frustrating!! We were going to load stuff to put in the attic in there so we didn't have to bring it into the house! Plus the garage wasn't swept so it was disgusting! I have a real phobia of bugs and there were a ton of dead ones that needed to be swept! That really set us behind! They finally got here to take there stuff. So the people from our new ward were helping us and them at the same time. Oh well! We had to make the best of it! I have had a lot of cleaning to do cause I am a total clean freak! So before we put anything in the cabinets I had to scrub them down! That night our new neighbors brought us pizza and salad! I was so surprised! I already love the people we live by!
When Steven took back the truck and picked up our car from mom and dads they had a beautiful basket of fruits and bread and a roast! I am so grateful to everyone that helped us! We still have some unpacking to do but the rooms are pretty much all set up, thanks to Steven! He has been amazing!

Now I am sick! 2 garage sales and a move in 3 weeks has really wore me down! I have no voice and my cough is awful! I have not left the house in days cause I don't want to get anyone else sick! I just hope I am better to see Kalob perform at Disneyland! I will be so sad if I am too sick to go! So I am resting a lot and drinking lots of fluids. I am hoping and praying that I get better quick and that Kalob doesn't get sick before hand!

2 Days Till Moving Day!

I am exhausted! I have paint all over my clothes and under my finger nails! HAHA! Yesterday we painted Kalob's new room! Kalob wanted black paint! We got a nice brown that goes with everything. Sorry Kalob! LOL! I had never painted before so it too ALL day long to finish! But I am so happy that it's done! We still have a lot of packing left to do. We are putting everything in the front room so when people come to help it's all right there! But I hate packing! It seems like we work for hours and it looks like we didn't do anything! We still have some furniture to sell. Like a couch, a recliner some china and a captains bed. I hope those sell pretty quick! If not Steven said we should just take it with us to sell over there! I hope it all fits in the truck! We will start moving Saturday morning at 6am! It's supposed to get to 102 outside! So we want to be finished early before it gets too hot! Steven and I are going to have breakfast together then finish packing! Hope everyone has a great day!

Shauna over at Book Giveaways is giving away some great books this week! I love her site and have even won a few great books! Click on the button below to check it out!

My House Is A Mess!

Ok just a quick post! I am going nuts with my house this messy! Getting ready for a garage sale, selling stuff on craigslist and moving has made my house MESSY! A little mess is fine, but this is crazy! I almost lost Kalob's music for dance in a box already! Not sure if I can handle my house like this for 3 more weeks! LOL!!

We Are Moving!

Yep we are moving! My hubby went to pay our rent and noticed a for sale sign in front of our landlords house. I thought that was kinda funny so Steven called. But we never heard back. So he kept calling. Finally we got a return call from our landlord. They are selling their house cause they can't afford it. So they need to move into the house that we are in! Ok, talk about stress! But my friend Charai called and told me that her friend was moving to Las Vegas and that they needed renters for their house! We went and checked it out. It is smaller then our house now but so cute! It has a garden in the backyard and lots of grass! It is painted really cute too! We decided after looking at other houses and lots of prayers that we would take that house. They even worked with us on the deposit! I am so excited actually! We will be in a better ward too! The ward we are in now is not very welcoming! My friend will be in the ward and Kalob will have friends there too! It is 20 minutes farther away from Kalob's school but we will take him anyway! It's his last year of elementary school and I want him to be with his friends! A lot of Kalob's dance friends live in the same community too! So I will be closer to my friends as well! YAY! We are losing a lot of space but gaining so much more emotionally! Now we are going through EVERYTHING! We are going to have 2 garage sales to get rid of stuff we don't need anymore! It feels good to go through papers and shred a lot of junk! So we will be very busy this month!

I will update when I get the chance! Hope everyone has a perfect September!

1 More Day and Eric's Off To College!

Look at my little guy! That was so very long ago! I can't believe tomorrow is the day! We take Eric to his dorm tomorrow! He has everything he needs thank goodness! His dorm is furnished! He has a brand new bed, mattress, and desk! I guess that's what happens when you are an honors student! He has a 2 room dorm that he shares with 3 other people. There is a bathroom that separates the 2 rooms. I thought we were going to have to get a Uhaul! But we don't! So he will have his stuff here when he visits, hopefully every weekend! I know, yeah right! He will only be 30 minutes away so I know we will see him often! He has plenty of food and school supplies! I am going to miss him so much! I cry just thinking about it! He was smart and only has classes Monday through Thursday! The little stinker has a 3 day weekend every week! But that means he can come home a day early! HEHEHEHE!

Eric, I just want you to know how very proud I am of you! You have worked so hard over the last several years to get where you are now! I know what ever your dreams are they will come true! Remember to call us when you need anything! We will be there in a heartbeat! Be good and work hard! Know that I love you with all my heart!
XOXOXO!!!

School, Dance and Disneyland!

School has started for Kalob! He is now a 6th grader! His last year in elementary school! We had a few situations with bullies already! But it seems like his teacher this year will not put up with any of that crap! I really hope he has a better year than last year when it comes to bullies! One of them already tried to smash the foot that had the broken ankle! He has had his boot off for about a month and for some little brat to do that really pisses me off! If he had done something bad to Kalob's foot boy would he be in a world of trouble and so would his parents!

Dance starts this week! Kalob is real excited! I am too! We bought him jazz and tap shoes this weekend for his new classes. He tried on a lot of shoes! But when he put on the tap shoes that fit it was funny how they just seemed to work for him. I know he is nervous about taking new classes cause he's all hip hop but I think it will be good for him to take these too. He wants to teach and be in shows when he is older so he wants to know more types of dance then hip hop.

Disneyland here we come! Kalob is performing at Disneyland! We are so excited about it! He will either perform at California Adventure or Disneyland! Then he gets to learn from Disney choreographers and perform for them! They tell the kids what they need to work on to work for Disney later! They also get a DVD of the performance as well! This is a once in a lifetime experience! Thanks to Kylee and all her hard work this is possible for him! I can't even believe it! So the next few months are going to be very busy for us while he prepares for this! Then we get to go to Disneyland for three days! I can't wait! Disneyland is my favorite and I've never been to California Adventure so that will be fun too! Plus seeing Kalob in a Disney stage makes it 1000 times more fun!

Eric starts college this month. But I am not ready to write about that just yet cause I know I'll cry. So I will post more later! Hope everyone has a great week!

FBLA!

My Eric has been gone for a whole week! He was in California for the FBLA National competition! FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America! He won 1st place in the state competition here which of course qualified him to go to NATIONALS! I am so proud of him! He got to go to Disneyland for 2 days, Catalina, and Medieval Times! He even got to see the new Transformer movie! I am so jealous! LOL! He won 7th in the Nation for Global Business! We got to watch the awards ceremony last night live on the internet! It was so cool seeing him win the award! We picked him up from the airport today! I can't believe what a wonderful young man he has become!
He didn't even spend all the money we gave him! LOL!! Which is a big accomplishment! One of the girls in his group spent all the money her parents gave her the first 2 days and they had to wire her money! He even brought home souvenirs for everyone! I love mine! He got me Tinkerbell notebooks and a really cute magnet notebook for the fridge! The trophy he brought home is amazing!
Congratulations Eric! We love you!

Eric's Graduation!

I can't believe Eric has graduated high school! I am so proud of him!
We got to the arena at 12:00pm but we weren't allowed in till 1:00pm. It was pretty hot out there but at least we were one of the first ones so that we got great seats! We needed to save a whole row of seats, so Steven ran ahead of us to save them. Security had to check purses and Kalob still has his boot on for his broken ankle so we were going slow. The security people told us that we could only save seats till 1:50pm! People were waiting for our seats! But everyone got there on time! Phew! I was nervous about that! I was afraid we weren't going to be sitting by our family! But it all worked out! Then graduation started! Eric stood out from most of the class because of all the honors he has received! He had medals, a NHS stole, and a gold rope as well. There were over 700 kids in his class! I didn't realize there were that many kids! But the school was smart and had 2 lines going at the same time! It was so emotional for me! My first baby to graduate! I can't believe I am now a mom of a college student! After graduation we took a lot of pics of Eric with friends and family! It was pretty hot outside but I didn't even care! We then went to Chili's! My sister Chelsea works there! So we all got yummy food and celebrated with Eric! We stayed and hung out for quite a while! It was then time to get Eric home so he could get ready to go to parties! He had a lot to go too! He even had some on Sunday! It was such a wonderful day! I am in awe of Eric and all he has accomplished in only 17 years! I can not wait to see what he does next!

Kalob's Recital!

I can't believe it's over! Kalob had his recital this past Saturday! It was amazing! The show times were 12:00pm, 3:00pm and 7:00pm! It was called The Greatest Show On Earth! So of course it was circus themed! The stage was amazing! I helped put some of it together! I am so happy that I did cause I really felt a part of the group! I love everyone there! We had so much fun! I didn't even care that I got all sweaty in front of everyone! LOL!

Kalob went to rehearsal Friday night and then again Saturday morning for the opening number! It was to Britney Spears "Circus." It was fantastic! I still can't believe all Kalob can do on his broken foot! He amazes me! He didn't complain once all day! And let me say it was all day! He got there at 10:15 am and we didn't leave till after 9:00pm!

Kalob's Nana came to the first show! We were so happy she came! Then Kalob's friend Brooke came to the second show! Oh my gosh he was so excited! He was in a total of 9 dances all day. I think that is awesome for his first recital and a having broken foot! Steven was in charge of getting all the pizzas for everyone! I was shocked when he volunteered to do that! LOL! What a great dad he is! He even took Kalob to rehearsal that morning so I could have extra time for me! But, not really cause all morning we were making sure we had everything Kalob needed! He had costumes, snacks, water bottles, props, etc! At least we didn't have to worry about makeup like the girls do! LOL! So really, I only had an hour to get ready after Steven left to take Kalob! LOL!

I stayed back stage a lot because Kalob had only a few songs in between some performances and with his boot it is hard to change quickly. So after I helped him I ran to the audience to see him perform then run back to help him again! It was fun! I had never done this before! LOL! But I wouldn't have changed a thing cause the experience was wonderful! I loved every dance! All the teachers have a amazing talent! I was so happy that they still wanted Kalob to perform even with his broken foot! I can tell they all care a lot about him!

After the first show we all had pizza and hung out! It was cool that Eric was there too! I was so happy that he took the whole day to be with us! He had so much homework to work on but came anyway! I really hope he had fun too! I don't think Eric realized how great the recital was going to be! After the 2nd show we went home for a little bit cause we wanted a snack and I wanted to change. I was all sweaty! LOL!

For the 3rd show Kalob said he could handle changing himself because there were 12 performances between his. So, I got to sit with Steven and Eric and enjoy the show! It was so awesome! Everyone who performed did so terrific! I am so proud of every single one them! All the them put their hearts into every step! After the last show we stuck around for a little while to chat! I was sad when Page came up and was crying cause she wasn't going to come back next year cause she is going to be cheering at school! I didn't realize how sad I was going to be! I really have come to know so many people people at the studio! Kalob was sad too! I don't know what I am going to do over the summer now because Kalob won't have classes till August! But hopefully we will get together and have swim parties or girls night with the moms!

What a wonderful experience this has been for Kalob! Some good and some bad! But we wouldn't change a thing! Well, maybe the broken foot! LOL! We already miss you all!!

HUGS!!

Busy Week!

This week has already been so busy! It's only Tuesday! LOL! Kalob had his last pool party yesterday. I feel bad for him cause he can only put his left foot in. But, his boot got wet so I let him put his right foot in the water for a little while. I was hoping that the boot would dry! It was pretty wet! He has tonight and tomorrow night to practice for Saturdays recital and Friday is dress rehearsal time! We are so excited to see him on stage! He is in 9 different dances! He's even in the opening number for all 3 shows! I love the opening number! It's to Britney Spears song "Circus." All the kids in company are in it! I am a little sad cause Kalob won't have dance for a few months. But his ankle needs to heal and he might need physical therapy to get back the strength in it.

Today I mailed out Eric's graduation announcements! WOO HOO!! I am so excited for him! He has worked so hard for this! He picked up his cap and gown yesterday! His last AP exam is on Thursday. He had 5 this year! Eric will have 33 credits going into college! So hopefully he will start as a second semester sophomore! That would be fantastic! We see his advisor the end of this month. I can't believe my baby is going to college in the fall! That is insane! So this week we need to send over all the information that the school still needs so he can get his classes set up! He was supposed to go to orientation but I've talked to friends and they say it is pointless to go. They have the kids away from the parents to pick out the classes! And you have people telling you what to take even if they are not in your major! That doesn't make any sense! They have no idea what AP tests you have taken or will take so you could end up paying for a class that you already have the credits for! Plus, the orientation itself costs $150.00 for the student and $75.00 for a guest! That is a rip off! So we called and got the run around but finally made an appointment with his advisor! Thank goodness! Why pay when you have to see your advisor any way?

We may have a lot of running around to do this week and the rest of this month, but I love being a mom! I hope all of you have a great week! Post a comment and let me know how you all are doing!

HUGS!!

Kalob's Broken Foot!

Well, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that Kalob's growth plate in his ankle is almost healed. The bad news is his foot is broken in a second spot! It's on the side of his right foot. So he is still in his boot! He is trying so hard to do every dance move for the recital! He is actually doing so good! I am so proud of him! He is so dedicated! I worry about him doing too much though! But he keeps telling me it doesn't hurt. We soak his foot every night in ice water for 4 minutes. That helps a lot! Next weekend is his recital! I am so excited but sad too because he won't have dance for a few months. :( His dance studio is awesome and the teachers and staff are fantastic! I have even made friends there so it's fun for me too! Keep your fingers crossed that Kalob can make it through this next week and be able to dance in the recital without injuring his foot more! Have a great weekend everyone! I'll let you know how it all goes next week!

HUGS!

Broken Bones and A Great Play!

WOW! What a day yesterday! I am surprised I am still sane at this moment! Yesterday morning I was cleaning the house and Steven was getting ready for work! We had just had a quick breakfast together and I was thinking it was going to be a great day! WRONG! We got a phone call from Kalob's school. Actually, it was from the nurse at the school! She said Kalob was injured and we needed to take him to urgent care! WHAT! With no makeup on and no shower I get into the car with Steven and we race to the school! Kalob is wheeled out in a wheel chair! His right foot is totally swollen! We race him to urgent care and Steven is cancelling his appointments for the day. They x-rayed Kalob and told us they think he has a broken ankle but they are not sure. OK, you are not sure. That was a waste of time! We then called an orthopedic specialist hoping to get in to see them but not expecting to! Well, they could see him that afternoon! WOO HOO! Some good news! So we go and they tell us that Kalob broke the growth bone in his right ankle! He is devastated! They said that they are not sure if he can dance in the recital coming up! OH MY GOSH! He has worked so hard for that! Poor little guy! I was crying, he was crying! He goes back in 2 weeks to see how it is healing. They will tell us then if he is able to perform. They said that they have a special brace that he could wear if he is healing properly. So I guess we will see! He is in a boot that is so high tech! It can have air put in or taken out to his comfort! But it is really heavy and very hard to walk in. They also gave him some meds to help him. We had to pick up Eric soon so that he could come home and eat before he had to get ready for his play. So we drop off the RX and then run to get Wendy's for dinner. Steven ran to get the RX and on the way back a car backed out and hit him! AAAAHHHHH! Come on! This day was already bad enough! He is alright. No damage to him at all. People need to watch what they are backing into! So we rush to get Eric and eat dinner! I was finally able to shower! Which I really needed! We make it to Eric's play which was wonderful! I am stunned by how well he did! For never being in drama he was fantastic! People came up to us and were floored when they found out this was his first play! They thought he had been performing for years! It was weird seeing him kiss a girl on stage though! LOL! The play was hilarious! We really needed to laugh! I can't wait to go back next week and see it again and again! I am so proud of Eric! When he puts his mind to do something he does it and does it well!

Kalob is having a rough day today! The pain is horrible! The doctor had to call in another RX to help with the pain and we had to soak his foot in a bucket of ice water! That was unpleasant! :( Hearing him cry is the worst sound in the world! I wish so badly that I can take the pain from him!

BULLIES!!!

Yes, I know it has been a while since I blogged. Sorry about that!
Right now I need to vent! I have no voice right now so I can't talk to anyone! My youngest son is being bullied A LOT! I am sick and tired of it! He gets bullied cause he's short, he dances hip hop, he has blonde hair, you name it he gets picked on for it! Today he was hit in the face! Walking to the car after school a kid hit him in the face! This kids friend last week threw rocks at him and pushed him into a gate because my son enjoys hip hop! Kalob has learned to ignore the name calling about his size. Yes, I know it still bothers him to hear all the names about being short! But to physically harm my child is something completley different! I will not put up with it! Then last Friday Kalob missed school on the same day the girl he likes missed school. Kalob was sick and spent the whole day with me! There were rumors spread around the school that Kalob got a hotel room to be with the girl he liked! What the heck! They are in 5th grade! Kalob is asking to get surgery to make him taller cause he thinks he won't get bullied as much! He was totally crying today cause he doesn't understand why this keeps happening to him! I have talked to his teacher A LOT! She says she talks to the kids and that the Dean of students came in to talk to the class. Well, it's not working! If someone came up to me threw rocks or hit me in the face they could be arrested! But nothing happens to little brats whose parents don't know how to teach them right from wrong!
My son is being harrassed almost daily! You see all the time that kids commit suicide because of this! Telling kids to just stop and that it is wrong to bully is not enough! They need to be suspended and if it continues expelled! Then if they keep doing it at other schools maybe a visit from the police would help! Has anyone had any problems like this? If so what did you do? HELP!!

Wow! It's been a while!

I can't believe it's been a month since I posted! It has sure been busy here! Well, I don't have the kidney stone anymore! YEA! That was such a pain! Literally! Kalob has been busy with hip hop and he has a competition coming up in April! Then he has a recital in May! We are so excited for him! Eric has his play coming up in April! He has been practicing so much! It will be so awesome to see him on stage! Then in May he is graduating! So we have been busy with trying to get everything that he needs. I have started going to the gym! I am loving it! It is a little time to myself! Plus I am losing weight at the same time! One of the owner's of Kalob's dance studio told me about the gym she goes to and now I go too! Thanks Kim! This week I got up to 5 miles in an hour! I was pretty proud of myself! For not working out in a while I think that is pretty good! LOL! I also try to go walking with the kids a couple times a week! We are now up to 2 1/2 miles! Eric comes too which is great! It is nice to spend time with the kids because they are always so busy! Steven's mom, sister and her daughter are coming out the weekend of April 4th. That is the same weekend of Kalob's competition. So, I am a little stressed about it! That is next weekend! I wish that they had come out during our spring break cause then we would have more time to spend together. But the kids are in school and have dance and play practice and Steven has work. I am hoping to see them while they are here. I have to squeeze spring cleaning in there somewhere! LOL! There is more going on but I only had a few minutes to catch everyone up! Hope everyone is great! I will write more when I have more time! Enjoy the weekend!!

HUGS!!

My Birthday and other stuff!

Well, my b-day was last Thursday and it was good and bad. I have 2 kidney stones! One on each side! The right one is giving me the hardest time! So I was in a lot of pain that day. But I got a new puppy! He name is Max and he is a toy Australian Sheppard. He is 3 months old and only 5 pounds and he is so loving! Then Valentines Day was just 2 days later. That was a good day! I got Steven a photo story book from Shutterfly. It was really cute and Steven loved it! He had no idea you could make something like that! He made steaks on the BBQ grill. YUMMY! That morning though was kinda rough. Steven was working on the front yard and this lady with her dog was across the street on the grass area. She had a really big dog and the dog pooped and she didn't pick it up! My kids are always stepping in poop cause no one picks it up! I mean how hard is it to bring a bag in your pocket and pick it up?! So I said, "can you please pick up the dog poop?" And she ignored me and walked away! So I thought whatever! Then she came back 5 minutes later and started yelling at me! She said "I was going to pick it up, I just forgot a bag!" Then I said "why didn't you say that I would have said ok thanks, sorry about that!" Then she started cussing at me calling me "F" this and "F" that! I was in shock plus there were little kids outside! She was calling me idiot too! I just stood there! I didn't want to argue with the lady but come on! I knew she wasn't going to pick up the poop she only did cause I said something! So I went in the house and cried a little. I just didn't want my kids to step in dog poop! If you have a dog take care of it! That was my excitement for the weekend! LOL! I went to get an x-ray today to see where the kidney stone is now and I have an appt. on Thursday to see what to do about it. I will keep you posted on what is happening!! Have a great rest of the week!!

HUGS!!

10 on Tuesday!

Great Coupon Sites!

I have found some great coupon sites! This first one is my favorite!
It's called Savings Mania! The other one I like is WOW-Coupons They both have really great retail coupons! I like the Bath and Body Works and Target coupons! They even have restaurant coupons! Of course they have grocery coupons too which we always use! I thought I would post the information because everyone could use some coupons!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

HUGS!!

Manic Monday!

What gives you hope?

Both my boys give me hope!
They have so many hopes and dreams!
I know that whatever they want to do they will do it!

How often do you get your haircut?

Well, I get my bangs cut about every 4 weeks. But an actual haircut I get about every 2 or 3 months.

Describe your worst haircut.

My worst haircut was when I was in my early 20's. I went to a new salon cause I had a coupon! LOL! I told the lady that I just wanted a trim and she grabbed my hair in a ponytail and just started cutting! I was in shock! My hair was all different lengths! And I don't mean the layered look either! It was awful! It took forever to get it to how I like it!

What's your most treasured piece of jewelry?

My most treasured piece of jewelry is my wedding ring!

Why?

It is because my husband gave it to me of course!
He picked out the diamond himself! I never take it off!

Manic Monday

Ok, every monday they post a few questions and you answer them! That's it! To start up with Manic Monday click the link below! Here is my first Manic Manday!

What do you do to make yourself feel better when you are sick?

I like to lay on the couch with my favorite blanket and watch funny shows like That 70's Show, Friends, and The Office.

What is the most amazing weather you've ever seen?

I have seen an amazing lightning storm! I was up in the mountains in Utah while rounding up cattle to bring down the mountain. We turned all the lights off in the cabin and it was like fireworks in the sky!

Do you listen to music or talk radio in the car?

I mostly listen to the radio! I LOVE music! Every type of music too! There are times I listen to talk radio but it is rare!

1. Enough with the arguing!!!!!!!!

2. All the stuff I have to do causes me to be conflicted.

3. I've been craving a good salad from AJ's.

4. My son Kalob makes me laugh.

5. I wish I could go to the mountains and relaxnext week.

6. All of our many bills has been on my mind lately.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to getting a new book to read, tomorrow my plans include getting Kalob's costume for his competition and taking him to a b-day party and Sunday, I want to go to church then relax and spend time with my family!

This is crazy!!

Ok, I am shaking right now! My son has an appointment with the Navy! They have been calling because Eric took a test and scored 98%! They said the highest is a 99%.
The man we talked to only got a 68% on his test! Well, they want Eric for technical stuff not combat! Which is a relief but I am still very stressed about it. They are offering a lot of money and schooling! I am not sure what to think about this! He is only 16 years old for crying out loud!!! I know he can not sign anything till he is 17 but this is something I thought would never ever happen! Not in a MILLION years! I thought he would go to a university and get the job he wants! Little did I know that if he joins the Navy it could help in his career!

Thoughts anyone???
