Just an update...

Just a little update for everyone since it has been awhile since I last posted. Nothing much really going on except for school and the start of painting our house. Brien will be getting his steel building supplies for his workshop...so it is "barn raising" time. LOL. His parents will be arriving on Tuesday, April 1st and we are very excited to see them. I know my parents are planning on coming out in May for my graduation which the kids are looking forward to also.
That's about it for now. I'll update again soon.

It Snowed!!!

Well, it is true. It snowed yesterday. It was awesome! I am such a happy camper. I know that my sister, Marti, blames me for this snow since I was complaining about missing the snow for the season. We got about 4 inches of snow and it was good packing snow excellent for snowballs and snowmen. I wasn't quite sure how the dogs were going to react to see this much snow out there but they seemed to have enjoyed it.
Of course, the kids had fun as well. I haven't seen Tyler having soo much fun like he was yesterday making snowballs and throwing them not only at Brien but Hunter as well.

As for me, I loved every moment of it. I couldn't wait to leave school yesterday, get the kids and get home to enjoy the snow falling. Here is what our house looked like yesterday with the snow falling.
Brien had fun shoveling the edges of our driveway last night...not really. LOL. He had me lay down in the snow and make a snow angel. I also made a small snowman but it was bigger than last year's snowman. Overall, it was a great day.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. If you click on them, they take up the whole computer screen.

Snow Again??

Well, two days later they are predicting us to get up to 1 to 2 inches or so of snow this afternoon into this evening. YEAH!! It will be nice although it is very strange for me to grab the concept that it will be snowing in March.

Hope everyone enjoys their day...I will after my test and I get the chance to watch the snow fall.

March...

Well, today is March 3rd and it is your typical Monday. Oh, except that it has been raining hard which made it difficult to sleep keeping me up all night. It also caused our power to go out sometime between 3:30am and 6:15am when the girls finally got me up along with Hunter who came in and said someone forgot to turn on his light, meaning his night light. Power finally came back on around 6:30am or so. Getting up late put us leaving late, getting Tyler to school on time, barely and then Hunter to school and me late to work. Oh well. The weather is saying that the rain will be turning over to snow this afternoon and also this evening. So maybe, just maybe I will get to see snow this season. I was beginning to think I missed the snow for the season since we were in Altamonte Springs for Thanksgiving. Marti is saying it will be my fault for the snow since I was complaining. LOL.

Brien is starting to think that there ought to be a Rock Band Anonymous group for us addicts, meaning Marti and I. LOL. We play every weekend and I must say we are getting better all the time. She plays bass guitar while I play on the drums. Some songs are easy while others prove most challenging. This past Friday night while we were over, Marti and I played for a couple of hours while the guys played pool. We were playing songs mostly on medium level. By the end of the night I just had to try my luck on the hard level. So, I tried Metallica's "Enter Sandman" and even though I came close to failing somehow I managed to survive the entire song scoring 86%. Then we all thought it would be funny if I tried expert on the same song. Once again, I survived the entire song even though I came close to failing several times. I scored an 86% again. I was very proud of myself. Then Saturday, while the guys were working on pulling out the truck engine on James' truck, Marti and I played again. I tried that same song on hard level and this time scored 90%. Rock Band makes for a great stress relief.

The kids are doing great and are looking forward to Moo-Moo and Pop-Pop coming out in a month. They will be here late Tuesday, April 1st through early Sunday, April 6th. We are looking forward to their visit. I think my parents are still planning on coming out the first part of May especially since I will be graduating and I do plan on walking. I have worked very hard for this and I want to enjoy it.

That's it for now.
