One week to go...

Ok, so I have been cleaning my house frantically in order to prepare for the arrive of our company next week. My mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, nephew and 2 nieces are coming out. My niece Kaitlyn has a gymnastics meet on Sunday the 8th of February here in Dallas, so they are making a family trip of it. What is special about this family get together is that Brien has no idea that his brother, nephew and one niece are coming also and they will arrive on his birthday which is next Friday. Also, Tyler and Hunter have absolutely NO IDEA that their moo-moo and pop-pop are coming into town nor their uncle and cousins. It has been killing me to keep this from Brien and I am counting down the days until next Wednesday when his parents arrive and then on Friday when everyone else arrives.

I am hoping that my parents are able to come out soon also. I haven't seen them since I went to get the kids from Florida back in August.

Other things going on, kids are great. Tyler is doing very good in school. He made the AB honor roll again. Hunter is learning his sight words and we are working on getting him to start reading more on his own but that is a slow processes. We had a lovely ice storm this past week. The kids missed 2 days of school and Brien got to stay home as well. I already had off from work so I didn't get the opportunity to miss work. I did take some pictures which I will post later once I download them from my camera.

Ok...back to work....LOL

Gator Nation!!!

Well, all I have to say is that "It's great to be a Florida Gator! I said it's great to be a Florida Gator!" Yes, last night the Florida Gators won the BCS National Championship game against Oklahoma. It was a great game and it could have gone either way. I do feel bad for those OU fans like my nephew Josh, my sister Marti, my brother-in-law James, my cousin Kimmie, and my friend Jillian. OU put up a good fight but Florida had more fight in them. So now Florida has won 3 National Championships total and the SEC conference has won its 3rd straight BCS title. Now I am hoping that Tim Tebow, the quarterback for Florida, returns next year for his senior year.
