Dawn and Michael last night:



And a video. You can't actually see Dawn or Michael but they are both playing as it was a combined song with the 6th grade and 8th grade band. I was too far away and my digital camera won't focus in while on video mode.

Parker's first pinewood derby

Dawn's basket ball game

Dawn was on her Middle school's reserve basketball team this year. She did pretty well and by the end of the season she became a great defensive player. She is able to get in there and steal the ball from just about anyone!


Dawn is #8

Daddy passing on a tradition

So it has finally happened! One of our kids is learning "Chopping broccoli" Bob is thrilled to have a son who wants to sing it with him.

Sick kids!!!!!!

Well, I have sick kids!!! First Colin ran a high fever last week with a runny nose and cough and sore throat. He seemed to be getting better, no fever after Sunday night. Then Tuesday Clayton started running a fever and Dawn came home from school not feeling well. Off to the doctor yesterday with both Dawn and Clayton running 103 fevers(and Colin too since he still had a yucky nose). Well, Dawn and Clayton have strep throat and Colin has a staph infection in his nose. So I have to remember to give 3 kids antibiotics! Colin has to take his for 2 weeks.

16 years ago today!

Bob and I were married!! I can't believe it has been 16 years, and I love him more than ever!!! We have 5 beautiful kids and a wonderful life! I also gained a wonderful new family with Bob's family who have helped me through some of the toughest times in my life. I couldn't of asked for anything better!

First snow day of the year

Well we have our first snow day of the year. We got about an inch of sleet followed by an inch or two of snow. The kids are very unhappy about no school. Michael cried himself to sleep last night because he didn't want to miss his holiday party or band, not to mention the 6th grade versus the teachers in volleyball. Dawn was suppose to perform with her flute ensemble during 6th hour at the school administration building. Parker didn't want to miss his holiday party. Clayton was the only one not to disappointed about it.
I was suppose to have my work Christmas party tonight but am not sure that is still going to happen.
