March 2009

For the month of March it was interesting... my living room looked like a delivery dock and once I got it cleaned then the dinning room furniture went in, to clean that floor.

My cousins came in from Arizona, normally not this way in March but I think they had snow the entire time they were here... We met at the Eagles for breakfast and all the young ones were sitting together... picture time.

Picture the kids took of my mom, kind of dark but a good one...

Billy at Tae Kwon Do... he tested and moved up to a Green Belt. Very proud of his dedication. Once Billy moved to a Green Belt, Kayla joined... now they are both Green Belts and in the same class... much easier on Mom.

March 22nd, we figured we would take a break from the kitchen and enjoy some time with the kids and treat them (for being so patient with mom and dad thru the construction) and we went and played put put golf.

Who new that at the end of March we would get snow AGAIN. March 28th, we had some more snow. And the weekend before we were all in sweatshirts playing golf.

End of February

Billy was so excited that he learned how to make an arm pit fart that he wanted me to take pictures...

Father Daughter Dance... 2-7-09

Kayla asked dad to the father daughter dance again for the 2nd year. This year we went shopping for a shirt to match a skirt that we had... didn't find one, but we did find a nicely used dress, which led to purchasing a nice pair of shoes.

Kayla and Dad went to the dance and had a blast. Billy and Mom went to the chocolate festival and Billy actually said he had enough chocolate...

I have a picture of Kayla and Will at the dance, but my scanner is not working... will add later.

Late Night Movie... 1-3-09

Kayla and Billy were allowed to stay up and watch a movie after mom and dad went to bed... probable had about 20 to 30 minutes left. When mom and dad woke up the next morning, this is where we found the kids...

The Story: they finished the movie and both made it to there own bed. Billy couldn't sleep and so Kayla, being the big sister, allowed Billy to crawl into her bed. Ah, such a sweet sister. The reason he wasn't in mom and dad's bed... he was told that if he stayed up he could crawl into mom's side of the bed.

Kitchen Update

Well we are currently waiting for the check to come back from the mortgage company... it was suppose to take only 3 to 5 days for them to process but we mixed Christmas and New Years in there and they are also processing a lot of checks from people of the hurricane and fire losses. But in the meantime we are getting all the touches figured out. Cabinets, Floors, Counter tops, Floor plan and an antsy husband that has a hard time sitting and waiting. But while we are waiting for the cabinets were getting the floor torn up...all that hard work we put in to get the hard wood down 8 years ago...and Will figured we would not have to deal with it again...and it was easier to put down then to tear up. The reason for tearing up the hardwood floor is that we could not match it. In the process of tearing up the hardwood floor we came back to the original floor that we had covered up 8 years ago, ugly 1973 linoleum...


Here is a picture of the floor... that we covered up 8 years ago... and part of the floor that I loved... my hard wood floor.

Tae Kwon Do Picture

Tae Kwon Do brought in a photography company and Billy really wanted to have a picture done. So mom gave in...but the night of the pictures mom totally forgot and when I remembered we were 1/2 hour late... and no where near ready for the pictures...but got one anyways...

Snow AGAIN... 1-2-09

This morning we woke up to snow...about 4 inches...now for a place that hardly gets any snow and when we do, it disappears by noon because it warms up, we have been hit with more then I remember since the kids were born.
We would have been out in the snow earlier today, but some little girl had to have a tooth filled... and Grandpa Norm and Grandma Donna were up, so we went out to lunch with them. By the time we made it out side Will got home...so we all went outside to make a dragon - or should I say - WILL made the dragon...but he did have some help, not from the kids but from the dog...Pele. The making of the dragon got delayed a couple of times also...Billy was more interested in snowball fights and building his ammo of snow balls and hiding them under the tree then the dragon, but he did get a couple of good shots at Will.
