Life stuff....

~Tee Ball is about to wrap up. Just long enough to start getting tired of going twice a week. Girls had tee ball pictures which set me back a few bucks. Can't wait to get them tonight! Working on a project for the coach as a thank you gift. Scrappy of course.

~Maddie is going to start swim team....maybe. Swimming around these parts is different than home. There are not public pools all over town that you pay a couple of bucks to swim. Pools around here are members only pools where you own a membership. Let me break it down they way I understand it. $300 membership, almost $400 in dues each year and you have to pay to be on swim team $45 for the month of June only AND you have to buy a $42 swim team suit and a $25 practice swim suit. Since we have a pool we don't need to be a member of one, I did find the USA swim team in town that is just about $50 a month and they swim all year.

~Nathan wants to do karate? Just add it to the ever growing things we are doing.

~Alex got a new bible in church yesterday. It is amazing how things happen sometimes. Our kids have kid bibles but she is starting to read more and just yesterday on the way to church I said "we need to get you (Alex) a bible." Well, in Sunday school yesterday they gave her one because she said she didn't have one. I emailed her teacher and asked her who it was Alex should thank because the girl carried around her new bible all day yesterday. Her teacher said it was the other teachers idea. We need to make her a card.

The Lord knew and provide for Alexandra her desire of her heart is what her teacher said in an email. I love this woman! She is so zealous in her views of our God it is infectious. She is a mother of five grown boys ages 24 to 16 and she home schooled! Love her (did I already say that) I am so glad she has been placed in our lives! We just got an email card from the teacher that gave her the bible as I type this. I love the people at this church.

~Mark started a blog. Been There Built That. Check it out the link is in my list. He doesn't read mine but I am plugging his? Nathan's dresser.

~Mark and I are working on our bedroom this week and next. Our new furniture should be here soon so we need to get the painting done and I talked Mark into so closet upgrades. I wanted bifold doors on our closet which I think Mark was cursing this fact as he was tearing out working doors, sliders ~ uggg. He will be thankful when the bifold doors are done with a middle shelf up the center. I will do before and after pictures when it is all done.

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school.  I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family.  I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep.   Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken.  I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB!  Okay this is my only job on earth.  I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep.   I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30".  He was awake and heard her too.  We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep.  Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan.  He wanted to sneak out our ...

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......
