Her Glasses!

Happy Birthday to my first born!

17 years ago. I remember the day of his birth so vividly, it seems impossible that it was so long ago. Happy Birthday J! I love you!

How can it be?

It seems like the week has barely started but yet it's late on Friday night. Interesting today at lunch there was a Mom with 3 children, the Mom commented that she couldn't wait for this week to be over. My first thought was how sad. My second thought was teachers and staff don't want it to end! Really the Mom has to deal with the little darlings 3 weeks during the school year some other odds and ends days, weekends and summer break, teachers get to deal with them the rest of the time. Today R and a friend and I went to see The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It was cute. Had lunch then picked S up to go to Great Skate. S was meting a few friends there. Although R doesn't really skate she really wanted to go, it was touch in go to see if we were going to stay. She made it and had a good time.

Glasses and Movies

Took R to the eye doctor this morning. She finally needs glasses. She is very excited about that fact. Right now for school and the computer. Took the girls to see Dear John this afternoon. Not much like the book at all, I was disappointed in it, the girls sat through the whole movie but it's not one they'll want to watch again. Hopefully on Wednesday we'll all be able to see Alice in Wonderland. Tomorrow's Spring Break adventure is Chuck E Cheese, even though the kids are getting older they want to go play :)

where I've been the last few days

Just a few shots of the pictures of the beautiful Young Life's Lost Canyon retreat camp in Williams.

Nervous and Excited

The week went by fast, thank goodness. But golly it's already Friday and I'm leaving in an hour for the retreat. The newspaper said the high was supposed to be 50. It rained yesterday, so I doubt any of the snow from last weekend is still hanging around. I think I could deal with the cold if surrounding area was pretty. I think there's going to be mud! I have not left any directions for my husband and children. I did go over things with all of them. How disappointed do you think am I going to be on Sunday when I get home? I feel totally out of my comfort zone both the retreat and not leaving lists.

Better Week

Thank goodness! I don't think I could handle stress like the stress from the week before 2 weeks in a row. J went to his first Military Ball last night. His freshman year he didn't want to go, and last year he had a fever, so he missed it. He said he had a good time. I'll have to get him to tell me more about it when he's not so tired. He got home about midnight last night and was up by 6:30 showering to go to a Boy Scout meeting this morning. He is currently resting/napping in front of the TV, hopefully later I'll get to hear about the Ball. The girls and I went to bingo night at Sunrise. S was the only one who won a prize and very sweetly gave it to R when we got home. J is thinking about working at scout camp this summer. The director he had problems with last year will not be there again this year. The interviews are next Saturday. This week will be a short week work wise for me. I am taking Friday off and hopefully will be able to see S in her Middle School's talent show. I've asked her every day what time it will be and looked on the school's web page and still I don't know when it is. Hopefully P will go on Friday night and video tape it. I'm leaving early Friday afternoon to attend my church's woman's retreat in Williams. I can't wait, and the timing just seems perfect year with the next week Spring Break, a Spirit filled weekend, followed by a relaxing week of no work. No plans for Spring Break, I'm hoping we can do a few little things as a family on whatever days P has off, we'll see what we can afford and when he's off. If nothing else we'll go to see a few movies.
