I haven't disappeared

School is really crazy right now. I feel like every free moment is spent doing homework. Well, homework or shuttling kids around. Jason has been working INSANE hours, and too closely resembles a zombie here lately because he is so tired.

Kylee is almost done with volleyball. She really improved from the start of the season, and actually enjoys it now. Her last game is Monday, then Tuesday is the first day of basketball.

Kearstin was moved up in her spelling class, at least she is doing class level work now. Smart kid, I just really wish she would apply herself more.

Kami...too excited about turning 5 next month. And still way too bossy!

That's all for now, back to homework. :(

I Love Flashmobs!

All the more reason to like Oprah!

Yikes

Where does the time go...

Been busy, school is taking up a lot of time this semester. Jason worked 80 hours in 5 days, busy boy. For a few hours today, we had two dogs...but when the newcomer snapped at Kami, he had to go.

A couple of weekends ago, I saw Wicked, loved it. We also went to the Cougar game, hated it. It's easy to hate it though, when they lost so badly. Last weekend, the girls and I went camping with Clint, Caley, and Carson. The kids had a great time. It rained quite a bit, but it was still fairly warm out, and the tent worked really well.

Off to do more homework. Only 11 (blech) more weeks to go.

Trying something new...

Before...

During...
























After...

The rest of the hair is headed for Locks of Love.

It's kinda cute, really.

My Hubby is Awesome

Some women enjoy flowers, others think that a night out is perfect.

Me...

it's all about the tunes.

He surprised me yesterday with a new iPod!

I guess I can be nice to him for a couple of days. :)

It really is true????

A long time ago, my mom told me that teenagers are stupid. Literally stupid. I always thought that she was being sarcastic or nasty, but really didn't believe that she was being literal. I mean, how could a smart kid suddenly loose any sense in their head for 6 years, and emerge at the end as an intelligent, well adjusted young adult?

Kylee isn't quite a teen, but I think she is entering that tunnel of ignorance that requires all common sense be left behind.

Kylee: Mom, I need sunscreen for the Great Wolf Lodge this weekend.

Me: blink, blink

Kylee: Really mom, do you know where the sunscreen is?

Me: Kylee, you do remember that it is an INDOOR waterpark, right?

Kylee: Oh, yeah.

Happy Birthday Kearstin

Another one in double digits...

She has been doing so well at taking care of the animals, that we decided to give in and let her get her own kitty.

This is one very happy little girl.

And one new little one named...

HUNTER.
