WOW!!!

I can actually blog and even comment!!!

Well, the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009 has been crazy... I have been sick and we got inspected at preschool! I was so glad that is over! Now I have 30 days to fix everything!

Well, I hope everyone has enjoyed being celeberties in the email from Steph! They were soo funny!

Wasn't LOST AWESOME!!! I am sooo glad that it is back! Sheila even liked it enough to ask questions now.... we just need to get Cissa caught up! LOL...

I hope everyone is doing great!

I'm Back.......

I'm back for now... I brought the preschool laptop home and it seems to let me blog... Well, preschool is going well.... Most of you by now know that Stephanie is now engaged.... and my Baby will be a teenager October 7th! Man things are crazy! But then again they always are!

Thanks Cissa for coming to preschool and taking the school pics! :) I know they must be adorable....

Now I have to blog a preschool moment:

Friday we went to Circle S Farms.... Of course this was Jenna's class, Alyssa went too.... Deedah was going to take their picture in front of this VERY large pumpkin... when Alyssa says, in a very excited voice "BIG APPLE" and then she went over and tried to take a BIG bite out of it.... LOL... it was sooo cute... They said she left teeth marks in it! LOL

I can't wait until our next field trip! :)

Well, today I made my first website for the preschool! :) I did it all by myself!!! It was fun...Times have really changed. This week I received information from the health dept. to pass out at school on the pandemic flu.... We also received an alert radio from Homeland Security! I am glad for the information etc... but.... it is sad that times call for such measures.

I hope everyone else has a great week and hopefully I can update again soon!

THANK YOU LORD FOR SCRAPPING SISTERS!

Me and My Sisters!!!






Stephanie and Pansy :)










Me, Stephanie and Kim :)







Randy and Dallas.....












TEXAS CACTUS!!!


and... of course a barbed wire fence!



Well, it has definitely been one of those weeks! School has officially started!!! I think it is going to be a really good year with the kids!!! They are great! We have students that are really funny! Definitely blog material for later!





So you ask, If everything is so great, what is so bad about this week.... Well, lets see..... How about dealing with cranky people, who do not want to do what they are suppose to or lets not forget trying to decypher (or however you spell it) State rules and regulations. And last but not least Getting to put a playground back together, which also includes raking and turning the gravel that is out there! Oh and I almost forgot .... I get to inspect the playground quarterly and rake and turn gravel monthly!!! December - April I will be freezing!!!





On to happier thoughts!!! Last Sunday Cissa and I took the youth to play putt putt... Thank you Cissa for making it a memorable experience!!! The pictures are too funny... And yes, Cissa it is an alligator LOL...(see Cissa's blog)





So, needless to say.... I need a girls NITE!!! Scrapping Sisters is just what I ordered!





Oh and thank you so much to everyone for all their prayers!!! My cousin and her husband were both killed in an auto accident and we had to go back to Texas... While we were there we took pics and I thought I would share.... Well take care and maybe I will see you at a nite of scrappin!

Take Me Out to The Ball Game!!!

Well, we have definitely been all about baseball lately. For those of you who may not know, Dallas Made the ALLSTAR team! (GO DALLAS :) We have had practice almost every week night and tournaments all weekend! Well, we lost our first game this morning and then they came back and won the second game this afternoon! WAY TO GO VIKINGS!!! The downfall is that I have been taking Dallas to his games on Sunday and I have not been able to go to CHURCH! AHHH Carleta is NOT HAPPY! We have one more weekend of tournaments.... So hopefully that all goes well.

Ok enough about baseball.... Now for exciting news... As usual we had lots of kids at VBS.... Now considering that we only have like 4 kids in our congregation, I think 42 kids in one night at VBS is pretty good!!! But the best thing about it was that there were some kids there whose dad is an atheist and this may have been the only time they hear about Jesus!!! And then there was Jackson!!! He was baptized on Friday evening of VBS!!!! WOW! It was great! Praise the LORD!!!

Then coming up we are suppose to go to the TOBY MAC concert!!! YAY!!! DEEDAH I cannot wait! It will be fun as long as they leave the kid at home that had rocks in his bottle!!!LOL!!!! Oh my goodness that was crazy....

Well, blogger friends.... my blog has worked for now! But, I have an early baseball morning tomorrow so bye for now!!!

OH MY!!!

WELL, HERE I SIT!!! FRIDAY EVENING.... I JUST PICKED DALLAS UP FROM THE DANCE! HE SAID HE ACTUALLY DANCED!!! WOW.... THINGS ARE CHANGING RAPIDLY!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS ALMOST TIME FOR PRESCHOOL GRADUATION! WE ARE WORKING ON DECORATING THE CLASSROOM! IT IS REALLY STARTING TO LOOK GOOD. I EVEN TOOK PICS OF THEM IN THEIR CAPS AND GOWNS WITH MUSTACHES ON!!! Lol .... WE HAVE BEEN SOOO BUSY!!! I AM TOTALLY EXHAUSTED TONITE! WE HAVE ACTUALLY TOTALLY LOST IT!!! ON MONDAY WE WILL HAVE 27 PRESCHOOLERS AT SCHOOL AT THE SAME TIME!!!

SOOO.... I NEED REST FOR NOW!!!!

TAKE CARE MY BLOGGER FRIENDS AND DON'T FORGET TO PRAY FOR ME!!!

Rain.........

Well, I woke up this morning and it was a cloudy, gloomy day. They cancelled Dallas' baseball pictures, which will help me out. Now we don't have to be over there at 2:30! But, it just seemed to be a blah day! So, I decided to update my Blog! HA! Well, I signed on and guess what I read. Yep! My last Blog was about snow! IN MARCH!!! Well, guess what? This cloudy, rainy, gloomy day does not look so bad now!!!! :)

So, now I have to get ready to go buy Dallas some baseball pants that fit. By now most of you know he broke his finger! (we don't know how, he has about 3-5 different stories) He goes back to the orthopedist this Wednesday! Hopefully he can play ball again soon!

Preschool is crazy right now! We are getting ready for graduation! yay! The room is looking good but, man am I tired! I am also trying to get ready for another graduation! AHHHHH!!!

Then there is VBS! We are coloring the entire backdrop! Once again, AHHHH!!!

So, if it looks like I have pulled my hair out I probably have so, just pray for me! LOL.....

Well, Blogger buds.... take care and have a great rainy weekend! :)

"Don't Mess with Texas"

First I want to update on my previous blog.... The Toledo trip went well.... Steph is getting better! Thanks for all the prayers! Eventually they may be able to take her off medications!


Anyways.... I heard this lovely weather came from Texas!!! So, why can't we get sunshine from Texas??? I want the 70 and 80 degrees to come up from Texas.... Come on help a girl out! LOL....

Oh well.... we are snowed in....

My work atmosphere has been let's say as chilly as the weather outside... keep me in your prayers.... It has been a long week! I don't want to go into details but, it has been trying!

Well, it sounds like between sickness and the weather everyone has had a trying week.... so let's all bundle up... stay warm and drink a cup of hot tea! Maybe even make cookies or brownies!!! yummy!!!

10 reasons I want winter to go.........

1. Too cold to be outside
2. Steph drives me crazy when she cannot see Kyle!
3. I have to help shovel the driveway
4. I am ready to wear spring clothes
5. The roads to be clear so everyone can drive safe!
6. Snow messes up the floors so I have to mop mud!
7. Activities get cancelled and schedules get messed up!
8. Even when TV gets cancelled I still have to drive Steph to C-ville in yucky weather!
9. Snowmen are overrated (Except of course Cissa's)
10. My cat has to dig down in a foot of snow to find a place to poop!
