Sick Day

I am sick and not appreciating it! I told Carl that I would get back into the blogging world so that our family and friends could be informed as to what we are doing. (I certainly fell off the wagon for a while) but I am back on and sadly, on this first day all I am thinking about is being ill. Ha

But, being sick has given me the opportunity to do some things I have been wanting to do and haven't in a while, so I thought I would give you a list...

1. Lay in bed for hours during the middle of the day
2. Watch Robin Hood: Men in Tights whilst lying in the bed
3. Using all the super hot water in the water heater so I could spend 20 min in the shower
4. Sit in front of the computer and do silly things with no/little guilt
5. Wash some laundry (but only a bit..seriously, we were running out of socks...)
6. Sit in lounge pants and comfortable shirts all the live long day
7. Make myself a large cup of hot cocoa

So, here is to looking on the bright side of sickness and hoping that, while I can see the positives, this goes away soon!!

I are a college gradgiate!

Well, it took 5 years to complete a two year degree, but I did it! I am an official college graduate. Yay!! I got my Associates in Liberal Arts...a nice way of saying I learned a whole lot of unrelated things. Just never found anything I wanted to specifically major in there. So, now I get to move on to eastern Michigan University for their Reading degree and if it works out, to Wayne State for a Masters in Library Science. Congratulations me!! : D

More Talent Show Goodness

In addition to the solo act jake did, he also participated in his class act. His teacher Donna made them super cute firefly outfits that had little lights all over them. Here it is, enjoy!

2010 Burger Talent Show

The Burger Talent Show has come and gone for another year. This time was particularly interesting as Carland I did not get to go. We spent the afternoon in the ER, trying to figure out what was wrong with Carl's back. Came home from work a few days earlier saying his back was hurting him, and by Thursday is was completely seized up. Luckily it is just muscular, but unfortunately, Carl has to sit and lay and sit and lay and sit some more. It's getting old fast!

So, since we were not in attendance, Alex was our videographer this year! He went with Jackie (Gram) and Lauren (cousin) and did a fabulous job for someone who is only 7 years old. "I didn't drop the camera at all!"

So, here is Jake "hip-hop" dancing to "Lean Like a Cholo". Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Carl!!

Carl is 35 years old today! All my newer pictures are on the other computer, but I wanted the world to know! :) Happy birthday Carl!

Kite fun

The boys got kites for Easter, so a few days ago we took them out for a test spin in the field by our house. Here are some of the shots we took. Enjoy!

The more I push Alex to improve his writing and spelling, The more I know I am going to miss days like this. I love his little signs.
