It has been a while since I last posted I now and I'm very sorry, there has just been alot going on and Jason has all the pictures on his camera which he keeps with him so he can take pictures of things like this. I am hoping to corner him at lunch and get it so I can down load the pictures and write a nice long informative message with pictures.

Other wise this is whats been happening:

DJ had his pine wood derby in march and was given the award for the most realistic. Kaitlyn had her math counts competition at Salt Lake Community Collage they had a lot of fun but didn't place :( The whole family went and stayed at Debbie's that weekend and had a nice visit, then went to the dentist on Monday. We stayed home for Easter and its a good thing we did because I ended up in bed all day with a terrible migraine that even Lortab didn't help. The "Easter bunny" did come though (even though my kids don't believe in the Easter bunny)and they had fun hunting for Easter eggs. The kids had spring break over Easter weekend and I told them that spring break was started so that kids could help with spring planting and since we don't live on a farm they have to help with spring cleaning (I know I'm sooo mean;) Oh yeah and Red was fixed, no puppy's for him, and Soot lost all her hair, she was shaved and now looks like a rat.

A New Look

One morning before Shelbie left for school she said to me "mom, I have split ends, can you make me an appointment to get my hair cut". I, being the mom of 5 that I am told her she doesn't need her hair cut go to school. So imagine my surprise the next morning when she comes upstairs for prayer and she looks like this




She had stayed up the night before and cut her own hair, layers and all. I was shocked.
She looks really cute with it and she did a surprisingly good job, but oh how I miss my little girl. I know longer have a say in what she does, I'm just glad she did it so well and is very happy about it because I wouldn't know how to fix this.

WHAT TO DO!

I know it has been forever since I have blogged. But know with all the kids in school and 6 hours all to myself, I have found that I have alot of time to do whatever I want. The only problem has been what do I want to do. So the dishes are done the floor vacuumed and the bathroom is clean all I have left to do is fill the next 4 hours until the kids come home.

To update; Shelbie, does nothing but go to school but she is getting good grades and has decided to work towards her business degree next year, she is also working to finish her Personal progress so that she will have it finished before she turns 16 and is excited about being able to drive in 6 months;( So PLEASE pray for me.

Kaitlyn is doing well in school, she is in a play this semester (I forget what it's called) she is also in a math club called, Math Counts. They had a mathletes competition on Feb. 28th and her group (there where 4 girls) won 2nd place and are now going to a state competition the end of this month, of which she is very excited.

The other kids are doing great to they are getting tired of school and are ready for a break, they are also looking forward to spring, winter seems so long that as soon as the weather is above freezing they want to ware shorts.

Well I guess its time to find something to crochet or some cross stiching to do. Tomorrow I will be off helping Jason survey (that means me sitting in his truck reading) that will at least fill my day with something differant.
