I am alive and well...

2008-07-08T08:18:00.000-07:00

Hello! Hello! Just in case anyone still checks my blog from time to time. Summer has hit us at a breakneck speed. We have put a good size garden in and I have been canning and freezing and just simply trying to do ALL the things that don't get done in the school year. Trust you are having a good summer!!

Have you had any sereandipitous meetings lately!!

2008-04-06T16:39:00.000-07:00

Hello! I guess I have to get sick to get caught up on blogging..... I have had "achy bones" for 4 days without a fever. I had it all figured out! (You know how we women worry) I must have bone cancer and had the beginnings of my LAST WORDS all figured out!! And of course who my husband would marry!! I think I must have had a low grade fever and just kept going. What's a mother supposed to do?
I know you are wondering how serendipitous fits into this? Have you ever noticed how some big words can be trendy. I had noticed this one in Dr. Dobsons letter and then in the Creation Museum in Ohio. I looove big words! It doesn't show my intelligence but the "lack there of". (I have to make up for it somehow) My grandma was a big word fan so I guess I get it honestly. Several people have asked for the saying that my "great" uncle made up after a long bout of word wars with my grandma. They would try to see who could outsmart the other with the biggest words until he told her one day.... "You insignificant conglomeration, misconstrued protoplasm. You characterized piece of inconvenience and if you think my language is too copious for your dimensions of comprehensions I will try to solicit it more explicitly" To say the least he won the word war and it has been used many times since. If you are upset you will be laughing by the time you are finished!

Some Pictures at an Authentic Mexican Resturant

2008-01-21T19:38:00.000-08:00

We ate at the only local resturant President Bush and his wife had eaten in. The twins sat in the corner the President and Laura sat in. JJ had fun with friends Jared and Ben. I didn't realize I hadn't told the twins we wouldn't be talking to President Bush this time. They ended up being a little disappointed untill we talked about how much fun it was just to be a part of it.

The Christmas Tree Lighting With President Bush

2008-01-21T19:19:00.000-08:00

We were blessed by a "dear" friend that got us tickets to see the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony in Washington D.C. It was BEAUTIFUL and very COLD!!! The family picture is far from perfect....because you had to snap quick. I still haven't figured out how to label each picture right so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks to Aunt Stephanie for her suggestion for the cakes! The hotdog is a octopus on a coral reef! December birthdays are a challenge for me to put together because of Christmas preparations. I can't wait to share some pictures of our visit to D.C. to see Pres. Bush. but that will have to wait till later....

The Twins Mckenzie and McKenna

2007-12-05T17:48:00.000-08:00

The Girls are BOTH 2lbs. 10oz. McKenzie Started at 2lbs.8.4oz. and McKenna started at 2lbs 6.8oz. McKenna is on the C-pap 6 hours and off 6 hours. So she is doing better. McKenzie is just on Oxygen. I haven't figured how to get my words with my pictures just yet soo....Dawn is holding McKenzie and she is waving saying "HELLO" to everyone. You can see McKenna getting help breathing. She doesn't like the C-pap at all. Keep praying for them.

A Prayer Request

2007-10-22T18:57:00.000-07:00

I just spent most of the day with Dawn at the hospital. She is expecting twin girls! But as twins have a habit of doing....They want to come early. Please help us pray for them. She is 25 weeks and 3 days. So far she is stablized. Dr. say at 24 weeks they start to survive but....could be some real trouble. JJ was born at 27 weeks but I still count my blessings! THANKYOU!!

Thought You might get a good laugh at JJ's cell. My boys have to have a little more hands on to learn some things. The endoplasmic reticulum is more like a worm!! Oh, well, he is learning it!!!

Grandma Made It To Her 60th Highschool Reunion

2007-10-16T15:47:00.000-07:00

What a delight to take Jeff's Grandma to her reunion!!! She has Alzheimer's Disease, but still recognized the names of her classmates. Three of her teachers SHOWED UP!!! Two were 88!! (Maybe I'm glad I'm teaching) She is still spunky but has been more down in the dumps lately. We were walking out to get in the vehicle, and an older man was sleeping away.... head tilted back. She says, "Becky, tweek that beak!!" What a fun person to STILL be around! The lady to her left in the picture of the two of them is her teacher.
