Care to Guess....

...when we'll know where we are moving this summer?

We had been told early - mid February. All around us others are getting orders. Now that Mike is gone the kids (and I) are worried that someone will forget to tell us where we are moving....or that we'll hear where we are going through the grapevine.

Maybe a contest would help pass the time. ::snort::

Leave your best guess - and really it's totally random here - as to when we'll find out the location of our next home.....

Two Earth-Shattering Comments

1. Yes, Bre....I remember that black is an "old lady" color and brown is the new black....but I like this look for now. Never fear, I am not wearing this color combination. ::snort::
2. 2. My memory is SOOOO bad. Honestly, it's worrisome. I've been informed that JAMIN was NOT hit on the head by a brick resulting in stitches (see birthday blog). Jamin threw the brick that landed on JARED'S head...resulting in stitches.
3. 3. Mike is asking me to figure out how to back up/save the blog. Any ideas? I don't want to necessarily make BOOKS - far too much money..... Of course, if everything we write on the web is archived...it is a simple matter of finding the archives. LOL
4. Did I warn blog readers that when Mike is gone I suffer from a severe word usage deficit? Expect more verbiage than strictly necessary.
5. This is more than 2 thoughts.

Friday Update

Jamin is 18! He and I went to the gym.

Nolan, Zander and I worked on our Viking Lapbooks.

We picked up produce. The kids enjoyed a power play date and I enjoyed a power "mommy date". LOL

We picked up Jamin and Jared and went to Jamin's favorite Chinese restaurant. Josiah called when he got out of his last class and joined us for lunch.

Josiah and the older two boys went out to target practice with his new toy.

Mike called. Check the update at the top of the blog.

The older boys called us and we met them at the lake. Photos below. We didn't have gifts or a party today for Jamin. We'll do that when Mike is home. The day was practically perfect. It was a treat to sit and visit with Josiah....always good to get the insight of adult children while you still have children at home to benefit from that input. LOL

We came home and watched El Dorado and Hogan's Heroes.

Photos (tried to limit it to one per subject...I do like the quality of the D70 photos....and I've taken to carrying a back pack so it is a purse camera. ::snort::)

Peaceful Play Structure

The gang hatches a plan.....


Tag - you're IT






















Stacia was clueless most of the game...but she had a blast! It was fun to watch everyone include her in the wild game.
