SNOW DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a boring two days. What makes it worse is that we have to make them up. Wonder what's going to happen tomorrow?


******************************

Yesterday. got up with the puppies at 5;30. Took your dad to Keizer Auto to look at the little car. The service light ws on. It ended up that the gas cap was loose. At least we didn't have to pay for anything. The roads were bad both in the morning and evening.

Kristin and I went to the Courthouse to work out. WE did get in the pool a little bit, but it was so hot. Glad we did some other things first.

Your dad was at work most of the morning and came home around 2:30.

Kristin fixed Chicken Noodle Soup and BLT's. had a b-day cake too.


Called people on my phone tree and told them there was no school the next day.


**************************************

This morning: same old thing. Got up this morning and watched tv, had coffee, and surfed the net. Went to work out, just me this time for around 10:30. WEnt down town at 11:30 to exchange Kristin's pants and have lunch with your dad. He went to work again this morning.

Now he is watching an Elvis Pressley movie with Lexi on his lap.

Tonight, we are having chicken and rice. The chicken is mixed with cream of mushroom soup and some mushrooms over rice. Should be good. Your dad likes it.

Good luck on your test tomorrow. Only a couple of days until you fly in.

MOM

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

These were taken just after dark. We started snowing around 3:30 and probably have 1-2 inches now.

Thursday: We went to Redmond. The weather was great and we had some good swims but lost both meets. The girls are not very strong. They have a few club swimmers, so we will see what happens at District. We got home on Oregon Trail by 10:05.

Friday: Just had to make it thru the day. The seniors did their kidnapping. The girls spent the night at Crystal's house. I guess everything went OK. We had practice, a tough one. After the meet Thursday, the team decided to work harder. It ws difficult, but they ere troopers. After dinner, Kristin and I had Panda Express.

Saturday: In the morning, Kristin and I went shopping. In the afternoon, your dad and I went shopping. That was about it. The weather was fine. for dinner we had tacos and ice cream for dessert.

Sunday: Woke up to dry outside, but that didn't last long. We did have snow this morning, but it melted by 10:30. We actually got up to 40 degrees. Then the temp started to drop. It's not as cold as you guys, but it is cold for us. We are at 28 degrees and dropping. We are snowing and we are not going to lose it any time soon. We might even got more snow on Wed. WE are not suppose to get up above freezing tomorrow. All of the school districts up north are closed, but not us yet. Wouldn't it be a great B-day present? We would have to make it up in June though.

I didn't leave the house today. Your dad and I wrapped gifts this morning while watching the Hawks. I have no idea what your sister did. I know she watched alot of tv. What's new.

Glad Dylan likes his dart board. I hope he gets alot of use out of it.

Stay warm and good luck on your final.

MOM

It's hard to believe that you are almost done with another semester. Wow. Before you know it, you will be out in the real world.

It has been fairly quiet around here for the last few days. The main topic of conversation is the weather. It is suppose to be butt cold here especially sunday. A high of 28 or something like that. It might snow a little bet. PROBABLYNO GOLF FOR US ON SUNDAY. Monday, it is suppse to warm up a little. Your dad told me today that if we miss any school days we will have to make it up at the end of the year. No snow days here.

We go to Redmond tomorrow for a swim meet. I can only take 53 because we get a charter bus that will show DVD's. I wonder what movies we will be watching. I had some swimmers that wanted to go but I couldn't take them. I took seniors over freshmen. It is their last year.

The seniors are kidnapping on Friday.

Your dad is actually home tonight and fixed dinner. Now, your sister is doing popcorn. The puppies will be on my lap shortly.

Hope you do well on your test tomorrow and I'm glad that you got your paper in.

See you in a week. Do you have a ride home next Friday?

The Christmas Picture

Sunday and it now raining. Suppose to be nice weather until next Friday.

Yesterday: your sister was at school in the morning doing catering stuff. Then she went to Keizer Station to get Cleary a birthday gift. She did work yesterday. She had to wait until almost 5pm for the last cart. It ws dark outside.

You know where we went for dinner.

The puppies got cut and had a bath. they are beautiful now. Getting ready for their buddy, Dylan to come. They want to sleep with him. It is OK with us.

This morning: got up at 6:11 to feed the puppies and work on some swimming stuff. We went and played golf. Played well on the front and ok until 17-18. Your sister was the big winner with the chips again. No one had the water chip until the last hole. Your dad went in the water and I thought I was safe. NOT. I ended up with that one and the double bogey chip.

Came home and had grilled cheese sandwiches and cider. Now, your dad is "listening" to the hawk game with the puppies on his lap.

when I'm done with this, I'm going to the store for the week.

tonight, we are having chicken, veggies and fruit. that will be a decent meal. Will watch football too.

Hope you had a good weekend. Sounds like the bb game was fun last night.

MOM

Kraig at his best. His mouth open.

This is your sisters ultimate Frisbee Team. We are doing more things in small groups this year.

Had a good day today. It ws 50 degrees outside when the team went, but a little windy. I took alot of pictures so that I could give them to Katelyn so she could put them on the swim team's myspace page.

HOpe you had a good day today and I hope you see this.

MOM

Another a couple of days in Salemville.

Yesterday, we had a swim meet against McKay. They have more swimmers than usual but they are not very good. The boys swam very well, with quite a few great times for so early in the season. You know how your sister swam. We are not going to be very good on the girls side. the boys will hold their own. We didn't get home until after 8pm ( we stoped at Panda Express for dinner).

Your dad was at Crescent Valley last night to watch the girls play ball and didn't home until after 10:30.

Today: got to school and taught step. 2nd period, I worked on swimming stuff and found that I didn't end up with many JV times. Need to work on that for the next meet.


Practice went really well today. I had 6 different workouts going with the lanes really mixed up. The kids had no idea what wasa going on. they got to swim with some really different people.

We got home, Kristin and I, and had hambergers. She is going to fix ppopcorn later, hopefully soon.

Your dad is in Corvallis watching the boys tonight. It will be another late night.

tomorrow is dryland practice since we cannot use the pool. I think we will play ultimate frisbee, but might use gater balls if it is windy or they can't catch.

Hope your meeting went well tonight. Have a nice day.


MOM

A couple of pics from Sandpines. What a couple of cuties.

Today was just another day.

Woke up this morning and fixed your dad a turkey sandwich. He is in Corvallis for the next 4 nites watching basketball.

Maddie and Lexi didn't get up until the 5:30 alarm went off. We got to sleep in.

Kristin came downstairs upset because her ipod wouldn't turn on. WE took it to school to work on it.

Got to school and 30 min. later my computer finnaly came on. I put in Kristin's ipod, had to get on the support site and got it figured out. I got it running. It needed to be charged for one thing. What a goober.

School went well, just busy. My step was ready to work. that was nice. My personal fitness classes were not real hapy. they had to condition and take notes. That was easy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Had a faculity meeting after school, then practice. that went well too. Had a couple not there, so that's that many less swims.

Came home and had TV dinners to eat. Finished what everyone is swimming tomorrow (unless someone gets sick).

downloaded pictures and put a couple of them on here for you. HOpe you enjoy them.
