Spreading Christmas Cheer

Jake performed with the 2nd grade at school today. He was on the second row (blue striped shirt) so I was able to get up front and film him close. He was singing to me the whole time. CuTIe PiE!! I loved it!


Kelsey also performed today (top row, gray shirt with striped sleeves). I think she was scared to death. She gets stage fright like her mommy. I loved the song and thought Kelsey was beautiful.

Christmas "Attitude"

I found this picture on Kelsey's whiteboard this morning. It had me cracking up! I actually think it's Morgan's handwriting and seems more like Morgan's attitude too. Ho ho ho!

Almost There

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm heading toward it. My final is tomorrow and the stress of school will disappear for 3 weeks. YiPPee!!

Two more weeks of school to SURVIVE!

How this cat looks . . . is how I feel! Only two weeks left of this semester but 3 large assignments are due and then there's the final. oH, My, HeCk!!! Just cart me off to the funny farm right now.

25th Anniversary of Pie Night

Behold the beautiful pies! We had the pleasure of attending Uncle Shirl and Aunt Toni's 25th anniversary of pie night. The tradition started 25 years ago with them making each person in their family's favorite pie (7 pies the first time) and eating them the night before Thanksgiving. The night is solely dedicated to pies. The tradition grew and grew! This year there were 45 gorgeous and might I say . . . DELICIOUS pies. Thanks so much for all your hard work every year so we can enjoy the feast. We love you.

Vacation "Project"

I'm not sure why I don't know how to take a vacation from school and relax . . . but I can't. After two years in our home, this week I finally painted my stairs! I had to rent scaffolding due to the 15 foot ceiling above the stairs, but I finally got it done. Yippee. By the way, it wasn't my idea to take the picture. Joe came in around midnight with the camera to make my night. Can you see my grumpy frown?
