what a mess

Believe it or not, but this is our after shot....as you will soon see it was pretty bad....

The big empty spot was where we set up our pool.

This is one of our before shots....it gets worse

Can you believe that all that is weeds...after we did half of the yard we decided to call it quits for now until it cools down...since it is a 100 degrees outside...The plan is to go to the dump tomorrow....I hope that that happens!!!

breaking the silence

Well kind of... I still don't have much of anything to say, but really how long could that last. I mean I have gone through a couple of months of a silence...Then to talk about pretty much nothing... and I guess that has not really changed but I'm trying.

It's hot already. I'm sitting here in a pair of sweat pants and my socks and a shirt of course and I am dying of heat already... and It's just gonna get even hotter....blugh

What else can I talk about... I'm tired. But who isn't right?

Silence

I've got all kinds of things that I could be blogging about, but I can't seem to pull something together. It's not much of anything to say but it's all I can come up With right now... at least.

chipped tooth

So yesterday I had a meeting at the school to discuss the upcoming spring fling. While I was in the meeting kaelina, Emily and Jacob were outside on the playground playing. I think I was only in the meeting for maybe 20 minutes. I come out and see that Emily has a fat lip and is kinda bleeding. I take a closer look and I see that her front tooth is chipped and a little bit wiggly. She already lost that tooth so if she loses this one than she won't have a tooth. That annoys me. So I guess I will be calling the dentist today so he can take a look at it.

Bowling award ceremony...2009

Well the winter league of bowling ended on a good note... It's hard to see but here is all the trophies.

This is hellen...she runs the show...She is a great coach. She loves kids and the kids love her. She takes time to teach each child the tools they need to bowl a great game.

This was a total shock to all of us, all three of the kids won scholarships for college this year. (last year kaelina won 50 dollars in scholarship for college) So when Jacob was called up I couldn't believe it. He won 75 dollars. Then at the very end of the ceremony Kaelina, Emily and Jacob were called up. They each won a 50 dollar scholarship because they sold the most raffle tickets earlier this year. So to all who bought one...Thanks. So If you didn't keep track....That is 275 dollars in scholarship money for the kids. Just for fun I'm gonna break it down for you...AGAIN. Kaelina won a total of 100 dollars. Emily won 50 dollars and Jacob won 125 dollars total. HOORAY...Good job kids.

We had talked about not going back for at least a season...but after the award ceremony the kids are amped up and ready to start another season on may 11. Who am I to stop them...Hey whatever money they can wrack up for college, I'm not going to stop. So every Monday (probably for the rest of my life....LOL) I will be at the bowling alley...

update

I took Jacob in for his appointment and the Dr said that the area shouldn't be red and it shouldn't hurt like it does so he put Jacob on some antibiotics and said everything should be OK. Hopefully that is how it will work out...
