Ready for Spring


Wow - It's been just about 2 weeks since my last post. I'm obviously spending to much time working while I'm at work. I need to make a reoccurring Outlook Appointment and update the blog each week.


We've been lucky enough to have nice weather the last few weekends. The kids have been able to go outside and burn off some of that extra energy. They love to ride their bikes, play on the play set, and eat lunch outside. I'm ready for spring to be here. The weather changes so much each day, and spring usually means snow for Colorado. I guess what i really mean is that I'm ready for warm weather to get here and stay here.


Kyler is always getting in to dad's tools in the garage and dragging them off somewhere. It reminds me of going to Langlois and getting into Grandpa's stuff. I don't know how many tree trunks and posts were held together with all the nails we hammered in them.


Jake is still doing great in school. His excitement for "homework" has of course faded since the beginning of the year. He is good at math, but hates to do his math fact timings. I hope we'll be done with those soon and on to better things. It's hard to believe that he only has 3 months left.


MaKenna got her progress report from preschool last week. They just mark on a scale of 1-4. One means she hasn't started in that area yet and four means she has mastered the concept. I was surprised that she didn't get a 4 in "cause and effect". She definitely knows what the effects are of what she causes!


It is suppose to be mid 60's this weekend. I hope its not windy and i can send the kids out to play. Steve can "watch" them and I'll be able to get some housework done.

Kyler's 2nd Birthday


I just realized that with everything going on I never posted pictures of Kyler's 2nd birthday. Let me see if i can figure out how to do that...


Back home and to work...

Well I figured I would take a break from cleaning out my inbox and write a bit. I got through most of my email yesterday. After deleted 420+ emails, filing 150+ emails I narrowed it down to about 50 I need to read, scan, or do something with. Yesterday was full of meetings, so I'm feeling pretty productive today.

Jake has a "stay home day" today, so he is out running around town with Steve. Kyler and MaKenna went to daycare today. Everyone is home Monday - 3 "Stay Home Days" in a row! Unfortunately, this won't be a very exciting weekend. It will be a weekend of cleaning house and getting caught up on everything.

It was really nice to get to see everyone last week. Even though it was a sad time, I really enjoyed visiting and getting a chance to catch up on what everyone has been doing. Jake has Spring Break March 22nd - 30th. I'm trying to see if we'll all be able to come visit for a week.
