The lettering Pin!

Marc lettered in Wrestling the end of 2008. I was lucky to have my camera ready at hand to capture the moment. It was quite a match! His opponent was up by six points and in the last 5 seconds Marc pinned him. The ref actually called it with about one second to spare! Talk about having the spectators sweat it out! Got some great photos though, check 'em out!

New Year What???

Ahhh! Small sound that can mean many things, depending on the tone and inflection used. I'm sure that it will be used many times by me in this coming year, although, I'm not counting the times or ways that it'll be used.

A new year here, new resolutions made, renewed determination to be, do and act better. We'll see how long it lasts this year. Don't sound very committed do I? Actually I am. I am trying to be more realisic in my goals. I can print a list that will make me seem perfection plus as I check them off. However, that same list will make my head spin and drive me into staring at the walls and babbling some incomprehensible sounds wondering where to start. Been there done that one several times now. I am ready for a new approach.

This year I plan to be just plain better than last year. That will require things like dilligence, perserverance, better time management and organization. The last two being my most dreaded weaknesses. I tell everyone, I'm not sure what I did to deserve both those weaknesses. One or the other is bad enough, but both?? I figure though, if I can be better in just those two areas, imagine the ramifications it could have in my life. I may turn out to be more than perfection plus afterall. Let's see how far I can take this lofty improvement....

Wish me luck with my lofty ideals. May the force be with you and yours.

Accused...and slimmy

I have been accused of loving Marshall the most, or only loving him because he's the only one with photos on here. That will change. I do not play favorites.... I just happened to have some of him downloaded onto the computer to practice with. Do love you Marsh, but I also love Megs, Myles, and Marc. You are all my faves!

On another slimmy note, I found a slithering friend in my bedroom last night! I thought it was a worm at first then after closer examination, discovered a fork tounge. Here is a photo of what it looked like, and no, I am not holding it! It's a blind snake, granted it's not completely blind, but that's what it's called.

That's the second snake this year! The first one was huge, this one is one of the smallest kinds of snakes there are. Big, small, I'm always at odds!

Halloween Bunnies

Okay, I had fun with the last picture thing so I'm trying it again using the ever so technical button called edit! This is sort of cheeky (no pun intended). See what you think. Enjoy!

Make a Smilebox greeting

OOPS!!

Yeah, I saw the typo. Just ignore it, that's what I'm trying to do!

Okay, I can't here's the correction.

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Learning the art of creating????

Okay, I'm not that great at updating yet. I'm working on it. I'm also working on learning cool stuff on the computer. Thought I'd try my latest creation out on here. Sortof cheeky since the site did most the work itself... I did help however. Remember, just learning....

First attempt...

Okay, this is another first attempt for me. I'm learning all sorts of new things on the computer so why not add this to the list? Who knows where this will lead me? Perhaps to great and wonderous happenings...don't you want to be there with me?
Things are changing at my house. My kids are growing up. I've loved all the stages in the lives of my kids. I loved them young, I loved them as teens (not everything they did, but always loved them), I love them now. Megan is in graduate school at UT in Austin and is now in love and engaged to Marc Matthews (fabulous man who loves her back.) Myles is now in Minnesota going to a music production school. He has a puppy who adores him and a girlfriend in Texas that is very supportive of his education. Marshall is in his Senior year of High School. He is captian of the Drumline, teaches piano and drum lessons. His days are filled morning til night. He practices constantly for upcoming competitions and future auditions for college. Marc is in his first year of High School. He has adjusted quite well to his new school. He is on the wrestling team and with season starting next week with practices, he'll be living at the High School with Marshall. Marc has also been playing fall baseball, just a few more games left. He's advancing in Scouting and hopefully will have his Eagle in the not so distant future. Scott's work load is shifting. He works a bit more from home now, is traveling a little less and has more lunch dates with me than ever before. I like it. Me? Well, I'm in awe. Life has moved so fast. There was a time that I thought I'd be changing diapers and picking up legos for the rest of my life. Now I have teenagers and adults as children. The years have passed so quickly and have been so fun and rewarding. I wouldn't trade those times for anything. Things are changing at my house. I loved how it was, how it is now, and I think I'll love whatever changes come. I know that now is currently my favorite time in life.
