Rob's A winner!

Saturday, I went to the scrapbook store for the garage sale. I didn't find anything but did buy a new paper trimmer, a new magazine and some first birthday paper and stickers. Then, Devin and I went to Kohl's to get some new clothes for the Elk dinner. Devin wasn't to happy apparently I was taking to long.UGH! Rob went grocery shopping for me. I stayed home to straighten up and look at my new scrapbook magazine. Later, we went to the Elk dinner. My brother and his wife babysat my kids. Thank-you brother!:) We ended up having a pretty good time!! My husband ended up winning a gun for hunting.Boy, was he happy!!!! My uncle won a sweatshirt, a fire pit,and some really nice elk coffee mugs. Later today, we are going to my moms for dinner and to watch the ultimate fighting video that my brother recorded last week!!!Hope everyone is enjoying there weekend.

Two posts in one week guys.I think That s a record! My house is quite. Devin is ice skating with Stephanie tonight. Hunter has a friend spending the night (playing video games)and karsen is peacefully sleeping. Poor baby is still sick. We can't seem to get him better.Tomorrow Rob and I are going to a elk dinner. We have gone for about 4 years now. We first started going with friends of ours Amy and Scott. and now my parents go,
my aunt and uncle and this year another group of friends will be going too. Its kind boring if you ask me but my husband enjoys it. You have prime rib dinner and then they show all these hunting videos. Later you can enter to win all these raffles and the action off a bunch of hunting things.(junk) Any way is any one keeping up with Idol? That young boy is awesome. Beside the elk dinner, I'm not sure what else the weekend hold.

Hello again!

Hey guys. Sorry its been so long. My computer hasn't been working right. I've been trying to fix it and finally just asked my brother.Thank god for brothers, right. I went to hunter's conference at school. I was so happy when the teacher told me that he is very helpful to his friends. you always wonder as a parent. you know that you taught them to be kind but then you wonder if they take that with them even when your out of site. I was happy to hear that hunter always helps the same friend get his homework ready fast so he don't miss the bus.(but in the mean time he forgets to bring his homework home.lol )His grades have improved so much that we are just so proud of him. I think that this is the first year that he has really enjoyed school. He reads with out us telling him too. And has finally went above his ar goal! He even sits down and does homework right after school. we are so proud. I finally made it to Devin's dance class(no pics though) It is so overwhelming for me to watch her dance the lyrical /ballet always gets me teared up!She has improved greatly over the past years. She has been dancing since she was 5 at forest hills dance company. She is trying out for the Harlem dance team in April. Good luck Devin .We filled out her class schedule for next year. but then decided we weren't sure so we ask the counselor to help us. She was suppose to talk to Devin today but for some reason didn't.I'm trying to talk Devin in to taking Spanish 3.so I thought the counselor could help me with that and maybe give us some input on the other classes,too.little man is still sick. I think that he gets one thing after the other. He has pneumonia and a ear infection.Poor baby. I know they say being in daycare your more exposed but honestly I think we have been exposed and gotten just about everything.Last weekend, I spent the weekend throwing up. UGH!This weekend, rob and i went gambling Friday night. It was rather fun. I really needed those 4 amaretto stone sours I had!We didn't win anything but just had some good laughs and drinks.LOL Saturday, I had a baby shower to go too and then we had a birthday party for Rob's friend son. Sunday, we spent the day visiting with my brother and his wife,Jenny.Around 7p.m, we went to the play volleyball. Hand n Hand daycare has a volleyball team .We normally do not play. but some of our players have left the daycare.And one teacher has had surgery.so that doesn't leave much of a team. Rob Devin, My brother, his wife, and me all went to help out. However, the other team didn't show. We decided to just play a fun quick game since we all drove out there. Well, one of the players from my work dislocated his shoulder trying to spike the ball.He wanted to pop it back in place by himself.but it way very painful.Rob had to drive his car and I drove him home. so his parents could take him to the hospitsal.He couldn't even get out of the car. Rob and his mom had to help him. Poor kid. Today, I finally Looked At my new scrapbook etc magazine!!! Maybe this will get me out of my scrap rut!!!

Stayin in doors.

I I spent the weekend rearranging my photo albums and bought this self to hold all my scrapbooks,photo albums, my once upon a family albums (in there cute little boxes)and my digital photo frame. I decided that one just isn't enough. So next weekend I willl have to purchase another. I rearranged the kids school photos(With robs help)and hung more photos up in karsen's room.He sleeps so good in his big boy bed. Although it is still purple &blue from devin.He loves it.Hunter and devin are such big helps with him. They are proud siblings thats for sure. Sunday, Hunter put karsen to sleep. He kept checking on him and because it was so cold. He wanted to make sure he stayed covered. Devin lets him listen to her songs on my space.He sings to "Hey there Delilah." Too cute. Today we have had the fireplace roaring all day. It is so cold. We have not even left the house all day.Which is probably good since the laundry is over flowing . I 've spent the day changing laundry and reading "The choice." pretty good book. We did get to try our Karsens vtech computer . It hooks up to the tv( thanks hunter for hooking it up) and you can press the colors and shapes. He really wasn't that intrested but hunter and I liked it. lol Hope everyoneis staying warm.

They went to play cards and hunter went to play with his friend ryan.They decide to come home and watch the game though.Devin and I saw this as a chance to head to the mall.My sister went with us which was rather nice. I haven't seen her in a while. We got karsen some cute clothes from the childrens place(BIG SALE< LADIES) Devin was on a misson to find some of these skinny pants. I guess bellbottoms are no longer .hmm.. We finally found some at pacsuns.:) She was a very happy girl. We celebrated with a strawberry creme frapicino. Boy are those good.

Sorry ladies. The winner of the top bad blogger award goes to me!LOL. Not much has gone on in this house.Karsen is talking alot. He can say all his friends names in his class. He is pointing to his body parts when ask too. He can say our dogs name."Manny" (which really is mandy!) Too cute. Hunter did excellant on his report card. He brought a d in science up to a B,spelling b to an a, and science c to a b. He did so good. We are so proud of him. Devin did great,too.All a's and b's.She is now in spanish 2 which is alittle hard. But she is always up for a challenge. We have been talking about drive right over the summer. I'm not sure I'm ready for that. I know she is though!I wanted to go watch her dance this tuesday but it was cancelled do to weather. Next week though. I can't go watch her every week even though I'd like too.It is such a great surprise to see how much she has accomplished. The ballet always makes me tear up.I haven't really done any scrapbooking lately. I look at all your blogs and you all have accompished so much. And what cool new stuff.
