Night 3 - Karaoke Party Fun!

2 down - 2 to go!!!

One down, three to go --Arrrrhhhh! (click here)

Night one went really well. We had a lot of fun with the whole pirate thing. I think Mr Brad said "Arrhhhh!" about 37 times! Tomorrow night the animals come marching in! I Can't wait to see the kids' reactions! After the show I spoke to a little boy named Andy. He was so excited and said his favorite part was when the pirates did their fight scene.

VBS costume sneak preview!

Noah's Adventure in Faith Starts tonight (Sunday 24th), but the animals don't come until tomorrow night. Here is a sneak peek of some of he animal costumes I worked on. It was so much fun making Noah's Ark come to life!

Beatlemania

Last Friday night we attended a Concert in the Garden. It was a lot of fun! The fireworks were shot off during "Live and Let Die" (I know, not the Beatles - Wings) and the finale..."Hey Jude"...AWESOME!

He's back!

Check out Preston's blog and see what's cookin'. He finally updated it!

I'm the worst wife ever!

1. The laundry basket is piled high with dirty clothes and my husband didn't have any shorts to wear so he wore his bathing suit all day today (to Sam's, Walmart, Albertson's, church - basically all over town)!

2. Yesterday he showed me a pair of shorts that had a hole in the pocket and mentioned that his keys were falling through...I pointed him in the direction of the stapler. He said he had already tried that...I suggested hot glue.

School's Out!

Yeah! The kids and I are out of school for the summer! We can sleep in, swim, work on our summer reading program, focus on VBS costumes, and just have a nice relaxing, wonderful summer! I will be continuing my college classes, but they will be much easier now that I am not going to work everyday! Yeah!!!!!

And the Winner is?

Will it be Blake or Jordin? I predict Jordin.

Wow!

I CAN NOT believe Melinda got voted off American Idol!!!! What is up with that?
(Although, I think Blake is really cute and I'm glad he made it through!)

VBS is underway

I attended rehearsal for the first time on Mon night. It was fun - always lots of cutting up and silliness - but I'm kind of worried - I was sore the next day. Is the electric slide really that strenuous or am I just that out of shape? My hips hurt - I guess I was shakin' my groove thing just a little too much! Oh well, it will be worth it to see all of Noah's animals gettin' their disco on! (Can you guess what I am?)

4.0 Baby!

Ok, it's all over, the fat lady has sung and I still have a 4.0! Online classes at Ashford start 5/22. I'm taking my last math class at TCC starting 5/29.

Only 8 1/2 school days left for the kids and me. Summer is almost here! I can't wait!

ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO!!!

This picture kind of reminds me of "The Godfather"

I took my Speech final online this morning before church and the instructor has already posted my final grade in the class: A!!!!

Tomorrow I take my Spanish final. I enjoyed this class, but it got harder as the semester wore on...I am 47 points away from an A...I have to make at least a 47 on the final - I should be ok.

Math is on Tuesday. I have an 86% right now - the final test is worth 70% of the overall grade...If anyone can do the math on this one let me know. Otherwise, I'll just try to make an A on the final and hope for the best. I really don't want to make a B in this class.

I'll keep ya posted.

PS: Next year we should go to the Kentucky Derby . It looks like fun....All of those hats and Mint Juleps!

I still love my cat

Well, she did it again! Not just once either!!!

She chewed through 3 phone cords, the DSL cord and the power cord to the router on our desktop.

IT'S A GOOD THING SHE'S CUTE!!!!

We took her to get fixed (or as Preston likes to say: "broken").

She's been pretty laid back for the past few days, I wonder if being in heat had anything to do with her chewing? Maybe taking out her frustrations on cords is her thing! The vet didn't think total tooth extraction was a good idea...Any suggestions?

(By the way, these are not our actual cords, I downloaded this picture off the internet, but it is kind of how it looks behind our computer...Do you think someone will ever come up with a solution to this?)

Only 3 more days and this semester will be OVER!!!! I'll have a few weeks to relax and then I'll hit it again on 5/24!

I love my cat!

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS A LONG AND INVOVLED STORY ABOUT MY STRESSFUL WEEKEND. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Hope you had a great weekend! I had a wierd one! I was using my new laptop computer to work on a speech and I had everything spread out on the dining room table. Well apparently our cat, Abbey, has decided that the dining room table is HER turf. When I wasn't looking she chewed through the AC adapter cord ($85 at Best Buy) causing the computer to shut down (while I was in the middle of preparing my very-first-ever Powerpoint presentation). SO.. Preston took it back to Best Buy where the "Geeks" graciously provided us with another AC adapter cord that was no longer being used for a display item. We plugged it in and it worked beautifully! (For 2 hours). The computer shut down agan!!!! I was really worried because I was completely done with the Powerpoint and Outline for my el fabuloso speech entitled "It Takes a Community"...So this afternoon after church, Preston returned to Best Buy. Again, the "Geeks" proved their worth by replacing my laptop computer with a "brandy new" one!!! Can you believe it??? What a blessing!

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY:

Don't infringe on your cat's turf and shop at Best Buy for all of your electronics needs!

Hi Alice!

This is for you! I know you are porbably tired of looking at the same old stuff! Do you think I should order this hoodie from my new school in Iowa?

Yes, that's right. I said Iowa! I have enrolled at Ashford University in Clinon, Iowa. It's an online college. I will be starting on May 24th. My degree will be Organizational Management/Education. I am so excited! I get to go to college at home!

Their colors are Purple and Gold!

Super Turkey

Well, we finished up our last skit for the semester..."Super Turkey".

A pink flamingo is lamenting about her obnoxious pink feathers and the black ravens wish they were regal like the turkey...After all, there aren't any raven door decorations! Turkeys are everywhere this time of year...in yards, on greeting cards and even on paper plates! Super Turkey comes along and sets them straight about the whole Thanksgiving thing and they realize that they should just be happy with who they are and make the most of what they have....And they all lived happily every after...(after they sang the "Super Turkey" song)!!! Fun, Fun, Fun!!!!

HALLOWEEN ES MUY DIVERTIDO

Mi familia y yo tenemos fabuloso Halloween! Rebekah lleva ropa "hippie", G.P. lleva ropa "nerd" and Molly es senorita bonita! Preston y yo preferimos "goth". Vamos Fiesta Otono en la mi iglesa. Muy divertido!
