So it is ball time again. This year Brandon and Zachary are playing ball. This is Zachary’s 1st year and he is loving it! He is so cute on the field. I can’t wait until his first game on the 19th.
Brandon is in his 7th yr of ball. I am excited to watch his first game on Saturday. His games are so exciting, I really get into watching them.

We sold our camper this year. We keep toying with the idea of buying another one. It is a hard decision to make with all the boys active in something. I feel like there will be no time to go camping. Brad is looking on Craig’s list right now at campers. I guess we will see if we find one that we just can’t live without.

I am still Andrew’s den leader for his scout den. He is still loving that. It keeps us busy. He just raced in the district pine wood derby on Saturday. We were unable to find out how he placed. :( He did have fun there. I guess that is all that counts.
I am also still and Independent Sales Rep. for Avon. I enjoy it. I love meeting and talking will everyone. Can you believe it? Shy me like talking with new people. It surprises me too.
I have one more month tutoring with Whiz Kids. I really enjoy doing that every week. I have really bonded with the child I tutor. I will miss that.
I seem to be real busy. How can I have time to take off and go camping? I guess we will see.

Brad is still working at Ak. Same ole same ole with him.

That is all that is going on this spring so far.

OK, so I am really slacking on this. I had hoped to be better at posting but I guess not.

Here is what is going on here.
We sold our pop-up camper in hopes to find a bigger and better one. I found a layout that I really like, but finding it used seems to be a problem. We will keep looking.

Brandon is now in the 7th grade. He is almost as tall as me. His last visit he was 5′2″. He is in band again playing the trumpet.

Andrew is in 2nd grade. He is doing real well so far. He is now a Wolf in Cub Scouts and loving it.

Zachary will be starting his 3rd year of pre-school this week. I think he will like it once he gets use to the new school. I am pretty excited about it. I think it will really help him out. I just hope it doesn’t take him until January to start to talk to his teachers.

Brad is still at AK. The blast furnace is finally up and running and he is back to the normal work schedule. Which is real nice.

I am still selling Avon and loving it. I have met a lot of nice people. I am Andrew’s Den Leader for his scout den. I hope the boys really have fun this year. This month we have a lot planned.

I think that is about all that is going on right now. Nothing real exciting.

Okay, so it has been what 2 years since the last update? I have so busy I kind of forgot about this site.

Lets see. Things that are going on now…
Brandon plays baseball in the Cal Ripken league at FYBA , he has had more rain outs then games I think. He is also in Band. He had his last band concert this week (he plays the trumpet). They sounded great. much different from the first concert.

Andrew is plays coach pitch at FYBA. He seems to really like it. He has only had 1 hit so far this year, but he doesn’t give up. This is his first year with FYBA(well not really, we tried when he was 4 but he wouldn’t participate so we pulled him out). Last year we signed him up at the Y it was much different then FYBA. He does seem to enjoy it.
Andrew is also in Cub Scouts. He is a Tiger Cub now, he will be crossing over next week to a Wolf.

Zachary is having his pre-school graduation tonight. He is very excited about his program. He wants to wear a tie and everything. He will be going to a kindergarten readiness program in the fall at a different school. We feel that he isn’t quite ready for kindergarten. He is so shy it takes him a long time before he will talk to anyone. I don’t want him to struggle. I hope this extra year really helps.

Lets see…. I am Andrew’s Den Leader for scouts. That is fun. I really enjoy it, Andrew and I get our time together.
I have been selling Avon for 2 1/2 years now and loving it. I have made Presidents Club both years! Now I am working on building my team. I have 6 downline right now. I hope to get more so I can win a cruise. Keep your fingers crossed for me. If you would like to sell Avon contact me and I will set you up. :)

I will try to update more often. I got discouraged when I was having problems posting pictures way back then. I hope that I can get back into posting again. I will try… Read the rest of this entry »

We went on another camping trip in September. We went with some family and friends. We had such a great time. We had a great bunch of poeple that camped and some that just came to hang out for a few hours with us. We had 3 sites that were all next to each other. Our friends Gina, Jeff and Jon camped next to us, next to them were Joe, Lizzy and Joe’s friend in a tent then Dad and Teri in the camper. We all had such a great time. There were lots of dogs too. I think there were more dogs then children. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

This is the puppies. The boxer is our friend Megan and Mike’s dog. The black dog is Marie’s new puppy. Andrew and Lizzy just loved playing in Joe’s dog cage. Don’t ask me why but it was entertaining for them. Teri loved the boxer!

Zachary was wiped out! Here is Dad and Jon having some fun!

This is Jon, Teri, Gina and myself.
Like I said we all had such a great time! I hope that we can do it again sometime.
