Hello Spring!

I know it appears as if we have been avoiding posting due to an unexpected and unpleasent February 3rd - but not true. We actually have been very busy. A brief rundown and then I will share random pics.

• The Superbowl actually made us sick, bronchitis and ear infections for myself then Charlie, Terry then Sadie. We missed a lot of work and school!
• Terry, Charlie and I met Riss & Brad in Big Bear for a weekend of snow fun.
• Sarah is playing basketball at school this year and has only 1 game left, then maybe they make the playoffs. Yesterday they played a team I do not like, the girls are very agressive at St. Anthony's and a few weeks ago broke a girls finger on Sarah's team. The girls lost yesterday but Sarah had half the teams points and her 1st three-pointer. Very exciting!
• Mom and Dad took Sarah & Sadie for a night on the town to dinner and a show, They watched Peter Pan the musical at the San Bernardino Theatre. Both of the girls enjoyed it very much. Sarah had seen Wicked back in October and was itching to go again. Sadie's job was to make sure Grandpa stayed awake, I think she accomplished that.
• Allyson is running track for Apple Valley High School. Her first meet was last week and ran the mile in 7.06 and then 800 where she came in second. Terry is so excited she is running, that was his thing in high school. I don't think I'd run if someone stole my purse.
• Sadie is playing tennis again after taking a year off. Her first match is this coming Saturday.
• Riss and I took a scrapbooking class together and made the cutest acrylic Valentine Love books - I loaded mine full of black and white pics of Terry and I during the last 4-5 years.
• Cameron has been riding his dirst bike every chance he gets and when he is not doing that he and a bunch of neighborhood kids build dirt jumps for their bikes. A whole pack of them will take off for the nearest empty space with shovels in their hands.
• Charlie has been very 2 1/2. Terry said he is too old for a 2 year old. His favorite things now are digging dirt (especially where Daddy doesn't want him too), watching Buzz & Woody, eating and pretty much doing whatever it is he feels like at the time. If he doesn't get to do it he will throw a fit and try and kick you. We have experienced a LOT of timeouts right now. Man can that boy get pissed, terrible temper.
• I am busy with work and shuffeling the kids around to practices, dentist appts and the Dr's lately. I am also helping get ready for the huge St. Pat's Dinner and Dance our school puts on every year.
• Terry is well. Busy with work and then he rides his dirtbike as often as he can too.
• We made our reservations for Memorial Weekend in Ohio - can't wait. I hope as many people come as possible.
• We also made our reservations for summer vacation too. We are going back to San Diego this year.
• We had great weather this weekend so we worked in the yard. I pulled out all of the old bark in the front flowerbeds and laid new stuff. What a big difference. I weeded and feeded my flowers from bulbs and the roses that are newly sprouting. I also bought 2 spring pots full of tulips and spring mix flowers to set by the front door. Terry & Cameron weeded the backyard and planted some new plants. Charlie "helped".
