Ok, so here are things I would have loved to post about today but have no picture to go with it....
1. Landon and I did world wrestling on the trampoline tonight. I found out my body does not move as well as his!
2. We have 3 baby kitties on our front porch that are strays. I want to keep them because they are so dang cute but I know they grow into cats.
3. Shelbie has been dressing up all week for Red Ribbon Week. Today was 80's day. What fun! I did her hair big and she had the typical 80's clothes on. Crazy day was yesterday. I told her to go as herself...ha ha ha ha. Pajama day was Monday. Tomorrow is Twin Day I think.
4. I fell 3/4 of the way down our stairs two days ago. My bruised butt would be a fun picture to post. Uh yeah.....
5.Landon carved his pumpkin today. It's a small one. Very cute. He cleaned out the seeds on the front porch and then he wanted to bake them. I said not since they were on the dirty porch!
Lots of fun life stuff!

3 Amigos
Here we are...the 3 Amigos. Carrie, Alicia and I. We have been friends for years. What blessings from God! These girls have shown me the true meaning of friendship. They each have a special place in my heart with their name written all over it. Thank you girls for being the other 2 in the "3" Amigos. I love you!!
Happy 40th Birthday Carrie!
Her birthday came and went...just like that. She is the first of us girls to turn 40!
My friend, Carrie.
Here she is sporting her new moomoo and holding her attends. Oh what glorious things to look forward to!
I met Carrie in 1996. We have been friends ever since. We've seen each other through a lot of life's up and downs. We continue to be friends...forever and ever I say.
Because we are so dang busy these days it doesn't seem like I get much time to talk to her anymore. But, we clean a house together every other week. I look forward to this day because it's our chance to talk and catch up. Cleaning goes way faster when you have a friend to talk to!

Timberline
Not long ago we went to Timberline Steak and Grill. Landon picked out the place to eat. Wanna know why he picked there? Because you can shell nuts and throw the shells on the floor. He thinks this is way cool. He could never do this at home of course!!
Carrie turns 40!
It's depressing......not that Carrie turned 40....but that I don't have any pictures of her from her party. That day was such a busy day with Tim's eye surgery and then the homecoming parade that I totally forgot my camera for her party.
Alicia and I of course had to vandalize her house in the middle of the night. It was pretty minor but still fun. And, it's hard to get pictures in the dark.
I am gonna get a picture of her and I from someone else. This post will come later.
I did it!
Yesterday was day 31 of going to the gym. Today is my offical day of rest. It felt wierd to not go but I was so ready for the break. Anyhoo...I'm proud of myself for stickin' to it. It wasn't too hard actually once I got into the routine of going every day. I did learn that I work out best at night. My energy level is pretty low in the afternoon and in the morning I'm thinking too much about what I need to be doing at home. So, working out at night is the best for me. I also proved to myself that I can stick to a goal. So....I'm pretty happy with myself right now!!

Reading
Laura
This is the book I just finished. It took me quite a while to finish it. Not because I didn't like it but because I'd read a little here, a little there. It was a really good book, one I'd recommend.
I just got a couple new ones to read so tonight I will start one.

Awww...
You don't really realize how much they've grown until you see old pictures of them. Since I'm using Tim's old laptop right now I was looking through some old pictures. It's fun to do because he has different pictures on his than I do on mine. These two pics that he scanned were two favorites of mine. I wish the quality were better on here. But, aren't they just adorable?

Quick updates
So...here's a quick update if anyone cares....
Tim had his Lasik eye surgery. All went well. He can see 20/20 now. He said I could have it done too but I'm not sure. Not only is it a lot of money but it involves eye balls which gross me out. I don't think I want to deal with the itchy irritation of healing and not being able to rub my eyes either.
On the same day he had his surgery we had our 16 year anniversary. Time flies. It does seem like last year that we were having babies and sending them to kindergarten and buying our first home and all that jazz.
The kids have been dealing with strep throat. Yuck. I hope not to get it too.
The same day as the anniversary and the surgery was Carrie's 40th birthday party. That was a lot of fun. I would like to have partied a little harder and stayed later but I got home to check on the sick kid and recovering husband and then head to the gym.
The same day yet again was homecoming. I wanted to go to the game too, which was a blowout, but there is only so much you can do in one day. Landon was in the parade. He was excited about that.
Saturday's soccer game was good. Shelbie didn't like me making her play goalie (no one else would do it and I told her to take a turn). Someone scored a goal on her and we had lost the game by one. Therefore, she said the reason they lost was because of her. Gosh, how to build this girl's confidence? It's lacking I'm afraid. I'm sure it was a bad coaching (if you'd call it that) decision but my Alicia didn't show up. PUNK!!
Landon's football game was in Hutchinson. After we did the soccer game we bolted to Hutch for his game. They lost but again it's experience and they do love to play.
Today is day 21 of going to the gym EVERY FRIGGIN DAY. Halleluia I only have 9 more days until I get a break. Have I seen results? NO. Have I felt good about stickin to it? YES. Is my body tired? YES. Do I want to keep going forward towards 60 days? NAH. I'm tired. I need a day off.
As usual, my house feels messy, laundry is behind and we've been lacking on good nutrious homemade meals. But, I have to say 2 things. Tim helps out. He's been picking up the slack and I appreciate it. Also, I love going to work. I love the work I'm doing. I love the elderly people that I work with. I've never felt this way about a job before. And that means a lot.
I've taken pictures of all these updates I type about but until I get back on my own laptop you'll just have to wait! I think I will order my powercord now.

It's been forever...
Yes, I know it's been forever since I've blogged anything. My laptop powercord went on the blink. So, right now I'm using Tim's old laptop he brought home from work. Just a few highlights that I need to blog about but won't until I get my laptop up and running....
1. Today was day 15 of going to the gym every day. It's been a struggle a few of the days to get there but for the most part it's just part of my normal day now. Granted, I don't always have a hard workout but walking on the treadmill for 20 min and then doing some stomach crunches feels good too. I figure it's all helping even though I see no results. Ya...you heard me...NO RESULTS. In fact, this morning I weighed 2 pounds heavier than last week. Ugh. But, I have to say I am proud of myself for sticking to this goal because darn it, it's hard.
2. I have pictures from Landon's last football game and Shelbie's last soccer game to post.
3. Tim's eye surgery is coming up on Friday. Do you think they'd let me photograph it? Kidding...I have no desire to do that. Gross.
4. I finally got to meet Cameron. He's our Bethel College football player that we are hosting. Yesterday he hung out for hours. Maybe he'll let me take his pic sometime for a blog just about him.
5. Shelbie had her first middle school dance! I had to work that night..bummer. But, I instructed her dad to take a picture of her beforehand. She had a great time. I need to blog about that too.
6. I'm so far behind. I know there are other things I've missed but I am sleepy and now have to sleep.
**Thanks Michelle for the concern about me being absent from my blog. I got your email. Yes, I am fine. Now, you have my explanation of where I've been.**
