How to train a Husband

I couldn't believe it this morning when Bill is tearing apart the house looking for.... the keys to my parents car we were to return this morning!!! Really after three months of them letting us borrow the car because our transmission blew before they left. 3 months of telling him NOT to touch the keys he goes and looses them. Needless to say it was an eventful morning. I went to work after a wonderful brunch at my middle sis's. When I got home I cooked a pizza and went to get the pizza cutter and whamo bammo there were the keys in the silverwear drawer. Really how does this happen?! I really feel like the universal just likes to screw with me once in awhile. So we will be sending the keys back to my parents. Dad reassured me that they have and extra set. THANK YOU MOM AND DAD FOR THE CAR I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Cole's been accepted!!

It's official and I can finally sleep! Cole has been accepted to attend University of Wisconsin Platteville! This is what we have been fighting for. He will be entering the criminal justice program. I hope he stays with this degree. He has to sign his letter of intent to play football and the it's up to him to make the team. He's really excited but of course being the cool bean he is he's trying no to show it.

Spring has sprung!

Kyle got a new glove, Cole got new track shoes and Clay is talking soccer. It must be spring. Cole is well into track. He has his first meet the week after spring break. Kyle has a baseball practice all week and Clay has no plans at this time. It's time to break out my big red chair so I can sit and relax while I watch the boys. I love this time of year! Got the kids grades. I'm proud of all three. I can say no D's or F's and just a few C's (none for Cole). Now if we can just get the college to say yes. Everyone say a short prayer our way. Thanks!

Happy 5th Birthay Caleb!

We hopr you have a terrific day! Wish I could go to the soccer game with you! Hope you enjoy Mom and Dad's gift. Ours is on the way. Have a great one buddy we love lots.

Happy St. Birthday Cole! 18 ! March 17th!

It's amazing where the time went! I can't believe Cole's 18 today (Actually I'm writting this one day early.) Off to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight to celebrate. Hopefully he buys a lottery ticket on the luckiest day of the year.

Clayton's Birthday Party

Last night Clay had his birthday party at the Ramada Inn. He had 7 boys over and 5 stayed over night. There also was a Mighty Might hockey tournament staying there so there were a ton of little boys and they all had a great time. Poor Bill. After I left one of the little boys had a squirt gun slip out of his hands and it hit one of the other little boys and split his lip. This morning another one woke up throwing up. They also would not stop talking until after 1:30 am. Bill came home this morning exhausted. I just had to chuckle.

Happy 10th Birthday Clayton James!

Clay had a wonderful and busy day today. He had us make puppy chow for his class. His brothers were quite upset that they were not allowed to eat any. We met Aunt Denise and Bailey and Afton after school. Afton's birthday is Monday so we went to go get her fish for her new aquarium. Boy the tough decisions. We bought her about 6 and then we have to wait a week to make sure everything goes well and then she can get some more. Bill of course could not say no to Clayton on his birthday so we brought home some gold fish. After the pet store we went to Noodles and Company for supper. Cold stone creamery cupcakes and sandwiches were dessert. Tough day for a 10 year old.

He says to make sure I tell everyone thank you for the presents he has really enjoyed getting the mail and the cards. Thank you everyone for everything.
