THE deal of the day!!!!

Yesterday Kim shared a great deal of the day...a table of books at Barnes and Nobles for $2!!!

Well, I decided that I wanted to check this deal out and headed over there this morning (armed with my gift card and my list of books I have read!) I was ready to buy some books!!! Well, when I got there I couldn't find the $2 table anywhere because there were 3 tables that were marked $1 each for only 3 days...so I texted Kim to make sure I had understood her correctly and when she heard she came right over!!! We ended up choosing 32 books!!!!! AND we ended up paying only 90 cents each because of a discount card!!! We were very happy girls walking out of that store with our 4 bags of books!!!!!! LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Collin is a climber!!!

You know how kids love to climb? Well Collin has learned how to climb up on chairs and tables and gosh he is always on top of something!!!

He even defys gravity!!!

Time...

Okay so this is what happened last night with my blog...I wanted to write about how I feel like time is going so fast that I don't seem to be able to keep up...but after writing the blog twice and feeling like I was just whining I decided to skip it...and after deleting the 2nd one I signed out...and didn't realize that I had not deleted the title!!!! Thanks Matt for filling in for me, it was actually what I was feeling but couldn't write!!! From now on YOU can write my blog for me!!!
I got 4 responses from just a title!!! Not too bad!!!
Well it is Sunday again and the race will begin again tomorrow!!! Hope I win!!!

Time....

Lydia's Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYDIA!!!

Molly and I left Anderson at 8:30am on Saturday morning to go to Sacramento for Lydia's party! We got there at about 11am and it was so nice to get to spend some time with the family before the party began! Riley, Drew and Collin arrived at 1pm, (they had been with their Aunt Marcy and family in Old Sacramento, shopping for her birthday!) Family friends arrived and the party began! It was very low key with the kids just playing together and eatting all of the snacks that Lydia had chosen! Dave made the frosting for the cake and frosted it....great job dad! I have to say it is hard to believe that our Lydia is 7 years old already. I recall so clearly the night she was born! She is a sweet little girl and she really seemed to enjoy her day! They go to San Francisco to celebrate with the park group there on Monday morning! The cookies formed into Lydia's name was made by Molly...mmmm!

Riley, Drew and Collin came home with us and we got home just in time for me to attend the Rotary Crab Feed at the fairgrounds!!! MMMMM, Crab!!!

Friday Fun...

So, Molly and I had so much fun today!!! NOT...we sorted and shred 7 large boxes of paperwork from Les' old office...we should have taken a picture of all of the mess but we really just wanted to get through it all!!! It actually was so much that it filled to the top our recycle can and then there was one bag that wouldn't fit in the can so we put it into the garbage...the boxes and all of the other stuff that wasn't shredded are a mountain of garbage! We quit at about 3pm...Molly doesn't like to shred paper any more!!!
Tomorrow we are traveling to Sacramento for Lydia's birthday party!!! She will be 7 years old...that is so hard to believe. Where does the time go? They grow up way too fast!

Grandma...I'm Bored...

When as adults can we ever really be bored??? I know that even if I am feeling a type of bored there is soooo much that needs to be done that it really isn't bored that I am feeling, it is not wanting to do the necessary stuff!!! I would love to be able to think "I am bored" and looking around to see that my world is so completly in order that I REALLY AM BORED!!!! and I can't figure out one thing to change that!!!! Anyway...Molly has just told me that she is bored and this is what came to my mind!!! She doesn't want to read her book or give Daisy a bath for me so I guess she will just have to be bored!!!!

Here are some pictures that are from some of the stuff we did since Les' birthday in October!!! Hope I don't bore you!!!! We went to Jacks' for Les' dinner.

We had a Christmas Program in which Riley read the Christmas Story and Drew and I sang a duet...she stole the show of course! We went to a wedding and then we had a fun Family Christmas time with Jen and girls here!!! Oh and Riley had a field trip to a rest home...Collin stole the show there with his cuteness in his overalls!

It isn't easy getting a picture of 6 kids at one time!!!
