Okay
It has been awhile since I have posted to this blog.  It has ben a very busy several months.  I'm also trying to get the blog to post with pictures.  So here goes.  Lisa

Whew!

Wow. Cannot believe how fast time has flown by. Kelcey leaves Tuesday and I will be super sad. Jacy will pick her up from the airport and drop her off at the MTC. I'm sad we cannot see Kelcey off at the MTC but with the shortened exit at the MTC I am glad that Jacy will be dropping her off. I know I will have a hard time at the airport, but at least we can take our time hugging and talking with Kelcey before she leaves. Family are flying in saturday, driving in also. Sunday is kelcey's farewell. Trent has been asked to talk also at her farewell. We will be having an open house door for our ward family and friends and neighbors. Should be a fabulous weekend!!! Kelcey is ready to roll and is so excited to be off. We are so happy that she doesn't have to wait four months till she leaves. The six week difference from her call to leaving is nice.
I was called into the primary presidency a couple of months ago and it has been a blast. The kids are so stinkin cute. I love it. Scout mtgs and pine wood derby and blue and gold banquets. Oh my. Work has been nuts also. I'm subbing like crazy for different positions. Jobs of American graduates experience and working for Washington State University after school. Crazy nutty days but great people to work with. My new job as the English computer lab manager is awesome. The kids are fun and they make me laugh every day! Church ball and temple trips. Life is nuts.
I also have started running these past two months. Started to train and it was very difficult. Not pretty. Headbands and sweat and death! It feels great now and we are all signing up for a 5k during Springfest. I will die but I'm excited. Feeling great! Tired it great!
The kids are doing great. Jacy is loving school and made the deans honor roll last semester. So proud of both of my Girls! The boys are busy with school school school! Trent got his paperwork for his summer job and starts up golf in march. Trevor loves being in ym and he is doing amazing in school.
We all are so blessed and grateful for each other Thankful for a beautiful family. Toodles. Time to go sweat some more listening to my pandora running radio station!

A fab Christmas celebration.

Another Christmas come and gone. The tree was put down on Friday with my helpers. The girls have flown home and the mission call has arrived for Kelcey! I am so blessed with my life. Here are a few pictures of our fun Christmas vacation. happy New Year!

Crafting

What can I say. The crafts being creating are beyond adorable. Cannot wait to give them away at Christmas time! Life is absolutely nuts. Love it!

A fantastic thanksgiving.

Words cannot express how mucho fun thanksgiving was. The cheshire family drove up and we had so much fun together. A yummy brined turkey, fed the missionaries. Bb and soccer at the churchouse with the missionaries and Cheshire family. Games, consequences, ice cream and ketchup! Tya cleaning and organizing my house. Lol. So cute! Rocket launches, bowling, movies, Black Friday deals, hobby lobby crafts, phase ten, life board games. Delicious meals, turkey leftovers, Christmas tree helpers, pictures. Oh boy. So much fun. I love them all so much. First time in six years we had any family visit us on the holidays. We miss our families. Hope your thanksgiving was filled with lovely memories and family love time! Toodles!

A glorious day

Soooooo, today I finally beat Steve at monopoly. I have not beaten him ever in monopoly. He always steps up his game and then he smears me. (With a lot of luck) he seems to always win any game that involves a manly game theme. Risk, Monopoly, etc. I always win with scrabble, phase ten, UNO, it is a little strange but that is how the dice rolls! Ha ha. Hopefully he still will love me even though I SMEARED him in Monopoly! Beat him, hung him up by his toenails, took him to town, etc. Now we get to game loser makeup. The best part of winning!!!

Another week.

Whew. Every week goes so fast. Trevor made the a team at the junior high basketball. We are very proud of him. He gets up at 5 am and Steve drives him to practice at 6 am. I leave at 7;15 and am very thankful that Steve can take him to school. His first game is next week. He is very excited to Be on the top team. Trent has enrolled in a Microsoft IT class and is learning a ton about iMac stations and itip stations and IBM computers. The teacher his is interning for, is teaching him so much. He gets credit and if he works extra hard he can get an extra credit. We were updating his résumé and every little bit of experience helps. Today the principle asked me to sub in the plus classroom and the JAG classroom. WOW. I could never work with those kids every day. Exhausting. The day went smooth until 4th period. There were twenty two of them. Had to call some assistant principals in to take some boys away. Very happy it is the three day weekend. I have some Christmas project crafts to send back at thanksgiving with my sister. So it is even going to be a busier thanksgiving. I even got my visiting teaching done already for nov. yahoo! Feels great! Well toodles.
