Skating

In case you haven't read Lindsey's Blog. She and some of her friends went Roller Skating with there teacher, Mr. Whitman. They had a lot of fun, and the skating rink is so close. I can't wait to go back and skate for myself.

Here's a video of Lindsey Skating.

I went out tonight to do Kareoke, and I sang Santa Baby. Everyone really liked it.

That's it for now. it's late, and I gotta get the kids in bed.

New Design

So my sister-in-law is like super woman or somthing. She's going to school (taking more classes then me no doubt), Has three boys to take care of, keeps her house in shipshape, has time to change her blog design, AND she's about to have a baby girl!

Anways, trying to follow her wonderful example, I decided to spruce up my blog for the holidays. Tell me what you think. Most of the stuff is from Cutest Blog on the Block, but I hope to eventually make my own stuff.

And just because my mom couldn't do it, here are some pictures ;-)

Here is Lindsey before my concert. (She's so proud of her mom!)

And here is Westley playing with Uncle Greg (one of Jason's cousins)

Story of the Belated Brithday

I'm taking an English class at the local JC. We are doing a research paper, and we were supposed to have our first rough draft at class last night. I spent all week working hard on that paper, finding books on the subject, and putting it all together. I was pretty proud of my paper, ready to have it critiqued by the other students. I went to class last night, and as always there was a warm-up question to write about. It happened to believe about the Declaration of Independence. I put my name on my paper, and asked the person sitting next to me if they knew the date. "It's December 4th". OMG it's my brother's Birthday, and I totally didn't find out if I could call him or anything. I'm such a horrible sister. I thought maybe Jared would understand, seeing as his wife is also taking classes, so he would kinda know how it is when you're focusing on a paper. I refocused on class, even mentioning "my brother in Iraq" in my writing, when talking about "the people have the right to ...abolish [the government]"
After the warm up writing, the professor gave us our next essay assignment, and sent us on our way. No peer review. GAH! how am I going to know if my paper is any good? So not only am I a horrible sister for forgetting my [older] brothers birthday, but now I have to stress out even more about my paper, because I have no feed back. In the words of one Charlie Brown "GOOD GRIEF!"

So Anyways, I hope you read this Jared, because I do wish you a happy (belated) birthday. We love and miss you, and know you are doing good over there, and you are protected.
And maybe you'll forgive me one day for being a horrible sister.
