Easter

Welll, we went to Stacey's for Easter dinner.... it was a rainy, yucky day in NWA. We tried to take pics before we left... I will post one of Gage while Luke was showering... Then one of the two of them, then the melt down that ended it all... Oh well, my boys...

Luke only has two games this week.. then it is district. we are not having the best season, so let's just hope we make it to the regional tournament...

I have an interview on the 20th for a job in prairie grove. I am pretty much just trying to get some options for next year. I hear good things about prairie grove. It is small like dardanelle... I figure there is a plan for me out there somewhere and I will end up where I am supposed to be.

Luke went to the Razorback game with a buddy the other night.. then mom came to watch gage yesterday and she went with the rest of the family... gage and I took a nap while that was going on...

I have no gossip... Oh, I will say that Bryan lost a friend this weekend. He has had a rough time with it. He sounded really better this morning, but I know that he wishes he could come home... we are in the 70+ day category and believe me, the countdown has begun...

Say a little prayer for B's friend Jason's family and for my job situation...(oh and for Judge Jimmy Hudson from Texarkana, a great man, who is really sick right now!)

Love and Peace

birthday

I forgot to put up a pic of dad from his birthday... So this was his cake....

back to the grind...

A quick update... I will post spring pictures soon!!! We are about to run to dardanelle to surprise Dad for his 65th birthday...WOW!! His birthday isn't until next weekend (4 4 44) but he will be in the Turkey woods...We thought (stacey pointed it out actually) that he might be in the dumps because his friend Billy Don from Prescott passed away and his best friend from high school JD's dad passed away...so we might just give him a surprise.... Anywho...
Spring break is almost over..I am very sad, I don't want to go back to work, but OH WELL>.. I have an interview next weekend, it is just a group interview, like a prescreen so I am not getting too excited...
We woke up yesterday to snow...this is crazy weather here...today it is bright, shiny, and about 50 outside.
Gage peepee'd in his potty yesterday...when it played music he was in shock.. he is so funny...he was dancing to Nogin and then started clapping for himself and took a bow... What a personality he is getting, he loves to mock Luke and do everything he does, which is funny for us, but not for Luke!!!
Luke was in school this week, but he was pretty sick on Friday, so he stayed home... most of his games were cancelled due to our lovely weather...
Oh well, gotta get on the road. Love and Peace

Wow a whole month!

Well, I can't believe it has been a month since I posted.. Lots going on.. taking two classes this semester to keep me busy... baseball has started, and I have been in a big ole' funk.. I added some pics of Gage's 1st visit to chucky cheese.. I took my niece, nephew, gage and a grouchy old Luke to chucky cheese.. don't even know how to spell it!! LOL.. they had fun, kept them occupied for a bit and Gage was most definitely not scared of the big mouse... I have no pics to add of Luke, so I added one he took of the back of his new baseball coat... He is pretty proud. He is getting some JV playing time, which he is satisfied with because he is only a freshman...He is starting to like Farmington a lot more... We just did his schedule for next year... It is PReAP Physical Science, AP Algebra II, Pre AP English, AP World History (a junior class?), hopefully Spanish, Arkansas History/ Baseball, and I think maybe either a keyboarding, AP Geography or a Anatomy and P hysiology class... The electives still have to work themselves out.. He did this all by himself.. tends to like the history classes a lot.. and he might want to be a physical therapist this week, so he is interested in the Anatomy class... Gage is doing well... went "poop" on his potty chair today without me knowing, just came to get me after he climbed on his white sheets with a dirty bottom... don't ask... I bought him some pull ups, so when I get everything together I guess we will start potty training, unless he does it himself in the mean time.. LOL... Bryan made "captain" this week, so yippee for us, higher rank, more pay.. he also crosses his 10 year mark this April so even more fundage comes our way.... I am glad that my husband being gone for 2 of the 3 years that we have been married is worth something,... but I would rather have him home than the money...

My new plan is to exercise, eat right, and tan starting this week... we will see how that works out, it was my plan two weeks ago as well and so far I haven't had the will power to stick with it... OHHHHHHHHH WELLLLL... I guess I better git, got bills to pay, a baby to bathe and it is night night time for me...

Happy Valentines and Birthday Gage

I hope everyone had a great Valetine's Day... Bryan sent me roses and chocolate covered strawberries... they were yummy! I sent him a little box of goodies as well, I put some heart confetti in it to make a good mess for him... LOL, it was great!

After a horrible week, and I do mean horrible... Luke and Gage were both sick on Monday, then Gage was sick all week with high fevers.... I had nobody to hellp take care of him, so I missed even more work... then my friend Mary (bless her heart) came from Gravette to help on Thursday and Mom came up Thursday night and watched him on Friday... we had Gage's party on Saturday... I went a little overboard and had an edible arrangement made and then got a cake from Rick's Bakery and had a sandwich tray... It was just family for the party... we really missed B though...

Oh well, just a quick of update... Hope everyone is great..J

Funny pics

These are funny pics I just got from my friend from college... This is Haley B, she is an insurance person for State Farm in Dallas area, Christie Bingenhiemer, who is a special ed teacher in Maumelle, me and Stephanie who is a teacher at Lakeside in Hotsprings.... We were on our way to a Sig Tau Party at Henderson on this night. I think it was a fall party at the beginning of the year... This is funny, I think Haley is trying to "strike a pose"...

oh well, thought I would share...JB

ahhh

Well, we went back to school/work today... Yipee. It was good to finally get back on schedule and get on track.. I tried to put pics of the storm on, but no luck...
I am working on my classwork and it is HARD this semester. I took a different professor and I am not sure that it was a good decision.
We were only without power a total of 18-24 hours. Most of the people at work were just getting theirs back yesterday and today....I couldn't even imagine that.
I hope everyone is warm and safe. More updates later.
