Even more busy



Blue and Gold Graduation 2011

Dan, Shawn and Mike



Scout Graduation at Courthouse2011



As you can tell Shawn has Graduated from Webelos to Boy Scouts, he has joined 602 so he can stay with his friends and also because he likes Dan (The troop leader). We are very proud and yes at graduation I did cry, a little. We have had alot going on lately, My best friends little boy, Sonny had to have open heart surgery yesterday, he's only 15 months old and thank goodness he is doing very well. Sonny came off all IV's and the chest tube came out today and they got a room which is very good news!! I go a Government job at the VA in billing, and race season has started once more.

Busy

Okay, so we've been a little busy. Besides being sick (all of us!!)  and Shawn crossing over to Boy Scouts and Robert's racing season starting and I FINALLY  got a government job!!!!! Yeah me! I have been trying to get a job with the government for over a year and finally did it! I start 2/28th.  Besides that we made a trip to Charleston to help a friend move and visit with Dave and Liza and yes they ended up sick also, sorry guys....... But everything looks like it's on the up swing, so let's keep it there. Warm weather is on it's way, I can feel it, I am ready to ride my bike outside instead of sitting in spin class. Weight is down to 202 from 236 and I feel wonderful! I need new shorts for the summer, the ones I have are barley hanging on, which is a good thing!

My 39th Birthday

I had a wonderful day!! I had blueberry waffles with strawberry's and bananas, then headed over to work out with Robert and Shawn. We worked out for about an hour and a half and headed home. Robert rode the bike and I went back out to goodwill to find some exercise clothes. I don't have any shorts that fit, which is a good thing. Saturday night we went out to dinner at Papas and Beer with Annette and Paul. Oh and we have a new couch and love seat thanks to our neighbors, Bill and Donna. I had a wonderful birthday!! My family made it a VERY special day!!

A New Year

Well the new year came and went, Robert want to bed about 9:30, 10:00 on New Years eve and Shawn and I stayed up to watch the ball drop with Dick Clark. Dick and I have a standing engagement every year. I had a fire to wish the old year good bye, very peaceful evening except for the red necks over the hill shooting off the shot guns. The new additions to the family are doing well, we have discovered that Marshmallow is ticklish and is a squeak toy, and Ashlin is just mouthy when she's hungry, they fit in nicely. I think Robert is even enjoying them also.  :) Happy New year, and may it Bring many blessings to all!

Merry day after Christmas

 We had a white Christmas of about 8 inches of snow, I have to say it is beautiful! Well Shawn got several things on his Christmas list, but from Santa he got the biggest present of all, Two Guinea pigs, Marshmallow because she has a brown patch on her butt and Ashlen because she is Gray and White. They are very sweet and like to cuddle. I had a good Christmas also, I got some PJ's , Bath and body works lotion, and new Jeans with a beautiful pink Sweater.  Robert and I cooked a Turkey for Christmas Dinner along with mashed sweet potatoes and corn on the cob, VERY good!

Now I'm Ready!

Went to Knoxville this weekend to ride bikes on the Boulevard and visit with Kenny. After 2 laps around the blvd. Shawn was freezing and decided to go back to the truck. Robert and Kenny rode together and I rode mostly by myself, I did freeze but enjoyed my ride, I ended up with an hour and 20 min. I like riding on the road a lot better than the trainer.  Well all the presents are wrapped and under the tree, even Robert's. I would like to get Shawn one more thing but I don't know if I will be able to or not......I will try this week. I have no clue what Santa is going to bring my boy.....

Almost Ready????

I finally got all the baking done for Cane Creek, Oh my what a weekend. I started baking Saturday morning and didn't quit until Sunday night, ended up with enough goodies for Cane Creek, Liberty, Bill and Donna next door and their daughter and family down the street and two ladies at ups that take care of Robert, I think I did a little to much but oh well at least I could do for people that we care about. Shawn had a snow day from school on Monday so he went to a friend's house and I set out on a mission to get the Christmas shopping complete which is what I did, so I'm all finished with the shopping except for Robert of course, Now all I have to do is wrap the gifts and put them under the tree...........
