    Yes. I was the one sitting there with 8 kids I was taking care of! I actually live in Redmond, OR, but was there with my four kids taking care of four other kids. So there were 4 extra kids that aren't generally there. I am sorry I didn't get to meet you.

    Ask Philip.
    by turner120995 at 09/04/08 1:18PM

I AM NPT PREGNANT, NOR DID I HAVE A BABY BOY!

For all of you gullible enough to believe the ones responsible for starting a RUMOR, not of it is true.

It is however true that I have not been on since last fall. Hey it is almost fall again, so I could actually leave those pictures on and they would be okay. HA~!

I will try to post new pics if I can do it without my whole computer freezing every time I do anything with a picture. I think I found a way around that though.

The older 3 girls are all at camp so it is just me, Jim,and Lexie, very strange.
  • turner120995
    So that's why you actually had time to get online!

    Aw, thanks. It is hard to believe she is married and in three years, my oldest will be at FC.
    by jbtope at 08/12/08 2:59PM

I am FINALLY updating for all of you that have been asking!!

I LOVE FALL!!!

I took the kids to Drake Park to take these pictures today and then we went to see a movie. We saw the movie "Game Play" very cute, funny, and most of all CLEAN! We were supposed to pick up Lacey's Cello, but the guy called and said he was out of stock and would call us when he got one in. She starts Cello this week and is very excited. Tomorrow I will take Lindsey and Lauren to go view some property that a family has offered to us to keep sheep on for 4-H. They have even offered to build a shelter for them. The girls, especially Lauren is "over-the-moon" about this. It means a huge commitment from Jim and I (mostly me) to take them to the property (about 15 minutes away) twice a day to feed the lambs. They will have to get up early enough before school to go over and feed them and then go in the evening again, plus allow time to work with them, but this is the one thing that Lauren has missed so much about not living on property. Next year she will be able to drive herself there. Lexie continues to love pre-school. The other day, however I got her new "Princess" (Cinderella)shirt out for her to wear and she said, "but the other kids will make fun of me if I wear Princess". Very sad at her age to be worrying about it. Nobody is over 4 in her class. Sigh!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Tuesday was the first day for the oldest three. Lauren started high school, Lindsey started middle school,and Lacey started 4th grade. yesterday was Lexie's first day of Pre-K, she has more pictures because she was having so much fun in front of the camera. Her second day is on here too, because she thinks now we need to take pictures of all of her new clothes before school.

  • mom247365
    I used to do that too. I went out to the bus stop yesterday, in my bathrobe to take pictures of Danny and Pete, but my flash wouldn't work and it was overcast so the pictures are pretty inferior. Then the bus came and I had to hide behind a big rhodedendrn (i wonder if my huge leapord print robe was visible. Oh the things we moms do when we have photo opps.

    by mellymc at 10/11/07 3:56PM
  • kristiegore
    I didn't know Candee worked for you...we were room mates my freshmen year at FC. I will have been married two years on Oct. 22nd. My husband is Fred Gore, we're doing great. We live in the Nashville TN area and we love it here, we just moved here about a month ago. I'm working at a Dr.'s office and Fred is doing temp work while he's studying for his actuary exam. A recruiter found him and is putting him through actuarial classes and once he takes the exam and passes he's guaranteed a job with one of the firms he recruits for in Nashville. He'll be starting the new job sometime in Dec, he takes his exam at the end of Nov. So, how are you doing? What do you do?
