My babies are growing up!

Hard to find time to get on here - much less come up with something to say! Tori is absolutely lovin school and grades are great....volleyball has officially came to and end - WOOT!
She loves playing but I think we were both ready for a little break.

Looking thru some pics and cant believe how much Bogie has grown! He's a good dog - but lemme tell ya, it is NOT fun walking him in FREEZING weather!

A few pics and I'll next time I will do better and not have such a lame post :)

    Thanks, Tracy! :) I think there's a reason Paul tells us in Phil. 4 to look forward and not back...life shouldn't be lived in regrets!

    The freezer on bottom looks nice, unfortunately it's a bit out of our budget price range. For now, I think I'll stick with the freezer on top. I've heard a lot of people complain about the narrow width of the side-by-side. Thanks for your input! :)

    by karaashley at 08/18/08 11:44PM

I'm still here!!

Been forever since I've been on and tried to update. Hopefully, things will slow down a bit this summer! Rodee and Tori just got back from camp. I'm not sure who loves it more - they both come back and have many, many stories to tell. Glad they enjoy it and have something to do together every year. Tori claims it was the BEST YEAR EVER - who agrees?

She surprised everyone (including me) and played drums in the talent show with "The Bruns Seven". Sherridon video taped it for me - they did a great job! (I'm not prejudice at all) Heard all the screaming when Rodee did his moonwalk moves across the floor - go figure!

Had a going away party for Danny who is moving to California. We will miss him greatly and wish him the very best of luck. I will post pics when I can figure out what I did wrong in uploading :)

MOUNTAIN VIEW YOUTH FORUM will be held the weekend of July 11 - 13th - hope we see all of you there!! I will post the flyer on here as it becomes available.

SCAREDY CAT

So, its 3am on Wednesday morning. I'm sound asleep in my warm bed when I hear Bogie, our puppy, barking ferociously. Next thing I hear is Tori running in my room with dog in arms saying "Mom, someone is outside my bedroom window". I sat up and told her I was sure no one was outside her window, the dog just heard something and it scared him. Her whole body was shaking and she was adamant that someone was out there -- because she SAW a shadow, heard a thump and then they bent down. I'm out of my bed now looking out all windows in the house. I see nothing but she's begging me to call 911 because she knew what she saw. Rodee says "Call 911". I'm on the phone with the dispatcher as I'm walking around the house, pass by Tori's room and I SEE A SHADOW!!! I get on my knees and peek thru the blind and there sitting on the window sill is my INDOOR CAT who must have escaped before bedtime. She is banging on the window wanting in... I tell the dispatcher to call off the troops - we've found the intruder. I tell Rodee to go out and get the cat and the dispatcher screams "NO ONE is to step foot outside those doors until an officer has arrived" Her next question was do you have any weapons - to which I wish I had at that moment! Troops arrived and next thing I see are not one, not two but THREE police cars shining bright lights on both sides of our street looking for the "intruder". I'm standing outside in my PJ's trying to convince the cop to call it off because we know who the shadow was. He wanted to seach the premesis but luckily listened when I started laughing.............back asleep about 4:30 this morning and I can ASSURE you I will check to make sure the cat is in before going to bed tonight!!

IS THIS TALENT.....OR WHAT????

One of my fave's from AI -- He blew my socks off with this song!



This is my second choice -- and he's from BUCKHEAD!!!


  • mjunut
    I voted for both of them. Also, a couple of others. I loved carlie last night. Love Brook and liked the song. I thought simon was going to rip her a new one but he liked it better than me! I thought she did good just wasn't a great song. I felt very very very sorry about Amanda. Was she sick?

    Did you say bow now or bow wow? Grant is still not over the fact that we spent 22$ on a $2.69cent fish.
    by mjunut at 02/28/08 9:32PM
  • mjunut
    I explained to him that when Mr. Winne passes on, we can get another $2.69 cent fish. A few fish from now we will break even. You get about 100,000 tiny pellets for 2.49 and he only eats 2 a day. How many fish will that take? Who knows?
