So far I've been having a great spring break with Katie and Ben! We got them Sunday night. Monday we went to Chucky Cheese. Today we went to a bouncy place called Wazoo's, and tomorrow we plan to go bowling. :) Spoiled spoiled. ;) Then I take them back home to mom and dad on Wednesday. Thursday I have lots of errands to run, like renewing my army ID card, getting an oil change, and stuff like that, but then I'm going to pamper myself to a pedicure. Looking forward to it, especially since it's getting closer to sandal weather! :) Friday is girls day with mom and the sisters, and Saturday we plan to go to the rodeo and Randy Rogers concert. fun fun! Spring Break goes by too quickly. It needs to be at least 2 weeks long. haha :)

Jesse is getting closer and closer to "retiring" out of the army. Wish him luck!! He is planning to attend school when he gets out. We are excited about all the changes, but a little nervous too. It is looking like he will possibly be out by the end of June if everything goes as planned, but with the army, you never know. So we are just going with the flow, trying to do what's needed in the process.

Have a wonderful week. ♥

Aww, I am glad you guys are having fun with the kiddos! JEALOUS! Actually, I would probably be worn out after 4 days of trying to entertain them...lol :) They're fun so I'm glad I get to see them at the end of this week!
On Wednesday when you bring the kids home, are you just going to stay in town, or are you going back to Killeen? If you're going back to Killeen, when do you plan to come to mom and dad's for fun times?

That sounds like a lot of fun! Kids are great! I want to see the Randy Rogers Band....love them! Hope everything works out with Jesse's retirement!! :)

Spring

at 03/10/10 7:29AM

Awe, spring is near. :) Spring is probably my favorite season. I love the weather, the flowers, the sunshine. (The snow was an awesome treat! But one full day was plenty.) The only negative thing about Spring is that it's TAKS season in 3rd grade, and boy is it TAKS season....it's pretty much all we ever do at school. And it wouldn't be so bad if all my students were doing just fine, but they're not. So that's discouraging. :(

Good thing SPRING BREAK is sooooooon!!! :) I am ready!

Some of the things I am hoping to do over Spring Break (not sure of my exact plans yet, but these are things I'm hoping to do)-

Marcus & Jenny's wedding, Extreme Bull Riding (watching not riding lol) & Eli Young Band at the Austin Fair & Rodeo, hang out with my Katie, Ben, & Carter, spend a girls weekend shopping and relaxing with my mom and si st ers, sleeeeeeep in, get a mani and pedi & hair highlighted, spend some time with my Granny & Papa....awe, sounds so nice......

Jesse and I just joined a gym this week. About a year ago, I was a member at Curves. It was pretty good at first, but got old fast, and was definitely too expensive for what they offer. I had pretty much stopped going after about 6 months and it was just a waste of money. I talked to Jesse about joining a gym so that we could go TOGETHER. It's a lot more motivation when we are both in it together. So there's this really great gym only about 10 minutes from our house with lots to do and lots to offer. There was no joining fee, no contract, and only $20 a month. They have all the machines you need, a gym, and even include classes, like zumba, pilates, yoga, and jazzercize. Totally worth $20 in my opinion!! Jesse and I checked out a volleyball yesterday and were playing around. It was so much fun. I love that sport, and I haven't played in so long. :( The gym also offers recreational sports leagues, including volleyball, so I am thinking about trying to get together a team!

Also, I heard on the radio that Phantom of the Opera will be in Austin soon at the Bass Concert Hall, and I'm really hoping to go to that. Anyone ever been? I heard that it was neat, but when I told Jesse about it, he asked if I could stay awake through the whole thing!

Have a great day. "This is the day the Lord hath made. We shall rejoice and be glad in it."

Yay Spring! And yay Spring Break! BOO TAKS!

Sounds like you have a busy Spring Break planned! We are kicking it off with a soccer game on Saturday and then I hope to be able to get lots of little projects done around the house that I just haven't had time for and to reward myself for getting these things done (and Josh for getting all of his papers graded) we are talking about going to Sea World on Thursday. =) I have only been once before and it was lots of fun and Ethan has been begging to go for awhile!

by sherry_everett at 03/10/10 8:38AM
If you go to Phantom I would suggest you make sure you know the plot before going in, as it is a "sung-through" musical (no spoken dialogue) and if you don't know what's happening, you can get lost easily.

by babyface at 03/10/10 11:52AM
Hooray for spring!

by beckyd at 03/10/10 12:01PM
LOVE LOVE LOVE Phantom of the Opera. I saw it in Houston!! Sounds like fun spring break plans!

by cmdl at 03/10/10 1:45PM

by csusoftballgirl at 03/11/10 7:13AM
The music is SOOOO beautiful and you have heard most of it, probably. I would definitely go, if I could!

by iloveponds at 03/11/10 7:14AM

Just life =)

at 03/05/10 9:25PM

You know what's LIFE? Mom just called to wake me up and her first words were, "Congratulations, Mama! Cheyenne just had her baby!" Now that's life!

by kalawi at 03/06/10 5:20AM
You make me smile!

by misslynn at 03/06/10 10:15AM
Yay! Looking forward to being near the Windham family. :-) Not sure where I'm going to be working, but would love to get on with Leander ISD! We definitely plan to visit Cedar Park.

It snowed!!!!!

Check out my facebook for pics. :)

Glad you had fun in the snow!! We did too! Be careful going to school in the morning- especially over that big bridge!

by sherry_everett at 02/23/10 9:39PM

by pistal77 at 02/23/10 9:50PM

by kalawi at 02/24/10 8:18AM

by juliagulia at 02/24/10 8:19AM
Snow yesterday, sunny today! :)

by kendralulu at 02/24/10 8:40AM
Here one day, gone the next - that is Texas snow!

by misslynn at 02/24/10 3:55PM
We loved it !

by ewalker at 02/24/10 5:26PM
Jacob loves that beanie! ~ Did you get to play in the snow? ~ Jenna called me tonight and she's in town. She will probably call you.

by kendralulu at 02/25/10 7:53PM
Thanks :)

I LOVE the pictures of all the snow!

by lindsey at 03/01/10 12:57AM
Hey, I was wondering if Jenna got in touch with you when she was here?

by kendralulu at 03/03/10 5:59AM
I gave her the number I have (I think it's the updated one). Anyway, Travis, Jenna & Jayden came over last Friday. We took the kids to the park and it was so much fun!

by kendralulu at 03/04/10 2:37PM
It worked out really well for Jacob and especially for me having a c-section & all. :)

by kendralulu at 03/05/10 7:36AM

oh, just an update

at 02/22/10 5:39PM

Sunday I went with Chrystal and Chris to go see cirque du soleil in Cedar Park. It was so neat!! It made me wish I could still do all those gymnastics tricks I used to be able to do when I was young and in shape. lol Some of those people could do some crazy things!! There were moments when I literally gasped for air!

Now I am really really hoping that it will SNOW tomorrow! I read on one website that there is a 90% chance that it will snow....hhhmmmmm...pretty good chances, so we will see! I have been anxious to see snow this whole winter, and I have kept reading everyone else's blogs about snow, and I kept thinking "No fair! I want some too" hehe..... when I went to Leander, it snowed in Killeen! When I was in Killeen, it snowed in Leander! Well, one of these days I will see some real snow falling from the sky, piling up on the ground (not just little flakes here and there that melt as soon as they hit the ground!) Plus, it might be nice to have a day off of school! :)

Tonight my Jesse made me dinner! He made home made chicken alfredo with bow tie pasta! Yummy! And now he is doing the dishes too!!! Wow! I am blessed :) Here in a little while I think I will go get some icecream too. :)

Well, as far as work, it is going okay, but all I can say is, I can not wait till April 28th is done and over, then I won't have to worry about TAKS TAKS TAKS!!!! :( Honestly, I would love third grade (probably my favorite grade to teach so far) if it wasn't for all the pressure of THE TEST. Ack.

Anyways, life is good overall, but mostly God is good! :)

ME TOO! Everyone else has gotten snow. It's not fair! I'm trying not to get my hopes up, even though I really, really wish it would actually snow and stick!

by cmdl at 02/22/10 5:45PM
Yay for you getting to see snow today! Maybe you and Jesse can come up here and visit and he can make some alfredo again...haha! :) Have fun today seester!

by kalawi at 02/23/10 6:04AM
You got your wish......it's snowing! :)

by kendralulu at 02/23/10 6:17AM
Is it snowing in Killeen? It is here. I feel bad for my students that have to brave the storm to sit in my class;-)

by csusoftballgirl at 02/23/10 7:24AM
Yes, we all hate the TAKS aspect of teaching in TX. I was just telling a younger teacher today that it's a shame so many teaching now have never known the fun teaching can be when not under that awful testing form of accountability. It used to be much better and somehow we all grew up to be successful and productive citizens. Go figure!

by iloveponds at 02/23/10 7:58PM
glad that things are working well for you!
