It is the small things that matter...right? Well last week when Oprah announced that she was giving away free meals from KFC we hopped right on the computer and printed out our tickets! Hurray...so we are going to dinner tonight. Just a simple thing to make my kids happy...CHICKEN!
Other than that we have been getting through our dentist appointments, Rob is struggling through his long days at work and on top of it...at the dentist they hit a nerve in his face when working on his mouth and he has a black eye and his face was swollen for a few days..poor guy!
I am getting very frustrated with Gracie...she is really teething right now and getting into everything and I am just at my limit with her chewing on our patio furniture and anything else she finds.
I am loving school this quarter and glad to be home still.....long days at home making fresh bread and slowly getting things organized. Although I can't really wait for summer..I keep thinking of all the time I will have but who are we kidding? IT is already filling up with all of our activities and I won't have time to clean and organize because I will be living life!
The kids are doing well..they want to be outside all of the time and they hate that it is still light out when bedtime rolls around because they want to stay out and play or ride their bikes or whatever else.
I have signed up for a 5K race on fourth of July in Ellensburg. I am not so much concerned about what my time will be as much as I am concerned about just accomplishing the goal of finishing something. I know I can complete 3 miles I do it several times a week. Jeri and Bryce are training with me and I think I will sign Jeri up for the 5K if she continues on with training..it will be good for her to succeed in a race as well.
We have our big tennis tournament this weekend and there is a lot of smack talking going on in the house...but it is all good fun and we will see who will be the reigning champ on Sunday! I think it will be Cole or Rob.
Well I hope you all have a great week!

Rob is back to work today
yay! Rob is back at work today--I know it will take some getting used to because he has been home for three weeks so he is going to be very tired for the next couple of weeks when he is home but hopefully the recovery will happen quickly.
We have taken up tennis as a family recently. It is so much fun and I played a tiny amount in high school but not really..lol. Anyway, Bryce thought he would just go on the court and beat me and I BEAT HIM ...it is killing him that his fat , out-of-shape mother beat him on the courts so the competition is ON! and I get bragging rights this whole week. Mind you if I played anyone with skills I would lose...but the fact that I beat BRYCE is a big deal around here because ...oh how he hates to lose.
So we decided we would make a tournament ...2 weeks from last weekend. We are inviting our friends and making a poster board with all the brackets..BRyce is in charge of that part and we will just start out rolling a dice to match up the first set of matches (who plays who to start...I don't want any cheating!) and then the competition is ON! We have prizes for first, second and third place. There will be 16 competitors. The Horton-Dickinson Tournament is in the works! Nothing like a little healthy competition and it gives our family something to work towards and it is fun to have these family activities. Plus the kids love it when we organize these things.
Things are going well with school....the load is light, haven't been stressed at all. That part is nice. I have been working in my yard..trying to get things planted and making a few new flower beds because those are my favorite thing about yards. I have been focusing on the front yard...and that will be done soon--so on to the back...that is a far bigger project and I am a bit overwhelmed as to where I should start...oh well another day.
Well---I think I will be able to post more often now that I will be back into Charisma's routine...and not post-op Rob's routine.
Have a good day!
