Just kidding. My problem is finding something to do for it. I love him, he loves me, we know that. He's REALLY romantic, I'm REALLY NOT! I'm trying. Jim made me an appt to get my nails done today, and hates that that's all he's done so far, but come on what else is there up here? I'm trying to plan a date. One he will like. My perfect date? Horror movie with blood guts and checking under my bed for monsters, a BIG steak dinner and bed! Not his idea of a romantic date. Any ideas?? Oh happy anniversary Cori and Danny Reiswig!Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942433908555570485.post-69011134220204609312011-01-13T08:42:00.000-08:002011-01-13T08:42:26.856-08:00Trevers Christmas Helicopter<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw_gl6Noc9-TbyQ43-c2oK5vObWQV2y7TjKeQbw1KUCLDEr-FcmEM-rdkn7ikSaQ6HNisWop8hWM_JoQWieXw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Trever got this really cool remote control helicopter for Christmas. It takes pictures and videos. They have had so much fun with it. This is video he took with it.

<br />
Thursday night Alex went to a soccer game and was texting me from there and telling me that his ex friend kept running his mouth about his sister and me. Being a gross boy. He was getting really mad but I told him to leave it alone. Friday at school he couldn't leave it alone anymore. Apparently, from Alex and 4 witnesses that told the school officer, the boy kept running his mouth and got even more vulgar. Alex picked him up, threw him on the desk and then threw him onto the floor before being pulled away from him. The other boy didn't fight back but still got the same 3 day suspension for the filth he was saying. <br />
<br />
Alex isn't in trouble at home. But.. he is learning that it's not vacation being suspended. If he isn't in school he is working. Not punishment, just working. Glad he stood up for his sister but he need to thicken his skin a little, she will be in the high school next year and she's very pretty and he will probably hear a lot more. As for me, I told Alex that I've been called worse by better people and it doesn't phase me. Hard situation but the school did what they had to even though the officer didn't really want to suspend him but rules are rules.Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942433908555570485.post-15761592868193493732011-01-11T15:57:00.000-08:002011-01-11T15:57:33.235-08:00My first day back to school<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjTAyRQKSt7oma6fQSHJk1slquECouQvUKxalHxW5IpU3Nhe3xJkriK2nmXo-1idR3xG1W1EgsBtXl-wrA5aGuqmPN8GaRfza-HeIYzAMiUSezKCnB8QnWHK0QJ5zPqEQR5FVrHfAEK1tx/s1600/jan+2011+141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjTAyRQKSt7oma6fQSHJk1slquECouQvUKxalHxW5IpU3Nhe3xJkriK2nmXo-1idR3xG1W1EgsBtXl-wrA5aGuqmPN8GaRfza-HeIYzAMiUSezKCnB8QnWHK0QJ5zPqEQR5FVrHfAEK1tx/s320/jan+2011+141.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Today I had my CPR for Health care professionals. From 8am until 6. But I got done at 3. I was so nervous this morning and tried to find my class room and couldn't and wanted to cry. I found it and things went smooth after that. I learned adult, child and infant CPR, how to use a defibrillator and what to do if someone chokes. Signs of heart attack, stroke, choking and stuff like that. Jim took me to lunch on my bread and bought me an energy shot and kept telling me how proud he was of me all day. My friend Marci sent me an encouraging text on my way to class that I really needed. What a great friend. I took my final test and got 100%. Yeah for ME!!! My EMT classes start next Wednesday because Monday is a holiday. I know I will be nervous but not as bad as today. I LOVED IT!!!! I was teasing the kids and had them take a picture of me just like I do of them on their first day of school. It turned into a fight because Trever was the only one ready so he got to touch my new camera and nobody else gets too.Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942433908555570485.post-10496945681922034122011-01-10T13:15:00.000-08:002011-01-10T13:15:17.066-08:00Back to SchoolI am so nervous, or scared or something. Tomorrow is my CPR class from 8:00 am until 6:00pm. I got my book today but I am incredibly nervous. Next Monday my EMT classes start 3 days a week from 7:30-9:50. I hear it's a hard class but I'm a pretty good student. For me it's a new chapter of my life. Expanding myself from only being a mom to do something I've really always been interested in. Just need to get over the first day jitters. Wish me luck! I could be saving your life one day.

So the kids decided last second to have a few friends over and watch a movie and hang out. It was fun... for them. We keep saying to ourselves that at least they are here and not out doing what their friends want them to do. They acted like dorks, it was fun. And I took some cool, fun pictures. WITH MY NEW CAMERA! </div><br />
<br />
No resolutions, ok that's a lie.<br />
1. No wrecking any cars<br />
2. No buying any Big trucks<br />
3. No moving<br />
4. NO PUSHING ANYONE DOWN THE STAIRS!!<br />
<br />
I think I'll stick with these ones, since I did them all last year.<br />
(in no way is this any confession to pushing anyone down the stairs)<br />
<br />
One downfall of a new camera is a TON of pictues... is that a downfall?<br />

The day I wrecked my car the rain started. It didn't quit until after Christmas. We had 10 inches in the first storm and close to that in the second. This caused major flooding, where Erskine creek overflowed and closed our road from our house to town. It also caused a major rock slide in the canyon that still has the canyon closed. They had to blow up the rocks to haul them out. It flooded Havila and Caliente so Lions trail was in and out. Walkers pass was in and out because it kept getting closed because of snow. Same with Greenhorn, lots of snow up there on the mountains. Not to mention the bridge on the backside of the lake washed away, and a HUGE part of the road back there gone. With all the outlets of our valley being closed it would be my luck that I needed to be in Bakersfield many times over those two weeks. Good thing we had the truck with 4-wheel drive because I swear we used it more than we ever did in Colorado.</div><br />

We spent Christmas eve at Jim's family's house where the kids did their gift exchange like they always do. (drawn names) We did something different and did the white elephant gifts. I got an awesome lucky watch, orange with crazy hands and hard to tell time on, but it looks super cute. Jim got a blanket, that I had actually bought for the game. I also received my BIG gift from Jim. <br />
<br />
YES! MY NEW CAMERA!<br />
The Canon Rebel T1i, and the extra lens that zooms more. I couldn't be happier, I've wanted this camera for over a year.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>We spent Christmas morning at our house and Santa came bringing a mixing board for Alex, a camera for Jimi, a sewing machine for Sami, and remote control laser tag cars for Trever. Oh and remember a BIG truck for Jim. We spent Christmas day at Kenny's house and had a big dinner. We had a great holiday!Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942433908555570485.post-37487550519639887132010-12-31T14:34:00.000-08:002010-12-31T14:34:53.736-08:00When life gives you lemons make lemonaid... or just buy a BIG truckI was Christmas shopping in Bakersfield one evening, well all day. It started raining and I started heading home. I stayed off the freeway because of traffic, I should have gone on the freeway. I go through a light, everyone slams on their brake and I slide right into the car in front of me. They get out, look at my car, don't speak any English besides "OWE my neck" and "ambulance". I was going like 5 mph and didn't hardly dent the trunk of their little car. I know I sound harsh but the very nice police man even said they were seeing dollar signs. Anyways... My car was towed and I got a ride home from my nephew and his friends. It was exciting. HAHA! My car estimate to get fixed was $3900.00. My car did what it was supposed to, crumple. <br />

I had been looking at a truck for Jim for Christmas so instead of waisting money on a rental I got his truck. He was happy he got it but sad I got to put 2000 miles on it the next few weeks and he only got to drive 20 miles. It's great, a 2007 Dodge, diesel, crew cab, long bed. Best feature is when you open the doors steps come down to get in but you can't see them at all when the door is shut which makes it look really tough.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not a video, just audio</div>For the past 8 years Kenny sings in Sacrament for Christmas. He sings "Oh Holy Night". It's always amazing. For some reason I tear up every time, can't help it. I recorded it this year (ok last year too), but while I am listening to it I notice how silent the chapel goes. Babies aren't crying, and people aren't talking. He is mesmerizing to listen to. Trever has said how hearing uncle Kenny sing makes him want to cry, so he sat and stared and listened and didn't move, and at the end HE CLAPPED! We don't clap in the chapel, he knows that. He said he just got really into it and forgot. It was only like 2 claps before he caught himself but we couldn't stop laughing after that. It was truly beautiful to hear. As my friend Krissy said though, he will be struck down for not singing for us more than once a year. Jim just says God will make him pay for it. <br />
<br />
Listen for the clap at the end, it's Trever. And it's long but worth listening to the entire song, it's truly moving.<br />

She didn't say much about it until that day. She had her friend come play dress up and find something to wear. Sometimes Jimi is so considerate. I know she would have loved to go shopping and get a new dress and shoes but she didn't even mention it. She even said she could use one from different years because nobody had seen them. (obvious to an adult, NOT to a 13 year old girl) She looked beautiful. I did her hair, straight on bottom and the top layers curled.<br />

We had a nice easy drive there and a great Thanksgiving. It was great being back in Colorado, cold. I have missed it and, dare I say it, I wouldn't mind going back to the snow. I miss Colorado but both Jim and I know that one day we will be in Cedar City Utah, we've know it from the first time we drove through when we only married a few months.<br />

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The drive home was much different. I was driving and when we got to about Green River Utah we hit a blizzard and nowhere to stop. Good thing I learned to drive in the Colorado snow. We saw at least 10 roll over accidents and over 40 cars off the road. Nothing we could do. The scariest was the fuel tanker we watched roll his back tank. I'm sure they had to probably close the highway until haz-mat came out. It was scary. We played a fun game though, I would "guess" the people we would see off the road ahead. I was right about 95% of the time. The kids were amazed I could tell the future. Really it was that they were usually the idiots flying by. When I say flying by I mean going over 30. We got to Cedar City and took a break. This is my family outside Denny's in Cedar City. We got stopped to eat and get gas in case we didn't have another chance. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"></div></a><br />

We had great weather by by Mesquite Nevada we hit the only thing worse than a blizzard. Stupid people traffic! We were stuck from Mesquite Nevada to Kramer Junction. The normal 13 hour trip took us over 19 hours. Note to self- DO NOT LEAVE COLORADO ON A SUNDAY!!</tbody></table></div>Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942433908555570485.post-50684372758433250172010-11-30T12:11:00.000-08:002010-11-30T12:11:35.909-08:00Disneyland<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Jim broke his back in August and he will be back to work next week so we decided for one last hoorah! Sami and Trever have never been to Disneyland so it was about time. Sami hates magic mountain rides but we promised her this would be different. I booked and paid for our room and tickets before hand through getawaytoday and it was perfect. Because of our big family we stayed at Raddison suites which is 6 miles from Disneyland but they have free shuttles, we didn't use them because Jim has anxiety and wanted the car "just in case". Free breakfast buffet every day and with Alex that saved us a TON! We had great weather most the time. A little rain but long sleeve shirts and very short lines except for Tuesday. We stayed 4 nights and had a lot of fun. Favorites: really the usual, Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Small World. I hated Space Mountain last time but liked it this time. I love Peter Pan adventure. And Sami and I wore our princess tiaras.</div><br />

The coach would call Jim all the time and said Alex hits like a truck! He did. He played tight end on offense and could catch anything near him. No touch downs but did get to the 1 yard line. He caught a lot of long passes but our quarterback is a first year Q.B. so needless to say there were a lot of bad throws. He played defensive end on defense and like we were told, we saw for ourselves that he hits like a truck! He had too many sacs to count, a blocked punt and was in on most tackles even if they were on the opposite side of the field. His downfall- typical Alex, focus. He had a hard time remembering plays, otherwise he would have ran the ball because he's a big ole boy and still one of the fastest on the team. He's 5'11 1/2, I say 6 foot but that would make him as tall as Jim and that's plain weird! He was out for a game because we were playing down in L.A. and he got hit and couldn't answer the 100 questions the guy was spitting at him so we were handed the stupid CIF form and spent most the night at the ER in L.A. It was fine, the hospital was nice, even had valet parking. I am sad the season is over and I'm looking forward to next year, so is he. He had a very busy schedule: up at 5:15 to get ready for school, seminary at 6:30, school, football practice until 5:30 then he would have to wait for the youth practice to get over at 7:30. Dinner, homework, and lucky to be in bed by 10:30 or 11. He's looking forward to some spare time to work on his suburban. He drives in 6 months. I KNOW!!!!</div></div><br />
Trever. He had a good season. He got bigger but not taller. He needs to work on speed but still hits like Alex. I know it's horrible for me to say but he hit a kid so hard the first game he walked off the field and quit. I think Alex did that to a boy last year. Trever is a running back. We have some coaching issues, coaches kid got fed the ball so Trever had to work 10 times harder with what he was given. That's ok, we try to explain that's how it goes. He does need to work on speed again, he's still fast but he's moving up next year and those boys seem huge to me. He made several touch downs, never came out of the game all season until the last play off game with 2 minutes left, he was part of a really big hit, 3 helmets collided and he came off seeing stars and puking. He was fine about an hour later. Rough sport, but he loves it. So do I. With practice in town it's so much easier and more enjoyable. <br />

Her coach didn't seem that into this year so they did most themselves and they have a younger team. She is still the best on the squad, not just because I'm bias she really is. I helped out with tumbling and by mid season had 5 girls out of 11, INCLUDING JIMI, doing back handsprings. And 3, INCLUDING JIMI, doing round off back handsprings. They took second in competition out of 9, so they did good. Jimi sprained her wrist really bad at competition and is out for the last comp this Saturday at Magic Mountain. They needed her. She's starting basketball now. She has to take it easy at practice for a few more weeks, no force on it. (back handsprings, throwing girls in the air) <br />

It moved quickly towards our house. They had evacuations a mile away from us, we packed a few irreplaceable things, just in case. Luckily they had several hundred firefighters on the fire to keep all but one structure safe. I think they said they had like 11 helicopters on it and they would fly over our house after filling with water from the lake, dripping over our house the whole time. The smoke and ash was pretty bad for the week and they ended up having to cancel football practice one night because of it. I wish I had a better camera because at night from our deck you could see the entire mountainside lit up with embers. On Tuesday when the fire hit the ridge you could see 200 foot flames break the ridge. Scary but neat. Glad it's out and over.<br />

The move meant a new bigger school for all the kids. Alex started high school this year. He's playing football and had 5am practices for weeks before school started. Then when school started he also started early morning seminary. He starts his day about 5:30, and by the time he gets home from his football practice and the other kids practice it's about 8:30. Dinner, homework, and bed. So far he's doing a great job and making great choices and keeping his grades up. Football is going amazing for him, but that's a whole other entry.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5_hreXNm9vAQmqPOcY5KqaZjI76WSw9JNxQ7BmzsnCX-jQYw1ZIJDxFb-yRdtXqEKAPCNnWJXD5J0ZiWhWjnMeLQBLobQPgv7h88y1u6k4O5r5Fy2fGn5BX8sAnXjXLQuksXAV8tnTW8z/s1600/iphone+mom+013.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519543253873733970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5_hreXNm9vAQmqPOcY5KqaZjI76WSw9JNxQ7BmzsnCX-jQYw1ZIJDxFb-yRdtXqEKAPCNnWJXD5J0ZiWhWjnMeLQBLobQPgv7h88y1u6k4O5r5Fy2fGn5BX8sAnXjXLQuksXAV8tnTW8z/s320/iphone+mom+013.jpg" /></a><br />Jimi started 8th grade this year. Her old school and new school have always been rivals. Besides the fact she is beautiful and all the boys LOVE her, means most the girls don't. She had a rough start but it's gotten much better for her. She is anti-drama, and is doing really well at it considering she is a 13 year old boy crazy girl. Her grades are great like always and she has made some great friends. The worst part is her middle school is right next door to the high school and for some reason the high school boys LOVE her now too.

It is really cute. She is in 6th grade and her best friend Tayah already went to this school and she had a lot of friends that already went to this school so she is having an easy time. Her grades are good and she is just checking out all the boys and letting them check her out. No boyfriend for her. Daddy and I LOVE that!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWxiM5wc3u5kzYrnMFuzRbYY9L2GpgACOr3p4T9wPX1QRxHhVZPhzEM7aAAbfeFwIq7TlifHF046VvUW_f1L0H5E9p2219oQIhvWzfIK4dyKh8b60RYEDDls4r9v4rUMdylaEb2i-EbD9Z/s1600/iphone+mom+006.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519543241686200818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWxiM5wc3u5kzYrnMFuzRbYY9L2GpgACOr3p4T9wPX1QRxHhVZPhzEM7aAAbfeFwIq7TlifHF046VvUW_f1L0H5E9p2219oQIhvWzfIK4dyKh8b60RYEDDls4r9v4rUMdylaEb2i-EbD9Z/s320/iphone+mom+006.jpg" /></a><br />Trever has had anxiety over the new school for a year now. (imagine that) He knew a lot of boys because of football and he really had a smooth transition socially. He is struggling pretty bad with the work they do. They taught it differently at the last school so he is a bit behind and trying to catch up. Luckily Jimi is using it as her Personal Progress (church goal book) to tutor him. She does a great job and he really lets her help him. He's in 4th grade and it's a hard year for kids in school because up until now they have gone to school to learn to read, now they change and are reading to learn.<br /><br />We absolutely LOVE living in town. I love taking the kids to school and picking them up. I love running to the store and being home in 20 minutes, I love being able to come home in the middle of practice to start dinner and just run back to pick everyone up. I LOVE how much gas we have saved. I really love everything about it so far. </p>Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942433908555570485.post-74954416713897476932010-09-13T09:00:00.000-07:002010-09-13T09:03:48.480-07:00I'm still aroundBusy busy summer and a broken computer cord, everything packed and a Vegas trip. All great reasons for not blogging. Hopefully today I will get back to work on it. Yes, today while I have a sick kid home, a fire that we are possibly going to have to evacuate over, a football article I have to write for the paper and getting my house back after a long weekend, oh and taking care of a sweet husband with a broken back. Yep, I'll blog later FO SHOW!!!!

I LOVE Kern River Tours, Marci, Kenny, and our awesomely good at what they do river guides who made us all very safe which helped us have a great time.<br /><strong>Highlights: </strong><br />the rock jump. I did this at least 10 times last year and probably the same this year. It was scarier last time because it was a higher jump because the river was lower.<br /><br />The fact that I didn't fall out of the raft again this year, actually nobody in OUR raft did!<br /><br />Lunch! Yummy sandwiches, for some reason they are the best ever.<br /><br />Laughing and giggling the whole trip.<br /><br />The super cute shirts Marci and Tabi made, I loved them.<br /><br />The fact that because this was 2nd annual means hopefully that we will have a 3rd annual.<br /><br /><strong>Low lights:</strong><br /><br />Because the river was higher some of the rapids weren't quiet as intense, that's normally a good thing but the adrenalin junkie I am I missed that!<br /><br />How sore I was the next day! I'm out of shape!<br /><br />That it was over until next year, that makes me sad.<br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/play/4d5463344d4449334d54553d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox collage: chick trip 2010" src="http://www.smilebox.com/snap/4d5463344d4449334d54553d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=msn&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own collage - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/all/" target="_blank">Free collage</a> created with Smilebox</td></tr></table>Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942433908555570485.post-41618336858645251352010-07-01T16:27:00.001-07:002010-07-01T16:30:31.484-07:00Summer Fun, add MUCH sarcasm to that!Ok, worth blogging.<br />Sami has a female goose. She lays LOTS of eggs. Hot summer + lots of eggs that don't get taken out regularly = ROTTEN EGGS! Now lets add Sami, Trever and 3 girl cousins to the mix. I had NO IDEA they had one in the house. The egg was hot, Trever put it under cold water, it exploded! Needless to say my house REEKS! Making me puke. Febreze helped tremendously but it still REEKS!<br /><br />Trever is far from being my favorite today!Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942433908555570485.post-16270433488086806312010-06-23T10:14:00.000-07:002010-06-23T10:19:49.470-07:00What am I doing?I feel like I'm constantly busy. But nothing is ever done. Maybe it's because I'm constantly walking behind my kids picking up things or better yet screaming at them to do something. We have gone swimming at my brother in laws awesomely huge saltwater pool a few times, and I must say my tan is looking pretty good so far, but nothing really great. Yesterday I deep cleaned the house. When I was trying to get the kids to help they kept saying "why do we have to clean when we're moving?" I wanted to scream even more. I have decided that I'm not giving them a chance to screw up once we're in the new house. I have told all of them that if they can't pick up after themselves here then they won't do it at the new house. I'm sticking to this. If they don't quit treating THIS house like a dump then when we move all they will get is a mattress and a blanket and 2 sets of cloths. They will have to earn everything else. I think they don't believe I will do it. One reason to write it down, now I have to hold myself to it. My kids are just too spoiled. Oh, and why can't laundry stop during the summer? I still hate laundry! Besides it makes my house even hotter running the dryer. I can't wait to move!Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942433908555570485.post-694071804526970492010-06-10T12:41:00.000-07:002010-06-10T13:06:44.816-07:00MovingFinally we are pretty sure we are moving into town. We, yes even the kids, are incredibly excited. We won't be moving in until at least July 15th, but I think it will be more like August 1st. The landlords are really great people and live in the house right now but just built a smaller house next door for just the two of them. They are just very happy because they want the house to be lived in, by a big family so it doesn't just sit and rot away. There are a lot of things that need to be done before we move in and I need to go through 6 years of junk, and she needs to go through much more. I'm up sizing while she's downsizing. Before we move in they want to paint the outside of the house, cut down some dead trees and basically just clean up around the property, oh and build us a spot in the garage to store shed type stuff. Dirt bikes, Christmas decorations you know that stuff. They need to replace a set of french doors in the master bedroom. We need to paint most of the house. We don't agree with the landlords on colors but they said it's all up to us, which is nice. It's 5 bedrooms, downstairs has a HUGE bathroom, 2 bedrooms for Alex and Jimi and has a small TV/game room. Great for sleepovers, as long as one will sleep upstairs. 2 1/2 bathrooms, huge laundry room, huge pantry, huge kitchen, huge dining room. It's awesome. Oh and it's on a well so I get to have grass. Lot's of grass and a great back yard for the dogs, they LOVE dogs. The landlords travel 4-5 months out of the year too. Oh and we will keep the horses up there with us. Only 2 miles to the school and town to save us at least $500 in gas a month. Plus it's literally HALF of what we pay here.<br /><br />Just a few not so great pictures that Terry took on his cell phone, before it's painted, I'll keep posting as it becomes OURS!<br /><br /><br /><p align="left">This is from the front of the house.

It was a nice ceremony. Alex looked so old. I didn't really get emotional but I did make sure he knew how proud we were, mainly because he raised his grade 4 letter grades in 2 weeks. Just goes to show he can do it. And... he was only .05 away from silver honor roll. He's never gotten honor roll before. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Jimi</span> got Platinum and has a 4.15 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">gpa</span>. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sami</span> got silver honor roll and Trever got most improved in reading. But homework for the last quarter was down for him drastically. Spring fever I guess. Alex starts summer school at the high school Monday. A lot of kids here do it. He is getting some math out of the way so he can be ready. He also has to log 24 workouts in the school gym to be eligible for football. Then 2 a day's, I can't wait to move into<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq8t4fuG0gpDm4NXLENC3LU0Gi6C8NerA82a8H-LhIY-sFR51SCzQYtaHmJIFusChJJu0phD4fluZWC5TbckpmzgBfCVHK-LQkXg_ciFfZ_wJg5O-vubRk4JhgEuZTjOaXyxYhp-Anxdna/s1600/June+001.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479042301051309394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq8t4fuG0gpDm4NXLENC3LU0Gi6C8NerA82a8H-LhIY-sFR51SCzQYtaHmJIFusChJJu0phD4fluZWC5TbckpmzgBfCVHK-LQkXg_ciFfZ_wJg5O-vubRk4JhgEuZTjOaXyxYhp-Anxdna/s320/June+001.jpg" /></a></p><br /><div align="center">Alex's graduating class of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">South</span> Fork Middle School.

I won't lie, I was intimidated at first and very nervous. It had been 16 years since I had actually played ball myself and I was sure I could bluff my way through the younger girls but these girls were 13-15 year olds. Jimi was technically too young to move up but since I was coaching, and she has the talent, they moved her up. Her best friend Destiny who is just a little older than her couldn't play because her aunt (WONDERFUL woman who raises her) was just too busy to get her to all the practices and games so I volunteered to take her to everything, so I had her on my team too.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDcpk1YkebwhOXundEzunkGRWiK4E9VOWJXWDx259Vu-IiC1lWikthR9GlAtg8_OgSyEwY-AfJgi316ktWKE67LJKUUyILnjBu0u95mzEdRUye0_f6msFCvOgLROGGUaA9q9xtczZTFTb9/s1600/May+026.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 211px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475614403542460098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDcpk1YkebwhOXundEzunkGRWiK4E9VOWJXWDx259Vu-IiC1lWikthR9GlAtg8_OgSyEwY-AfJgi316ktWKE67LJKUUyILnjBu0u95mzEdRUye0_f6msFCvOgLROGGUaA9q9xtczZTFTb9/s320/May+026.jpg" /></a> </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiExO9vgQReUQDdYNXF1B9feENgz5wryC8CSbKdF72V9SyVRpg-iFMZtytyQd_vbtD28L_PX6jkVtgwHtLSb7FF32g21-gxDMEmfEwlUYmfRX5Hz29tXd_aqOmeIqsM-Zi93aHE2dShw1t3/s1600/May+025.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 258px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475614388295883698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiExO9vgQReUQDdYNXF1B9feENgz5wryC8CSbKdF72V9SyVRpg-iFMZtytyQd_vbtD28L_PX6jkVtgwHtLSb7FF32g21-gxDMEmfEwlUYmfRX5Hz29tXd_aqOmeIqsM-Zi93aHE2dShw1t3/s320/May+025.jpg" /></a><br />They took the pictures in Kernville down by the river. They all turned out really good. This is Destiny and Jimi. We treat Destiny like one of our own kids. Her and Jimi have been great friends for a really long time. I'm hoping they keep each other holding tight to that iron rod and stay out of trouble. </div><div align="center"><br />I didn't know at try-out times that I was coaching that level so I didn't get to see all the girls try-out. Draft time I blindly choose. I did know who I wanted to pitch but that was about all. I ended up with 4 girls who had never played a day of ball in their life, and another few that was there only for the social aspect. I was worried at first and we started off a little rough but when we got rolling we took off. We have one more regular season game this Thursday in Kernville at 5:15 (if anyone wanted to go) then a playoff game, then our regular season is over. But... I am coaching the all star team. Normally by this time of year I am ready for this all to be over. This year I'm just not. I'm loving it! I can't wait to do it all again next year.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHg6AUmy-SmyQESW9L7d4O7hI06NyZGnD-A3vtGcAcrZJ5sbrBE5HnaIIrLHcpBCVWUAxAmFcSwpMkhloylERPCEE4HmLbMrCHMyUrkqIGF_emKyseJABk7lFyQAz4QKrEUBpcCenOEWyZ/s1600/May+030.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 217px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475614412051187778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHg6AUmy-SmyQESW9L7d4O7hI06NyZGnD-A3vtGcAcrZJ5sbrBE5HnaIIrLHcpBCVWUAxAmFcSwpMkhloylERPCEE4HmLbMrCHMyUrkqIGF_emKyseJABk7lFyQAz4QKrEUBpcCenOEWyZ/s320/May+030.jpg" /></a> </div><div align="left"><br />This is my team this year. We are the Michigan Wolverines. (did you know wolverines are super ugly?)So this is who we have. From left to right:</div><div align="left">Top row: Assistant coach Scott Tedrow, he has coached a few of these girls before. He was a good asset because he knew most of them better than I did and knew the rules better, besides the fact he umpired for me so I didn't have to. Then, Adriaunna, she had a great attitude. She got nervous in serious situations but never ever had an attitude with me. Then Skylr, she loved to be out there playing she wanted to play all the time. Then Brandi. She is Scott's stepdaughter, an AMAZING catcher, she's in high school. The first practice I thought oh boy she is going to have the worst attitude in the world. I was wrong. She was so respectful, friends with everyone and just a great girl. Next to Brandi is Bobbi. I have so much to say about this girl. She is an athlete! She is an amazing pitcher but I knew I could put her anywhere and she would be great. She always called if she was going to be even 2 minutes late to a game or practice. Her mom had a stroke during the season and almost died. She spent most of the rest of the season in rehabilitation home trying to learn to talk and walk again but Bobbi always came to play with her game face on. NEVER an attitude and nice to everyone! Her mom will be at our last game, we are so excited to see her. The Shy, she had never played but came from a family who did. She showed so much improvement! Her biggest setback was that she wasn't aggressive enough, and she got nervous when she was up to bat. Very sweet girl. Then my sexy assistant coach Jim, and me! </div><div align="left">Middle row: Erica, Alex liked her. They went out twice but it's over again. She was a nice girl with very little attitude. She was a good hitter. Next is Cassi, she was friends with everyone, her biggest problem was her own confidence in herself. Then it's Karli, she's Erica's twin sister. She played third on and off. She definitely wanted to play sometimes too much. She was a hitter too and really showed a lot of improvement through the season. </div><div align="left">Bottom row: Destiny, played second, and center field for awhile which was great because that's where we were getting killed at first. It showed the other girls that we weren't putting them in the outfield because we thought they were no good. We could always count on Des to hit the ball, even if it wasn't to the outfield she ALWAYS hit the ball. She gave me a little attitude but that's because she's just like one of my own kids. Then there's Marissa. Great fast pitcher. Another athlete I could probably put anywhere. Great girl most of the time, but sometimes her head gets way too big. She is a good hitter and an aggressive runner. Jimi, she is a great athlete too. She was a great shortstop and depending on who was pitching she either played shortstop or first base. This was her first year playing first and I was impressed. She's really aggressive and she's a great hitter. Scott worked with her just a few minutes on her batting and after that she was hitting them to the fence. But of course she gave me TONS of attitude. She listened a little better to Jim but when we were really having issues with her we would have Scott talk to her, she listened to him. Then there was Brook. Another one I was worried I would get lots of attitude from. NO WAY! This girl is so sweet. She had never played a day in her life and at first it showed. She struggled first with sliding but improved on that. Heck she improved on everything. She can hit the ball like crazy. She is an aggressive third baseman but we also loved her in center field because she can catch anything! All she needs is a little aggression on base running and a little more experience and she will be amazing. She may even make our all star team.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Our record ended up being 8-6. (we won 8) we actually had a harder first half but started catching up towards the end of the first half and only lost one game the whole second half and that was only by 1 and it was called because of lightning, so we could have won.</div>Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942433908555570485.post-31686165047507833342010-05-23T21:11:00.000-07:002010-05-23T21:14:08.927-07:00I think I love Smile Box.<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHdofZcO_8uLUf3S8VQMfkWKS3Z-fFl6cnc7jZPn9WodP8NyRyeSKq8aNmW4T8ZfWlbrzXTjlZd2p2E9AWaWsSyinPJ5mk6QskwoN4MNSZ8cNmaRJPEsJOGVLe04raJ2v0OFfAmavDLjqp/s1600/001+invite+(1).jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 229px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474684914955468978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHdofZcO_8uLUf3S8VQMfkWKS3Z-fFl6cnc7jZPn9WodP8NyRyeSKq8aNmW4T8ZfWlbrzXTjlZd2p2E9AWaWsSyinPJ5mk6QskwoN4MNSZ8cNmaRJPEsJOGVLe04raJ2v0OFfAmavDLjqp/s320/001+invite+(1).jpg" /></a><br />Mom and Dad, I'll be sending you REAL copies in a few days.</div>Danyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898609654591697847noreply@blogger.com2
