Where did the time go?

Wow. I don't know where the past few weeks have gone. It has been a whirlwind! The boys are playing soccer and had their first game yesterday. They both played well and their team won 2-1. They were excited about that. We went to Chickasha after the game and saw my sis, nephew, cousin and her kids. The kids had a blast playing and E ended up spending the night.

Jenn and I went to Norman and drove through several neighborhood (like we do when we are there) and still have our heart set on the Vineyard. It is just the look and feel that we like and we just haven't found it anywhere else. We met with the builder Friday and looked at lots over there. We have narrowed it down to 2 and Jenn said she found her "dream house" - one of the homes we looked at while over there. It is already sold, but the floor plan is pretty close to perfect for us. It's all just moving a little too fast for me.

So last night, we drove around Norman and checked out other neighborhoods, because I think it is important to check out other options. Then we went to Barnes & Noble and spent our birthday gift cards. Thanks Mom and Dad! And we went to Best Buy to look at cameras because ours is old and dying and we wanted something nice and new for Disney World next week. Next week! Wow. Cannot believe it's almost here!

We went out to Riverwind and played blackjack and then had dinner and came home and had a great night in. Life is good.

Oh, and I am going to be going back to school at OU in the fall. I have officially been accepted. I have 33 hours left for my BA. It will take longer than I hoped, though, because I just don't have the time to take more than 6 hours a semester and work and have a family and a life. But I guess I can handle it taking 3 years. Then onto my Masters!

Whew! What a week!

I have been out of pocket the last few days because of our annual state conference at work. We start on Wednesday, getting everything ready at the conference center. The conference started on Thursday morning and ran until almost 5pm. We then have our awards banquet that we have to get ready for while there is a little social hour going on. The banquet runs from 7-9pm and then we have to clean up afterwards. I was so tired.

Then back at the conference center at 8am on Friday, until 1:30pm, then we had to load up the truck and bring everything back over to the office. But I got out at 3pm, and picked up E from school, so that was great!Soccer practice got cancelled Friday, so we took the kids to see Shrek the Third and they had fun. It was alright, but not as good as the first two (in my opinion).

We had a soccer game at 9am on Saturday morning. The boys played really well and won the game. So far, we are undefeated! WOOT! After the game, we went home and let the boys take a little siesta before E's birthday party. We got to Chuck E. Cheese about 11:45 and got all set up. E's cake was very cool - Darth Vadar!



After the party, we took M home and went home to vegg out! I was so beat. The boys played Xbox and played with E's new toys (lots of Star Wars action figures) and Jenn took a nap. I played Chocolatier on my computer and won! Yay! I never seem to win any of those games and Jenn beats them really fast!

Sunday, we did laundry and cleaned house in the morning and then we had a soccer game at 1:45. The boys played well again and yes, we won! They got their trophies for the season and they were very proud of them. We start t-ball next week, I believe!

We went to Chickasha to see my parents and my sister and nephew, who flew in from Dallas. It was so good to see W! He has gotten so big and was walking everywhere. It was just so cute. He is getting the cutest little ringlet curls in the back of his hair. Just precious! We stayed out there pretty late and didn't get home until close to 10pm, but the boys had a blast. We popped them into the tub and then they were out like lights.

Ugh

Today has been the most drawn out and long day! Ugh. It is cloudy and rainy and I just didn't want to get out of bed this morning. It rained most of the day and is just now starting to get a little sunlight peaking out from between the clouds.

I have been watching the clock all day long and am so ready to go home. What a long, drug-out day!

Soccer practice was cancelled because it is so muddy. I don't know what I am going to feed the kids tonight. They are tired of being cooped up while it rains. I will probably take them to Kidz Club while I work out. That way they can get out and play somewhere else!

We had such a nice weekend. The weather was great! I came home from work on Friday and mowed the lawn and finised up trimming the hedges. We had a great chicken fried steak dinner and played a game with the boys before going to bed.

We got up on Saturday and cleaned the house. M came over around 10:30 and played with E and K and then my mom came over about 11:30 and we went to the boys soccer game. They played great and won! Yay!

K went with his granparents for the weekend from the game and we all went downtown to the Arts Festival. It was soooo crowded, but the indian tacos and stawberries napoleon were fabulous! The kids made some fun light switch plates, sun catchers and wands in a kid's area. Jenn and I shared a dippin' dots and then we all went home.

Jenn and I took a nap while mom hung out and watched a movie with M and E and then E went home with her for the night. M went home and Jenn and I worked on her algebra quiz (not well, I sucked) and then got ready and went to see the Oklahoma City Philharmonic with Bebe Neuwirth as the special guest.

She was fabulous!

Yesterday was sort of a lazy morning. It was nice that no little one's woke us up! I got the dogs bathed, the fish tank cleaned, the back yard mowed and picked up E and got dog food. We spent some time playing Lego Star Wars on XBOX. Then I made spaghetti and meatballs and after dinner, E and I watched Star Wars V.We are going to finish watching it tonight. He wants a Star Wars Birthday Party (15 days until he is 5!!)

Soccer

The boys have been doing so well at soccer! They look so cute in their uniforms and try so hard at practice and during the games. I have REALLY enjoyed soccer season. I think soccer and basketball are my faves. I am sort of dreading the thought of T-Ball. But they say they want to play. It isn't until June, so we will see. It is just so hot then.

Whew

cannot believe that it is already April. Basketball for the boys is over and they start soccer soon! They are excited, although they are still dribbling around the house with their basket balls. It is sooo cute. I cannot wait to get them on the soccer field. I think they will be great at it!
