EBAY

Ok, so I know that I am way behind the times, but last night was the first time that "I" actually bought something on Ebay. I was very proud of myself because I researched the item I wanted, was watching several of them at the same time and then probably won the auction because everyone else was watching the Olympics. Anyway, proud that I got what I wanted, and even happier that I got it for at least $25 less (with shipping) than everyone else keeps paying before shipping!!!! Christmas present #1 for child #4- CHECK!

25 mile bike ride

This morning we (Brad and I) got up early with Joshua. He has been working on his cycling merit badge with his scout troop. While we were on vacation he missed one 25 mile ride, so we needed to make it up before the 50 mile ride next weekend. We were able to recruit 2 other scouts and their families to help get the boys where they needed to be.

It was a beautiful morning. They rode from our home to the Copper Mine and back. I only drove the vehicle, no biking, so I am not quite so tired or sore as the other two.

Star Wars

ARE YOU READY FOR THE NEW STAR WARS?



We sometimes feel like we live in a galaxy far, far away...but today we will be celebrating the opening of the newest of the George Lucas Empire of Money Making Schemes.


We will be having a traditional meal of Darth Vader Taters with Tatoo-weinies served with Galactic Slime and Yoda Soda. For dessert we will be feasting upon Wookie Cookies. We won't be waiting in line at the movie theatre with those crazy people who dress-up and such. Instead we will spend the evening at home, feasting and watching one of the other six movies. May the force be with you.

And the Winner Is...

Wow, we have some budding artists in our family. Our local grocery store was having a birthday celebration and the boys each entered their coloring contest and they each won in their age catagory. CONGRATULATIONS!

PS. It would be nice if they actually had won $500 like it looks like in the picture, but they each won $5.

Preparing for seventh grade

We finally got the schedules in the mail for Valesca and Joshua. Yesterday we took them over to find their classrooms and their lockers. Joshua actually did pretty well at opening his locker.
