Back From Florida
We had a nice visit with Mom/Grandma in Fla. Bob came down and surprised us with a visit. I'll post a couple of pictures. I know I've been bad at the blog site since I hooked up with facebook.
Is anyone reading this blog? Let me know. I miss family so I really enjoyed being with fam. in Fla. The boys loved it. They often feel the effects of living so far away from family members.
We are recovering since the basement flood. We don't have the floor boards finished or the furniture back in but the carpet is fixed and my long arm is back on its frame. Now I need to down load the quilting program to my computer and I will be off and running. More like standing and quilting!!!
Enjoy the pictures:
(if I can get them to download!)

Mother's Day Surprise
Adam woke me up this morning at 6:30 a.m. and brought me breakfast in bed. He was so thoughtful. It consisted of a small bowl of Frosted Flakes and a cup of lemonade. He had made a card at school so that garnished the side of the bowl. He was SO excited to have done this gesture of love. It was touching to my heart....even if it was 6:30 a.m. on my day to sleep in.LOL
I have just returned from four days after spending it in Sandy Utah at a quilting conference. It was wonderful and I learned so much. I hope I can find time now to turn all that knowedge into experience.
I'm taking the boys out of school two weeks early so this is their last week of school.
Next week we are flying to Florida. We have a three day commentment to Hilton then we will spend the rest of the two weeks with Grandma. I look forward to the break. I can hardly believe it is almost summer already. I love summer and love having the boys home. I can hardly wait!!!!

Just another Update.
It's been so long since I've blogged. I got myself hooked on Face book and have neglected my blogging duties.
The basement is coming along. Gus worked on the replacing the sheet rock where the wall had to be cut out. The carpet people came back in and laid new padding and was able to relay our carpet. It was still new enough and wasn't ruined. That was a blessing for us.
The boys are busy at school doing year end testing. I will be doing a 3rd grade music program on May 13th. This week from May 6-9th, I will be attending a quilting conference. I am looking forward to it and am so excited about all the possibilities of learning new things. Then on May 18th the whole family will be flying to Florida. We have a special condo through Hilton. We get to stay in a really nice condo and hear their spill about buying a time-share. Of course, we have no intention of buying a time share but the trip will be nice. Then we will spend the second week with Grandma. We look forward to that. I am already missing the 'girls'. (dogs) We've got a lady that will come in and feed them and check on them. But, they are such social girls, I don't know how they will survive.
Anyway,this will be a busy month for us. And yes, I am taking the boys out of school two weeks early. Both of them will have finished all their core testing and I've cleared it with their teachers and the principal. They are excited.
Matthew completed his state report this past week. He was assigned the state of Indiana. The report turned out nice and he scored a perfect 100% on each of the four areas.
Matthew had asked me on month ago if he could have a sports party if the Jazz went to game 6 or 7. I had told him yes, but since the Jazz was eliminated there would not be a party. So last night he asked me if he could have a few friends over to watch "Hotel for Dogs". He organized it all. He had ten friends over of all ages. They had a great time and I stayed down stairs the whole time working on organizing my CD pictures. It was a win-win for all.
I think that is about the update for now. I don't even know if anyone is reading this beside myself but it is a good way to journal the current events.

Our life continues..
This week has been quite the adventure. Our basement is finally starting to dry out. The carpet pad has been removed, more fans moved in to blow under the carpet and our hopes are lifted that there might be an end one day to this challenge. Home teachers have been our rock. Not only did they help install a new drain in the basement window,they brought a chain saw over and trimmed fruit trees, dead quakies, and any other bush I pointed it. It was fun, full of laughter and teasing, which certainly helped lift our spirits. And even if our house is a total mess from having the basement moved to other areas of the house, the yard is beginning to look as if it is ready to welcome in spring. The boys are enjoying the real spring weather as are the girl dogs too. Enjoy these pictures.
