Well, here it is, our new updated HDTV and entertainment center. I love it, It sure makes a big difference with the look of the room. much better and it looks bigger too!! So, Gail, what do ya think?? Come on over and check it out if you'd like, I will pay for your gas, hehehehe.
Well, I just changed my page, all by myself I might add, Sarah, aren't you so proud of me?? It's memorial day and that means another day off for me. I love my day offs!! We finally broke down and bought a new 52"flat screen TV. Yes, we are retiring the Hadfield TV. We bought our big screen TV from the Hadfields when they went on their mission in Chile. It's been 10 years! Our new addition will be delivered today sometime. We also bought a nice entertainment center to put it in. I will post a picture when it is all set up. Maybe. Today we are BBQing with our friends, Jim & Marie. All our kids are going somewhere else, whatever! Our weather this week end is a severe change from last week end. Cool and cloudy, drizzly. Fun for a BBQ. I hope everyone has a great day and see ya'll soon!
Last Friday we had a field trip to the zoo. It was only about 180 degrees out and extremely uncomfortable to say the least. The kids were good, but because of the heat, I thought going in January might be a good time for next year!
Today is our 36th anniversary!! We went to Carlsbad and stayed at a really nice hotel across from the beach. We had a great time. Here are some fabulous shots from so long ago. Wedding pictures have sure improved since then!
John was born on Mother's Day and we of course celebrated it as well as Mother's Day. I kinda get gypped when his b-day falls on moms day. I got him a Wii, well kinda I got us a Wii, I've been wantiing one since before Christmas. Amy and Clark have one and it is so much fun!!!!
John, his mom, Pauline and his brother Jim
For Mother's day we went to John's brother's home in Apple Valley. They had two of their kids with families and we had our girls and their families. John's mom and my mom were there too. We had great food and a fun time! We also celebrated John's birthday. He was born on Mother's day! I am not sure if that would be fun or not. Probably would be OK. Here's a picture of all the mom's that were there!
Cool Luke!
Isaac and his cool cast
Coco-Puff & Daddy

When we were on our way home from Mama Mia, Brooke called and said there's something on my porch. So we went home and got it and this is what was on my porch! Thanks Jeff, and the rest of the bunch!!! They are beautiful!!! Happy Mother's Day to me!!
We went to see the musical "Mama Mia" today with Jim and Marie. It was fabulous and so fun. Loved the music and story line. I love going to see live performances. The only downfall was that John and I had to move over a few seats because, of course, smack dab in front of us were two 'guys', one being very intoxicated and wreaked to high heavens and then they were extremely 'friendly'. Marie and Jim didn't move with us and got the extra 'entertainment'. Anyway, after that we went to dinner for John's birthday. It was a great day!!
When I came home from work yesterday, this is what I saw. I don't see this sight very often, so I was very surprised to say the least. They are beautiful. Those of you who really know John, know that he just doesn't buy flowers, he usually says, I thought about buying you flowers, but then they just die. Anyway, later we are going to go see "Mama Mia" the musical. I am excited to go see it. We are going with our fab friends, Jim and Marie. It's John's birthday tomorrow and Mother's Day, so I figured we are killing two birds with one stone! AND next week is our anniversary! Going to go somewhere, just can't figure out where yet. Any suggestions????
Well, as most of you know, I teach kindergarden, and since we got back from spring break, my class seems to think they can do pretty much as they please. What is that about??? We are going to the zoo next Friday and I keep telling them that if they can't follow the rules here at school, then they can't go on a field trip with me. It doesn't seem to be working. There are a couple of them that are just trying my patience lately. Actually driving me nuts would be more correct. I still wouldn't trade kinder for anything though. I think it is the time of year and most of the teachers are complaining of the same thing. Well, here's to a better day tomorrow.
Here's a picture of my little cherubs....
Yesterday I got a pix text from (I thought)Heather, but I think it was from Brittnie. It was a picture of some beautiful Mother's Day flowers. I called and Brittnie answered, and I told her the flowers were pretty, who gave them to your mom? She said, "Dad did." I told her that her mom was not Jeff's mom and asked her where my flowers were? She said without missing a beat, "On the phone!" Well, needless to say, she has the wit of her father! Then I talked to Heather and she told me how beautiful the flowers were and she loved them. She said she told Jeff that Mother's Day was next week. And Jeff, without missing a beat, said, "I know, they would cost twice as much next week." All we could say was, like father like son!
