I cannot believe it has been three years since I last blogged! So much has happened in our lives.Short version ... Stephanie is now a junior in college...very active in campus life with Ultimate Frisbee, photography, classes, friends and volleyball and so much more. Still waiting for her Prince Charming. kayla has graduated from high school June 2012, got accepted to BYUI...worked all summer and fall, took online classes to keep smart, left in January for her winter /spring track. She is an Elem. Ed. Major and loves it. She has some good roomies, has met a lot of guys..dated a few, went dancing, had movie nights, spent some time with big sis, and participated in the winter guard there. now she has a boyfriend. Gretchen is busy...busy...busy. We cannot keep up with her! She is a junior n high school, taking a lot of ap classes and whipping her brain. She continues to be involved in percussion and tolerates many personalities. She is in student council, deca, Spanish club, environmental club, green cord, and is currently going for class secretary for her senior year.<br />
She is preparing for her third act test and really wants a good thirty something...hopefully that will happen. She is very busy with her service in the community and when she is not busy she is reading r going to the movies. her hopes are to go to Purdue University or another college with great Pharmacy programs. So we are all just holding our breath to see. Mike has received a few promotions and the latest is RegionL Director over Oils. which means he travels a lot and is Calif., New Jersey, Missouri, Texas, and wherever else needed and some Mexico. hey are hoping to prep him for ire for down the road. Our fun is complicated...just doing house projects for now to hopefully move to Midwest to be closer to our parents. Other fun is bbq Saturdays with a few friends and going to baseball games. Wr are well......What do I do? A little bit of everything....and try to work outside of home. I love my calling in church as Yw sec., and love being involved with many different activities that go on.<br />
That is the real short of three years.<br />

We didn't get to see Nathan but know he was there in spirit. Thanks Tammy...her pic is on my cellphone. Really nice area....reminded me of our area in Texas. From there I think we went back to Mike's sister in Highland, Utah. Hung out and enjoyed their company. Mike and his nephew Cooper shot basketball as long as they could. Probably could of gone on for a very long time. We traveled Utah in the Salt lake City area...just amazed at the architecture and consistent building improvements. All in all...we were ready to come home to Texas minus one. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937142189784554034.post-81113027916195458432010-09-14T14:48:00.005-05:002010-10-05T16:40:01.646-05:00Off She Goes!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw4Cw_jFlVZpmldbtKoOjLeBWlGVyYWR5zMb4hmQhk2erfWIXbLyodghIhwCv3FWh-aSEmI1jBNYKJcwRnh7U1mNMdypN0KfO3OAFITnpGvl5iaPMqas58JZl4YgAQBiCOTD1sZxDyW-I/s1600/P9070699.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516861593138138898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw4Cw_jFlVZpmldbtKoOjLeBWlGVyYWR5zMb4hmQhk2erfWIXbLyodghIhwCv3FWh-aSEmI1jBNYKJcwRnh7U1mNMdypN0KfO3OAFITnpGvl5iaPMqas58JZl4YgAQBiCOTD1sZxDyW-I/s320/P9070699.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>I have to tell you, having Stephanie in college is cool. It is very quiet...no more big feet on my ceiling when I am sleeping...no more 22-24 ppl. in our game room for a party...no more arguments over the bathroom between Gretchen and her....no more silently cleaning up someone's mess without being asked.....no more getting dad hyper even though he loves it and misses it....no more Stephanie stuff. I think she is missed...shhhh don't tell her. But if you are lucky to be on her friend list , you will see college life in Idaho is totally agreeing with her. In this picture is part of her room still getting organized, Notice the bare walls?

What an exciting and taunting weekend for 8th grade girls basketball. Friday night---we battled against Grapevine...lost by one point. The refs were extremely stinky and were worse the last minute and ten seconds. That is how our team lost. There were some big...big girls on this team too. A big girl was one of the best that Gretchen keept the ball from. The BIG girls' dad was sitting next to me and said...look at that small girl...is she even a 8th grader? SURPRISE!!!! Gretchen stole the ball from her 2 times. Oh ,the dad said she IS GOOD. Oh I said...that is my daughter ---the small one. If looks could ---well you know. The battle went on for awhile...lucky for them there was no OT. G's team came away with scratches and bruises but nothing extreme. The next day, Saturday, we played twice in the tournament. First, against Richland Hills, which was an okay game except Gretchen got pounded. One of the girls slammed her on the floor head first...she laid there a couple of seconds---not good--since she recently had ear surgery--then she got up gave the thumbs up to coach and she went on to score 6 points. She came away from that game with a few more scratches and 3 fouls. Go girl. Second team we played was really out for blood. They were Timbercreek. Hard core cores and very annoying with their ball chant. Which---Gretchen fixed one girl accidentally by bopping her in the throat acccidentally ---- We won this game in OT because their girls fouled out so much they only had 3 left to play the rest of the game. Both teams were very foul tending. We brought this game with everything we had too--of course. The only bad thing was Gretchen got punched in the nose and bled ---then her teeth were bleeding. So yes---these girls were out to WIN...and our team did...3rd place in tournament. Whew!!! </div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937142189784554034.post-57544192261205155612009-12-09T09:19:00.002-06:002009-12-09T09:34:33.345-06:00Random--Random thoughts as my third Christmas season in Texas arrives--<br /><br /> I have come to appreciate the Texas spirit of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Fourth of July, Veterans Day, Labor Day and football season... whether the area in the city is decorated in flags, lights, spirit or whatever...there is a certain respect here that I haven't noticed anywhere else I have lived. I look forward to seeing the flags out in the islands for miles and miles....I look forward to the goofy Halloween decorations that are displayed by my neighbors and around....I really look forward to alllllll of the lights and decorations that are displayed for fun and competition during the holiday season - many have the mangers displayed out too. Football is a whole different season here and it is one you won't forget and really get into...a lot. I liked football before but I really have become a junky ...I still display my Michigan flag and wear my shirts...I get looks cause obviously the Longnorns, Texas a&m, the frogs etc... are very popular and over powering here.<br /> I get a kick out of how cold the texans get when it dips into the 50's---oh they really freeze anything below that. My neighbors know I am a northerner because I relish the fun and idea of putting my festive lights out when it gets chilly and possibly cold here. Oh Susan---you are such the northerner...what can I say...thank you!!!! All of the Texans have their heat on 70 or so ---me, I keep my heat at 67-68 or if it is windy out and the breeze comes in the house maybe 69. Friends have learned to layer up in my house because comfort is the thing you know----love it.<br /> One really lucky thing for our family is that we got great neighbora again. We talk and share--always wave hello stop and chat--even the men do. we had that somewhat in Indiana as far as the men but more here. In the area where I live people let you know when your brake lights are out---not in Ind..... or Jersey ---or Ohio. In fact---a motocyclist followed me to let me know one of my lights were out...creepy but southern kindness. Dogs rule here in the neighborhood and all over as far as I can tell. Everyone seems to be walking or running with a dog. You will find in Lowe's or Home Depot owners with their dogs small medium and LARGE ones. It cracks us up. We thought about bringing our cats but ---nahhhh. Although I have taken them in the car 3 times since being here to pickup or drop off Gretchen to/from school. Funny! So, if you are smart dog sitting is very popular here---<br /> I think that is all for now--- I now there is more to share but I have stuff to do.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937142189784554034.post-68574437755974233732009-10-14T18:21:00.004-05:002009-10-14T18:27:39.780-05:00Homecoming and Texas Mums<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioW7ABwJIuMF1Ikzjt5ZorQFsVaCWSPuuzfMbO7rQmPpjZQiFSCqPp5Gx815SApRk7-qCrAyAPxT4TtPrOiLSSJc4OijiHdb82InIAmt2_j4TFOoY0uxawVA8ee2Ks_7o1ruXxPofeiJs/s1600-h/PA097895.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392601037995126722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioW7ABwJIuMF1Ikzjt5ZorQFsVaCWSPuuzfMbO7rQmPpjZQiFSCqPp5Gx815SApRk7-qCrAyAPxT4TtPrOiLSSJc4OijiHdb82InIAmt2_j4TFOoY0uxawVA8ee2Ks_7o1ruXxPofeiJs/s200/PA097895.JPG" /></a> here is the mum and kayla the other picture is her showing Taylor's name on it from EFY in Texas.

The senior, alias Stephanie, has hardly any homework...enjoying life in final year of band. No boys in her life --just friends. Stephanie and her hawaiian friend Milani agreed lately that boys can wait till college... that made both moms very happy. She had her last college test today---cross fingers for scholarship! No toe crossing though. Kayla, the sophomore, enjoying colorguard...but not the new directors. We'll see. So far school is -eek. She, on the other hand, is counting days to the BIG 16. Two boys are in her mind. What can ya do? Horse riding is on hold till winter (hehehehe) what winter? Gretchen, the 8th grader, is loving volleyball, 8th grade, and hanging with her friends. Band is high on her priority to do well in district and sectionals--that is hard here since there are sooo many percussionists. We will see.<br /><br />On another note-- wehave turned down 2 jobs out of Tx. One in Ohio --the other in Illinois. It just wasn't the right time having a senior in high school. We thought a lot about it---so here we are. It looks like for another 2-3 years. That makes Kayla happy and Gretchen sad. More things are cooking for Mike without us moving so we will see on that too.<br /><br />All in all--it is time to take pics of downtown Keller-cute and quaint. Since this is where we are --just wait . I will have to download the neat restaurant places we have been too.

Well, here it is ---the party we have been preparing for weeks. Sixteen invites later, on the 29th of August, we celebrated Gretchen's Birthday with fab and flair hawaiian style. Thirteen girls showed up for burgers and dogs, unlimited swimming, water balloon toss and fight, free lance football with 4 boys from the hood, volleyball with beach balls, and yummies galore, with an evening movie outside by the pool by National Treasure. Wow--so much fun to watch and hear. More than 3/4 of these girls were G's buddies from either volleyball or basketball from the middle school.

I am flabbergasted at how the months have truly flown by. We are one week and afew days from school starting... Our summer has been different with no visitors coming in but we had lots of storms that led us to projects and stuff. We still do not have a tree in the front but we now have a new roof and new color of paint on our house. To even more more excitement than one can stand, I also have a new stainless steel dishwasher---it is soooo pretty and quiet. Quiet is the key word. We had some exciting decisions to make as far as jobs...Illinois or Ohio. Well, after much thought and prayer and whatever---we decided we d/n need to move and we d/n need to move Stephanie out of another school especially in her senior year. Mike looked at the plant in Ohio... was interested but timing was off. Illinois is still in future but not now. Thank goodness. we have been "stressed out" and on the edge with those decisions. Our months of summer has been filled with EFY, Girls Camp, volleyball and basketball camp (Gretchen) and Mavs basketball camp for Gretchen. As you can see they have been busy...the past 4 weeks the older two have been involved in band and colorguard camp. I have no pics of them doing that. We went on vacation to Arkansas for caving and hinking then strolled over to KY to visit Mike's cousin---there we tubed and jet skied to hearts delight. Loads of belly laughing and snickering ---cause it was funny. From there off we went to Tn....to visit Elvis' mansion. Wowser!!!!! That ws some tour--never to be done again but we did it. Onward home. Work-work-work. I am still trying to find a job...preferably in school system --but who knows maybe I will be working at Home Depot. Other fun times we have spent have been going to quite a few baseball-Rangers games. We have one this weekend in a suite should be very fun and warm---yeah baby! We also have been busy plotting with Stephanie her portfolio for her senior yr...---oh chills. What a fun blast and half that has been!!</div></div><br /><br /><div><div><br /><br /><br /> </div><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937142189784554034.post-66525546694376773522009-06-28T17:33:00.002-05:002009-06-28T17:47:47.306-05:00Ode to my carToday I am in a sentimental mood. My Expedition is 10 years old---I have had it for 8 years. It has 162, 517 miles on it and counting. There have been many memories in it and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">many,</span> many travels. To begin, the girls have had many changes in it from dance to friends houses to softball to basketball to church activities to volleyball to many camps and more friends houses to band camps and practices--loading and unloading. Girls...girls ...girls have been piled in the car and even slept in. In fact Mike and I have even slept(not well) in the expedition. It has been to many places Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Tennessee, Illinois, Michigan, Canada, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Kentucky, and of course <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Texas</span>. I am sure I have forgotten some places but you get the message. It has also traveled through many places as well---- It has been a great vehicle to have after driving a minivan for 7-8 yrs.. This car even trudged through our first daughter's driving which is a really good test. Next is number 2 daughter---hopefully she will do well with this piece of machine too. It is fun to overlook other cars when traffic is over booked or look down on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">ppl</span>. too. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span>. I like to push the speed limit whenever I can---just to show we can haul butt. My girls laugh---what a fun SUV this is! Whenever we go on vacation we have our trusty SUV---we pack it like a mule and love every piece of it. What a great mule it is. Eat your hearts out!!! This year will be lots of packing---colorguard equipment again, snare drum, bags and bags of stuff and even some college trips. Maybe this cool SUV will drive our daughter to college!!! Yeah-baby!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937142189784554034.post-85311536510447944232009-06-25T10:24:00.002-05:002009-06-25T10:48:31.318-05:00Reflections--Today I am anxious. I officially have a senior in high school. Wowser. Many seniors have come and gone---now mine will be in the same boat. She is getting her senior pictures done today since she has such a social load of work and band we thought it good to do it now before the temps. also get past 103 degrees. Today it will be 101-102. Her thoughts for her pictures were her varsity jacket with Homestead and Keller high plastered all over it because she still is a spartan at heart and an indian ; a nice picture of loveliness; a texan portrayal for fun; her snare drum from school; and whatever she might come up with that is top secret. We went to Charming Charlie's to get accessories for her outfits---she was overwhelmed with the colors that the store had to offer because it is huge! But---off we went with our purchases. It has been fun planning this part of her senior year. The next step will be shelling out money for her cap and gown---invitations---yearbook--ads in yearbook--band parties and events---competitions and what not. She has already taken her college tests and will most likely take another in October. her top picks for college are BYU-Idaho-1st; BYU -Utah-2nd; maybe a college in Ohio. Boys have become a hit on her list--but--oh no serios ones yet. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! It is kind of weird seeing her change in her looks-I have been looking at the past 3 years and am amzed at how she has matured in looks---she is still goofy-which one of her teachers in 4th grade told her not to change---WELL she hasn't .

Girls were at camp and Mike was on the road home. I took quick check to see how trampoline was doing and heard the most piercing siren and decided to run to THE CLOSET! I grab Misty (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">furball</span>) and put her in down bathroom...couldn't find LILY...got treats and still couldn't find her and then---- I saw green fly across my front of house and decided to run to safety. This was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">stinkin</span> serious. My purse and important documents and Misty were with me---I hoped Lily was good where she was and listened to storm around and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">occasionally</span> the TV cooperated. Then lights out!!! I got a little worried...it was quiet, I looked outside and saw my tree was down...down... The winds were still going 70 mph and I just hung out around the closet just in case. No <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">tv</span> though. I couldn't get my weather radio to keep on... I called Mike---no answer I knew he was smart. So here are the pics of our gone tree. I made it fine--just really weird. Glad the girls were gone and just the cats and me were there to worry.</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937142189784554034.post-71477769687403880492009-06-05T10:47:00.007-05:002009-06-05T10:58:33.810-05:00Final games for X-treme<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqTOPy9d1JVWV5cwXJrnOPhkU5Kf6Eof0XhZBmBZBAGDmlWA7bJAuOpbsCBaGOOj6J76Db5u1_c4AHkliZnLh12vpIC_vJZP6Ccwdtz-TgO_iku-DgS_E24yxS7w-pgZY131sJn_Updkw/s1600-h/P5257070.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343872850673277538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqTOPy9d1JVWV5cwXJrnOPhkU5Kf6Eof0XhZBmBZBAGDmlWA7bJAuOpbsCBaGOOj6J76Db5u1_c4AHkliZnLh12vpIC_vJZP6Ccwdtz-TgO_iku-DgS_E24yxS7w-pgZY131sJn_Updkw/s320/P5257070.JPG" /></a><br /><div><br /><div>Pysching the other team out...kicking the bat and lookin' tough!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfj6kc3VPMV1YPNh-H7S_NvYb9X7l9DPBB4lRPkXymiFNtCVDvWIYOqIL-q6FA22_EC_FotF_lYOM9FpJ0o6eyXmYWWhcSzBiAcL5RCUjOS09fq0D-4MzAWQynj3Wgps7SArmN-IrxBl8/s1600-h/P5257060.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 321px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 243px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343872336206936834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfj6kc3VPMV1YPNh-H7S_NvYb9X7l9DPBB4lRPkXymiFNtCVDvWIYOqIL-q6FA22_EC_FotF_lYOM9FpJ0o6eyXmYWWhcSzBiAcL5RCUjOS09fq0D-4MzAWQynj3Wgps7SArmN-IrxBl8/s320/P5257060.JPG" /></a><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343871869743005762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlHdy2laVAJUWVWxXQ1LdivK7AHq7Iz02eDW4EhQwAZKQmBNN1Y51b9S4Ml6sxU8jztrU0Dk9i18mbf4qGm6I0C20pZ-GY7c6T98b5FMsQboceTCTBoPTuO35HI9pCVIygKTIT0UM8Atw/s320/P5257059.JPG" /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div>Monday was a hit!
