My Special Day....

A couple of weeks ago I was at Terriebeths for a Pamper Chefs Party (Sorry Fran!), and we had to put on name tags with our name and favorite item....well I don't have much if anything from them so I put an item I remembered seeing and I liked.... Tim and John were at home putting in some of the sprinkler parts...and Tatem and I stopped at Subway to get lunch on the way home...it was a couple of hours after that that I realized that I still had on my wonderful name tag!!! Terriebeth and Tabitha started laughing when I shared it with them....

So imagine I go in and order sandwiches and have on a name tag that says....Terrie My Special Day!!! I wonder how far I was out the door before they started laughing!!

Oh by the way...I'm going to try to post a post a day for a bit so scan down if you haven't visited for a while ;o)

March 31, 2009

Now wouldn't you think that on the last day of March it would be a great day? Well not here it wasn't. It was Tatem's birthday and it was snowing. Here Terriebeth is talking to John on the phone. You can't really see the snow but if you blow it up you can really see it!! Here Tatem is saying Yahoo!!! It is snowing on my birthday!! Once again you can't see it, but if you blow it up you can! Weird I know...I hope it works sometimes you can't blow them up and I have no idea why.

Ok Fran this is one of those post we have a deal on;O) Where is yours??

Easter.....

Yes I know everyone else has already posted their fun Easter Pictures!!! I'm starting with the end of our day...At like 8:30 p.m. on Easter, Tim, Tabitha and I dyed our eggs. Tabitha thought it would be fun to "drink " the dye ;o{ She hates this picture!!! ha,ha,ha! Sorry Tab ;o) Tabitha and Flat Megan saying peace and Happy Easter to all!

Tim takes all of 1 minute to dye his dozen eggs...just toss them all in a bowl and stir

Tabitha takes a little more time and concentration

Me I just do what I have to do...to get pretty eggs to crack and eat!!!

Tabitha showing off our 3 dozen eggs...yum!

Tim being a little grouchy by this time...it's only 9ish...and I should be the grouchy one;o)

Me late at night and still smiling...now that is weird!

Tabitha being goofy while I try to get the timer going!!!

Still being goofy...still grouchy

Finally the family Easter Egg picture...yep Tim was done by this time...Ha,ha,ha!

Still going backwards....here is everyone sitting down to our Easter Feast....of course this is after I think it was 3 blessings on the food. It is such a special day, that all the younguns wanted to have a chance to bless the food.

Terriebeth taking pictures!!! I got her first!

Everyone dishing up their yummy food.

I love pictures but I wished they talked like in Harry Potter...because I sure would like to know what everyone is saying....Ha,ha,ha

Before dinner Tim and I gave the grand kids a carrot bat and ball. Here is The Third showing off his. Don't you love the pose???

Caleb showing off his...his didn't turn out so good...but still cute!!

Ethan pointing to his carrot.

Tatem showing off her carrot bat and ball.

4 kids, 4 bats, 4 balls and only two people to throw the ball to them all!!! They did a great job!

Look at all those bats swing and balls flying through the air!! To much fun!!!

Thanks Terriebeth and John for Hosting our Easter Dinner.

We are thankful for the real reason of Easter and started the day by attending church. And ended it by spending it with a few of our favorite things.

Remember to take the time to see the grass, trees, flowers, all coming back to life and know that there is hope. That the trials make us stronger, and most important that we are never alone.

Love ya all

Terrible Thursday!!!!

I know some of you post Thankful Thursday....well today I'm posting Terrible Thursday!!

What a day...it starts off with me being about 3 minutes late to work...which for me is really 13 minutes because I always get to work 10 minutes early, so I was not happy with myself

Then I get an email that is asking a question...to me it was a sad email so I cried while I answered it...keep in mind this is at 7:00 a.m. It might not be sad to other but it is to me...no I can't tell you what the email said..not yet any way. So since I cried it bugged my contacts...go figure, and I really didn't cry that much...to many people around.

Next I could not find a file I needed ....I checked with records and they did not have it....well then I notice the kid is in 8th grade and not 7th like I thought...so I go looking in the 8th grade files and guess what I find??? You guessed it the file.

Then I get a request for another file and all I can find on them is out of district stuff, with a few copies on in district stuff...so I call records and they said they do not have it...so I put out an SOS to the other schools to see if anyone has it.

Then I work through my lunch...well most of it...but that was my choice so I can't complain ;o)

Then I drop the last of my fiber one bar on the floor....not happy and you all will be surprised to know that I picked it up and ate it!!! Yuck!

Ok back to the 2nd file I can't find...me and records decide that I will just make a new file and we will wait and see what happens. No biggy....until I put the new file in with the withdrawn files for the year and guess what I find......you guessed it her file...now how did it get in there without the other stuff???? Some where it has to come back to me???? So now tomorrow I have to eat crow and email records and all the other schools and tell them....I have it...again!

Oh it gets better just wait....I decide I'm getting out on time for once...well of course that doesn't happen but I was only 10 minutes late so I lock up and head up to the main off to drop off some mail, talk to Kathie for about 5-10 minutes, then make the long, long walk to the parking lot only to be blinded by the sun...(what is that??), find my sun glasses and then can't seem to find my car anywhere....then it dawns on my that I was late so I parked on the other side of the building closer to my office!!! So I have to make the long, long, long walk all the way back to my car...Kathie was really good and only said "forgot where you parked?" with a little giggle.

I made it home and remembered that I didn't get stuff ready for my subs coming it tomorrow...so now I have more work to do in the morning and no time because I need to cover the main office until 7:30, so now I will have to go in early to get my stuff done and be down there by 7:00...life is tough.

Now I'm going to exercise and then I have a meeting to go to at 7:00p.m. , so the night is young and who knows how it will end up!!! Ha,ha,ha

I guess I should say I'm thankful for my small trials that help me to see the humor in life ;O)

Four Fabulous Four!!!

Yahoo...Look who turned Four!!!! And no I could not just post four pictures....I tried but there was not way so I posted four pictures of each event!! Fun! ha,ha,ha! The first group is presents ....I picked the four cutest...(at least what I thought were the cutest)....pictures

Next outside to the tramp.....good thing the wind wasn't blowing....

Look at Terriebeths hair....it was wicked windy and my nieces, nephews and grandson would say

If you don't believe me look at Tatem's hair and her hood which is trying to blow it self onto her head as she runs in the house.

Ok there was one more tramp picture here but somehow I deleted it....interesting seeings how I can never delete them. To scared to put it back it in case I mess up everything. Sorry.

Ok Tatem also got Mario Cart Racing Game so here is four of the fun pictures from that...Terriebeth has a great video of her and John playing it....I hope she posts it!

Of course Tatem gets to play first since it is her game...she is playing against The Third
Right away things get tough and The Third has to stand up to drive....and notice that Daddy now is helping Tatem out...it is pretty toughHere Ethan and Caleb take a spin with the help of Grandpa and Mommy...Look at the concentration on their faces....trust me peeps this is not an easy race....

This picture says it all!!!! I love the way she has lifted the steering wheel up and is twisting it like crazy!!! Ha,ha,ha!
