I think its a record!!

Four posts in one month. That is amazing for me!! I'm patting myself on the back...giving myself a high five...Wow that exerted too much energy!! Now I may have to take a nap! Just kidding. I have been wanting to post for a few days now but the time just hasn't been there. I get on to check weather, other peoples blogs( they write more often than me!!), play on Facebook and sometimes read a chapter at eHarlequin. That about sums up my time on the computer lately. So tonight I thought as long as the little guy was otherwise occupied I would get on and tell you what's been going on here.
Not a lot!! Actually things are going rather well. We have a new neighbor, although we haven't met her yet. She has two small children and doesn't seem to be around when we are. So we will have to work on that.
My job is going well. I am really enjoying it for the most part. Sometimes the kids are a little difficult but the teacher I work with is very good with them. She is also very good about helping us to know what to do with them. So I have enjoyed my time.
James is doing well too, although it has been really hard on him since Keith died. Work just isn't the same with him gone. We are trying to be there for each other and Keith's wife also. She and Keith were very good friends of ours so this has been a really hard transition for all of us. I started going to a dance class with M and some of her other friends. We have a lot of fun and it is something different to do. James doesn't come to the class so it is just us girls and then whoever happens to be there learning too. It has been good to have a girls night out!
Jeremiah is loving school and is doing awesome. I can hardly believe that he is almost done with Kindergarten and will be a First Grader next year. He has grown so much. Only 25 days of school left and then we can have a summer to recuperate!! I am hoping that we will be able to get some stuff done around the house. I think James is going to give the goat away and then we can clean out the dog kennel and use it for the dogs again!! Hallelujah!! Tucker is the diggin'est dog I have ever been around and now Freedom is picking up on it too. So my flowerbeds will all have to be replanted this year. Oh well that's life!
We are looking forward to the end of May not only because school will be out....but the end of May also means....Tawny and her family will come for a visit and Levi and his bride will hopefully move back here. That is the plan right now I guess or they might move a little later, not sure yet. It will be nice to have them back. I am really looking forward to Tawny and family being here as I get to have fun and spoil the Grand babies. Boy do I miss them!!!!!!!
Aidyn is 3 now and Ely is 1 1/2. I get to see them on Web cam and also talk to them on the phone occasionally. Aidyn is really talking good and Ely isn't far behind.
Well I think I have pretty well caught up on news for now. More later.....

Recovering from a long weekend!

Today was a good day. Two of our kiddos were not at school so that made for an easy day. Which was extremely nice after a long, hard weekend.
We worked in my mom's yard on Saturday. She has some huge trees with lots of dead branches. So my sister's family, my brother's family and my family all got together and cleaned up the trees and her yard. We worked from about 10 in the morning until 7:30 at night. Then finally had to quit. It was a long day but the yard and trees look awesome and now hopefully she won't worry about the kids playing under the trees. She has really been worried that some of the branches could come down and hit one of them while they are playing. We all had a good time even though it was hard work.
Then Sunday we went to church in the morning, then shopping right afterward. Then it was grab a quick bite of lunch and head up to our friends place to help her move an 800 pound file safe. That was a lot of work right there!! Once we got the safe in place and unloaded some other furniture it was off to the neighbors to help them raise their flagpole up again. The flag had ripped the rope down in a wind storm and they had to take the pole down to restring it. So we helped get it back up so they could fly the flag again. Really missed seeing it fly.
We are doing a lot of praying for my Brother-in-law and his family as they are planning on moving back to Billings in the near future. So PLEASE pray that all will go well with that. They feel they are in God's will and that is the best place to be so we will see what happens.
Hope you all are doing well. Take care!!

Having a little fun...

My daughter and I are messing with my page. The fun part is that she is two states away and we are on the webcam as we play and get it figured out. She designed my new header and is helping me figure out how to get three columns up and running. Although I like it both ways with 2 columns or 3 so may play with that a little.

Anyway decided to share a picture while I was at it. My husband and son were having a little fun of their own the other day. So I snapped a quick pic of them.

Here is a picture of my Grandbabies that my daughter sent to me. They have gotten so big since the last time I saw them!!

Here's hoping it works!! I got a new computer and have been spending time on it setting things up the way I want them to be. I am working full time at the school now and totally love it! Might even get to have the summer off as James has gone to flat rate at his work.
Some very hard news since my last post...a very good friend of ours had a heart attack and died. He was just a few years older than me. His wife is doing pretty good for now. We all were just devastated by this loss. James was hit hardest as he had just lost his younger brother in September and now his best friend. He is doing ok, but I worry about him.
I started going to a dance class with my friend M( she is the one who lost her husband). There are five of us in a group that decided to start this class and boy are we having fun. It is a swing dance class and we are all learning the basic steps right now. It has been a kick!
