Our church's homeschool group had a field trip to an animal hospital.

This was after our homeschool group Valentine's Party, party pooped.

I got to see my best friend, Mireille, from grade school the other day. I've been friends with her for 26 years, yikes. She's been "hiding out" in other countries for 10 years so I only get to see her from time-to-time.

Here's another friend I got to see a short time ago, Aunie Buck. We've been friends for 34 years now. We used to drink from our baby bottles together, cute huh?

All the boys had birthdays

For some reason or 20 others I have completely neglected putting anything family related on our blog. I'm sorry, I'm going to try & make it up to you now.

So all the boys celebrated birthdays in the last 2 months. Carter turned 2, Travis turned 34 & Preston turned 4.
Here goes....

Well, I promised that I would take as many pictures of the younger kids as I did of the older kids. I just let myself down. I didn't get a photo of Carter on his birthday, so this was taken shortly before so we'll count it.
We celebrated both little boys' birthdays in Eugene at Grandma Becky's house. So much easier than having family come to us, more fun for the kids too.
Carter is still such a sweet little guy. He loves to be in the mix of everything. We have started being more quiet so he can have time to talk & guess what? It's actually working, he's talking now.

Here is Travis turning 34 & I did manage to get all 34 on the cake. It was pretty smokey after he blew out all the candles. I had all the lights off so you could really get the feel of how much light 34 candles gave off. I didn't plan for when he actually blew them out, pretty dark.

All of Preston's photos from his birthday party were a little too busy to put up here. This is a photo of him at a festival in town. He really liked being up on the big bike. He didn't ask to get one, but just in case he asks later "NO".
He had a great party at our place & he got to invite 4 friends. He loves his boy friends & literally prays for them at every meal. Of course the siblings & mom's came too. We had a total of 13 kids in our cramped little place. The kids had a blast.
It was hilarious to see how the girls were playing & then the boys. The boys loved to harass the girls by trying to break the door down. The girls said, "NO BOYS ALLOWED!!" Loved it.

What the......????

Ok, right a baby that can be aborted can't live outside the womb? These people who really do believe this are intentionally ignorant. I am so sad when I think of how these women will feel when the reality hits them.

Medical board revokes license of abortion doctor

By CHRISTINE ARMARIO

The Associated Press

A Florida agency has revoked the license of a doctor accused of medical malpractice in a botched abortion in which authorities say a live baby was placed in the trash.

The Florida Board of Medicine on Friday found Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique (ren-uh-LEEK') guilty of medical malpractice and delegating responsibility to unlicensed personnel.

An administrative complaint said Renelique was scheduled to perform an abortion on a teenager who was 23 weeks pregnant.

According to the complaint, Sycloria Williams gave birth at a Hialeah clinic after waiting hours for Renelique to arrive. A clinic owner placed the baby in the trash. Police recovered the decomposing remains a week later.

Renelique and his attorney declined to comment after the hearing.

My new addiction

20 Years Ago I was....
13, and was just starting High School, such anxiety as I think of it now.

10 Years Ago I was....
23, and had been married 1 year and been having a marvelous time.

5 Years Ago I was....
28, and loved not having to have a job so I could take care of our precious 1 year old. Wow, 1 kid that's a great memory right there.

3 Years ago I was....
30, had just had my 2nd child & was wondering if I would ever survive it. Preston was sleeping in the bathroom at the time - in a bassinet of course.

So Far this year I...
moved to an apartment & started homeschooling Kindergarten, celebrated 11th wedding anniversary, celebrated a 2nd(soon) 4th & 6th birthday.

Yesterday I...
wasted time on the computer in the morning, taught school in the afternoon & went to the library with Carter last night. Oh yeah, watched & fell asleep during "24".

Tomorrow I will...
work out, teach school, go to a friends house to let the kids play & eat dinner with them, then off to church in the evening.

Next year I will...
be living in Eugene in a house with a BACKYARD so the kids can get all the wonderful energy out somewhere nice instead of right by me!!!
Celebrate my 12th anniversary, celebrate a 3rd, 5th & a 7th birthday, teaching 1st grade & Kindergarten.
