Jello

My brain is officially jello...

I just finished Algebra homework for the week with the help of Jeff Seehafer, my old high school math teacher! I had to call and he came over to help me out. Thank goodness!! I was so confused I was almost ready to cry!! I think I have a good grasp on it now so I should do fine with my test at the end of the week. Wish me luck!!

Georgina

Warren's oldest sister, Georgina, passed away last night. She had been sick for awhile with Congestive Heart Failure. Georgina was a beautiful person and she will be missed by all that knew and loved her. We ask that you keep our family in your prayers at this time. Thank you.

Arboretum

Since it is so darn cold outside I thought maybe I would reminisce about the summer! In August my friend Jenny and I took our kids to the Arboretum. They had a thing there on mazes and the kids had a great time even though it was over 100 degrees!! What a difference from today's temp of 10 degrees! This is one of the pics from that day and I just love this one!! It is Ally, Lucas & Cole with their friends Alexa and Brett. Hope this picture of a beautiful summer day warms all of you up!!!

Algebra 101

One of the classes that I have right now is Algebra. I have to say that it is going pretty good so far but I was thinking...how many actually remember how to do Algebra? For the rest of my math class, I am going to challenge all of you to a math problem every week. Don't forget to show your work!! HAHA!

Here is this week's problem...

One number is 3 less than another. If 10 times the smaller number minus 4 times the larger number is 24, find the two numbers.

Good luck!!

This and that...

Here's a couple more pictures from Ally's birthday the other night. Cole was getting bored with his sister getting attention so he thought he would be a little crazy for the camera.

No More Birthday Spankings!!

Every year on the kids' birthdays, my mom & dad come over for supper and grandpa gives the kids their birthday spankings. Dad had a surprise for Ally this year and she couldn't help but celebrate...that's right...NO MORE SPANKINGS for her!!! She was ecstatic!!

Ally's Birthday

Warren and I took a moment to pose with Ally for a nice picture on her birthday while her brothers took a moment to show her how much they love her...I'll bet I don't get another picture of the boys kissing their sister for a VERY LONG time!!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!

I know that she's not a baby anymore, but in my eyes, she always will be. Today my little Alexandra Noelle is 12!! She is growing up so fast!! She is growing into a beautiful individual and her dad and I could not be more proud to say that she is OUR daughter.

On a side note, I forgot how much fun it is to update this blog!! I'm on break from school right now, so I have been playing around with a few different things. Ally got to choose the new colors since it is her birthday month. School is going well...I have a 3.87 GPA!! Maybe now that I have a handle on it, I can keep up with the updates!!!
