Frustrated =]

Wow, I can't believe how easy it is to accidentally erase your post before you hit publish....argh. My camera cable is still missing in action. I suppose it could possibly be in one of the dozen or so unpacked boxes....yeehaw. lol So wish me luck and I'll try and get some pics up soon. Ciao!

soccer season

Having 3 boys playing soccer is always crazy. It would be tooooooo easy to have them all on the same team. Yesterday we went to Benjamin's soccer game over in Burlington and found out he was 20 minutes late for it. So he jumped into the game then Paul and Michael (who are thankfully on the same team) were on the opposite end of the field warming up for their game that was getting ready to start. It was a little crazy since I ended up watching both games from the playground with Madelynne somewhere near the middle of the field....lol. It was fun though. Theron was home to come with us and cheer them on. Benjamin's game got over in the middle of Paul and Michael's so he volunteered to sub-in for another team that was short players....holy hannah.....three hours later and we finally headed for home. Benjamin is HUGELY into soccer. He asked me the other day if he could play in high school or the olympics. I say the sky's the limit....go for it. lol. I finally got batteries for my camera and took a bunch at the games yesterday then this morning I couldn't find the cable to download them to the computer....sigh. It'll turn up. I'm sure if I follow Jacob and see where he stashes the goods after he's crawled off with them then I'll hit the jackpot. lol. so till then.....hasta =]

....and God bless the internet =]

Hey all! We are officially back online. Not having internet the past two weeks has been quite the chore. It was amazing how much more time I had to do dishes, laundry, vacuum, sweep, mop...rofl. haha! I am extremely happy to be online again. I feel like I'm connected to the world (or family and friends I keep in touch with) again. It's GRAND!

We are loving our new house. Theron only got a small handful of days here in the new house before he was on the road again. We miss him tons. He'll be back after the weekend though for a couple days. It will be nice when his schedule has him home more often. Anyway, enough about his schedule and more about the house, eh? haha It's the biggest house we've ever lived in and we fit perfectly. The boys still gripe that they can't have their own room, but so it goes with a family of 4 boys and one girl....she'll always be the lucky one with her own room. :) She's loving it.

My camera has been dead and I haven't broken down and bought rechargeable batteries yet so I don't have any pictures to download tonight....sorry folks. =] I'll get on it.......in a day or so...haha

I was settling in with my little computer here tonight and going through the kazillion emails I had in my inbox after forever and my doorbell rang. (It's a very annoying doorbell that is more like a buzzer on a gameshow signaling that you've lost...anyway) and it startled me so I didn't want to go answer it alone so I dragged Ben out of bed and made him go with me to answer it. Pretty pathetic...kind of like when I took Paul with me to see what that loud noise was, right SheraLee? hahahaha! Anyway, it was a dozen or more young girls between the ages of 12 and 17 all bringing me dinner for tomorrow night. They'd made it at their activity earlier. It was really sweet. I was relieved it wasn't really the boogie man and they came with a plate of brownies in tow so that made my night (major brownie junkie). Anyway, we're good. I could keep rambling and rambling very easily so I'll quit and kick Michael off to bed since he's dragging out his homework. Hasta

new stuff...i tell ya

It's kind of weird being home owners. I can't believe how stressed out I made myself this morning before all 2,139 pages were signed this morning. LOL. I was literally sick to my stomach and nauseated and then went to the bank for an hour and signed my life away as well as my first born and then I was fine. =] hahahahaha! It was pretty funny. I've been more stressed out lately than ever and in the middle of packing up a bookshelf I came across a letter from my mom the last month of my mission. She asked me if I was stressed (since I'm such a fan of change) and then told me to lighten up and think of it as an adventure. Hello!! I could just picture her saying that to me too. It was a bittersweet moment. Anyway, it was a good little piece of advice brought to my remembrance again...............

................ok, Benjamin came in and did a little session of "who's on first, what's on second" with me and I lost my train of thought as well as lost a few inches on my fuse...heehee. Anyway, Theron got to see the house for the first time today. He'd never seen the inside. Talk about going on faith that my dad and I knew what we were talking about. ha! He liked it a lot and is excited to get in and make it home. The missionaries tracted into our house while I was hanging out with my folding chairs (for soccer and tball games) for furniture and will let the ward know we moved in. I guess we can't go into hiding this year...totally kidding. (wink wink) =] We'll be offline for about a week though so when we come back I'll have some new pictures. So I'll catch ya'll on the flip side. lol
