Oh where oh where have I been. . .





I know. . . I have been really bad about posting latley. I like the rest of you just have tooooo much going on. So here it is in a nutshell.
Friday we had the Jog a Thon at my little mans school-it is a large fund raiser that helps the school with funding. This year they raised more than $60,000. They get pledges per mile or a flat pledge and then run as many laps around the high school track. They have 90 minutes to complete their laps. Little man broke his record-he ran 29 laps this year. His goal was 30 laps-So his little legs ran 7 and a quarter miles!!!! He has been quite tired all weekend and rightfully so. Ike ran along with him and lil love and I did a whopping 4 laps-at oranges, drank the water, visited at every turn and had a great time.
Sat was the Griz football game-got to see my good friend Stacey Bauer from Butte-it was so great to see you Stacey-It was a close game-but a lot of fun-the kids like going down on the field after the game to bring their favorite players twinkies and play on the field.
Nana and Papa came over this weekend and just the girls went shopping today-we got our little pumpkins from Benson's Farm and had a great time. Then we were off to Y Soccer-Holy Cow-tomorrow am is going to come early and I think I should catch some ZZZZZZ! Have a great week!

Book from CKU





The Halloween photo is of a few of my favorite decorations-I love the Fall and could not wait to put my Halloween/Fall stuff up-I am a little obsessed-We have been thumbing through the Halloween costumes and trying to decide what we are going to be this year-my lil love wants to be Wall-E-and my lil man wants to be a cowboy-well that was yesterday-he will change his mind several times-that's why we really "wait " on the costume for him. Now our little girl-different story-Wall-E it will be-she figures it out and sticks with it-
The album is the album track class I took at CKU this summer-I made a 10 year anniversary book for Ike and I. It was so much fun to look at the pictures and how we have changed-especially our hair-Sorry-the pictures aren't that great-
Big Griz game this weekend and Homecoming-I was going to run in the Homecoming Hustle run-but when I found out it was with the parade-I opted out-considering my yorkie is my pace dog-there is NOOOOO way I am keeping up with the parade-I hope you are all having a great week-enjoy life it goes by way to fast!

Camp Limberlimbs




Ok-I feel much better now that camp is all over-all 54 campers and counselors made it home from the Griz Game and I feel much better-We had a lot of fun-Friday night the U of M dance team came and the campers really liked that-they stayed for almost 1.5 hours-then Sat was the Griz game and Sat night we had a costume contest-Sun-Life Flight came in to show the kids the helicopter (nobody was sick)-and the kids really liked that and then we had our Olympic races and then Monte came. My little man was tired and still is-he stayed up Sat night for the ultimate ping pong championship until 1:00 am-(the older campers begged me to let him stay with them)
I missed my lil love and my husband and I was glad it was all done for another year-we had a ton of fun!!!!
I am sorry I didn't post until now I am having computer issues and I still can't get the Internet in my office to work-
Just got news that the little bag I made below using Creative Cafe Products is going to be used on their web-site-I am really excited!!!!!!
I hope you are all having a great week-and enjoy the nice weather-it has been in the 80's here!

Grammar Lesson

1. Rule 1- always capitalize the first word "of a sentence."

Okay-former teacher-I learned that you need to completely explain things to 1st graders- I was helping little man with his spelling words-we kept going over that you only capitalize a word if it is at the beginning of a sentence or someones name etc. So he had his words down and if they get all the word correct and the sentences on Wed. they don't have to take the test on Fri-well...Wed came and went, and I said to his teacher, "how did he do on his spelling test." Great she said-but he capitalized the o in of? Well I went my way and in the car on the way home, I asked how was your spelling test? He said great mom! I said you spelled all of the words right and your sentence was perfect, but I said you only made one little mistake. He said, well what was it? I said, you capitalized the O in of-
He said, yeah-it was the first word of the test and you told me to always capitalize the first word!!!!! oh my-I feel bad-he listened and too well-bless his little heart!

My girl is having a daughter daddy weekend this weekend and she is planning a big slumber party with her dad-we are really going to miss them, but are looking forward to camp! I hope you all have a great weekend-
Sarah-this one is for you honey-so that you would have something to read today!!!

Busy as a BEE!



Busy as a Bee-
It has been soooo crazy-finishing up stuff for camp which is this weekend! I am so excited we have 40 campers and 25 counselors-It is called "Camp Limberlimbs," a camp for kids with Juvenille Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and other auto-immune disorders-It is so much fun-I have become the director somehow??? We are all going to a Griz game on Saturday-which should be a ton of fun for the kids. I will post pictures on Sunday. I have been finishing up my kits, and doing spelling test reviews (wow, I cannot believe my little man is old enough for that.) My husband asked each one of them on the way into dinner, what the best part of their day was, little man said, "my spelling test." Lil love said, "show and share." She was able to bring her stuffed dog, because I wouldn't let her bring Griz to school. She did put Griz's leash and collar on him though-
This felt has been looking at me for months, so due to the fact I have not done anything but kits and camp stuff-I wanted to sew this lil bag tonight-It is creative cafe felt and is a cute bag for a little love! I wonder how long until mine spots this one.
I promise I will get better next week at posting again-just too many things going on-
and I don't think my walking partner Stacie is going to let me out of our nightly walks/runs to blog-I will sneak in after though! Hope you are all doing well!
