I miss posting to this...

Is 6 months too long to have left it??? I think I will start adding to this again. I am not sure if anyone still looks at this but If you do, let me know so I know I won't be wasting my time!! I hope all is well and know that we are all well here... Until Later!

I actually have another correction!!

Ok, upon looking back at the posts MB did, I must say for those of you who don't know us all that well that Marybeth is older than me. 3 years 4 months and 7 days to be exact!!! ;0) I just wanted to be sure the facts were straight!!

Hardy Har Har!!!

This is the family room

This is the Master bedroom

Well Marybeth, you have out done yourself!! You are a silly goober but you are the best sister and beautiful. That being said, that was the only truths in the last post! I AM NOT PREGO!!! April fools courtesy of Marybeth! I will update you all on how things are going and then I will promptly change my password! ;0)

We are all doing great. Michael is down to 45 days until his retirement ceremony! The ceremony is May 15 for those of you who may wish to come. We can't believe how fast it is coming! He has now had 4 different jobs to choose from, a couple of interviews with 3 of them. I am not sure but I think it is more stressful with more choices. I was happy with the first one! We will see and I trust that God will help direct us. I think He already has honestly!

For the boys, they are going into their last semester/9 weeks of school. I am really finding this hard to believe as well. Dylan has done very well this past 9 weeks making the a/b honor roll with 4 A's and 5 B's. Dalton has also made the honor roll with 8 A's and 1 B. I am so proud of them both. Dawson has been put into the AR (something to do with reading) program at school. Apparently they don't usually do this for kindergarten but he is doing so well reading that she decided to put him into it. He is doing very well in all other areas also but he doesn't get A's and B's. I am not even sure if he will get them next year. We will see.

The house is coming along fine. I think we are about ready to move in. The paint is done, I just need to finish sealing the grout in the hall, foyer, kitchen and dining room and we should be set. It is really looking good and I am ready to be down to one household. It is really a pain trying to take care of two, paying utilities at both, maintaining yards at both etc.!

This is Dannie

Most of you know that we got a little dog in January. Her name is Dannie and she is doing great. She is a good girl and cute as a button! I am not sure how big she will get. They said at PAWS that she should get to be about 50 pounds or so and I thought that was a great size. I am not sure however that she will even make 25. She is an Australian Shepperd mix, (again, so they say!) Her birthday is October 17 so she is not quite 6 months old.

I will have to take more pictures of the house tomorrow as I don't really have any good ones of the front with all of the rubbish out of the way. I am hoping that this post will sufice for a couple of days (MARYBETH) and I will try hard to keep you better informed. I didn't really think anyone looked at this anyway.

I hope you all had as good a laugh as I did with all the posts courtesy of MB, I only have one correction. I was never a Girl Scout. I was in Brownies. I didn't want to go on to Girl Scouts. It was too sissy for me. I was happy with my trees and bugs.

So much has happened in the past few months. First I want to say THANKS to Marybeth for keeping my blog going. I do not know what I would have done with out her. She is the best sister anyone could ask for and I thank God everyday for allowing me to share my life with her. Not only is she the best sister, but she is absolutely Beautiful. I aspire to be like her. I guess that is enough about her.
On to some new information about me and Mike. We do not know how it happened as the doctors said it would not. I guess Mike's little guys/gals are better swimmers than we thought. I am absolutely positive that this one will be a girl!! Oh and if you have not figured it out yet, WE'RE PREGNANT!! 3 months now...I am taking calls of congrats so feel free to call or email. I am going to need lots of support!
By the way, Marybeth, this is no laughing matter!

Well, here it is Thursday the 26th of March and still Susan has not noticed I have taken over her Blog. I am in the process of getting the "goods" on Susan right now. Dad had a couple of good stories that those of us over the age of 30 would have enjoyed but they were not suited for young eyes. Something about Mike bringing Susan home and them staying in the car for long periods of time and the windows fogging up and the shocks getting a work out...I had to stop him there...TMI!!!
My mind has really drawn a blank...which is normal no matter how irritating...so I have no other stories to post at this minute but trust you me (or is it trust me you?) I will come up with something sometime soon! Maybe I will post a baby picture or two. I think I have some with her in diapers...sagging cloth diapers!
Let me see what I can come up with. I am sure I can make this blog thing exciting for Susan (or at least we will enjoy it). Stay posted and if you know someone who knows Susan's blog page let them know what is going on. We want to spread the word...hopefully this will get Susan to post about herself, and the boys (Big and small and inbetween).

This was Susan back when she was a girl scout. Kinda hard to believe she was this short. Check out the smile. It goes from ear to ear. If I remember correctly she sold more cookies than I did. That sucked!

It is getting late.

I found this picture of Susan and the rest of us (minus Tommy) and thought some of you might like seeing what she looked like as a kid....Wasn't she a cutie!!
Well here it is 8:48 pm. I am waiting for the Banana Bread to finish cooking so I can turn the oven off and head to bed. It has been a really long day for me. I talked to Susan a couple of different times today. She seems to be doing pretty good...not that she has blogged that. It is just my guess! She did not mention the boys or what they were doing (I think they were in school while we were talking). I do know that there a couple of workers at the house though. Can't remember what she said they were doing as I tuned her out and went on with thoughts of what the dog was up to and how her obedience class went and what the boys were up to? Everyone once in a while I would throw in the customary "really?" or "uh huh."
Well I guess tomorrow I will pay more attention and then I will post that for everyone to read. Hope you are all enjoying my attempt of shaming Susan into blogging more and until my next blog stay well!

It's just me...Little old me!

Hey y'all,
My name is Marybeth. I am Susan's younger sister who used to be older. I have been waiting on Susan to update her blog and have finally given up on her. She was silly enough to give me her password (bet she will change that soon) so now I can update it for her or just use it as my own sounding block. I am not really sure how to do much with this so I will be practicing off and on (or atleast till she changes her password or cusses me out). I would fill you in on how "the three D's" are but I have not heard much about them lately. I do know almost too much about her contractor or lack of contractor but not much about my darling nephews. I hope that does not come across as being bitter because I really do not mean for it to. I am just information deprived! I think we should all join in and let Susan know that we need more information about the boys and Mike and herself and little Dannie, Danny, Dany...see, I do not even know how to spell the dogs name but I have no problem naming the contractor or lacking contractor (Ken)!
Alright, till next time, have a great day!

This is for you Marybeth!!! ;0)

Hello all, I am not sure that anyone really looks at this anymore but I am sorry that I have not posted in a couple of months!! We have been so busy with the remodeling of the house on Ironwood and school and all the extras time just gets away from us. Things are going well if slow at the house. We are finally getting paint on the walls though and the flooring guys will be there tomorrow to start putting down the tile. We are so ready to move in and are hoping that we will be in by the end of the month!! It would make my life much easier that is for sure. I will get back on here later, (I hope) and post a couple of pictures of the house.

I hope all is well with you and please stay in touch.
