President's Day Holiday

Jake and Sam spent the day working on

Sam's Leather merit badge. Jake

made a sheath for his knife and Sam

made a sheath for his pocket knife.

We have to Thank Randall Yearout

(Piper's Dad) for giving us some tools

this year at Christmas. Without these

tools, Sam and Jake wouldn't have been

able to make such cool designs. I don't

know if you can see very well but Sam

made an Eagle on his Sheath. I was very

impressed. But that is not hard since I am

his mother. Later that day we took the

kids to see the "Body Works" exhibit at

the Science Center. It was a very cool

display of the human anatomy. I just hope I

look that good with all my skin peeled off.

Just kidding. Anyways, I learned quite

alot and it was cool to see everything up

close and personal.

Liz's first perm

Liz wanted to get highlights in her hair but I thought she was too young.

So I decided to let her get a perm instead. Doesn't she look cute?

I forgot to tell her that perms kind of sting, and that they are stinky.

But after all was said and done I think she was glad that she had it done. And the cute hair stylist behind Liz is our cute friend Jessica!!! She is the best!

Air Temperature today......

81 degrees!

An Apology
For all those who have gotten wierd relpies on their blog from my children, I do apologize. I thought it would be cute and told them how to log in under my name. Then I went back to the blogs that they replied to and saw all the trash talk. I want you to know that I did remind them that if they couldn't say anything nice then don't say anything at all...........

Liz and Mom's birthday

Tradition

Liz and I on her birthday last year went to

my friend Tiffany's work (Beauty Brands)

and had a pedicure and manicure. We had

such a fun time that we decided to do it every

year on each of our birthday. So as you see from

above we had a great time again this time on my

birthday. I don't get pedicures very often. I

forgot how much I love them!!!

Flowers in February??????

These pictures are for all the family members

who live in states where is still freezing, or less

in most cases. We planted flowers today. As

you can see the date at the bottom of the pictures.

We are also going to be trying our hand at planting

a garden in containers. The kids above planted

sugar peas. We will also be planting spinach, tomatos

green peppers, basil, chives, dill, and oregano. And if

I have room, I may try and grow cucumbers on a

trellis just to see if I can do it. So our summers

may be hot but atleast we can enjoy the winters.

We will just be inside when you guys start

going outside!!!!!!!
