B-O-R-I-N-G


I think my life is kind of boring, not a lot going on, so why blog about it. BUT my lovely sister and her handsome husband "suggested" that I update my blog.

Yes, my life is boring, but I am totally OK with that. I get enough excitement being married to Jimmy dealing with him, racing and his business. Did I mention that he sells salt in the winter and it "forgot" to snow the month of January and most of February...that adds some excitement!!! Add the crazies to the mix and you have about all I need to keep me on my toes.

We have not done a whole lot the past few months but stay locked up in the house. It was cold and I don't do cold!!! Well, minus having a cold. I seem to do that rather well. It has lingered for the past several weeks, but I do believe I am on the mend.


Spring finally came and we have been trying to enjoy it BEFORE the snow starts again this weekend. My kids are very outdoor kids. They would swing and play in that stupid sandbox all day long. The girls have "grown-up" this year and have decided to start driving Isaac's quad too. They are both doing a great job. In the words of Allison "I only hit one tree on the way to Aunt Jodi's pond!" Yes, I am proud of only ONE tree!!! I decided to take the kids on a walk on Tuesday, Jimmy got Isaac's 4-wheeler out, Allison went "running" and Ashley rode with Jimmy...some walk I know!!! I decided to walk to the mail box by myself. It was such a nice night. I looked at my watch to see what time it was (to make sure I had enough time to get home and get the kids in the tub, this time change thing is killing us!). I went on my solo walk and was gone 7 minutes, yes a FULL 7 minutes. In that time, Ash decided to "learn" to drive the 4-wheeler, Alli hit a tree and Jimmy managed to fall into Aunt Jodi's pond. All of them were screaming "Where have you been?" and "What took you so long?" Seven minutes people!!! You would think Jimmy could have it under control, but no, he is the ring leader!!

(sorry, she was moving and is out of focus)




Ashley also got invited to her first birthday party. She was beyond excited. Thanks Kerri and Addy for the invite. Part of the extra excitement was Jennie and La La Land painting faces. As ALWAYS, they did a wonderful job. She was thrilled that she got to get her face painted and the big kids didn't AND she got to wear it to Lowes and dinner. Oh, the GREAT things in life!!!!


Yeah, life is boring, but good!!!!!

Thanks, for updating sis in law. I love that your family is outdoorsy. I've made up my mind. Jodi just lost her new bathroom. I'm buying bleachers to go around the pond so that we can invite friends and family over to see the hijinx that happen out there. More reason for a quad in my future. Don't tell Jodi. You guys are awesome!
