1 Year

We have been in our house one year now. We have had the best year. We have been healthier and warmer. I thought that I would never get over being kicked out of the rental, but what a blessing. I never knew that owning your own home would be so much work. The kids still tell me that they miss our old house and yard. I miss our old yard too, until I mow the yard now and it take about 20 minutes and not 2 hours. I love living in Cowley and the friend that we have here. Everyone that lives here makes our town the greatest place to live and raise your kids. Thanks Everyone.

College Class

Keith and I started this semester taking a college class. We wanted to get better at using our computer programs. We were afraid that our kids would pass us up, and know more about the programs than we do. I already think that they know more now. It is on every Tuesday night from 6:30 to 9:30. It has really been fun. We are getting to spend time together and trying to learn more at the same time. We are both getting A's right now. Kieth checks his grade more than I do, but that is okay with me. We are right now getting all of our work done in class. Its a good thing that we have enough time to do it all in class and ask for the teachers help.

Commandment 11

We have a new commandment in our house. Have you ever heard of the 11th commandment? I had not heard of it in till today. Betsy and Clara ran in the room tonight after school and Clara had asked Betsy to shut the door behind them, so Betsy slammed the door a little hard. I went to the door and opened it and as I opened the door Betsy said sorry momma sorry. I then asked her to please not slam the doors. She then looks at me and said but momma Clara commanded me to do it.
I just love the little things that my kids come up with. How could I be mad at her after that. We have had a good laugh about this all night.

Sick Kids

Having sick kids is no fun. Aaron got sick last week around Wednesday. He was coughing so bad and by Friday I took him into the doctor. He had croop again. He had just had it a month before. They gave him some steroids as they did the last time. I thought that he was on the road to recovery, then he seemed to get worse. They only get worse before they get better right. I keep him home all weekend and in the house, which he hated. On Monday we went out and went to Powell. It made him very tired and made him cough again. On Tuesday morning I woke up to Libby throwing up. I now had them both home sick. Libby stayed home from schoool on Tuesday then she tried to go on Wednesday but only made it intill 9:00. I think that everyone is getting a bit better but knock on wood. I hope to be back out and about in the real world again soon.
