Great day hiking

We had a great day today - hung out at home this morning, mom cleaned up the house, and then we went on a nice little hike with our friends, Sadie and Cooper, who are mine and izaac's ages, and their parents. Once again, we are out like a light.

Third Tooth out!

Well, I lost my third tooth last night while i was brushing my teeth. I just went to the dentist on thursday and had my teeth cleaned so it was nice and clean for the tooth fairy.

We have had a busy week. My grandma was in town helping my aunt Nada with her baby since she had shoulder surgery and couldn't lift him for a few days. So we skipped school on monday and visited and again we visited on thursday and then mom had a scholarship interview on friday and mom left us with grandma and aunt nada again. On monday and tuesday we worked on our above ground garden, and then yesterday mom finished it off - it is almost ready for some vegetables - we just have to wait until mid may to plant so they don't freeze.

Yesterday we had breakfast at grandma's with all our cousins and aunts and uncles - it was so fun, we hadn't seen anybody (except aunt nada and cousin dante) for a while and had missed everybody. Then dinner was with our friends sadie and cooper - and their parents - mom and dad's friends - kate and steve. They have one of those huge trampolines and we bounced for hours - which made us fall asleep in an instant last night! Good times!

New camera has been figured out!

Can you see I lost my tooth?

Back to school

We started school again last week after two weeks off - it was pretty easy to get back in to the swing of school. Then dad finished his work week and mom started her 4 days in a row, and we just had 3 days off all together. We have had some chilly days, but mostly good weather. Yesterday was almost 80degrees and today it is snowing. gotta love spring in colorado. We got most of our raised garden built over the last three days, just need to finish up a little when the snow melts - we'll get some pictures up too, since we got our new camera.
Dad starts his work week tonight, so mom has a week left before she goes back to work. She handled the 4 12hour shifts in a row just beautifully. The new schedule is working well.

NO camera

well, the camera is history, no more, drowned in the toilet water at eldora ski lodge. Mom says she would die too if she was immersed in toilet water. even clean toilet water. So this blog is going to be boring with only writing for awhile, until a new camera is purchased.

Yesterday marked a big day for mom. She has, for the last 3 months, been working on completing her application for her masters, an application for a scholarship, a nurse recognition information packet and getting our taxes together, and yesterday she turned in the last of all of it. So wish her luck on getting into school, and getting money to pay for it!

It was cold the last couple days, we didn't do much yesterday, tried to ride bikes but froze. Today we got out more, still cold, and we are acting up. Dad is giving zac a time out as we write, and I have been rebelling against mom all day. Spring is here, but warm weather would be appreciated. We did plan our garden, we hope it warms up enough to build it in time to plant stuff in it. We are baking our own bread and hope to be growing some of our own food this summer.
