last tuesday was mom's bday. She worked, so we took a cake to her and it was huge! Shared it with all her coworkers. She turned 28, wait, that's 38 - she actually had that thought process - it is hard for her to believe she is so close to 40. She says thanks to all the birthday wishes from everywhere! It is amazing how many greetings she got since her bday is listed on facebook!!!
It has finally stopped raining!!! oh my god, it was frustrating - we went from lots of snow to lots of cold rain.....and now it is finally warming up - it better, being almost June, and all.
The veges went in to the ground - and have done well from the rain, but some died. mom has bad luck with lettuce and other "salad greens" - couldn't grow from seed last year, and didn't transplant well this year. The tomatoes, peppers and beans went in and seem to be surviving. Dad built a new bed along the back fence and mom had gone and got all the soil, but it was on hold for completion due to the rain. Mom finished it a couple days ago - today the squashes and corn (we'll try it again - complete failure last year) and other stuff will go in. Mom is researching rhubard and asparagus, and planning where those could go - she'd love to have perennial veges aswell as all these annuals.
We took a trip with mom up to rocky mnt national park for a hike - it is so beautiful up there, but you'll have to take our word for it - we forgot the camera.
We are getting excited for mexico!!!! 1 week to go.

4 months to update.....
So it has been a good but busy 2009. Last entry was just as mom was starting her spring semester at school, and now she is done. We are not going to detail the last 4 months, but touch on the highlights.
It was a very busy semester for mom, she was taking four classes, working 3/4 time and taking care of us.
Dad was doing all he could to help mom, and did a great job holding her together when she felt like it was all too much.
Izaac has been keeping up in preschool, and has decided that all day kindergarten is what he wants to do in the fall - he wants to have the same teacher as I have this year, and wants to do what I've done. Mom and Dad are good with that, cause he seems so comfortable with her and in her classroom, and she is the only teaches full day - and he is bored at home, asking to go to school on the days he doesn't, so they think he is ready.
I am growing and maturing too...I am reading and writing and being bossy and I think I know everything - a very normal kindergartener. I am so good at school - got an award for being so good, and at home I think mom and dad try to stifle my development - they call it staying in line....I am still taking piano - did my performance a few weeks ago, and have a little break right now.
Zac and I both did soccer this spring, but it has felt like a bust. This past winter was balmy, and the spring brought more snow and now rain than we have ever seen. Many cancelled soccer games, many inside days.
We had a wonderful break from the weather on a trip to Arizona in march - got to spend some really good time with grandma, jiddo, and some of mom and dad's old friends....it was awesome!
We have our garden going again this year, added a bed at the back of the yard along the fence, and started growing more veges. We have also started another renovation project - slowly changing the windows in the house (but this is project we are paying someone to do - rather than do it ourselves - except we'll put in the window sills). We are also trying to paint the house - maybe that will get done this summer - if it doesn't rain all summer.
So the rest of the story is in pictures.....
