No, really. Where did it go? Between my school ending for the summer, me getting (then quitting) a new job, yard work, birthdays, baseball practice and birthdays I've missed it. Hm, where to start?
I'll start by updating my fitness progress. I'm now around 129 and have never felt better. I'm consuming about 100 calories more than I was last month at this time because I'm satisified (for the most part- what woman is ever TRULY statisfied?) with where I'm at and am now mainly focusing on maintaining this healthy weight & staying toned & fit. I'm almost done with the Turbo Fire dvd set I started a while back & am contemplating what to do next.
I finished up this semester in college with 4 A's and one B (this B I am however very proud of considering it was my first online class and it was PHYSICS!) I am looking forward to having the summer off with the kiddos. I am looking into a job at Hunter's school so that I can be off when he is off & won't have to worry about daycare for him.
Cody brought home a new dog a couple of months ago, Sookie. I don't remember if I've mentioned her before on my Blog or not. But that is her, a few weeks ago. She's almost 50 pounds now! And doing a lot better.
Mother's day was nice. We went to Cody's grandma's house in Fort Worth and spent time with family. Then surprised my mom by coming by her house.
Cody finally got me to go hunting with him. So Saturday, I tagged along with him and his cousin's husband. They shot this hog but made me take a picture with one of their guns (scary ha ha). But I had a lot of fun & all that hiking was great exercise!
Today is Hunter's last day of first grade. He is a little upset about it. He got to school early this morning to give his teacher, Mrs. Stinson, her present and to get one last picture with her.
Speaking of Hunter, I have to brag. Yesterday, I attended his award ceremony. He was one of the "Top Readers" reading over 220 books this year. (Please keep in mind, he started 1st grade as a not-so-confident slower reader & is now Mr. Speedy. Also, each book he reads he had to take a test on.) He got a certificate for his reading and a tshirt (which he wore today). He got all A's on his report card all year long. I'm so proud of him. I cannot believe I'm going to have a 2nd grader!!
Avery- oh Avery. She is a bundle of "joy". She has so much energy and already knows how to get her way. She is something else. She is talking up a storm and never stops. We're still working on potty training but that's okay. We'll get there!
Now, if Avery would just lay down for a nap I could go outside & enjoy that pool.

Meagan! GOOD FOR YOU ON YOUR GRADES!!!! That degree will open doors for you that you never knew existed!
ReplyDeleteAnd you look so good!!!!!
(What is this DVD you are doing?? I want some of that!)
The kids look wonderful and so do you. Did you guys put that hog into the freezer? I bet she would have made some good sausage......
I'm so behind on emails, blogs (both reading and writing) I'm not sure where to start. We are SO BUSY!!! I keep thinking that with more teenage drivers I'll have more help to get kids where they need to go and I can catch up with house stuff in the summer. You know like, gardening, painting the porch, cleaning out the chicken coop, painting the chicken coop (actually, that’s Luke’s job this summer)…..So far that hasn't been the case. It seems the older they get, the busier the big kids get and the more they are gone doing their own business.....
Peter's almost a man now....work, baseball, his honey.....not much room for dear o' mom. Sounds like sour grapes, huh? I just miss him :(
Well, today it's raining. It hasn't rained since the last time I posted....almost 3 weeks ago. So I can get to the computer and do a little catching up.
It's so good to see that you guys are doing well. How are your brother and sister? I haven’t talked to your mom since her birthday and even that was fleeting.
I love and miss you Megan…..
Write again soon….
