Life in Nebraska ....

Two of my favorite things..... My two brown eyed boys! And I'm back here to report I have number one down on my to do list. Everyone told me to give myself a break....well some things can't wait!:) Tonight is the last hockey game of the year. They've rented the icebox this time. Zerrick is quite excited....I'm being patient....:) A good day to all of you.....

Today we have spring! Wonderful sunshine. Spring birds singing. The dog is running in circles in excitement in the yard....at least till he noticed I was watching!.......Wouldn't it be fun to be that uninhibited? This week's agenda looks overwhelming to me. That's why I'm sitting here typing meaningless stuff out. But maybe I should make my list here of all the projects to get done till tax day and see if I can mark them all off one by one???? So here's my project list: 1, Finish entering GRC bookwork, 2, Unscramble my own messy bookwork, 3,Clean Windows. (They badly need cheering up). 4,Clean 5 closets that are especially causing me stress( I heard Matt mumbling in the hallway the other day ...something about getting the door shut before it all fell back out) I think it's time.... 5, I have to sew. Soon. My clothes are getting tight...the pull up at odd places....and it's not my dryer shrinking clothes this time! 6, I am two years behind on my scrap bookin...

All adds up to a Baby! We hope! In Ocotber!. I went in Monday and got to hear the heartbeat.....That was a relief....Thank you God! I've been telling a few special few here and there and I"ve been hearing this..." Well good. And now we'll keep praying..." So that means ALL these people have been praying for us! Wow! As I'm sitting here I'm eating saltines w/ butter on! Gross huh? But I couldn't think of what else to eat and I had to eat lest I puke. Ah sick! I'm too old for this! I think in the 20's one can do this w/ ALOT more dignity....I'm almost sure! So anyhow, That's what going on for me. I've lost my brain....I"m gaining something though in the area of weight....Hopefully it all adds up to good things....precious baby.....Zerrick's ordering pink things this time! We shall see. I know I sure like my two boys...boys are fine.....but babies are fine no matter what! Oh and he's saying he wan...

Yesterday I asked my oldest boy which one of my two boys he thinks is my favorite. He answered with a "ME"...in this tone of voice that was like "Duh, Mom. Everyone knows that!" I found that hilarious! So then I asked my two year old the same question and he yelled out "ME" in the same tone of voice! I really like my two favorite boys!

We had Mike's here for a couple days this week. Keagan and their youngest are ten months apart. I got a kick out of watching them play. They are the same distance apart as Mike and Matt are....it gives me a little peak of what Mike and Matt would have been like as kids. They're still big buddies today.... Last week while Anita had her surgery I had her kids. They had great fun all day....from dress up, to.... reading to each other.... This was especially sweet I thought..... Matt and Co. spent an evening working in the garage... Zerrick was learning to make knots..... Keagan decided to cut his paci apart.... It did little good. He just found a "diffuent" one .... One day my boys found helmets and shades.... Quite the cool dude huh? :) Keagan decided he needed to see what Matt was listening to. Whenever Matt is on his lap top the boys are always right there...."I wanna see"....I think it's a guy thing. Zerrick wanted a picture taken of his baseb...

This is what we see out our window today... The wheel/ plow garden is about 60 feet from our front window....and the red shed about 100 ft.... beyond that we should be able to see fence posts, a field, and then the tree line and bridge down the road and beyond..... Normally we'd be able to see things much more like this.....
