20 YEARS!!! My high school reunion.

I had so much fun at this reunion. I really appreciate all the people that put this together for the rest of us to see each other. I found that everyone looked great but some looked very different. The most surprising for me were the guys.

20 years ago most of them were still boys and now they are men.

The ladies all looked the same. I guess we mature faster than men maybe?? Or maybe it was the lack of mullets....smile.

Before I went in.
Julie just had a beautiful baby girl 7 weeks ago. Wish I could look that good after 7 weeks!!!
I am still working it off.
Me, Susan and Jody (her twin is Julie up above this photo) No not identical.

My friend Rita.

Shawna. We went to Florida our senior year for spring break......good times!!

Glad to see her after 10 years....let's not wait so long for the next time.

Mindy, Shawna and I....Dave was almost apart of the photo.

Here is a better photo of Dave...not my husband but a friend from school.

Me, Jeni (Jenay) and Pam. Had too much fun with these girls in high school!!

Dede!!! Cutey girl!! Lookin good!!

Jodi...one of my best friends in high school.

Laura...another great friend.

Paige was the captain of my banner squad...fun times!!!

Two great guys...Troy and Rob.

Tom and his beautiful wife June....me in the middle.

Jeni and Darrin (no they are not a couple...just good friends). Too many great memories. I had so much fun seeing these two. I have not seen them in 20 years I think.

Darrin...went by Dargon all night. He is crazy!!

Tom, Sandy, me, and Jeni

Johnny, Chris and me.

First day of school.

First day of school!!! Owen and Spencer both have mixed emotions. ;) So does mom.

The bus stop. Had to have a picture of it because it might be the only time they make the bus...not much of a morning crew in our house.

Owen the big full fledged all day kindergartner!!! He looks scared but he is really excited.

August 2009

Here are a few photos of August. I will try to explain a few.
This was a pretty frog we saw at our friends house in Minnesota. Can you tell I am a mom of 2 boys......"pretty" frog....yikes. It was really pretty though.

And it brought so much joy to these kids. This is Arabella and Spencer. Cute red heads have to stick together.

Here is the Quigley/Koepp crew. What a glorious weekend we had with dear friends. I miss you Karee more than you will ever know.

Just cant get enough.

Again.......two peas in a pod.

Owen found a toad. Not so pretty........

All of the kids at the end of a fun filled day on the lake.......can you say pooped out?

Thanks Dan for all your mad driving skills on the boat.

Can you say Arabella Quigley????

Spencer and Owen have been building their own "ships" out of legos. They are really good at this. Definately future engineers.

Spencer's "professional" shot.....

Side view

We went to Ikea and they had face painting. The boys had fun.

Owen loves batman right now. Too cute!!!

Procrastination

Did I ever tell you that procrastination sometimes is my middle name? However, over the last few months I think it went beyond procrastination into something clinical. I could not seem to get myself motivated after I moved all my stuff to the basement. You see I have a small confession to make, organization and I do not really go together. I need Neicy Nash and the cleaning crew to come to my basement and show me how to organize my shtuff. I am starting to muddle through but it has been as slow as molasses. I know if I had a system, I would be able to pump out bag after bag.


I hope to have pictures and updates in the next few days of what I have accomplished. And hopefully new bags!! Yes that is right...new bags........summery ones too!! The summer bags will be limited in quantity this year because I must make my fall bags. I have too much stuff for the winter bags so I need to make them and get them ready to ship out.

The eagle has landed.

We have been diligently looking for the Wii game console for Spencer for Christmas. Dave........aka Dad of the year.........got up this morning at 6:30am to go to Target because one of the employees told him they were getting some in today. He got there at 7 and there were already 40 people in line for it. He was kind of bumming out but they started handing out tickets at 7:30 because it was crazy weather today of course. Here is a picture of my back deck and you will see why Dave is Dad of the year. Needless to say we got it.

So Christmas is saved. I already told Spencer that he probablly would not get it because I was not going to pay a premium for it. We are really excited about it. Almost everyone we know that has one is totally excited about it.

Here is a few pictures of Spencer and his chicken pox.

You cant really see it well but this first picture to the left he has one pock on each eye lid. This next one looks like I drew the big dipper on his back. And the ones on his head are huge. I put my finger in the picture for a size reference.

I have a funny story about my neice when she was little. My sister asked her if she had ever had the chicken pox, she said "No, but I've had chicken nuggets."

I know Spencer would rather have chicken nuggets too.
