Me and my sister...

I was scrapbooking yesterday, making a scrapbook for my mom's birthday which is on Friday, and was becoming kind of nostalgic thinking about my sister, Amy who lives in Gardiner,ME. I sent her an email telling her that I missed her and wished she lived closer. I found this picture of us this morning taken July 1981....boy, that was a long time ago! (I guess these were the 'swimming pools' of long ago!! ) I was 6, just in case you're wondering! Life sure flies by...take the time to let the ones you love, know that you love them! P.S. If you visit the blog, say hi so I know you were here...thanks!

...Stephen is just going over the video and says the score was 44-27. Here's another picture of Jakey getting his medal.

THE CHAMPS!!!

I am a proud mother ...(we are proud parents!)! Jakey's team won the championship today by about 20 points. It was an awesome game and the kids were all so thrilled..as well as the parents. Jakey got an awesome basket from the corner...as well as getting rough a couple of times and getting 2 fouls!! The boys got championship t-shirts and medals for their hard work. Yeah, yellow team!!

It takes alot to impress me...but....

this impresses me! My husband is always coming home with, or taking me to a store to show me some new, impressive invention. I must say, I'm not usually as excited as he is. Saying this, my new front load washer impresses me. I've been ranting about it since I got it a couple of weeks ago. The clothes in the dryer are actually dry before the next load is done washing..and the washer is so quiet, the dryer is louder than the washer! I can fit about 5 load sizes from my old washer into 3 smaller loads in the new washer. A total time saver for me, and a space saver because I can stack them...they are a bit more money, but I would recommend them to anyone!! ( You can tell that nothing exciting happens in my life when I have to blog about my washer and dryer!!)

They won!!!!

The team definitely kept us on our toes last night...there was a 1-5 point difference, either way, for the whole game. We were very concerned that they weren't going to pull it off. BUT THEY DID....we were all so excited, they won by 3 points. So, this means that they will have their championship game on Saturday at 1:30. This will determine the year's winner! I'm just thrilled that they made it this far!

My verse for the week...

After asking the Lord to help me find something in his Word this morning to help me, I found this verse this morning in I Samuel 30:6b and it really helped. David has just come home to find his city burnt, his possessions gone, and his wives and family taken captive. His reaction is this verse...But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.

BASKETBALL FEVER!!

Jacob has been playing on the Mini Boys Kiwanis basketball team since October. They're the number 1 team in the league. Tonight is the semi-final game-if they win, they'll be in the championship game on Saturday. If they lose, this will be it for this year. I must say that it has been very enjoyable watching the games-Jake has really improved. He's very nervous about the game tonight-anyways, will let you know how they do!

Little princess sleepover...

Well, the princess is off to a sleepover at Pastor and Mrs. Fosmark's. Faith Arsenault is also there with her. They are 'best friends'! I just talked to Mrs. Fosmark-she said that they were off to bed, but Abby wasn't that interested in going to sleep and was on the verge of being homesick. I'm attaching a picture of her sleeping...she's so good once she goes to sleep!!

Hopefully, the Fosmarks get to see this side of her tonight!!

RCMP-Here she comes!!

Ashley is fascinated with the mounties-I don't really know why!?! Our friends, Laurie and Jennifer Shand were over to visit on New Year's Eve. Laurie is a former RCMP officer, so he brought his uniform for Ashley to try on-she was thrilled, as you can see!

My first blog...

February 15,2007

Everyone else is doing it, so I thought I would as well. Sara Fosmark changed hers to a 'by invitation only' blog to protect your kids against unwanted visitors. I thought this was probably a good idea as well. I'm going to work on it a bit before I get any pictures going. Hope you enjoy!
