Latest Movie...

We loved watching the movie "The Game Plan"! It is so great!!! The Rock does an awesome job!
The little girl who stars in the movie is already well on her way to a career in acting! She is extremely talented.

What's new?

Marc:
We are all rollerblading now, even Marc! This is his newest hobby! :) Joy and I still enjoy ice skating more, but we go with Marc and Ben for family time.

Joy:
Joy received the PHD award for her team this month!!!! Pride, Hustle and Desire! She was so tickled and so were we! She is doing great with hockey and looks like she wants to continue!

There is the possibility that Joy may get to participate in 2 tournaments in March, we are waiting to see if it happens still.

Almost got away with out mentioning it... Joy is a closet "girl" now and is in "love" with a boy in her class named Jonathan... She has taken to writting Joy + Jonathan on paper around the house! Even brought home a coloring sheet from daycare that has a boy and a girl in a dress that she wrote Joy + Jonathan on and colored it in! She is VERY mature for 8! She will dress like a girl when no one else can see it! She got her ears pierced and wants to wear makeup sometimes.
Ben:
Ben is about to turn 7!!! We are getting ready for his birthday party and upcoming baseball season. He is doing awesome at rollerblading and enjoys it!

He has come such a long way in such a short time! He's extremely smart! Aces his spelling tests no problem in school!

Crystal:
Where to begin... I still love my new job! Imagine, working 7-3:30 M-F 20 minutes from home and all of us have kids, so they understand if I have to leave early or if I am out! One of the ladies I work with is another "hockey mom" and is really nice! The other two I really like also!. Work may be moving even closer to home! :D It would cut off almost 10 more minutes!

In the last month I have lost 10 pounds! :D

Latest ramblings of happenings! LOL


This is Joy and the rock wall... Ben asked me to buy him a tractor at Sears last time we were there. LOL

Let's see, I got the LG Cherry Chocolate phone... LOVE IT! :D

So this past Saturday morning at 7:30am... when I was so comfortably sleeping in... I hear all of a sudden... MOM! TUESDAY THE 4TH OF OCTOBER RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER COMES OUT! Can you say, WHO CARES, when you are trying to sleep in for once? LOL! Poor kids!

JOY:
Joy's birthday is in a couple of weeks. She gets to have it at the ice rink. She can't wait for hockey to start! In the next week or so we will see practices start up.

Joy has kept her room clean for 2 weeks now! WOW!

When we went to the Evergreen state fair Joy got to climb the climbing wall... She scaled it in about a minute! She had a hard time starting down at first, but did a great job!

She is doing much better in reading now and has found a new interest... Dragons! I am really proud of her!
BEN:
Who remembers the old Wonder Woman series with Linda Carter???
I introduced the kids to the show thanks to Netflix today... ROFLMAO!!!!
Ben's first comment after watching where she first shows up as Wonder Woman, top of his voice mind you.... "MOM!!! I HAVE A CRUSH ON WONDER WOMAN!" I remember watching it as a little kid, never thinking how women's lib and sexist this show was!

Ben has kept his room CLEAN for a month now! His reward you ask??? Rodney! Rodney is a rat, named after Rodney from Flushed Away! Ben drew this adorable picture of Rodney in his cage and even drew the bars on the cage. Then proceeded to draw little poops, brown of course! He said, "My brain told me poop is brown, so I colored it brown!"

I had to ask his first grade teacher for a list of spelling words to occupy him while Joy does her third grade spelling words... catch this... he tells her when she spells her words wrong! Even worse, he tries to do her math for her! I don't think the teachers really believe me about him, that kid is something else! He reads ahead of most 1st graders and already puts inflection in his voice when he reads.
I'm going to see if I can sneak off to bed! Night! :D

What is up this week...

Ok, so I have given in and am getting the new LG Black Cherry Chocolate phone! Jesica let me see her's one to many times and I gave in ;P

Monday: I have a job interview. If my boss sees the blog I'm in deep kimchee!
Tuesday: I will hopefully hear back from the interview last week.
Wednesday: Not a lot going on yet, hopefully will stay that way!
Thursday: Ben has speech therapy and Joy has her reading class. I think that this class has been extremely good for her. I know it has made me make her read!
Friday: pizza and movie night!
Saturday: clean the house!

We have to start looking into refinancing the house again! Ugh! What a pain!

If you have asked how it's been lately, hope these posts help to update you! :)

Harlicoon, ain't he a doozie?



Can you say, Harlicoon? Here is a picture of my baby!!!! He is HUGE now. I have to get him shaved again and then post a picture of that too! We think I am alergic to him now bacause I keep getting itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, etc. but if he is shaved I don't have as much of a problem. :) Love my kitty!!! Marc says he knows there is no way I am giving up the cat! LOL

Ok, so I finally got back to the blog... Not much been going on unless you count the trip to Kansas City, MO for work. Oh did I mention the delay at the airport, 8 hours, or the lost luggage? 4 days = a very LONG trip! Good news is I got to see some of my favorite state reps!


This past weekend was the RinkRats play day again. The kids loved it! Got lots of pics! Christian got to go out and play with Joy and they both had lots of fun!
