My boy WON!!

So, I pick up Colby on Wednesday and his teacher brings him to the car. I am sitting there thinking (oh boy, it must have been a bad day at school), but when she is helping him into the car she tells me that Colby has some exciting news. I immediately start looking at his mouth thinking that he lost a tooth. They were both extremely excited so, Colby and his teacher are going back and fourth,"you tell her, no you tell her." Finally his teacher says "today we had our drawing for perfect attendance for 1st semester and Colby won a bike!" I was shocked! My son's name was picked out of 500+ students and he is the winner! I am so happy for him! He is just as happy as can be and can not wait to get his new bike! Yesterday was Colby's half birthday. He is now 6 1/2 years old! I just have a hard time believing that he is not my little baby boy anymore. He really is growing up.

Here is the LO I made:

Learning new things

I have just discovered styles in photoshop. I know, everyone has been using them FOREVER, but I just learned how to do it!! Pretty cool!

Now on the home front! I am the head room Mother for my son's kindergarten class. Now that has been very rewarding! The kids are great and I love his teacher! She is so nice and the kids just adore her. We are planning the 100th day of School party. Tentatively scheduled for February 5th. You never know what could go wrong and the weather could go bad quick here. So if there are no more snow days it will be February 5th. We are going to have all sorts of fun and games for that day. With this being the Kindergarten class this is their first 100 days of school EVER! So we are going to have a blast celebrating!!

Oh, where do I start??

I haven't kept up with this blog once again. Here is just a quick update on my life as I live it day to day. I am hopeful that 2008 will bring change and happiness to my family.
2007 was a very tough year. One that I would not like to repeat, EVER!! I lost a Nephew the last day of August, he was only 20 years old. My husband and I have had some troubles, but we seem to be back on track now. My Mother has a been a handful. I love that woman dearly, but she needs to stay on her meds. My Grandmother's health is rapidly failing, at the age of 92, I am afraid that her heart is not going to make it much longer. There were times this year that I just didn't know how much more I could take. It just seemed to be one thing after another.
On a much more positive note. The kids are healthy and happy as ever. Jenna just amazes me everyday with all she is learning. She is a VERY active 3 year old. Colby continues to do well in Kindergarten.
That is about all for now.
