end of school - yah!!!

Well, School has ended for us and the girls are having some bitter sweet feelings, i think. They are excited to move, but sad to say goodbye to friends.
Analise had a great year in third grade.  To finish it off they had a pizza party in her class and then invited a friend over and we went to the opening day at the pool.

Sage has officially graduated from elementary school.  5th grade is the last grade in elementary here as well as in her new school.  They had a little celebration and then they had a pool/pizza party for all the 5th grades in her school.  She had a great time.  She is excited to go to Jr. High so she can pick some of her classes. 

I must brag a little about my kids.  They are both really smart.  They both read like crazy.  Analise has the most A/R points in her class and Sage was tested for the GT program and was accepted.  Both got straight A's on their report cards.  Way to Go!!!

Baby Doll

I have been trying to be better at posting on my blog, so, a month later, I am posting.
Anyway, I got my creative juices going and borrowed a pattern from my mom for this little doll. The pattern is bit bigger, but i used my handy copy machine and shrank it a little because it was for a smaller friend of ours. We made some pjs for the dolly and its little mommy.  I was a bit apprehensive because I have not made a doll before, but it turned out really cute.  Now I have to make one for my girls now and maybe a couple of neighbor friends :).   (sorry, i cant figure out how to make the pictures bigger without them going grainy)

ok, fine

I know my blog has been lacking for the last few months, (ok, maybe more than a few) but I have just not been in the mood- I am "the blog rebel."
Anyway, I figure it is time for me to get back going.
so, we will start off with our big news, no I am not pregnant!! My husband is seperating from the AirForce and is returning to school, BSU, to get an accounting degree. We are planning on a move for this summer. Hopefully it will only take him a year to complete his additional education (he already has a bachelors and a masters in computer information - he's too smart) and then find a job, hopefully, in the west somewhere. We are all excited for the move and to be by cousins again. Hope we don't drive everyone crazy (since we are the weird ones in the family :) hehe) We have already sold our house in texas and we close in June, so I am busy starting to pack things up. Texas was an experience to say the least. The president needs to go and try to shop in El Paso, then he would be more motivated to help protect our borders. Ok, that is a whole other subject that I am not even going to think about right now. But we have learned a lot and met some great people that hopefully we will keep in touch with. Chris is excited to be able to go to BSU games again. I just want to go to the BSU-Hawaii game, if it is in Hawaii :). Idaho, here we come.
