Thanks for the boost! And the latest with us.

I wanted to start out thanking everyone for their comments on my last post. It makes me rethink my no more blogging, thus I am doing it right now. I just was getting really bummed because I would spend all this time, and I wouldn't get too many comments, so I didn't think anyone was really even looking at it. So, thank you for the boost and I will do my best to be a better blogger, but I better get comment galore if you want me to continue. Yes, that is a threat. I have returned! I'm lame so I am moving on...

I took the kids up to Salem on President's day to hang out with my sister and go to that fun play place she told me about. Well, she didn't stay long because Cade was having a hard time, so she took him home to nap, and I was left there with 4 kids (I invited my niece to go-she's 4- and I am not mad that you left, Brynne, so don't think that is what I am saying) to keep track of by myself. It was a mad house of people, but the kids had fun and that is what mattered the most. Luckily, my sister in law showed up to hang out, or I would have had myself committed that day. I needed a nap desperately!


A few weeks ago, we got major snow. It was cool because it was the weekend of my mom's wedding, so lots of family were snowed in and had to hang out. Grandpa wanted to leave and brave the weather, but Grandma refused and of course she won. She always does. But it was nice to spend more time with them. I had to work that Sunday because I had taken my sat. off for Mom's wedding, and that turned out great because it snowed so much that day, that my clinic closed early, so I was home by 1, when I would have been home by 6. I was one happy girl. Then on Monday, of course school was canceled, which was nice. The snow cleared up and was mostly slush. Emma got a raw deal, or maybe it was mostly me, but the had late start the next two days with am Kindergarten canceled, and she then had thurs and friday off for some teacher inservice. So, she missed a whole week of school, and for basically nothing, might I add. Because the roads were clear both days that they canceled Kindergarten. We are a bunch of wienies here in Oregon.

Brynne and Emma make a snowman!
Oh, and I forgot to mention the fun we had playing in the snow. After Brynne and Emma's snowwoman collapsed, Emma and I made a big one that we poured blue and red water on that Mom had mixed up, and he was awesome. Looked like he was bleeding profusely, but he was fun. And of course we had snowball fights and Brynne and Emma kicked my rear at those, but I tackled Brynne and kicked her butt. It was hilarious. I was smashing her face in the snow. It sounds more violent than it actually was, cause we were both laughing our heads off. It was really fun!

We also just put our house back on the market again. We put it up on Feb 11, and have an offer right now. There are some stipulations we have to work through, but it is a serious buyer who lives in our neighborhood and has always noticed our house. They even wrote us a letter and included a picture of their family. They were interested when we first put it up, but now that it is cheaper, they decided to make a move. So we will see what ends up happening, but it is looking very good.
And lastly, my sister dared us to share a secret crush. Mine might not be much of a secret, but there are some of you who don't know. I think David Beckham is one hot brit. I don't know much about his personality, but the guy is a stud soccer player, and is gorgeous! What more could you ask for? So, there you go Brynne. Hope you are happy cause Adam's not! Oh, and he is even better looking right now because Adam is being a butthead.
There you have it! All the latest with me!

That was an awesome post! I loved it from making me feel guilty for leaving the playgroun :), to fun in the snow, and follow-up on the secret crush thing! He's a hottie so GOOD CHOICE! I guess I never really stopped to take a look but you better believe I've been starting at this pic of him for SOME time now! :)

And I hope your house sells for you, but for me, I'll be sad to not go to that location anymore. Your HUGE kitchen, fun girl's room, lots of big windows, awesome backyard and HUMONGO driveway! But good luck cause it will be a good thing for you guys! Will you live in the Carter house? You could always move up here with us! :)

And I totally understand about not wanting to blog because of never getting comments. I feel the same way. I know people look at it because they talk to me about it later but they dont' take the time to comment to let you really KNOW they saw it so just know that probably AT LEAST 75% of your lookers aren't commenting, but they're definitely checking it out! Speaking of never getting comments, I dont' recall getting any comments from you in a LONG time! Sucka! :)

Yay for blogging. Thanks for keeping it up. Nobody comments on my blog either, but you can put a counter on, and see how many people are looking at least! I will have 25 a day or so, and NO ONE COMMENTS! Oh well. BTW- Who doesn't think becks is HOT! :)

People always try to quit blogging, but they always come back!!

That was quite the post, you guys have had a lot going on! I can't believe you got that much snow, that is so crazy! Looks like fun though!

I think your house is so cute...good luck with the buyers!

I am TOTALLY with you Kreth on the David Beck thing. Holy crap he is gorgeous!! Joe knows already that he's got some competition, so it's no secret. I also secretly (actually, Joe knows about this on, too) have a "crush" on his wife--she's a total babe, too! ;) I think they make a great couple! Anyhoo, I'll be in Oregon tomorrow (Saturday), so I'll give you a call. Talk to you then.

Kretha-
Email me at amberhaider105@yahoo.com so I can get you my number. I can't seem to find your email address. We came to Corvallis today for kicks. We played at a little park not too far from the University. Wish I knew where you lived or had your number. Now I know how close you are!

Kretha!!!!! You posted quite a while back that you weren't going to be blogging anymore so I stopped checking here. Then I notice on sitemeter that someone came from your blog to mine today (probably you) so I come here and discover that you're a big liar-pants and you have too been blogging and you didn't tell me!!! This is why you need to call me back. I'm glad you're blogging. I'm going to put you back in my bookmarks. Love you!
