Aly and Britt tested for their recommended black belts tonight, and hubby tested for his first belt (orange). For the girls next testing they have to get over 300 Fit points, and they had way over 300 tonight. (it's a combo of kicks, punches, sits ups, push ups). The girls had to spar two people at once and they did really good. Britt went against ( Read more... )

Hubby had to work Saturday morning because there was a 5K scheduled in the park. Work called him around 5am to say they had found a traveling meth lab at one of the local hotels. Some trucker dude makes meth in his truck and shoots up while he's driving all over the country, because THAT is safe! So he went in early, then went to the run when they ( Read more... )

Hubby had to work late last night. He was supposed to get home around 9pm. He called at 9 to say he would be late because he had to go to a call. Some lady was driving down the road when her car started to smoke. She pulled over and it caught on fire. A police officer just happened to be on the other side of the road so he ran over to help and ( Read more... )

Been a busy busy grumpy last few months, lol. Tonight we'll focus mostly on some good stuff!

Alamanda finally got all of her work turned in. She has all A's and B's now, YAY! Brittany brought her progress report home and she has all A's except for one B. The B is an 88 so she can easily pull it up to an A if she does well on the next few tests! Our ( Read more... )

It feels so nice outside. I'm wondering if we're actually going to get a fall this year, usually it only lasts 2 or 3 days. It's in the low 90s, and it's really funny to think of that as being 'cool', but it is compared to what it has been! When the babies wake up I'd like to go to the park or something, but we'll see ( Read more... )

Last night I took Brittany to the school to try out the different instruments in band and orchestra. We did orchestra first because not as many people were trying them, so the lines were shorter. She tried the viola first and really liked it, then the violin, bass, and cello. Then we tried the flute, which she didn't like at all. We tried the ( Read more... )

Hubby arranged a night away for us for Valentine's. Since we never do anything ON holidays (and it's always more expensive, and the weather was crap then), we went yesterday! We had to be at the kids karate tournament at 9:30 to sign in, the tournament was already running about an hour late. Our kids finally got to go to their circle about 11:20, ( Read more... )

Hubby was VERY proud of himself because he thought AHEAD this year and got me a present and planned everything out on his own. Usually he is a last minute shopper for everything and then blames that for why he couldn't do what he wanted. He worked out a babysitter so that we could go out to dinner last night. My sister was going to watch all the ( Read more... )

Weds MIL and I flew up together, joy. The pilot did a HORRIBLE job of landing and almost made me puke, eeww! Hubby was there when we arrived, but then he did the dumb thing of walking away and not taking my luggage. Uhh, you are the BOY, carry the bags! lol, dumbass. Anyway we went straight to the hotel and got checked in. We stayed in our rooms ( Read more... )

We're home! Interesting ride home. Left graduation around noon. Drove an hour NORTH then stopped for lunch for an hour. Dropped MIL off at her hotel and Janet off at the Metro station. Drove an hour SOUTH to get back to where graduation was. Started (?) our trip home, 3 hours behind schedule because of all that :p 10hour drive ahead of us, yeehaw. ( Read more... )
