Here we go.... Again!

In case you haven't heard... we will be moving yet again. The project Jeff is currently working on is with Folgers which recently got sold and is no longer a Procter and Gamble brand. Jeff not wanting to stay with Folgers and wanting to stay with P&G, has taken an offer in St. Louis, Missouri. The plant he will be at makes Cascade, Febreze, and Mr. Clean. Thankfully we don't have to be there until July so the kids will finish school here and have part of their summer spent here before we make the move. Needless to say, lots of mixed feelings right now especially for the older girls. And lots to get done around this house to get it ready to put on the market.

Snow Day...No School...Games...& Hot Chocolate

Since our week vacation in FL, the kids have had four days off of school. Two last week due to icy conditions (one day which was totally unnecessary to have cancelled for), and two days this week. Monday was a holiday and this morning we woke up to a couple of inches of snow...our first decent snowfall of the year. We've played a few games of "Go Fish", and Maggie and Jake bundled up and headed out for some fun in the snow. After coming in and taking off all their cold, wet boots & gloves, they enjoyed some warm cocoa. We are in for some possible icy weather tomorrow night, so who knows if the kids will be home again on Friday.

Fun times in Florida

We have just returned from a week's stay down in sunny, warm Florida. I must stress the "warm" part as we are having extremely bitter cold temperatures here in Kentucky. I think the high today is going to be 10 degrees with a wind chill of zero? Our trip went well and it was good to see family and friends while we were there. The first part of our trip was spent in Tampa. We spent some time with Nana Benson and family and got to eat our favorite Cuban food with her. The Florida College lectureship was going on the week we were there and Jeff's 20 year reunion was Monday night. Krysta and Natalie stayed on campus a couple of nights and enjoyed that. We headed over to Orlando on Wednesday for the remainder of the trip. We spent an evening at Downtown Disney, did some shopping, saw the Atlantis Shuttle take off, went to Cocoa Beach, and finally made it to the Magic Kingdom on Friday. We all enjoyed Disney but Jake especially liked all the characters and even rode his first roller coaster right off the bat. Mommy was more scared for him than he was. More pictures in the Disney '08 link.

Nothing New

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since the beginning of the month! But... I've got nothing! No new pictures to post and really nothing exciting to speak of that comes to mind. Krysta has made her decision to attend Florida College in the Fall so we are working on scholarships, paper work for that. Natalie has started up another session of volleyball at a local sports facility and really enjoys it. She is interested in doing a volleyball clinic this summer and getting better so she can try out for the team at school. Maggie and Jake both had a nasty stomach flu over the weekend, but are doing better and everyone went back to school today. There was no school on Monday due to the holiday and then no school yesterday (which was crazy in my opinion) due to the little bit of snow we had in the morning. The temperatures are bitter cold which makes our upcoming trip to FL in a few weeks, even more exciting. Jeff will be attending his 20 year reunion at FC and then we are heading to Orlando to see Mickey, Minnie and the gang. There will definitely be pictures to post after that trip. :)

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2008!

Quick Trip to Kansas City

After Christmas, we made a quick trip to Kansas City to see Jeff's family. We woke up to about 3 inches of snow on the first morning we were there which was fun for the kids. The big girls got to do some shopping, the little kids got to play in the snow, and the highlight of the trip for Jeff was getting to eat his favorite b-b-q at Jack Stack down on the Plaza. We also spent an afternoon with Grandma Great and she taught us how to play dominoes, which Maggie won by a long shot. It was a shorter trip than we usually make but fun was had by all. More pictures from Christmas and our trip under our "links to pictures".

Say it ain't so... Krysta is 18!!!

It doesn't seem possible but Krysta turned 18 years old today. And as always, I ask myself, where does the time go? Not that turning 18 helped with her making decisions. The toughest one tonight turned out to be where she wanted to go for dinner. With eight people... it didn't take long to end up at Buffalo Wild Wings...no 2 hour wait like other restaurants and the food came fast so it turned out fine. Her best friend, Kristi Genton joined us as did Greg. Happy Birthday Krysta!! We love you. (The Charlie Brown cookie cake was last minute...Jake picked it out.)
