Yo-Yo boy is Home

1st quarter of school FINISHED

October 31st was the end of first quarter. Both boys are doing very well. Ethan has a 90% over-all and Tucker has a 96%. I am proud of both of them. As rocky as the year started off I am glad we enrolled in Connections. It is a lot of work, but I think they are learning a lot and it is nice having a teacher they can call. Especially Tucker!!! We can butt heads when he doesn't want to listen or gets frustrated. Last week when he wouldn't listen I said "Call Mrs. Christenson." He called her and she walked him through the problem and the fight was over. Tucker likes having a teacher. Ethan still would just rather ask Mom! Thankfully I can still figure out the answers. Most of the time!!!

Just some pics

Conner and Tucker were making silly faces. I kept trying to get a picture, but he would move before the camera was finished. He loves to look at the pictures of himself after I take them.

Not too much going on. We went to mom's on Friday and it was raining. Ellie was ABSOLUTELY muddy so Saturday morning she got a bath. I like to take pictures when she is clean. It is rare that she is clean. She loves to play outside and get dirty.

Day 3 on Core

Today is my third day back on Core. I am doing quite well. I have stayed on track so far. Rusty and I even got a walk in last night. It's kind of fun to walk in the dark. I am down almost 2 pounds. YEAH!!!!

Science and Yo-Yo's

Here is Ethan's Yo-Yo collection. He is insistent that it be blogged for all to see. He has two more on the way.

Tucker's last science experiment. Growing beans in polluted and non-polluted soil. The beans in the polluted soil did not sprout. This is the non-polluted beans after 10 days.

My Boys!!!

Growth spurt!!!

Well Ethan is officially taller than me. Not that I am tall, but ... Last month I was still taller, but he has grown an inch in a month and passed me up. He is quite PROUD!!!!

Weight Watchers Again!

Well I am officially FAT again. I am so tired of being fat so I am going back to the Core Weight Watchers program again. I felt so much better last time and I liked the food so why I quit is beyond me. I did good today!! Yeah, one day down. Now if I could just muster up enough energy to exercises.

Log bedroom

Our new log bed and nightstand. We will get the rest of the furniture on Friday. I love it!!! My sisters and mom think I am nuts for getting rid of the shabby chic look, but I love log furniture. I have wanted to do this forever and Rusty and I decided it was time to finally purchase bedroom furniture. We have always had hand-me down furniture in our room. It was so fun to pick just what I wanted. I still need to get some pictures and lights, but I am waiting for the right stuff to catch my eye.
