Bunk beds+new bedding=new boys room

Greg and I had been discussing getting bunk beds for the boys so they would have more room to play, but could not find just what we were looking for....until now! We had some friends getting rid these and they were perfect! Her dad had made them and they are very sturdy....great for boys! Thanks D&A!

Arrrrgggghhhhh!

Arrrrgggghhhh! Is there NO end to this madness! Homework, sports, and tests! I have not had a break since MLK day! Between track, soccer, band, church, and the most important, SLEEP, I have very little time for homework! thank goodness I only have 1 more week of torture before SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!! Yes! And, actually, I'am doing something! Not going to school! In all seriousness though, I am working a basketball camp and hanging out with my friends. Granny, Papa, and Aunt Jen will be here this weekend to help lay tile in our kitchen. Have a good SPRING BREAK everyone and I hope it will be a safe one!

Track Girl!

Hey! As most of you know, I am in track. But, most of you don't know that I run hurdles! yes i know, it is super dangerous, but i have only fell a few times. Although, no matter how many times i fall though, i will never surpress my mom's injury in track. :D Our first track meet didn't go as good as inticipated, well just face it we stunk! None of the 7th grade hurdlers placed and over all we got 7th at the meet:( but we will do better tuesday,hopefully, with some(a day)practice.

Long time, No Blog!

It has been a long few months. When the holidays started, we all got so busy, no one had time to blog. I have scrambled to blog the past few months in only two days, so if there is a lot misspellings, forgive me. Life is about to get even more crazy. Both Alyssa and I are starting soccer again, Grant is doing baseball, and I am starting track. On top of that, mom has taken on the new job of Preschool Director at our church, on top of taking college classes and her other two jobs.( 1. 3 year old teacher, 2. taking care of us) Please bear with me if I don't blog for a while!

A Big Scar

My goof of a brother had to get stitches last wedensday. He was playing outside and all the sudden, my mom and I heard a scream. Turned out, he had his big, heavy tractor on a board in the air and it had fallen on his head. I didn't think he needed stitches, but he did. It didn't fase him at all. In no time at all, he was goofing around and playing again.

Goin' out with a "Bang"

Well.....our last game was a few weeks ago and sadly we lost:( but the B team won. We actually only lost by a few points, and we played well. Saddly we are on to the next and last sport of this year...... track:( I am NOT looking forward to it but I am none the less doing it. I am not sure what I am going to do, but I will let yall know when I find out.

TOC '08

My sister went to Dallas before Christmas for a major soccer tournament.(the best of the best) it took up the the whole weekend and they ended up not placing but did really well. I wasn't actually there,(i was throwing my own party with my friends that weekend, instead of freezing to death but,) she did really well. We were all proud.

Happy Holidays!

This Christmas was like no other. we were so busy from 3:00 friday before break to monday, a week later. I went to a lock-in at church that night, woke up at 7:00 a.m., left, loaded the car and left for Pannhandle Tx, were mom's parents live and where both my parents grew up. We were there intill Christmas eve, when we left for Crawford for Caldwell family Christmas. We left friday, and went to Forney for Bell fam. christmas.(i don't have time to give a geneology lesson so just go with me here!) That night we stayed in Forney, and got up that morning to go to Nevada Tx for extended Caldwell fam. christmas. We finally got home late saturday night. Whew! Wheeee!!! I actually smiled good! Mom was so proud!

We also took a Caldwell family picture.(Not the whole Caldwell fam. though)It all worked out though. It looks so good!

Just in case you didn't get our Christmas card for '08, (sorry if you didn't, it was my mom's fault)

this is it. Evey one is actually smiling! Good job mom!

(Will)yay!Just what I wanted!



what's in it?we can't stand the suspence!

Thanksgiving

A long time ago, we went to Crawford to hang out with Aunt Jen and Granny and Papa. Although Uncle Mike, Aunt Audra and the boys couldn't come, we all missed them. It was not a very big event, we only ate and drove the go-cart. Sorry we didn't have any pics, but everyone was all busy. Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!

New Gadget

Mom finally got her new washer! The old one finally broke down and hit the dust. It was suposed to last longer than it did, but come to think about, Mom does at least 3 loads of laundry a day, so it is a miracle that it worked as long as it did. The new one is digital and works wonderfully, it tells how much time it will take to wash a load, and it even plays a cute little song when it is finished!

Basketball Girl

I am now playing basketball...yay! We won our first game of the season, and I am now a proud basketball team captain! Our next game is at Moses on Monday. Go Lady Patriots!

Make up your mind!

Our weather can't seem to make up its mind! one day it is cold, the next it is hot. Mom wants it to get cold, and the leaves have changed colors and look pretty. Hope it gets cold soon!

Halloween

Alyssa princess, Cole football player, Grant robot

Halloween was almost just like every other one. The little kids dressed up and went to the church fall festival and got tons of candy. I however had to march with the high school band for the football game. I did have fun but I much rather had dressed up and go get candy with my friends. Oh well! I guess I will just have to steal candy from the little kids. I also had time to semi-carve a pumpkin that looks totally cool, if I say so myself.

Cole's Birthday

On October 23, cole turned 3! Our big 3 year old had fun but didn't want to blow out the candles. :( He got a "big boy bike" and got to go out to eat. He also got two cakes:one for school and one for home. Happy Birthday Cole!

Weekend Off!

On October 12, a looong time ago, Dad and Mom got ticket to the Houston Texans football game. We stayed by the Galleria and had great seats at the game (Thanks Jimmy). They had fun, so the weekend was a sucess! Thank you Granny for watching the little kids for the weekend.

A new writter

I,Emily, am now the one who is usually publishing the blog entrys. Mom kinda let it slip through the cracks when school started and got put on the bottom of her priorite list. So, I have taken up the responsibility of trying to keep it up to date. I still haven't gotten to Halloween yet, but I am getting close.

Thanks, Em

Love, Mom
