Catching up....

Every day I check my buddy Neil Browns blog to see if he has written any more! Its almost like an obsession you see. His writing interest me and he adds just enough humor to make what could be a really depression subject, interesting and not depressing at all! I was thrilled when yesterday he posted not just one but two blogs. After I read his blog I was browsing through the rest of his site because he just doesn't have a page, he has a whole freakin site dedicated to his writing, and saw my name! Yep, there it was Jenny Jones Blog. Which reminded me that I very well may have been neglecting my own blog. Oops!

So here I am, catching up! My life isn't all that intersting and I don't have any major pitfalls to over come. Its life. My life. Work, family, working out, read sleep! So here it goes! All in a nutshell! :)

This month has been awesome! We have had some really great weekends. The weather was beautiful and we took full advantage of the first two weekends in March by spending it at the lake. I will refer to the Lake many times and what I mean by that is my Grandparents house on Lake Barkley.

The first weekend we went down was with the whole family. All of our kids including Troy, Lindsay and Chloe. Then of course Nanny and Papa too! We packed so much fun into one day that we were all so wore out. It was a great weekend with very little fighting. (still some, we can't expect miracles).
We did some much needed yard work in the morning hours. Aaron and Jimmy took turns driving the riding lawn mower up and down the hill to unload sticks and leaves. Aaron succeeded in dumping CHloe and Jimmy off the wagon and the tail gate hit JImmy right in the head! He had a nasty cut which everyone insisted didnt need stitches so i went with the majority vote even though i still think it could have used a few! Then we ate our favorite lunch. Porkys! An older man smokes his pork in a parking lot and we love it! Its a real treat for us! Then.....We rode the 4 wheelers, played foot ball, shot Bob and Troys guns! Just sat around and gabbed! It was a really really wonderful weekend! We watched movies and played poker all night Saturday. Papa kicked all of our butts! But we didnt expect any less. Lindsay and Papa both have a real big competitive streak which def made the night interesting. I kept stealing Bobs chips. Figures as his wife I was due them! :)
The next weekend we went down with Amy and Hayjo and Nanny and Papa. We went into town on Saturday morning with complete intentions on going to the civil war reenactement they had going on but all of our allergies were killing us! So we ate some Porkys (of course), went to FREDS, (gotta love freds), and then went back to the house and lounged all day! Watched a couple of really good movies that night after my grandma cooked us a great dinner and then went to the reenactment on Sunday before heading home. It was a much more relaxing weekend than the one before but no less fun!
This last weekend however we stayed home. It was dreary, cold, and not very motivating. See we've been working out with our kids for the last few months to get into shape for summer and one of the things we've been doing is boxing. So this weekend we decided to put our new skills to the test and we set up a boxing area in our makeshift gym and put on the gloves! It was so much fun and painful at the same time! I'll put the links to the video on here if you're interested!
