Little Helper

Amanda had a little helper when she did the laundry today.....

Hope this was the "dirty" basket ......

6 Days and Counting...

Amanda and some of her basketball teammates.

We haven't had a snow storm in 6 days...what's going on here? The temperature has been way too cold, but at least no shoveling in it.

Next snow storm due to arrive on Tuesday....

Jake has been sick so I haven't even gotten a photo of him with the new pup. He started running a fever last night and went to work today sick. I want him to stay home tomorrow, but he said that his managers didn't believe he was sick. (mind you, he was burning up when he came home) I want so badly to call and let them know that my son is sick, but having your Mommy call your boss at age 18 is like the ultimate no-no.

I wish he was little so that I could take care of him---but, I can only make "suggestions", and buy Tylenol.

Amanda has been running with her friends .... a sleepover at Kendall's last night, Jocelyn's birthday, and Student Senate stuff. Basketball and more friends tonight.

Cocoa has been a good girl. She has gone potty outside quite a few times and seems to be adjusting to her new home and family.

Everyone's busy....

Tonight's Eclipse

My attempt at photographing tonight's eclipse........

Meet Cocoa

New Arrival.....

My friend Susan's dogs had a litter of puppies.........you can see where this is headed.

Let me introduce you to Cocoa - the newest member of our family.

Score !

Amanda and Kendall are back at the scoring table again......

This was taken tonight. They scored 3 games.
I was taking some team photos tonight before each game. A little extra cash :)

Ice Storm 2008

So much for my whinning about the endless snow....... bring on the ICE !

Sunday we had an ice storm. Sleet, Rain, Ice and a bit of snow just for fun.

Jake went out and dumped salt everywhere and also tried to shovel the front walk.


What a mess....
Every road was solid ice...
Amanda opted for the warm indoors and laundry duty.

No pictures, please!

My Mom, Dad and Teddy were stuck up in Green Bay for a couple of days. They had much more snow than we did. The worst driving conditions in 25 years up there. They did manage to get to and from their bowling tournament safely.
