Hopefully Fixed?

Evidently it has been difficult to view this blog in the same way I am able to see it when I create it. Consequently I went in and redid the template (it is actually still the same- Minima) and dropped the additional font I was using. Hopefully, it will help show the blog the way it was intended. The extent of my computer knowledge has now been exhausted!... Good Luck :)

WELL! it is after midnight on March 15th! It is now "officially" my birthday- and the day Cesar was murdered also (...beware of the ides of March!) I think my headache is back?!...
What am I going to give me for my birthday? decisions, decisions.... Stay tuned!

The last few minutes of 37...

Here it is the last few minutes of being 37 years old!?! I have a headache and I think it is a metaphor for how I feel about birthdays and getting older!!- The one consolation I have is... I have thought I was already 38 years old for the past little while!! They say the mind is the first thing to go!!?

Katie's Knowledge Bowl Competition

Yeah! We survived and conquered Knowledge Bowl!! It was definitely a huge hurdle especially since it started at 8:00am this morning- what is up with that? Katie actually told her Knowledge Bowl coach that we might not be there because we would have to get up so early?!! Needless to say I set Katie and her coach straight, regarding the issue. She has been working on this since December. I was not about to miss it!!
Katie did an AWESOME job! Her focus in learning information for the competition was music. She was able to answer nearly all the music questions and several others as well. She even got to be the team captain on one round! Any way- as it turned out, all 3 of the teams from the school made the top 10! We are all very proud of Katie and all her hard work!! CONGRATULATIONS!

"The Cutest Shoes Ever!"

Aren't these shoes the cutest ever!?! I found them on Zappos.com and love them! I do have one BIG problem though?!
Zappos has lots of other stinkin' cute colors and patterns, which ones do I get?? How does the saying go, "Too many shoes, so little time..."

"Death, Taxes, and School Teaching!!"

Is anyone else ready for some warm weather and sunshine?...We got our taxes done today and we owe the state of Utah a nice chunk of change!! Needless to say, the weather today matches how I feel about the whole thing- gray, dark and freezing. However, I have NO room to complain. It could be SO MUCH worse!! Teaching school this time of year wreaks havoc on one's brain, so that doesn't mean I won't complain, of course!
PEACE!

KATIE'S DOUBLE DIGIT DAY-

...Katie turned 10 on the 9th. She is excited to be into the double digits. We went and ate dinner at Grandma Mary and Grandpa Eric's house. Katie got to choose the menu and she requested Teriyaki Chicken and teriyaki noodles. I use the term "teriyaki" loosely, especially since I don't think I am spelling it correctly!? Katie also had a friend party on Feb. 21. We took 6 girls ice skating in Provo. I still HATE ice skating, by the way!

KYLIE'S DAY!

Kylie turned 15 years old on the 16th. Don't even get me started about what it does to one's "psyche" to have a 15 year old and have to get her registered for high school (rocking, rocking...). Kylie wanted to go the Hard Rock Cafe (She had been planning it for about 6 months). We decided to go up early and browse The Gateway which is always quite enjoyable, except when I end up with more lip gloss for Katie, a stuffed animal for Maddie, and a boy shirt for my lovely 15 year old daughter (more rocking, more rocking...). Much too long of a story/inside joke to explain here...any way, after shopping we went over the Hard Rock and come to find out-it closed a month ago!! How sad for us!?? We ended up at The Cheesecake Factory, which of course is yummy! To think I used to cry to my mom that I was never going to survive the terrible twos!?! I would kill for the terrible twos these days!! :)

Well, as most of you know February is a crazy month in our family being as we have 3 (out of 4) birthdays this month! On top of the birthdays, I had Parent Teacher Conferences and Kyle was busy with basketball season at the jr. high. I am happy to say we just celebrated our last February birthday yesterday and I am even happier to say that I SURVIVED FEBRUARY! I have already bowed down and kissed the calendar because March is finally here. I guess I'll do a short re-cap for y'all

Figuring It Out, Continued!

YEAH, ME! Gina and I were messing around with the blog font last night, as well as the background, but could not figure out how to change the font. Well, I was doing a little more research and HELLO... I figured it out! I have been trying to do these two things-change the background and font - since last summer, I believe?! I might be slow...but I am persistent and now I HAVE CONQUERED!!
