MIA

I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted! Until I tried to log in to blogger and could not remember by password! Life has just been so busy the past month that blogging wasn't high on my priority list. A lot of things going on is an understatement!

Lucas has been busy with baseball. 3 games a week and so far they are undefeated...go Mariners (KBLL Mariners)~I have no idea how many games they have played. Morgan is busy with High School Basketball and football leagues right now. He goes to FB practice after school (3-5) and then basketball from 5-7. Then home for homework and feeding! With Morgan now participating in sports at the high school level, I have to make sure that everyone is on the same page with regards to his diabetes. I have been spoiled the last year! Everything was already in place from the previous year and I didn't have to really do anything! On a positive note: it looks like our wonderful district nurse, may be moving up to the high school position and we will have her full time at school!

The boys managed to get to a Superchic concert that was held in town...I stayed home for some peace and quiet!

I have been making decisions about the kitchen remodel. We finally have the cabinets ordered and work will/maybe start after July 1. Here is a sneak peek of what will be going on:

Cabinets: Shaker Natural Maple

Countertops: WilsonArt Laminate

Flooring is still up in the air. I am just not ready to make that decision yet. Flooring is so expensive when you have someone else put it in. I can put in the laminate planks and stuff, but we are not sure that is what we want in the kitchen. If we put it in the kitchen, it will probably go through the dining room and down the hallway, so we need to make a decison about that! I hate decisions!

Pat had a conference a couple of weeks ago and wanted the boys and I to tag along. Las Vegas was quite an experience and not something I ever want to do again. The weather was REALLY hot...upper 90's low 100's and to coin a phrase from a friend...."when we left, I was afraid to turn around for fear of turning into a pillar of salt". I don't see how that can be proclaimed a family vacation area?!?!?

It has been raining here, pretty much non-stop for 4 days! Maybe the sun will come out soon.

Busy Times...

Once again we are in full swing of spring sports.  Both boys in track and Lucas also playing baseball.  I find it hard to post regularly so I am going to try posting once a week, with weekly highlights.   We have had some beautiful weather and have even set up the hammocks on the deck, which seems everyone loves to enjoy.

This past week marked our Anniversary.  St. Patrick's Day and I must say, Pat hasn't missed one yet!  19 years and still going strong.  We didn't do anything 'special' except go to Lucas' spring Choral concert.

The boys also had their first track meet of the season.  Lucas was in the 4X400 relay, high jump and long jump.  Morgan did the 100M, 200M, a relay (I can't remember which) and the long jump.  They both had a great time and did well.

I am also in the process of planning out a kitchen remodel.  Actually, I have been planning it for over a year and I think that this year is the year it will get done.  It has been so hard for me to make decisions regarding cabinets that I have just sat on it, until now. 

 

We renovated our bathroom a couple of years ago and put in new cabinets there.  After weeks of trying to find a cabinet I really like for the kitchen I looked no further than the bathroom.  So now that we have decided on the kitchen cabinets, everything else is falling into place.   We have picked out flooring, counter tops for the perimeter and we are trying to decide what to put on the island/eating bar surface.  I really like the idea of wood, but Pat found some granite that he likes.  We will be doing some more research on that one.

Spring break has started for the boys and we will probably be sticking around here enjoying doing nothing, except celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord!  Have a wonderful Easter.
