Prayer Request For Norris Schools

I just had a prayer request for all of my classmates and other children on the bus yesterday. As many of you may have seen on the news or on the internet there was a bus that was in an accident yesterday. A lot of the childeren on the bus were injured but luckily not seriously injured. Most of the older childeren were on the bus were back in school today but alot were still in alot of pain weather it was emotionally or phisically. I knew some of the childeren on the bus but their doing just fine but they are just in shock that something like this would ever happen. Most of the childeren that were not in school today will be by the end of the week. I just want to ask you if you could please pray for them in this time of need. Thank you for all the prayers. God bless!

Happy Third Birthday Marcus Lee!

My Baby boy is 3 years old today! Man time has flown by, seems like just yesterday he was born! I remember it like yesterday anyway!

He is getting so big, pretty easy to potty train, he is talking our ears off, all boy; loves the mud, dirt, trucks and tractors. He has energy to burn. Sometimes I think he is the Energizer Bunny! He keeps on going and going.

Had his Thomas party yesterday here at the house, my seems really small when the family is all here. Kind of like sardines. :) It was a fun time and glad we did it. Thanks to everyone for coming you made the special. Thanks to all who traveled long distances just to be here. It meant a lot to me and to him too.

School is going good for the first 2 days anyway, this week will be our first full week so this will be the test.

Have a great day everyone, I am relaxing today. I am really tired after this week and weekend.

Sprague Fun Days!

It was a hot one this weekend, but Fun Days went on as usual. We went down Friday night to watch a little bit of Softball. In the short time we were there, I think Marcus found every bit of sand and dirt to get in his hair. I kid you not, I had to wash his hair twice, the first time the shampoo was brown, gross. Sunday we went down to watch the championship game. It started pouring, luckily after the game was over. As the storm passed, Marcus decided it would be fun walk in every mud puddle he could find. It was fun to watch, because after a while you just say, oh well, go for it. He was so dirty it was crazy. He loved walking through and playing with the other kids, forget Mud Volleyball, the little kids had Mud Volleyball of their own. Thanks Rhiannon for the pictures. I agree with her, Preschool Mud Volleyball, minus the ball! Wish I would have taken a picture of his backside, it was caked!

Tonight is open house at school, Michaela will be a 7th grader, yikes. I am not ready for that. We will go out and get her schedule and put a few things in her locker before we start on Thursday. I do not have to go until tomorrow for a couple of hours and then Wednesday for a couple of hours. It will be nice, going to spend Wednesday morning at the movies with Rob and the boys and Joelle, for the last Kids Rule Movie of the summer. Can't beat $3.00 movie with popcorn included. Love it.

I do have a prayer request, my supervisor Jen, her daughter Abby is 2 and has been in Children's since last Wednesday. They can not figure out why she is running high fevers and has a rash. She is not eating or drinking, we pray of wisdom for the doctors, to find out what this is, for Jen and Ben as they watch their young child be poked and poked some more. We pray for Abby that she starts to feel better soon and for courage to let the doctors and nurses do what they need to do, even though it hurts. Hard for someone so little.

Thanks again and love to all!

Work already!!!

I am off tomorrow for some training at school. I can not believe in 7 days we have to report. I am ready to go, I am ready for a routine again, although I will miss being at home with Marcus. He gets to go see Deanna on Thursday, while I finish my training, as Steve has to work.

Today, was going to be a day of fun, but turned into a day of hurry up and wait. We had the sewer drains cleaned out as our washing machine kept bubbling up on the floor in the basement. It was a long process and then we had to clean it up. Yuck, but we did rearrage my laundry room a little it looks a little bigger.

Off to town for some supper, Yeah, no cooking! Got to love family nights out right.

Of course the temp as to go up, school is starting soon. And this weekend is Fun Days at the old school house in Sprague, it is always Africa Hot on Fun Days weekend.

Where has the Summer Gone!

It seems like the summer just started and now it is time to go back to school. August 13 is just around the corner. I will start on the 10Th, YIKES! I want some more time!



Kristal got married on June 27, 2009.

Michaela was a candle lighter. I found this little Tux at Once Upon A Child for $12.00 and could not resist. So he dressed up too. We got their pictures taken on July 8, can you tell my children are hams?



Marcus will be three on August 16, where has
the time gone. It seems like yesterday, when I was thinking about how I was going to make it for the first week of school, before I had him. Funny thing though he thought one night of open house was enough and decided forget it I am coming early. He has grown up so much. He loves Thomas the Train. Which is what his party will be. We went to Fremont this weekend for A Day Out with Thomas. As soon as I get the pictures down loaded I will post them.

Michaela is 12 and a half now and man, is so
much turning into a teen and young lady. Her style has changed and man is it scary. Her dress for Kristal's wedding made her look so grown up. My little girl is not a little girl anymore. How I miss those days when she let me pick out her clothes and do her hair. Now I don't dare buy anything for her without her there.


I love that she is so grown up, I like that I can count on her to watch Marcus when I have a meeting or some place I need to go. But as I found out last night, not quite ready totally. Storms are still not her thing. Bless her heart, she was being so brave until I called to make sure Daddy was home and he had not even called yet, she started crying. So I quickly tried, Grandpa, not home, Aunt Darlene, no answer, so Grandma Pat came to the rescue. Of course as soon as Grandma got here, Steve called and got off work. Some day, maybe the storm thing will be behind us, not sure when, but some day.

That's all for now, will try and get Thomas pictures on soon and some Vacation pics. too.

Love to all,

Early Birthday Presents for Marcus!

Ok so our wonderful friends from California sent us tickets as an early birthday present for Marcus to see Thomas Live in Lincoln. We are so grateful to them for doing this for us. It was a great morning of a very busy weekend. Steve took the day off work so we could all go. Marcus loved it.

I think Michaela had more fun getting him excited and going with. She is a good big sister and tries so hard to please him. She wanted him to experience everything. We had to laugh at him though, he could not decide what to look at first.

Every time a new character would come out, Marcus was naming them all. Only he really wanted to see Annie and Clarabelle, but they were not part of the show. For some reason besides Thomas they have become his favorites right now. He couldn't decide if he should watch the stage or the lights all around him. He was just in awe of everything

After the show we got him a spinning light and a new Thomas hat. He was so excited. Wish there were more picture ops.

Our little man was exhausted afterwards, he fell asleep on the way to take Michaela to meet some friends at the mall, oops, put the wrong picture in here, he was holding his light in one hand and trains in the other and sleeping. Way too cute.

Thank you again Trevor, Jennifer and Grant for the best Birthday Present ever.

Love to all
