Newest addition to the House

This pic....even though you can't see it the best, is the newest addition my house! Click on the pic to see bigger. (Suprise mom!....your copies are here for you when you return!!!) It is beautiful and just needs a frame. We got it done here in town...they do a super job. Nothing new this week...except ANOTHER snow day! :( OLD MAN WINTER......GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only hope we go tomorrow. We will now be busy with make-up games again. And we aren't even to February! The boys are good. Enjoy the time to stay home on snow days...they got a used xbox from their babysitters son, so that seems to consume them now. We got naps and are happy bout that, so we will have some extra energy for the week ahead. Kelly got stuck in the storm at Newell, which is good he stopped there as it just got worse. He will spend the night there and take off in the morning after they clear the roads. So, that's the Salazar update this week. Pretty boring, but that's not all bad either!! Have a good one!

Snow days, Snow days, Snow days...

Ok, everyone sick of the weather keep reading!

This is ridiculous! Rock Valley is now up to

5 days. We will be taking Presidents day, our Thursday before Easter and Monday

after Easter, and 2 days this goofy season!

We will get out now May 24. Still early, but tired of pushing the date back! Nothing new here. We have been running 4 out of 5 days a week to basketball games and wrestling meets. Needless to say we are ready for that to simmer down! The boys love it...and the concession stand treats!!!! I have spent a life's savings there already this year, and am tired of it!! HAHAHAHA. Eric got his report card and did just super...such a proud mom I am!! He also got his diagnostic reading test back and scored at a 4.5 level, which means he reads the same as a student in the 4th grade!!! He LOVES reading and now has homework assignments with his accelerated reading program he is in. Good experience for him. Alic has been a little naughty at daycare lately with another little guy! They like to wrestle and try and push Tammy's buttons. He has had a few time outs from what I understand. I tease him that Eric never got in trouble at day care....of course, Eric was the only one there!!! He'll learn, I am sure of that. His new thing lately is to wrestle with his little friend, and he has come home with some nice scratches on his face from their 'playing.' HAHA. I survived last weeks ITBS/ITED tests, and am just trying to have at least one normal week of school again. There still is never a boring day at work, and I still am loving it every day. Stay dry, safe and warm!!!

Pics of the new pad...finally!

Well, I'm finally getting around to posting some pics

of my new place. The very first pics you saw were with

the previous owners decorating....not so pretty now. LOL

It is definitely a work in progress, and I got a ways to go, but have YEARS to do that too. Needless to say, we are LOVING it!!!!!!!!! It is unbelieveable how at home we

all feel, and love every inch we have. The boys are healthy

and happy, and I'm so grateful to have a new washer and dryer

and love it too! Kelly has done a superb job getting the garage

to his likings...hmmmm HIS GARAGE it looks like! :) The rest of the pics are of my table, kitchen, and our

bedrooms. I hope to see some of you for a visit soon!!!!

What a craaaazzzy Christmas!!

Just when you think you are going to get some time to relax, the weather goes and interjects!!!! I cannot believe the amount of snow around here...haven't seen it this bad this early since I was a little girl...oh well, we all survived, and once again are shown it is not in our control. It all worked out, and have now celebrated our 3 christmases, enjoyed time with all the family, especially seeing my sis-in-law again, who made it home in the storm from Alaska with her kids and husband. Jack and Pres came on the Monday after xmas, so its just been crazy around here, besides moving into my new house on the 19th too!!! I NEED ANOTHER VACATION! :) The boys were plenty spoiled by all, and had a great time. I can't complain myself, as got GREAT time with Kelly as he worked ahead to spend more time with me, the boys, and helping set up the house. We are settled in, I'm doing my own laundry again, and loving the new kitchen table Myrna and Allen brought back when they picked up the boys. Life is good here people, that is for sure. We head back to reality the 4th, which is fine...too much time off and one gets lazy. I'm looking forward to seeing the kids again, getting back into a routine, and hopefully start working out regularly!!! (HA) We hope you all had as great as a holiday season as we did, and have an AWESOME 2010!!! Much love and kisses to you all!
