Roller Skating

Last night was so much fun!! Our 4H club got to go to Roller King for Family Skate Night. It was packed! I didn't realize roller skating was still so big. Brought back lots of memories, anyone remember all those skate nights?? I am not the best skater but I still do it. " ) So we all sit on the sidelines on watch all the adults that go out there and skate and laugh our butts off when they fall right??? Yep well I was one of those adults that fell, HARD!! I actually bounced! No joke bounced. I was laughing so hard at the same time trying not to cry! I got up and got off the rink and promptly removed my skates and was in so much pain. Yep not as young as I used to be!! If you're wondering my hand is all bruised up and I think I pinched a nerve in my back or rather my butt area! Seriously I would do it again, it's a lot of fun to go out and skate with the kids! So on to my kids...Wyatt is a little speed demon, well at least in his world he is! He crouches down really low and just pumps his arms, it is so cute!! Maddy is a speed demon! She loves it!! We had a little over half our club show up, which is awesome!! Shawn even go out there and skated with Wy and Remington. The group pic of the girls is Maddy, Baylee, Georgia and Meagan. Maddy and Baylee are being speed demons and Wyatt and Kade (thanks Kade for skating with Wy!) are doing the crouch. So if you haven't been roller skating lately SUCK it up and go with your kids it's fun and they love seeing skate, even if you bounce!!

Just Stuff

Well yet again I am not very timely with my blog. A little is better then nothing right?? Well let's see what has been going on...I am back to working more at Green Tangerines, not teaching right now but working as back up for the floor and data entry for our on-line store. Very cool that we will have the on-line store, as soon as it launches I will let everyone know so you can check it out. I am extremely grateful that I was able to get more hours from them! I am still working for the Niello Company, and am very very grateful for that as well!! Shawn did get furloughed for 2 days out of the month. As much as that sucks it gives him some extra time to do stuff with the kids or around the house like build a pig pen, which he hasn't yet! I know you are asking Pig Pen?? Well Maddy is going to raise a pig for Fair this year. We are really excited! This is her first year being able to do an animal. Her swine group went to Chico Swine Day on 2/7 and it was really cool! What made it such a cool day was our cousin Ashley goes to Chico and is active in this department. She was actually working that day at the event and was able to hang around and give us some pointers and offered to help Maddy out. That totally made Maddy's day. She loves Ashley and thinks it's the coolest that her big cousin can help her with this. I think we get our little piggy, all 70 pounds of it, towards the end of March. When we get her, yep her, I will post pics.

The kids and I were able to go to High School Musical on Ice at Arco thanks to my Mother-in-law. She got us tickets through Thunder Valley Casino. It was so much fun. Two years ago we went for Maddy's birthday so we knew what it was going to be like. This one was a little different because they threw in HSM 3 Senior Year stuff into it. We loved it! Yes I am the freaky mom who loves HSM-all 3 of them!! I have a crush on Troy! " ) The night we went one of Maddy's friends were there and we got to see them, they had front row seats so we got to go down and take pics near the ice. That was cool.

On February 18th Gabby turned 12! Holy cow she is old!! I can't believe she is almost a "teenager". For her birthday Maddy had a sleep over and Nick had a sleep over with Wyatt. Wyatt was so excited to have just Nick stay, no stinking girls!! They played the Wii and jumped on the trampoline until Dad took them on a quad ride and to shoot guns. They loved it. I didn't get a picture of this but it was so cool. They were shooting at clays on the ground and Nick shot one right in the center with a .22 and didn't shatter it. So he now has a souvenir from the day.

Tomorrow night our 4H club is going to Roller King to have a family skate night. It is always so much fun!! And this weekend I will be working on the school's yearbook, so for those of you who read this and are from PG please send in pics if you have any. I can always use more since I also do a video yearbook slide show for the year. Well until next time, hopefully sooner then later " ) have a great one and be happy, life's way to short to sweat the small stuff!!!
