Missed One

I thought I made a post last weekend. Apparently I didn't save it or something. Not too much new going on right now.
Erika is going skiing with school on Monday. She is really excited. I know I would feel better if her dad or Roger was with her... Maybe Roger and I can work something out :)
Roger has been working a lot as a repo man for the banks and bankruptcy attorneys. Not so much fun for him. I come home from my job talking about all of the interesting businesses I have been to and the interesting people I am meeting and it makes him miss what he loves most about his job!
My dad's birthday is this weekend. My mom is having a surprise 65th birthday party and retirement from the sheep party. He doesn't have a clue! It is so funny! They have been redoing the bathrooms and she has been cleaning, rearranging and tidying like crazy and he is clueless! I can't wait to see how it turns out! He is supposed to help my brother do some tile work at his house today so Erika and I can run out this afternoon to help her finish getting ready.
My brother Victor will be coming down with his family. It is the twins birthday this weekend as well! They are getting so big! It seems like they are still so (hmmm... stuck on spelling) susceptible??? to colds and ear infections and the like. That is what happens when you have a rough start I guess. 4 years old! Amazing!
My brother Scot and his family are finally finishing their addition to the house. When they added the extra space it was designed for a new kitchen. For the last few years it has just been... space at the end of the family room. They have started putting the tile floor down and will have new cabinets in a couple of weeks! How exciting! My little niece Amanda will be turning sweet 16 next month! Erika will be right behind her as fast as time flies!
We got to spend a little time with Kris's kids before work yesterday. I so enjoyed being able to watch them a little bit in the fall. They are changing and growing so fast. Kaden is starting to lose that toddler sound in his voice and Miss Brooklyn is getting to be so much of a conversationalist! No. No. No. Ha ha ha. Jackson is such a smart kid. If we could just channel his energy and enthusiasm... man!
I would like to ask my friends and family for continued prayer for my young friend Ryliegh. She is still struggling with her health. Better for a few days and then she has a set back. What a strong and brave girl she is!
Well, Jackson has a basketball game this morning at eight so I am gonna run and face the day!
I will let you know how dads party turns out!

Happy Valentine's Day!

What a lovely day today! Roger has to work so we will celebrate a little tomorrow. Tomorrow will be one year since we got engaged! Wow! How much life can change in one year!
Erika and I are being a little lazy this morning. We don't have that opportunity very often. We have been sitting around discussing the merits of the aqua globe. And snd cursing that we didn't stop and grab some milk on the way home last night. Bummer!
I am still really enjoying my job. I am looking forward to spring because I think it may mean that we can find more jobs for people.
Erika had speech festival yesterday. She did a great job! I wasn't able to spend the entire day or be a judge like I have been in the past. I sure missed it!
Roger and I went to a friends birthday party last night. We had a great time! Great dinner and dancing and visiting!
Hope you all have a happy valentine's day!
