Long week!

This week has seemed sooo long. Spring break without the spring!
Erika went to the dentist this week. No cavities! Wahoo! Only one baby tooth left and the 12 year old molars are ready to pop up anytime. The baby tooth will probably be out within the next couple of days. Cool...
Roger is out of town for his CAI class. He is in Indiana. He has caught a cold and has been studying very hard. Doing well on his quizes. I am proud of him.
Erika has been doing day camps with 4-H for the last couple of days. She got to spend Monday with her friend from school and tomorrow will probably spend with Kris and the kids doing something fun.
Pretty mellow because it is so cotton-pickin cold outside!

Scolded

Well, it has been a little while since I posted a blog and I was scolded today to catch up. I have been having a hard time with photos and am trying to make it a priority. I have so many priorities though! Darn it!
Been a busy couple of weeks for all of us. Roger had three auctions a couple of weeks ago. One for the church. One for... hmm... gees... my memory is... apparantly very short lived! The third one was for a lady with cancer in Grace. He does such a great job helping people and groups in need. we are in a giving community and he helps to bring out the best in people.
Last weekend we took Erika to soccer practice then down to American Falls to meet her Dad. We took Jackson with us just to spend a little time with him. He caught a bunch of little fish that were floating near the surface of the river and now is counting the days til we take him to the river again. We took him back for his final basketball game. He was so excited about his little fish that he caught! I don't think his coach knew quite what to think! His Grandma or Auntie Kass either! He is counting the days til we go again! Good time.
Roger and I celebrated ISU winning their basketball game and went to dinner with a few friends.
We painted one accent wall in the apartment and brought in my furniture out of storage. I have hesitated doing anything in the apartment to make it feel more like home because I have been hoping we find the perfect home to buy first. Got tired of waiting. Might as well be comfortable.
We both had productive work weeks. My work had a seminar with a guest speaker at the Mystique on Tuesday. We had close to one hundred people from different businesses around the community attend. I have had a couple of job orders placed after I went to the businesses and reminded them of our service and I had a great day meeting businesses in American Falls on Thursday. Things are gearing up in AF as we get closer to spring. Roger finished out this week with the regular Saturday auction. Appeared to be a good one from my unprofessional eyes.
We had Erika's PEP conferance this week. (Parent-teacher conference or personalized education plan). She is reading at an 11.2 grade level in the fifth grade. Cool! Doing good in math but having a little trouble with some of the concepts in geometry. She is totally at her grade level and is understanding concepts much better this year than she has in the past. Good teachers!
Erika had a sleep over with her friend Julia this weekend. It is so good when the kids have good friends!
Erika and I decided to update the white walls in our living room yesterday. Without much success. I don't think I picked up very good paint. We/I will have to give it another go next weekend. Ugh!
Kris invited us over for lunch today with her family and Jason's family. Great food and a nice way to spend the afternoon. She
We are planning on going to Boise on Friday night to watch Mercy Me and Jeremy Camp at the Idaho Center on Friday night. Cool! Then Roger will be flying out to go to CAI (certified auctioneer institute) on Saturday. It will be his final week of this auctioneer school for an important designation for auctioneers. I am very proud of him. He is very good at his job. He is having a little tidy attack right now. I better run and see what he is up too before he messes up my system...
Have a wonderful week!
