There we were....out in the "Wild Blue Yonder." Mom and Dad.....me, and the girls!

Oh, Kathy made the journey and enjoyed the afternoon with us as well. It was great to have mom and dad here to share and make new memories with us. All is well...All is well!

Ahhh....Summertime! I LOVE MY GIRLS!

Summer brings the best of everything for my girls and I. Since my job allows me "summers off," it's the perfect opportunity for the girls and I to make new memories...And, with each new memory comes new blessings!

Winterfest 2009

Ahhhh, CCHS. Churchill County High School. Home of the Greenwave - the rolling waves of blowing alfalfa as you look across the valley. Key word: blowing. Yes, the wind does blow a lot in this valley. But.....I love it. For the most part, I love good ol' CCHS too. This week was Winterfest 2009. The student council sponsered dress up days. I only partcipated in one dress up day - twin day. I was twins with my fellow PE teacher, Chele Dalager. We went through some old uniforms and showed off our greenwave pride.

This year Winterfest has been especially fun because our boys and girls varsity basketball teams are doing very well. Garrett and Miles play on the boys varsity team. They are ranked second in our zone. Addison, Payton, and I go to as many home games as we can. Actually, the girls love it - they sit on the first row at halfcourt with all their horses, stuffed animals, coloring books, crayons, books, and any other toy that looks appealing as we are packing for the game. The referees always talk to them when they are inbounding a ball on our sideline. Yes, they are rather cute.

On Friday, the boys played their last home game of the regular season. The seniors were of course honored with their parents - Garrett being one of them. As a member of the paparazzi, I was right there catching the action.

Both Garrett and Miles are fine basketball players. I have really enjoyed watching them play this season. They have high expectations for themselves on the basketball court and it is evident watching them on the court. I get emotionally involved in their games and I am not even a true sibling. I feel like my mom sometimes; I am so nervous that I can't bear to sit there a minute longer - I would rather wait outside in the lobby. They haven't disappointed me...it has been a treat. (I took a bunch of pictures at the game. However, hardly any turned out. Thank goodness we still have games left. Hopefully, I can get some good ones to add to the blog.)

We won our final home game - both boys did a fantastic job. Here they are with their grandparents, Verl and Martha Hendrix (Elaine's Parents).

Of course, against their wishes, Elaine made them stand next to me for a quick picture. At first, they were mad - I was the only one with a cheesy grin.

Then, Elaine yelled and they smiled but look at me. Yeah.

One year of ups!

It has been awhile since I wrote...so sorry. I get so busy with work and the girls -it doesn't seem like I have a second to slow down. So....referring to my title...it has been one year since Jason filed for divorce. It has been a very hard year but there have been some really good times, too. I have been blessed in so many different ways. I am grateful for this year - the ups and downs. But, especially, the ups...so here are a few ups that have made this year so wonderful.
