Bad Blogger Mama, Bad

Dear Kids - I've been a bad blogger mama, I know.  I've been doing this 300 day challenge thing - - where I try one new food a day for 300 days - and writing about it.  The link is here: http://300newfoods.posterous.com/#

Granted, I am only in day 25 of this challenge, so that does not quite excuse my lazy blogging efforts on this front.  I've just really been busy concentrating on life, fitness and taking care of all of you.

SO many things have happened, it's been crazy around here.  Elva, our former foreign exchange student from Taiwan, came to visit.  That was awesome.  Kayla - your cousin - moved here to Houston from Oklahoma. She is living with Ashley in her apartment.  Daddy loves his job.  Mama is obsessed with clean eating and getting our family to eat healthier.  I'm also shrinking - which is a good thing.  You guys spoiled me rotten on Mother's day. Daddy spoiled me rotten for our 18th wedding anniversary.  We went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and saw Alan Jackson.  That was cool.  Grammy and Grand-dad came down to visit from Wisconsin.  It was wonderful to see them.

Victoria, my dear - I am homeschooling you now. I am happy with this change.  Hope you are too.   ALSO, you had the lead role as 'Duchess' in 'The Aristocats' and you did an amazing job.  I love seeing you on stage, you are such a natural.

William - you got promoted in your boy scouts from Tiger to Wolf.  We had a great picnic where you got promoted and you looked so very handsome in your uniform.

Thomas - you are reading like a champ.  I just love the way you are reading, and you are so good at it - and YOU Love it - which is great.  I love hearing you read to me, and to your brothers.  You are about done with Kindergarten, so hard to believe.  You are excited to be a Tiger in Cub Scouts when school starts in August.

James - you're a toddler in full motion.  You are talking more and more - and you just finished up your pre-school.  You had fun.  Your very favorite activity there seems to be playing with the building blocks and riding the tricycle over and over and over.  You are quite talented at pushing those pedals.

Anyway - - it's late and I need to get to bed, but wanted to write a quick little something here, before another several months go by.

Love, MOM
