Andrew - my baby, my last minute baby - started Junior High School this year! So far, it is "awesome mom".

How about the Annual Trip to the Cabin - More Cute Pix!

We had a great time, as usual, at the family reunion at the cabin. Nothing better than just laying around enjoying nature with the people you love!

25 Random Things About Me (UPDATE TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAS CHANGED!)

1. I am trying to lose weight (always)
2. I am kind of ADD about projects (I have about 45 going) and reading (I have about 25 books on my night stand)
3. I love to do projects (see #2)
4. I love to read (see #2)
5. I love sports, especially football, basketball and lacrosse. I don't play anymore - I watch
6. I wear pajamas or work out clothes whenever I am not somewhere requiring better clothing! I wear slippers to work sometimes. (no one can notice under your desk - flip flops don't work in the winter so it is necessary)
7. I pay lots of board games with my grandson and he can beat me fair and square.
8. I used to be a neat freak (but don't worry, I got over it!)
9. I am afraid of heights (but I hike anyway and try to get over it)
10. I love the show "The Amazing Race" and never miss it if I can help it. New shows I like are "Modern Family" and "The Big Bang Theory" and "Glee"
11. I like to cook new recipes, but hate to plan and cook anything else!
12. I love to go out with the girls, I have my relative girls, my neighbor girls, my Dugway girls, etc....(this could be a problem with #1)
13. I love brownies and diet coke with lime and crushed ice (which I am not supposed to drink, because of my heart rhythm problem) the most!! I am planning on serving these at my funeral! I am trying to find the best brownies ever so I will know what to serve. It takes a lot of research.
14. I love to ride snowmobiles and 4-wheelers, but I hate to ride behind someone. I am a control freak and I always have to drive.
15. I like people - I have not met too many people that I don't like at least something about them.
16. Over the last few years, life has dealt us some blows - I find that although I lived through them, they made me weaker not stronger. They made me re-thing a lot of things.
17. My two favorite books are "The Blue Castle" and "Mrs. Mike" .
18. The last book I read was "Until You" - a historical romance. I don't read romances much anymore. It was very escapist!
19. I watched the entire super bowl including commercials and the special episode of "Glee".
20. I should get extra points for staying focused enough to finish this shouldn't I??
21. The worst thing that has happened is watching my son-in-law die of a brain tumor.
22. That still makes me cry.
23. I can't decide if I like to work or not. Some days I want to quit and other days I can't imagine not working.
24. I worry about some of the kids here. Otherwise, I would never have to take my work home with me!
25. I love my family (most of the time).
26. Oh dear, not much has changed! I guess I better learn to expand my interests or somthing!
