Back in Business!

I'm baaaaack, and so grateful to my computer-genius, brother-in-law! Thanks to him, I have a brand new, fully rebuilt computer. He's amazing and I'm so thankful he had mercy on me and took time to look at it. I was bit lost without my trusty laptop!

Let's see...it's been so long since I've posted. Where do I start? Guess I'll give you the run-down on what I've been up to.

1. I went to Abby and Ethan's end-of-the-year preschool program. Abby loved that she had a captive audience, and Ethan just wanted to make it through without being noticed! (ha!)

2. I lost a tree in the backyard during the storms that blew in that Friday in May.

3. The last week of school I helped Mom keep Tina's kids. I showed up after work and helped with ballgames and then stayed over night. Mom came back over in the morning to get them all to school. Tina and Chris were San Fransisco. While they were away, Ethan got hit in the head with a bat. Here's a picture of the huge bump he got from it. Doesn't he look pitiful?4. School ended!!!! (I got these beautiful flowers from a student.) On the last day Kelly, Leslie, Carson, and I all went to lunch at Mr. Yen's to celebrate! I had heard Leslie rave about it for so long, I had to give it a try. The general chicken did not disappoint. It was delicious!5. Garrett has been dying to try out Mr. Yen's, too. So, once Tina and Chris got home, we all went there together.
6. I went to Jacob and Ethan's first baseball game! They won 10 to 0!

6. Sunday evening I went to see Night at the Museum 2. (This is not the best picture because I felt like a goober taking the picture, and therefore did not give my "subjects" any notice.) After the movie I went to Tina's to pick-up my laptop, and we all played Big Brain Academy on the Wii.

7. On Memorial Day, Mom and Dad surprised me with a brand new, self-propelled mower! Talk about cutting the work in half! It's so nice! We all finished the day at Tonya and Matt's with a cut-throat tournament of Mario Cart.

8. Yesterday, I mowed the yard, Mom helped me trim bushes, and Chloe went to the groomer.

BEFORE

AFTER: I like my landscaping sparse so that I know there is nothing slimy, creepy, or crawly hiding among the bushes. I'll post another picture later when I get all my flowers planted. That is if it ever stops raining!!
And, of course, here's Princess Chloe.

9. I guess that brings us to today. I got my hair cut this morning, did some shopping with Mom, and went to Farkleberry's for training. (I'm filling in for 3 days while Fran goes to Spain!)

With that, I think you're all up to speed! It feels good to be back!
