Find the cat!!

We have always laughed that Jewel blends in with the carpet. Here is proof! Try to find Jewel.

Here is a picture of us.

Florida Pictures

Ok, I have really no time to breathe. However, we did go to Florida over Labor day and here are a few pictures. Side note: I have a killer picture of me on the beach, but to honor my husband I will not post it. (But I look really good!!)

This is G-ma's and G-pa's pool. And you wonder why I want to move to FL.

This Coconut tree is in their backyard. I really wanted to bring a coconut back to KY, but they said they were not ripe.

Here is Cocoa Beach!

Here is a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Steel family (minus Graham.) This is Jason's aunt and her family. (She is a teacher!) They a bunch of crazy people!!

Here are Jason and his grandparents. Please note: You are looking at a rocket scientist. (No joke! He has the NASA plaque to prove it!)

School started......no time to post

Ok, since school has begun, I have had NO time to post anything. I do blog at school for my students, but not on this one. I am on facebook, which is fun. We are going to FL this weekend, so maybe I'll post pictures.

Good-bye summer....hello students

Well, as of tomorrow, school has started. It has been an interesting summer. Here is a list of the cool things I did over the summer.

-Went to Alaska (way cool!)
-Read all the Harry Potter books (more reading than I will do for the next three years combined.)
-Rearranged my house
-Hosted a Sunday School picnic at the house (which is why I rearranged it)
-Slept
-Watched TV
-Gained 5 lbs (as a result of watching tv and sleeping too much)
-Took the cats to the vet (Jewel twice!)
-Grew tomatoes and peppers
-Went to Morehead KY
-Went back to Lexington---bowled with Mom
-Went to the zoo 3 times
-Created a blog!!

Basically I was a lazy bum. I guess it is good that I go back to work. It makes me get up in the morning and be productive all day long. It is fun while it lasts, but I would get bored if I didn't have anything to do. (Which is why I figure I can be a stay at home mom. I will have PLENTY to do with little ones.) I will try to blog once a week, but who knows. I am checking on my facebook a lot, but that will probably stop this week. I will be exhausted every night this week, so don't expect me to be productive. (I will try to be "awake" enough for Thursday night.)

Have a great school year!!!!

Arg! I am too busy to blog!

Yes, school starts in 7 days and I have been very busy to blog. I have also been introduced to facebook. The funny part is that I don't even know what to do on facebook. I mean, what is the point of having that and a blog?? I guess so "non-facebook" people can see. But it is a lot of work and seems as if I am doing double duty. Well, school starts soon so the chances of me being able to keep up with both is slim. Besides, I don't think JCPS will let you on at school.

Puking cats are no fun

Yes, that is correct. Jewel has been feeling under the weather and well, I am tired of it!!! She has been clingy cat and whenever she eats, she pukes. The good news is that she did not puke up the tuna water I gave her, so that is progress. Poor Shadrack has been starved since I cannot leave food out for Jewel. (I try to sneak food to him, but he doesn't understand that it is now or never.) I called the vet and he wants me to buy VERY expensive cat food that is gentle on her stomach. Hopefully I can get away with buying a small amount and she will get over this. Please pray that Jewel feels better. School is starting and it is hard to miss a day. (Even if it a very good reason.)

PS Tell Jason happy birthday on the 1st.

Zoo Pictures

For the past 2 years, I have taken Neleh, my niece, to the zoo for her birthday. Here are this year's pictures.

It was a cool day so the animals were ACTUALLY doing something. The giraffes were butting heads.

This is the "Neleh" gorilla. Notice the blankie.

What a cute baby elephant!!

Two dorks that are related.

The birthday girl, Neleh, and her sister, Becka. (Becka is in the green.)
