So I guess I should update my own blog. Heidi is right, I rarely have time to blog, either read or write. In fact right now I am sitting in English class listening to presentations and figure I should be able to do both.

Life is pretty busy right now. I have been planning my schedule both for school and work and trying to get them to work together. Not this time. I will be going to school everyday next semester, which means laundry will be done at night and the house will always be a mess. Oh well, the kids will have to pitch in.

The kids are doing well. Corbin, Trevor and Kortney all made honor roll, Kortney even got straight A's. She was very excited about that. Corbin, and I, are both excited that he received a full tuition scholarship to Snow College, based on his grades and ACT score. He is a great example for all of us. My kids will be hearing about the importance of good grades due to this. He now just needs to worry about housing, which is very cheap, and food. He is going to try for other scholarships to help cover those expenses.

We hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and eat lots of turkey!

What to do.............

So what would you do if you had someones computer and it went straight to their blog page? Well you would put in a blog for them, (you all know you would) I was using Debbie's laptop to catch up on my blogs. I in to my site and was reading blogs. Well I need to update my names as my brother is changing his site. Anyway I went in to sign in and it brought me straight to here. I will update a little bit for her. She is really busy with school, work and kids. At the moment she is at a play with Trevor,Kortney, and Kenzie. Its a play that the high school is putting on and her neighbor is in it. The play is Beauty and the Beast. I am here watching here kids and Survivor.I think that I will also fold some of her laundry, as I have nothing better to do.

As for Thanksgiving, she is having dinner here at her house. My family will be here, mainly because the Seahawks play the Cowboys which are Mike and Corbin's teams! Sad I know but to me its not a holiday without lots of family. She will also have Dentin's parents over, I am not sure about his brother thats still here but probably him too. We will then peruse the newspaper to see what deals are out there and yep, Black Friday here we come!!!!

I guess I better stop now and figure out how to get on my own site.

Happy Thanksgiving!

more about D.C. ( sorry some is repeat)

this trip to DC was boring except for the museums and the world war two memorial. oh and i wont forget the changing of the gaurds ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington National Cemetary.



That was Trevor's two cents.



Unfortunately he is probably right. My one complaint was that everything closed at 5:30 pm. It really limited what we could cover in just 3 days. Also I would probably have left Korinn and maybe Trent home. We did alot of walking and after a few hours they were both tired.



The Metro is definately the way to travel in D.C. We took it to the Pentagon, Arilington National Cemetary, the Mall (where all the Museums and Monuments are), and then out to our friends, the Curtis family. We missed seeing Nicole and her family, they were in Idaho that weekend.



Corbin had the camera and loved Arlington and the WWII monument. He took most of the pictures and very few of them have people in them, but he seemed to be having a good time.



Trent was very impressed with the Lincoln Memorial and Korinn loved standing up on the subway. Kortney I am really not sure about. She was upset because she left her camera either where we ate lunch or on the subway. I think her favorite part was shopping.

It's a new month

Ok, so I just realized that my last few posts were saved not posted. So here is about our trip to D.C.

Well I just noticed it has been a month since my last post. This why I don't write in a journal. I realize it is important but I really don't like to write. The kids and I had a great time in D.C. My only complaint would be that everything closed early. The city pretty much shuts down at 5:30 pm. Now I can understand the government buildings but the museums as well? What about all of us tourists that want to put in a full day. It really limited us on what we could see. Also if I could do it again I would probably leave home Korinn and maybe even Trent. There was alot of walking and they got tired. Trevor was really good about giving piggy back rides but Corbin complained about a hurt shoulder and wasn't very willing. I plan to go back without the kids so I can spend more time looking and reading. I think the younger kids liked the monuments best. Corbin seemed to enjoy the war monuments and Arlington National Cemetary. He had the camera and took most of the pictures. Too bad they have very few people in them. I'm not really sure about Trevor and Kortney. Trevor had fun in the Air and Space Museum. There is an interactive section that you can try out a bunch of things dealing mainly with air currents. Why planes fly
