Randomness

So as usual I have not been posting regularly on my blog, oops! Sorry. I don't think most people really care, but since I don't keep a journal real regularly either I do care. I enjoy reading others blogs and seeing what's up with them especially those family and friends we don't get to see nearly enough. This post is going to be very random, sorry again.
1-I had all last week off from school and what did I accomplish? Not much. I read a good book, hung out with Mike's family still in town from the wedding, played with Jenna, interviewed for and was offered a new job, got TB test and tetnus shot for new job, went to see Horton Hears a Who with the fam (enjoyed it!), Easter egg hunt with the kids at Mike's parents, ate yummy Easter turkey with my parents and some siblings, watched the first few parts of the HBO miniseries John Adams (wonderful, and educational), had a much needed GNO....
2-This week I started my new job and am really excited about it. Orientation was not too exciting and so far training has been rather dull, but I am looking forward to the job. We will get benefits and they will pay for my school and I can get into nursing school faster which means I will be done faster. I figure the next few years will be crazy but so worth it! (at least that is what I keep telling myself) I also went back to school this week and realized I should have studied at least some of my break, oops! Oh well, that just means more studying this weekend.
3-It snowed yesterday! I didn't realize we were expecting a storm and was rather surprised to see a couple inches on the ground when we woke up. My recently opened daffodils looked pretty surrounded by snow. Of course it all melted before the end of the day, but I think we might get more this weekend. I am looking forward to next week when we should be back in the 50's.
4-The kids came home with their report cards yesterday and overall it was way to go kiddos! Rylee was so excited because she got a 4 in social behavior for the first time ine her life. (a 4 is an A) Usually she is a 2 or 3 point something since she enjoys talking so much.
5-Jenna has been soooo whiny lately, I hate it! She doesn't want to listen to anything and wants her way on every thing. I am trying so hard to be patient with her, any suggestions? On the plus side she has slept in her room (she still insists on sleeping on the floor, whatever) and stayed in her room all night the last 3 nights! Halleluah! It has been a couple months now since the whole "pee" incident started and since she has been sleeping normal. I just hope this new trend continues.
Right now I am drawing a blank. I don't have much else to share. I know my life is not too exciting but I am trying to enjoy all of it and appreciate how blessed I am. Even the hard "stuff" is a blessing, I just hope some day I really learn and appreciate it all.

What a Shiner!

Friday night we were all hanging out at Mike's parents. Us ladies left for a couple hours and left the kids with the guys. When we got back Cole was holding ice to his eye. I guess the kids were wrestling and Joey's (16 year old) knee hit Cole's eye. He had a huge bump just above his eye, he was so proud that he didn't even cry when it happened. Anyway he woke up Saturday with a bit of a purple eye and then Sunday it was even more purple. This is what it looks like today. It keeps spreading and looking worse. It is still pretty swollen. Not his first black eye and I'm sure not his last.

Pinewood Derby

Besides the wedding and the boys birthdays this week we also had the Pinewood derby this morning. It was the boys first and they have been so excited for weeks. They have been planning their designs the problem was that Mike didn't start working on them with them until this week. I know, it's a little late but they got them done, in large thanks to Mike's brother in law Jon. Rylee and Mike also made a car. They all had fun even though their cars didn't do too well. I think next year they will start a little earlier.

A Wedding and Family

On Thursday Mike's niece Ashley got was married to a neat guy, Brett. It made for a crazy week with family coming to stay and helping get things ready and the wedding dinner and the sealing and the reception and pictures etc. Despite all the craziness is was a great week. The dinner was wonderful (thanks mom and dad for staying with the kids) and the sealing was nice. The reception was at the 23rd Floor at the Wells Fargo Building and it was amazing! Mike's sister Wendy (the mother of the bride) is very talented in the party planning area and she along with her sister Shellie (caterer,etc by trade) way out did themselves. The decor was beautiful, the food was yummy, and the atmosphere was celebratory. The 23rd Floor is a neat venue with an incredible view of the mountains. It was a rainy day and at one point in the afternoon there was a rainbow. I tried to get a picture, but you can't really see it in the pic. We had to be there early for pictures and we helped set up. I am glad I came prepared, the kids (mostly the boys) were bored until I pulled the toys. I brought Legos and video games to keep them occupied and they were great! Their favorite part of the evening was the candy bar. I guess it's a new thing at weddings and was definitely a hit at this one! Doesn't Jenna look cute with the flower in her hair and the pose she's making? The other pic is of Rylee with her cousin Shannon (sister to the bride) and her Aunt Cheryl (Mike's sister from Northern CA that we were lucky enough to have stay with us this weekend), aren't they cute? I didn't take any pics of the bride and groom, but they both looked great too. It was a great day!

TWILIGHT MOVIE TRAILER

Don't know how many of you have seen this yet, but it's awesome! There are tons of other movie trailers and other videos on YouTube!

Family Tradition

This has become the tradition at at Delozier family gatherings: Rylee and Eliza (my niece) choreograph a dance and perform for all of us. They usually are nice enough to include Jenna. This pic is from the fam get together the other night. And not surprisingly they did a dance to a Jonas Brothers song. Anyone not familiar with the Jo Bros? If not you must not have a daughter 7 or older. I think they are ok, and worth checking out. I am personally in love with Nick like Jenna.
