My Mark O'Shea Video...get your tissues out

Here is a video that I just absolutely love. The singers's name is Mark O'Shea. He was a guest at a convention that I went to a few months ago. He was so kind and nice. He sang for our group. And I'm sure that he wouldn't mind me putting his video from YouTube on the blog as during the convention performance they said they really like/need the publicity. I really just love this video and I hope that you do too. The song is on my ipod, so if you like it, go to itunes and buy it.

My Husband's New Grill

Here is a pic of T and his new grill. Our old one, which was about 8 years old, died on us. So to celebrate labor day weekend, we bought a new grill and of course christened it right away with burgers and margatitas. The burgers were excellent and the grill is great too!


We also took a picture of our catus. You can see how amazingly tall it is. When we bought it at home depot (also about 8 years ago) it was about 18" high. It is now visible from the second floor of our house. When it gets windy it sways in the breeze, but it is close enough to the house that it seems to be protected. We will be sad if it breaks, but I don't know how much taller it can get.

My Benihana Kids

For my birthday we went to Benihana's for dinner. The kids like Benihana's but Z is a bit scared because he thinks it's going to be loud. But when he realizes that it isn't going to loud and the food arrives, then he digs right in.

A few days after the bday meal, we were home and hanging out. The kids decided to play Benihana. I got their little table out. Here they are taking turns

First Z got his cart like the "cooker man" does and makes his "shrimps" for E.

Then it is E's turn and she gets the pepper going and slices some tomatoes for Z. They really had a good time.

My Daughter's Kindergarten

Here are a few shots from kindergarten. E is doing really well in kindy. She really likes it. Her hours are from 8am to 3pm. Here are some pictures that her teacher took. The first one is outside on the playground and the other one is of her reading a book during quiet time. The kids can either nap or read. It is their choice. And of course she chose to read. Why sleep when you can do something else!

My Bug Experts

Right before I started my new job, the kids and I went to the museum for some fun.

My Son's 3rd Birthday

Z celebrated his 3rd birthday/

We all had a really great time.

My New Study

We were able to turn some space in our garage into a small study. Here is T putting in the floor.

I painted the walls.

And the kids wanted to say hi.

My Daughter's Recital

Some photos from E's recital.
She did a dance called the lollipop medley. It was very cute and she did not have stage fright
