Spring Break 2008
We went to Florida for Spring Break. We stayed in Tampa. We went to Sea World, Busch Gardens, visited Cocoa Beach (where Alan spent his junior high years), visited my aunt and family, and went to Kennedy Space Center.

Easter 2008
We spent Easter at my mom's house (G'ma Net)
Hunting for eggs.
Showing off an egg.
Climbing a tree
Being silly. The bunny cake is a yearly tradition.
Being silly in the front yard.
Love that hat Larissa!
And a reminder that my dad is always close by. I always hear a mourning dove when I go to my mom's house. Here it is sitting on the wire.

Larissa horseback riding
Larissa took a few horseback riding lessons over the summer. No rodeos in the future. I mainly wanted her to not be afraid of horses and know how to ride. She enjoyed it.
Richard Petty Driving Experience
Alan turned the big 5-0 in June. For his birthday, he did the Richard Petty driving experience where he drove a race car around the track about 8-10 times. I personally have NO DESIRE to do that. Will and Larissa spent the night with G'ma Net that night. We called Will from the infield and he got to hear all the cars. You have to be 14 to ride in the car with a driver, 16 to actually drive. Will CAN NOT wait. He wants to do it NOW.
Waiting for his turn to drive.
All suited up. Any time now.
Afterwards. "I did it. I didn't wreck!"
"WHEW, it sure is hot in there!"

SNOW DAY
We woke up to a beautiful sight this morning.
“All School Districts Closed for Teachers and Students”
scrolling across the bottom of the screen.
LOL
Yes, the white snow on the ground was beautiful too!
I’m not sure who was more excited, Alan or the kids.
I had to work, so, I still got up at 5:30am and showered and worked for a couple of hours before the rest of the family came downstairs. Alan made “daddy pancakes” for breakfast and we dug out the snow gloves and coats and sleds.
They had a ball!
By the end of the day, Will went through 4 pairs of pants (they got wet even under snow bibs) and about 7 pairs of socks. Alan walked with them to the park where there is a huge hill. They rode the sled for almost 2 hours straight. Will also rode his 4-wheeler in the snow. He liked the way it would slide when he gave it the gas!
We expect there to be a delay in the morning as the roads have some water on them that will probably ice over during the night.
Alan is doing GREAT. He went to the “Wound Center” on Wednesday so they could take pictures, measure, and make sure I’m caring for it properly. I am!! I’m not quite ready to sign up for nursing school. I did once think about going into pharmacy though.
My friend Julie called this evening and asked about the washing machine. YES, it is still working. We got the 2 lights replaced in the kitchen. I took the car to the shop yesterday. $228.13. I drove it for about 5 minutes today and the CHECK ENGINE light came BACK on. :sigh: Julie said it might be they forgot to reset the sensor. Let's hope so! We haven't bought a new over the stove microwave yet, but only because I haven't made it to Lowe's yet.
Blurry pictures (because I took them thru the glass window)
Will on the sled
Larissa's turn
Warming up by the fire!
Thanks for checking in.
God bless!
