LONG ABSENCE...
I know I said I would be better, not leave you all hanging waiting to hear from me. Don't worry we are all well, fairly well at the moment. It's just been one of those months.
Jason, Walter and Andy (dear friend) went to Las Vegas to cruise a BIG gun, shooting show. The boys had lots of fun, checking out things they will never be able to afford! I was sent several text messages with pictures of them trying out the newest and greatest things on the market. Another HI LIGHT was Jason met a UFC fighter. I would've loved to see him go up to him! Jason also met up with his Dad and step mom. They had a good visit.
The kids and I had Birthdays to celebrate, friends to visit and activities to attend. Jason still takes the kids to karate and they have fun. I think they have more fun coming home and showing me all their moves on their Daddy!!
Walter has been keeping very busy taking his friend Alice to doctor appointments. She came down with shingles and has had a very bad case! She is so Thankful for Walter.
We all talked and Katie has moved up to the loft. She and Ben have done very well sharing a room but it was time to try her up there. Grandpa Walter has been wanting her to try it and the time seemed right. Over February vacation I fixed it all up with her stuff. Grandpa can still make it to the computer and she has plenty of room for all her "stuff". We are awaiting the arrival of her new Hannah Montanna bedspread! That will surely make it.
I also re-arranged Ben's room so he had something special too. He doesn't need much. Moving the bed was enough for him.
Speaking of our February vacation, we had a great week off. It was our first vacation week together with me being home with my new job. I loved it!!!! On Sunday we went to Deep River for the Winter Carnival. The highlight was an ice carving competition, a few booths and street performers. Ben especially liked watching the ice sculptors. Fascinated by how they worked and trying to guess what they were making. We were way off with one! On Monday we went bowling with the Kerwin's. The kids had lots of fun and the parents had some competitive fun! Jason won! I know shocker! I question it since half way through the computer went off and we had to start keeping score again. Hmmm.
The kids and I went up to KidNation Imagination Museum in Bristol with Sheri and the boys. It was pretty cool. Two floors with lots for the kids to do: bubble area, garden center, computer room, climbing area, ESPN studio (You know who spent a lot of time pretending to be on air) and a restaurant play area, another favorite.
Unfortunately I think Katie picked something up there. Friday night she came down with a fever and has been down for the count since with fever and cold. Tonight she perked up a bit, we'll see what tomorrow brings.
Here are a few recent pictures.

Fun pictures
I'm at my Dad's so I decided to steal some fun photos to share.
I heard that I should label these pictures.
1. Christmas 1974 or75 My sister Amy and I
2. Bottom row: Me and Jane Top:Amy and Marianne Our childhood friends
3. My parents...Newlyweds...Can you believe my mom's hair! What a BABE!
4. "THE BOAT"-Jason gave this to my dad to help him pass his time during retirement. Yeah right!!!
5. Cousins up in Maine, squishing Nana
6. Oh remember...broken anlke, sooo hot but enjoying the scenery up in Maine.
I'm Back!!
Well I've been off all week taking a little break from all the parties!! We had our last one Wednesday with Jason turning 37. He had a fun day. His ladies made him a crown and septor! He had a very big head. Don't worry we bursted that bubble very quickly
This weekend Jason, Walter and his friend Andy went out to Las Vegas for a shooting show. Don't ask,they are having fun and not purchasing anything! Last night he went to the casino that was holding a BIG UFC fight! He and Andy were hoping to get in, but the tickets were $800 and up. He did not buy one! So they walked the strip a bit.
Today he's due to see his dad and his wife Gayla. That will be great for him.
As for us, we've had a fun weekend. Katie had a sleepover at a friends Friday and Ben and I went on an adventure! Oh yes, we had quite the adventure Friday night and once again my dad, our Poppy came to the rescue. The brief story: I locked myself out of the house at 5:15ish at night. Yes, it was getting dark. It was also the day of POURING RAIN. Panic is an understatement. No key in any secret places that I could find and no way to reach Jason who just took off on the plane. So we took a trek through the woods to our neighbors. The house had lights on and it looked really close, really close. Well it wasn't. We took one step into the woods and slid down on our butts! It gets worse. I will no longer worry about our well. There is a lot of water back there I never knew we had a stream! Yup. Rocks, swamp, pricker bushes and oh yeah a rock wall to climb over! Oh yes, I am not kidding. no one was home. So off we went to our next neighbor.
Well to make a long story short, we found a neighbor who was home and we called my dad who had a spare key. So the lesson is: IF YOU LIVE ON A MAIN ROAD AND HAVE NO NEIGHBORS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SPARE KEY!!!! LESSON 2: HAVE A SPARE KEY NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE!
We survived.
Now we are relaxing at my mom and dad's and having a fun day.

New Activities
Jason is hoping Ben will be in UFC 1000 MiddleWeight Championship! Seriously, we've been talking about signing Ben up for Karate for about a year. Well we finally did. Jason takes him a few nights a week and its a great bonding time for them!! Isn't he cute!
Katie has just started a 6 week HIPHOP class at the YMCA. She had lots of fun and can't wait till next week. Good, I was nervous, since she didn't want to do ballet/tap this year. Something new and different!
