New Glasses!!

Katelynn broke her glasses the last few days of the school year. James and I decided this time she would get the two for $99 special. She did not want metal frames this time, and she did a Great Job of picking out her new glasses....

Katelynn riding her bike!

Ok so I don't know if it was me or her, but Katelynn still has training wheels. This summer we have some goals for the kiddos to reach and riding a bike is one of Katelynn's. Today being the last day of school, and nice weather. I took off her training wheels and we set forth on a mission. She did it after only a few minutes she is amazing. I think she could have done this a long time ago... :0) Hurray for Katelynn one down... I am so proud of her you have no Idea.. What a Great way to start the summer...

Science Fair!

This year I asked Katelynn if she wanted to be in the Science Fair. "sure" she says. Ok then what would you like to study? "the moon". What about the moon? " how it gets is shapes". Hmmm.... How do you think the moon gets its shapes? "from the Earth". Well then I guess we have a Science Project! She did Great! First we looked on the Internet to study the different phases of the moon and found out that there are 8 phases (did you know that?). Also had to test her theory of the Earth causing the phases, and well she found out that she was wrong. This is how she would say it" the sun bounces off the moon and back onto the Earth that is how we see the moon". She also learned the many phases like the New Moon and the Waxing Moon oh and there is the Full Moon stuff like that. She loves it in fact every time we are outside now we try to figure out what phase the Moon is at, and which way it will be going from Waxing to Waning(right or left). Then we Made a moon box out of a shoe box painted the inside and also poked holes in the box at different angles, put a flashlight in it and you could see the different phases of the moon, and how it is affected by the different angles you are looking through (cause you know the different phases are caused by the Sun and where it happens to be shining at the time).Did you also know that the Moon is always half-way lit we only see the part we are facing at the time. She did so well she got what they call SWEEPSTAKES(which means she gets to go to the district Science Fair). Once she got to the District Science Fair she managed to pull off a 1st place. WOW and she is only in 2nd grade. Took James and I at least till 7th grade to reach that status... Nice now on to being an Astronaut!<

CES Awards 2009!

Yeah!!! The end of the year is here, and with that comes Awards.

Katelynn did so well this year AB honor roll, and She also got Sweepstakes for her school Science Fair and 1st Place at her District Science Fair! Way to go Katelynn. .

Austin did well this year he passed his Pre-kinder class and was Awarded the Citizenship Award for his Pre-Kinder class. I am so proud of my kiddos they have worked hard this year to do well. I look forward to having a 3rd grader and a Kindergartener soon. I can't wait to see what the new year will bring for them

Need I say more... The Twilight Saga: New Moon 'Trailer'

Seeing Double!

I remember when I was about seven and I was in a wedding as a flower girl for one of my mom's friends. I wore this blue dress that I loved to twirl in. Well I found this dress in the garage and decided it was time. I took it in to get dry cleaned and tada... Katelynn reminds me of the day back when. Isn't she cute.. ><


Oh and she loved to twirl in it too.. I guess its the dress. I had my mom send me a copy of me in the dress and I have to do some work to (1)find it again. (2) crop it so that it is just me in the dress.

Austin's Field trip!

Austin Pre-kinder class went to the zoo this past month, and Savannah and I were lucky to be apart of it. He is so cute in his faded out Scooby hat. Here are some pics from the day.


.Did I ever tell you that I love this Sea Lion he is just so darn cute!

Grass!! Grass!! Grass!!

Ok so I have to tell you that grass is not my thing. First of all you have to cut it and trim it and then water it... AHHH...Too much work.. That is why I have a hubby for this sort of thing, but as you all know mine is out on loan for a bit longer. I thought I was doing good. My hubby told me to put Ironite on it, so I did. Then I started to see this one area becoming a problem. Not turning green. WHY? I don't know! I asked my hubby once again, and he told me to water it really good and put seed down, then put manure on top to have a top soil, so I did... NOTHING!! Still dead.. Watered.. Watered... and Watered some more.. NOTHING!!! ERRR.. We have come to the solution that we will have to rent a tiller when he returns(cause this is way too much manual labor for me to handle LOL) and till that whole area to dig up the ground. Oh ya I forgot to tell you I went out and bought this special tool that was suppose to make it easier for you to dig up your ground. Ya right the ground is like clay it is ORANGE! So I had my kids doing cheap labor and still nothing came of it. It is nice to know they will lend a hand when you need it. Austin is so cute being such a big little man.. Savannah was trying to build a sand castle I did not have the heart to tell her what manure really is. Like she would understand anyways she's three... Love it... As you can all tell we are having a blast at the Fisher household

Artichokes of plenty!!

So here is my first batch of Artichokes this year. They were yummy, and now I have 6 more to cut. Wow.. I love this plant! This is one of those you have to wait a year before you get anything out of it. This is now our second season and the plant stays green all year round and during spring to summer we get yummy Artichokes. The best part is that my kids love them ( well Katelynn more than the other two so much she will have 2nd and 3rds..).. Do you see the big one... It was huge!
