We pretended we were biking around Ocean City, New Jersey this morning. We stopped at Dunkin Donuts for a little breakfast and then ran into the Dollar Tree for some wrapping paper. Not quite the same and Dot's Bakery or Hoy's Five and Ten store. Raine and I really enjoy riding our bikes around our neighborhood. She has become quite brave and keeps telling me not to worry! </div>

It has begun a fun filled summer already. My boys are at Scout Camp in California having an awesome time making wonderful memories. The pictures Mo sends me are beautiful and I so wish I was hanging out on the beach. </div>

We celebrated the May birthdays and mine at the Feldman Country Club. Alan made the most amazing roasted corn and BBQ chicken. It was a wonderful time with amazing friends we consider family. Such a perfect way to spend my day. </div>

We hung out on the west side of the country last year so the kiddos have forgotten all the planning and work it takes to pack for a trip this long. Lil miss sassafras is having a terribly hard time only packing 14 outfits and Reece has a hodge podge of clothes that either don't match or are too small or too big. We are supposed to leave around three am on Saturday morning but since Mo was off buying a truck on Friday (my birthday) we decided to stay in town a whole extra day. I was happy about that because it made for more relaxed packing and a chance to celebrate Victoria Feldman and her graduation from Faith Lutheran High School! Yay for a delicious dinner by chef Marc at Parma with amazing friends! We enjoyed our night, came home and crawled into our Las Vegas beds one last time before our journey. 3 am would arrive too soon for me but I don't have to drive so sleep I will!Joellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08062063120857514220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18702502.post-86997415870211276122014-06-28T21:02:00.000-07:002014-06-28T21:02:31.744-07:00Reno to Las Vegas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our drive home took 7 hours and about 3/4 a tank of gas. Mo said that Edward the Edge did amazing on gas. Yay for our new car and the simple pleasures of great gas mileage. While we were playing around with my iPhone Sirius radio popped on. It was such a pleasant surprise. Mo enjoyed driving while rocking out to classic rock. I felt like I was back in Marilla growing up. What good memories music can bring on. Edward is still lacking a few wants such as a dvd player for the kiddos and a hitch for our bike trailer. Reece and Raine were able to watch a few movies on the lap top and play on their DSI and iPod. It was a sweet simple ride home.</div>

My boys found old fishing line laying around the pond. Then they searched for sticks and made their own old school fishing rods. Mo actually caught two fish on his lure that was actually a fly fishing lure. We did stay at Marilyn pond for very long but is was fun while we were there.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reno Aces baseball is just about the same as Las Vegas 51's baseball. I felt like I was sitting in the same stadium but it was a lot cooler out. We had an awesome date night with Mike and Shontell. I forgot how much Mo loved watching ball. It was so enjoyable seeing him excited about something other than hunting. The baseball player is the boy I fell in love with; glad to see he still has it in him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WOW, Kindergarten is exhausting! I feel like I am always repeating myself and asking the students to be quiet. It has been 2 years since I have had my own classroom; I have forgotten so many things. I have had to take several deep breathes throughout the morning and at lunch I feel like I need a nap. I try so hard to be calm and positive but I saw this reminder and it really hit home.</span>Joellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08062063120857514220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18702502.post-74233522876016636382013-08-25T19:18:00.000-07:002014-06-28T19:30:24.440-07:00Happy 7th Birthday Raine Roo<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You are an amazing little girl! When we asked you what you wanted to do for your birthday you asked to go to the Mini Grand Prix. You love to drive the race cars and ride the rides, especially the slide. You just kept going up and down and up and down. It was a really nice Sunday, not too busy and not too hot. For dinner, you asked if we could go to Mimi's Cafe. You love to eat mac n cheese there, well anywhere, that is your favorite food. You also love playing with Barbies and were very excited that you received a Malibu Barbie and Ken. Reece gave you a fun kit which allows you to color and design your own Barbie dresses. I baked and frosted your bday cake with the hot pink frosting you requested but then daddy took over. He did all of the awesome lettering and flowers. It was so sweet and delicious. We love celebrating you sweet heart!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am so excited to be teaching Kindergarten this year. It is a new beginning for me in this 17th year of teaching. I like change; God knows that and he has protected me. I hope to honor him even more this year than any other. I look forward to many warm words from five year olds. They have such a zest for life and love everything about it. I hope it is contagious and brings me the joy I have missed the past few years.</span>Joellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08062063120857514220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18702502.post-13999310599361884072013-07-16T09:51:00.000-07:002013-07-19T07:22:23.323-07:00Fishing on the bay<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We rented a pontoon boat from 1:30-5:30 and it was an awesome experience. The kids were even catching fish left and right. Aubrey caught 8 fish all by herself. Reece loved playing with the sand sharks everyone caught. Raine took a nice long nap and then swam in the bay. I sat and read my book or enjoyed watching everyone fish. It was a lovely way to spend the day.</div>

We had some sketchy weather while we stayed at Nags Head, Outer Banks but it was still awesome! I loved being able to walk out the back door and enjoy a cup of coffee while sitting on the sand. The ocean current was a bit rough and would often pull Reece across the water. He had a hard week playing in the sand and water with the cut on his foot. Reece did enjoy boogie boarding with Cordan but said the water was freezing. </div>

We spent Wednesday afternoon hiking up to Fish Creek Falls. It was so stunning and beautiful. We would have hiked up to the top but it was 5 miles up and had a 2,400 elevation gain. 8 and 6 yr old legs would not have been able to handle that after biking 5 miles yesterday. We found a nice mellow 2.4 mile loop hike to do instead. We were able to see some moose poop and hike along the creek during the beginning of our hike. Lil legs started to tucker out so we started motoring threw the Aspen trees to get down the trail. There were some amazing Aspen trees and wild flowers all over the place. The kiddos were rewarded with a trip to DQ for some mini blizzards after. It was my favorite way to spend the day.<br />

We rented bikes on Tuesday and played along the Yampa River on a 5 mile bike ride. Reece was psyched because his bike had gears. Raine was very nervous about her bike because it had hand brakes and she hasn't mastered riding a bike yet. Mo and I used a beach cruiser type of bike which was perfect except the seat was small and hard. We stopped near the end of the ride to have lunch near the wetland area. We also stopped at the Botanical Gardens to admire some gorgeous Colorado flowers. Reece and Mo loved playing around in a skate park near the north end of the trail. It was an awesome day.<br />

I wasn't sure how to celebrate Mo's 40th birthday, so I called some friends for assistance. Mike and Melissa threw Mo the best Redneck birthday party a gal, I mean guy could ask for. We all dressed up for the affair and ate cheese out of a can. Mel made a delicious jello cake for the old man.<br />

We didn't have 40 candles to put on his peanut butter Reese's cup brownie cake so 25 will have to do. Metro Pizza was a delicious place to celebrate his 40th birthday. I had the waitresses sing him a birthday song. We sang to him again at home and gave him his birthday presents. It was a perfect little celebration. </div>
