The fever is gone!

The fever lasted only a few days! Now the weather is windy, dirty, hot, and just plain gross! The sky is not even blue, it is the color of dirt! Welcome to West Texas.

I have a bad fever

As I sit here "teaching" computers, I am longing to be somewhere else. The sun is shining... the birds are singing... the wind is blowing. Ok, I can do without the wind, but everything else is beautiful. I am stuck inside with children playing on the computer, singing to themselves with their headphones on, as hysterical as it sometimes can be.. I want to be outside! Yes, I said outside. I want to plant flowers, clean out flower beds, and sit on the porch and drink peach tea. I want to organize my craft room, organize the office, and finish decorating the girls rooms. But no, I am sitting in a classroom. Now don't get me wrong, I love my job. I love molding young minds, teaching them academics as well as morals, but right now it is hard! I have Spring fever!

Allison's birthday is Friday (can't believe she will be 8) We are having a luau at the house. You all know what that means... We are on a cleaning frenzy! I want everything perfect! I want the office clutter free (I may not have enough time to do that), the craft room clutter free (that probably won't happen), the girl's rooms spotless, J's side of the bathroom receipt free, the yard to look great, and the pool to sparkle. I don't think I am asking for too much do you? We have only been working on the yard for 2 weekends, in between soccer games and birthday parties. The house I have been decluttering for 2 weeks. Now to dust, sweep, mop, and finish the decluttering process.

I told you I have a fever! I am actually excited about cleaning. I am sure I am driving my family crazy!

Easter 2008

Jesus Christ is risen today Alleluia!
We began our day by worshiping our Risen Lord! What a privileged it is to be able to freely worship!

We arrived home and the Easter bunny had come to visit!


We then left for Lamesa to spend the rest of the day with Mom, Dad, and the O'Brien clan.
Kelby, Brendel and Amberlee spent the night with Ma and Papa and went to Sunday School and church with us. Karrie and Branden stayed home and cooked for everyone.

We ate, dyed a few eggs and then hunted some eggs!
Can you believe we had to hunt eggs in our coats! It was really cold! We had a really great rain! Thank you God for the rain. We have not had rain in for ever!
We all had a great time being with family!

SPRING BREAK!

Yeah! Spring Break is here!
We get to stay home!
Kay, Gerald, Katelyn and Lauren stayed a few nights with us on their way to the Grand Canyon. We had a great time.


Kay is boxing on the wii. We all were pretty sore after playing the Wii this weekend.



We had dinner with Harold and Judy.















And all the girls had fun playing all weekend!


We wish Kelley, Amber, and Ariel could have been here too.!

New Office!

We have purchased a new office for the clinic. We are waiting on permits... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting.
Here are a few of the before pictures... When the remodel starts I will post more pictures... Pray that the permits are issued SOON!

This is the entrance... It will be gone and all you will see is the atrium when you walk through the front doors.


This picture looks out into the atrium. This area will be a reception desk.



















This area will be part of the reception. There will be walls gone and hardwood flooring. The doors will be gone too.

These are just a few of the pictures! This office is going to be fabulous. We will have massage therapist in the office as well as all 4 Drs.

The Lord has truly blessed us.!

Another tooth gone

This
Allison finally lost her 3rd tooth.... What DRAMA! We have been working on this tooth for 2 weeks. Finally I told her she had 3o min. to pull it, after that Daddy was going to pull it. Daddy ended up pulling it!



Finally, Saturday, March 15, J. pulled it!
This is the after picture! See she is all smiles! That wasn't too bad now, was is Allison?

Easter Pagaent 08

Every year the 1st and 2nd graders at St. John's do an Easter pageant. This is my favorite program of the year! It is so impressive! Allison, as a 2nd grader, had a speaking part.

Keely and J, before the pageant. J. was not feeling great, he had just had a tooth pulled. But he was being a good dad and came to the pageant despite the pain!
