I'm Coming up for air!




I realize that I have serious communication problems! I may not do very well on here after all. I'm better at keeping the blogs up for the kids.

Our sweet Grandma Gerry passed away last week. April 5- I was so sad not to be able to go to her funeral. I was just too sick- Shane really had to talk me out of going. I'm going to post more about Grandma Gerry on the blog I have with Cheyanne.

I survived Springbreak! It worked out well that Shane gets off early and would go do things with Chey and Chandler. They didn't feel too neglected.


My head is just clearing up enough that I can do some more digital scrapbooking. So I'm posting some of them.

SPRINGBREAK IS HERE...

YES-IT IS! It should be called- DRIVE MOM CRAZY WEEK! Chey and Chandler would love to be on a fabulous trip like so many of their other classmates. When you are in school, there is an expectation of going somewhere and Chandler is just positive that he is not suppose to do any jobs! Well, the Petersen's are not going anywhere. I am a pro at finding things to do that do not cost money. Sadly, the kids only want to do things that do cost money. Luckily, I am more clever than they are!

Chandler and Chey are so lucky that their mom-for the most part is confined to the home until mom can make sure she is able to breathe wherever we go. Breathing is essential to living! So, we do what we can. In the mean time, Chandler will probably earn every award possible for a Wolf Cub Scout, and Cheyanne is working on earning her 2nd Personal Progress medallion. Poor kids! Their mom just won't leave them alone. Actually, they are loving it!

Today we are going bowling! (Guess what-it is an elective for a Wolf) Chandler wants to get a score over 100. He wants to beat Jessie score. He says she has either 99 or 98. Watch out Jessie!

Cheyanne is at the dentist. Brother Bills, our dentist and Shane's 1st Counselor in the High Priest group, keeps warning Shane he's going to have to beat those boys off! I'm sure it is coming up!

Cheyanne and I have started a blog together. We are going to work through the Personal Progress book together and keep a blog of our experiences. So, I am working on my "Knowledge" value project. It was to learn how to create a "CUTE" blog. Holy Smokes! I have probably spent 10 hours alone since yeasterday trying to figure it out. I stayed up late-which I never do- got up early and then finally had to shove my laptop away and say ENOUGH! Okay, so I'm now blogging on my very cute blog! Hard work pays off! Jessie will be so proud of me! Huh Jessie?!!
