A picture of our family...

I'm down at home for about five days, during our spring break. I came across this picture from awhile back. Thought I'd share it. It's my brother in-law Anthony, my sister, her dog Johnny Cash, my momma, my daddy back when he was fat :), myself and my dear husband. We are under the North Bend bridge.

Head size



I'm sure everybody has been told something about there birth. Some loving or excruciating story that there parents have shared. After a conversation last night...we starting wondering how big peoples heads really are. So with a little help from a tape measure a few of us have measured are noggins. If this is interesting to anybody in even the tiniest or orange sized way..please share and and it'd be fun to see the average sizes. cm or inches is fine(Inspired by a friends birth story)

Spring break

Best thing about working for a school district is that i get SPRING BREAK! It just isn't quite as cool as it used to be cause I seem to be the only one... :) Oh well... We'll see what the week will hold and maybe I'll paint my toe nails.

spring time...

Wow what a weekend! Baby shower, wedding, hanging out with friends we don't see very often, driving to the beach, eating way to many nachos, and just hanging out... i think it's time to sleep a bit. After a crazy weekend, I headed out to Hubbard for a nice day of work. When I got out there, their were only going to be two kids in the class, so now i'm home writing to you all! :) It is a beautiful day...an awesome way to start spring! I think today might be a good day to get some yard work done and maybe go for a bike ride.
A couple of days ago we celebrated St. Patrick's day. I've always like this holiday, not because i like drinking cause i think beer is beyond nasty, but probably mostly because the color green rocks! Ok maybe it's cause i have some Irish blood dripping in my veins! But i have to say this year is special because Baby Forgey has finally made his presence known in this world. Still nameless has far as i know... I'm wondering if Patrick might be a suitable name. I wonder if he'll resemble a leprochan...but i highly doubt it. Congrats Bob and Amy...hopefully we'll get to meet this little guy in the next week or so!

mindless ramble

I haven't written anything for awhile but i feel like i should cause that's the cool thing to do. Being that my one obsession in life is to be freakin' cool...there you go. Maybe i should fill out one of those surveys that bring out your deepest secrets and obsessions. Or maybe not.
It rained really hard today when i was working out in Hubbard...it was cool. I saw a rainbow but no hot air balloons.- random comment on the day
