We had a great time at camp:) We went up Saturday afternoon. Lexie spent the night:) We went to LaBranche Tavern for dinner with Jason's parents, grandma, aunts & uncles, brother, and cousins:) My whitefish could have been broiled a few more minutes, but it was ok. Brett & Lexie both had chicken tenders while Jason, of course had prime rib. Then we headed back up to camp to visit:) We didn't get home until 11 p.m. or so!!! Jason couldn't believe that I let him stay that long!!LOL!! I'm not real big on camp, which is suprising as I love to be out in the woods!?! Weird, I know:) Sometimes it's kinda boring, but it was very nice this weekend:)
Lexie's god-brother, Spencer, was pretty entertaining:) He's almost 3 and he's busy, busy, busy:) And he loves Lexie!! I realize that there's no such thing as god-brother, but that's what Lexie calls him as his mom is her godmother;) Leave it to Lexie:) Strangely, Rachel wasn't even at the baptism, but that wasn't her fault - she was in the hospital having Spencer so Jason's Aunt Sallie stood as proxy:)
On Sunday, we got up to camp around 11 a.m. for breakfast:) We spent the day there until about 7 or 8 p.m. We had brats and hot dogs and loads of other goodies for dinner as well as my yummy potato salad:)
I took lots of pics - not too many of Brett as he spent most of his time inside camp playing Legos or his DSi most of the time. I did limit his gaming time, though, so mostly it was playing Legos:)
Lexie and I took a short walk with Rachel, Ashley, Spencer and the 5 dogs: Kaylie, Kyra, Toby, Midnight, & Ruger. It didn't last too long since Spencer wasn't too into it:( Lexie rode the 4-wheeler alittle and she went on a couple rides with her daddy:) She absolutely LOVES to ride the 4-wheeler:) With her helmet on, of course!!!
We bought Lexie a puzzle to work on at camp - she picked one with wolves on it - just realized I totally forgot to take a picture!!! Darn it!! Anyway, I separated the edges for her and Grandma Wanda helped her work on it:) It was mostly done when we got up there Sunday morning, but Brett & I finished it:) I will have to get some more puzzles for camp:) That was fun:)
I guess that's all I can think of now:) Oh, we had worms & dirt for Brett's birthday yesterday - per his request from grandma:) He spent his birthday money Friday on Legos:) We got him his action replay (for his DS) and Pokemon White Version for his DS which he really wanted:) He did get some more birthday money last night, so I'm sure he will have that spent this afternoon as we are going shopping:)
So, I apologize for not posting pics, but I forgot my SD card:( Hopefully, I will be able to post them tomorrow:) Thinking about getting the kids each a notebook to use as a journal for the summer so I can post their thoughts:) They don't really like to post their own too often as they can't type so it takes them too long so I figured this might be a good way for them to blog:)
Well, have a great day!!!!
Brett & Lexie

Hey just a little extra note:)
Lexie got her report card today:) She's got all A's:) A couple were A-s but excellent:) She only got 1 B on her report card for the whole year!!!! Why to go, baby!!!
Brett had an excellent marking period as well:) I don't have his final report card yet, but right now, on PowerSchool this is his: 2 B+s, 4 As, & 1 A-!!! I knew you could do it, buddy!!! And I also want to note that these were most of his highest marks in each subject all year!!! Only 1 or 2% difference:)

A small note:)
Ok, hopefully that solved her problem:) I'm pretty sure these headphones are broken:( Brett is sitting in his cubicle laughing - he's watching Lego videos on YouTube:) Don't worry, I'm sitting right next to him so he's not watching anything he's not supposed to!!!
Well, I guess that's all I have for now:) We will probably have tons of pics this weekend:) So have a great weekend just in case I don't get on here:)

Brett's birthday & last day of school all rolled into one:)
Today is the last day of school:) & Brett's 12th birthday;) My kids are finding themselves both happy and sad at the end of the school year. Lexie is taking it a little harder than Brett as you may have noticed from her brief blog entry. She is very sad that this was her last day at Lemmer/Elementary school:( She is very excited to go to the Middle School in the fall, but she will miss Lemmer very much!! She has so many wonderful memories of her Lemmer years:)
Brett had an awesome day:) He's super excited since it's his birthday and the last day of school:) He is bummed that he won't be able to see his friends everyday:( He's not even playing soccer this summer, but hopefully we can arrange some get-togethers with a couple of his buddies:) Especially Aiden & Zach:)
He's requested Cola Chicken & Cheese Ravioli for dinner tonight:) Even though I just made it last week, he still insists on having it tonight:)
Well, our plans for the weekend include being at camp pretty much all weekend. I work Friday & Saturday morning and again Monday morning, but I'm off by 12:30 each day which is super nice:) Jason, naturally, has Saturday, Sunday and Monday off - the bum!!
Saturday night, we are all going out to the LaBranche Tavern for dinner:) Lexie is more than likely staying up at camp all weekend as she LOVES it!! Just like her dad, you know:) Brett is bummed that Taylor won't be there since he will be down state.
Ok, I'll be right back - Lexie's computer has no sound, so I gotta trade her:)

Random Pics May 2011
Brett was getting bit by some bugs while we were walking
He's taking pictures
At the Superior Dome for the boat & rv show (with Morgan)
She loves this shirt:)
This is the Superior Dome:)
Lexie & Lil' D were playing:)
He just got hit by a water balloon:)
Lexie's filling her water balloon:)
I just thought this was cool:) I took it on my walk yesterday:)
Here's the little Rascal!!!
He's playing with Buddy's big pink mouse:)
He was helping Brett with his homework:)
Adorable!!
He likes to pose for pics just like Lexie does:)
He was taking a nap on Lexie's bed:)
He's so tiny:)
Upcoming birthday & a New Additon to our family:)
Hey, all!!! What up?!?
Well, today is Tuesday and ....hmmm what to say about Tuesday?? Well, I am sitting at the library waiting for Brett to get done with school as I have to pick him up today:) He's not looking forward to it since he's got to get 3 shots today:*( Poor baby!! I told him it was an early birthday present from me;) Nice, aren't I? Anyway, they need a couple shots before entering 6th grade which Brett will be in next fall!!! My little baby is growing up way too fast!!
He's got 2 days til his birthday which is also the last day of school:) He's pretty excited but is having a hard time picking out what he'd like for his birthday - not that he had a hard time telling Grandma Wanda that she could just give him money!!! What a brat, hey??? I'm sure his list will be the same as it always is...video games and legos - that's pretty much it for my boy. Although, he's had his DS taken away for this whole marking period as his grades weren't very good and he's been reading like crazy:) Plus, his grades have improved ALOT!!! :) Mama's soooo happy!!!
Ok, so Lexie got a new kitten on Saturday:) He's super cute!!! We finally compromised on Rascal as a name for him. I suggested Amigo (since our other cat is Buddy) but she wasn't going for that:( She had some really strange ideas for names for him!! Apparently she really wanted a female that she could name Dixie. She wants to spend Saturday night up at camp with grandma & grandpa who stay up every Memorial Day & Labor Day weekends, but she's worried about leaving Rascal home without her. What a kid!! I told her I think we can take care of him while she's gone:)
Naturally, Buddy isn't too fond of him and Kyra & Kaylie love him but he's not too fond of them!! Typical!!
Ok, well, that's all I can think of for now so I'm gonna have to see if I can upload some pics:)
Have a great day, all!!!

Frustrated:(
Hey, guys, I'm really sorry, but every time I try to upload her dance videos, it tells me there's an error:( I will have to try again later:( Maybe it will let me upload them on facebook so you'll have to check there:( Sorry!!!
Here are a few of the things Lexie decided to take pics of on her trip to Mackinaw City:)
This totally looks like something I'd take a pic of;)
She loves nature:)
Here's the bridge:)
Not sure where this is
I'm assuming this is the flag at the fort.
This is part of the fort:)
Lexie & I'm pretty sure thats her friend, Hannah.
Is this real?!?
Well, she definitely had a great time:)
Monday, May 16, 2011
Just another manic monday...
Well, Lexie is in Mackinaw City by now or pretty close:) She was really excited:) Brett even asked her if she was excited this morning:) I hope she takes lots of pics and has tons of fun:) We've got more pics from this weekend, but they are on her SD card:( so I can't post them yet!
Brett's not feeling very well today - he's having a hard time breathing:( Jason took his inhalor to work with him just in case he needs it - he works across the street from the Middle School:)
I think that's all I've got for now - look for some more later this weeks:)

A day at camp
Sunday, May 15thJ
Hey all!! We have had a very busy last few days and now it’s finally over and we are relaxing at campJ It’s kinda boring, but at least we don’t have to worry about being anywhere at any certain timeJ Hooray!! But, of course, all good things must come to an endL Tonight, we have to get Lexie all set for her field trip to Mackinac CityJ She has to be at school by 6:30 a.m. so that means I have to leave early for workL Bummer - gonna lose ½ hour of sleep:*( She won’t be back at the school until about 8 p.m.
Well, the dance revue was a great successJ Lexie got lots of compliments!! Our friend, Phil, said she was so fun to watch, he watched her instead of his own daughter!! That’s pretty funny!! She thoroughly enjoyed herself and can’t wait until next year. I’m so glad I finally signed her up - I really wish I had done it years agoJ Most of the pics were pretty dark, but I will see if I can get some nice ones to post.
Lexie is busy taking pictures on her camera so I will have to check that, too for some for the blog. We are having hot dogs on the fireJ We brought some nice healthy snacks - veggies & dip as well as cantaloupe. Naturally, we had to bring chips and cookies, tooJ Kaylie took a long walk (or run) and came back to camp pretty dirty!!
Kyra, naturally, hasn’t left Jason’s side.
I’m so tiredL I’m thinking about taking a walk, but I might just wait until after we get home as we won’t be staying here too long since both Lexie & Taylor have to get ready for their field trip.
Brett is playing Legos with Taylor. They did go out & shoot their guns with their daddies & grandpa. I did take a few pictures of thatJ
Ok, well, I gotta go as we are getting ready for dinnerJ Talk at ya later!!!
Have a fantastic day!!

Saturday, May 14th
Well, today is the day!!! Lexie has her first dance revue todayJ She has 2 shows @ 1 p.m. & 6 p.m. We have tickets to the 6 p.m. show, so I am kinda nervous/sad that I am not going to be there for both showsL I’m sure she will be fine, but I just feel like I need to be there. I was at the dress rehearsal last night & that was greatJ I thought she might be alittle nervous, but she wasn’tJ She was hopping around having a good ole timeJ That’s my girl;) Her group dances in 2 numbers and the finale. They dance to Shake, Rattle, & Roll and Hand JiveJ She absolutely loves the Hand JiveJ I will take some pics of her in her costume and post themJ
In other news, Brett is helping his daddy put new hardwood floor in at Grandma Wanda’s. At least, I hope he is helpingJ I’m really hoping he’s being helpful & not in the way. Grandpa can’t get down on his knees so he’s going to be cutting the pieces while Jason lays them downJ
Well, with the dance revue, we’ve had a very busy week!! Thursday night, Lexie had stage lessons from 6:15-9:15. It was a late night - poor Brett was super tired. Then, last night, we had dress rehearsal from 5:30-9. So the show is about 3 hours long. I’m really very proud of herJ It’s harder for her since this is her first year and the other girls have been in dance together since they were 3 or 4! She’s doing very well & she LOVES it!! She told me last night that she had lots of fun and wants to be in dance again next yearJ I told her I figured & already paid her registration for next yearJ
It took a lot of thought, but we’ve decided not to participate in soccer this yearL Brett didn’t want to play by the end of last year, so he wasn’t going to play this year. Lexie wants to play soccer & softball, but I told her it’s just way too much runningL Besides, after the whole school year running back & forth for dance, we need a breakJ I’m sure she will be involved in somethingJ She always finds somethingJ

Some Easter pics:)
Morgan, Lexie, Brett & the back of Taylor's head - coloring eggs @ Grandmas
This is serious business:)
Does he look bored to you?? He really wasn't!!
Look at those beauties:)
Lexie on her new skateboard:)
Oops!! It got away from her:( Don't worry, she's ok:)
Oh, now it's daddy's turn to try!! Don't break it!!!
Brett's making chocolate eggs - he loved it!!
Well, it's May already!!
The kids only have a couple more weeks left of school!!! Wow!
Today, Brett has a field trip to 4 undisclosed places in Delta County. Yep, I have no idea where he's going:( All I know is that they will be doing things outside - at least it's a nice enough day for that:)
Lexie has her field trip to Mackinac City on the 16th and their last day of school is the 26th which is Brett's birthday:)
We've been keeping pretty busy - Jason is still finishing up the trim in my new office:) The livingroom is all finished:) It looks super!! I just need a rug and some new blinds. Oh, and Jason has to hang up my pictures:) I do have to get new frames for the kids' pics but most of them are going up in the hallway - my portrait gallery, if you will:)
I have been doing a lot of walking and occasionally, one or both of the kids come with me:) Yesterday, it was Brett:) We took the dogs and went down the trail to the first stop sign which is about 2 1/4 miles round trip. Brett was super tired by the time we turned around:) I just laughed at him since the dogs and I had already walked this earlier:) So, I walked about 4 1/2 miles yesterday:) I usually only do 3, but I want to start adding on more and more:) We (Brett, Lexie, and I) are doing a 5K run/walk on Saturday. Naturally, I will be walking. I wish I could run as I do enjoy it, but since I twisted my knee, it's not easy to run:( I need to wear a knee brace when I walk or it swells up:( Oh, not to mention my ankle that gives out on me on occasion:( Unfortunately running is not an option for me:(
I think that's about it - oh, I just want to let everyone know that Brett's grades are awesome right now:) Taking his video games away really worked:) He's getting his homework done without being told and he's turning things in EARLY which is so NOT my son!! I'm going on powerschool when I'm done here so I can see the update:) I think he's got all As right now:) Go, Brett!!! Lexie is there, too, as usual:)
I'm going to try to upload some pics here, but as I'm at the library, I'm not sure if I can, so sorry if it doesn't work, I will have to try later at home:)
