Summer Almost Here

It has finally started warming up here. I'm hoping it will continue to stay warm.

I had my first final on Friday and received an 80. I'm still waiting on the official grade, but I'm not concerned with the grade. I will have my Health final this Friday and then I will be done! Summer will official begin for me!!!!!! Mom's already done with school. I still don't think it's very fair that I started school before her and had less of a holiday break. Jordann and Whitney I guess are on summer break....I never know, they make up their own vacations! Megan doesn't get out of class until June and she is crazy enough to take summer classes! I hope she enjoys working hard on her classes while I'm locked out of the school website!!!!!! I am excited that next year will be my final year of high school!

Mother's Day

This Mother's Day we had our grandparents over for the day for dinner and dessert. I would have posted the pictures of dinner, but once it hits the table, it's gone. Jordann was instructed by Megan to make a card and give her the gifts. One problem: nobody knew what "we" were giving to Mom because Megan went shopping by herself. So once Jordann made the card, Megan made sure her name was the biggest on the card! Jordann wasn't too thrilled about that! Oh, the drama!!!!!! I made sure to stay in the kitchen and cook dinner!
Oh, and for dinner we had:
Chicken Roll-Ups with gravy
Frog's Eye Salad
Yams with marshmallows, brown sugar, and butter
Sugar Free Cheesecake and Cherries
The only thing we didn't have leftovers was the chicken roll-ups. The next thing I expect to be gone: Frog's Eye Salad. I think Jordann and Whitney are already on their 2nd serving for the day!

This is the card Jordann made. The inside reads:
Happy Mother's Day!
Thank-you for being the best mom children could wish for!
Even when we can be a pain, you're still wonderful! You're very talented because you deal with school, us, Dad, and occasionally dinner. And Grandma!
This whole day is for you, to celebrate what a wonderful mom you are! We all love you very much, even if we don't show it.
Love your Daughters,
Megan (huge name with heart) Jordann, Whitney (practicing her cursive), and Shelby.
Grandma wanted to know what the "And Grandma!" thing meant!!!!

What's Going on.....

Mom has been busy this week and over the weekend getting ready for her finals. She will be done next week! I'm excited that she will now have goofy Jordann and bossy Whitney to watch!!!!! Of course, she will probably find some way to make sure I will have days I have to watch them:). Whitney is excited to have mom home, especially on Tuesdays. She despises having to go to guitar practice with Jordann and I. I don't know what I'll do without her staring at me for the whole hour!!!! Although, I think she secretly enjoys listening to Jordann be sarcastic to our teacher because she seems to be copying Jordann.

I will have my biology B final next week and then a week later I will have my health final. I'm excited that I will have a whole summer off! I just hope that it starts warming up. It looks like we are not going to be having a hot summer, although that may be a good thing if Demon keeps chewing the A.C. wire outside! A few days of no air teaches you how lucky you are to have air!

Speaking of Demon......he's not too happy with the weather constantly changing either. He gets quite mad when we take the pool away because of the rain. We have noticed that the older he gets, the more and more he "talks" (howls) at us.
