<br />
Life happenings:<br />
I'm healed up from my hysterectomy...got the thumbs up from the Doc!<br />
I found out that I may have to have my thyroid removed due to 2 nodules in them.<br />
Biopsy was inconclusive...but the right nodule is massive and takes up the whole lobe.<br />
Leia and Beren are both learning to drive.<br />
Leia gets her license next month and Beren just got his permit.<br />
Tess and Seth are do well...growing like weeds and so is Lily. <br />
She goes to Preschool 2 days a week and is sooo smart.<br />
<br />
Greg has been gone a lot and this is one of the many reasons I don't have time<br />
to get in here to post. He's been gone 3 weeks this month to Ft. Knox, Atlanta, and Miami. It's really hard trying to heal up when he is gone this much...but I made it.<br />
Now to get ready for the next operation.mommamikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15228762608997928209noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080055871173381449.post-57804346807386006362010-01-21T11:22:00.003-06:002010-03-31T14:44:57.490-05:00'bout time I get back to this blog...It's been a crazy year for 2009!<br />
<br />
Winter '09:<br />
Greg gone a lot!<br />
Lots and Lots of snow!<br />
<br />
Spring '09:<br />
Again just super busy with kids and life...<br />
<br />
Summer:<br />
Greg was gone a lot!<br />
Swimming Lessons for Lily.<br />
Swim Team for Tess and Seth.<br />
Summer School for both Seth and Tess.<br />
Lily started Preschool.<br />
<br />
Fall is always busy for us:<br />
3 kids in Sporting events.<br />
School starting<br />
Both Beren and Leia learning to drive!<br />
<br />
We all got very sick with H1N1 and other viruses!<br />
<br />
Went to Kentucky for Thanksgiving. We haven't' had a road trip in years. And boy was it a doozie! Took 12 hours to get there...all 7 of us packed into a Dodge Caravan! We had a fabulous time visiting Greg's family! <br />
<br />
I started a new business for myself:<a href="http://premierdesigns.com/"> Premier Designs Jewelry </a><br />
I'm a jewelry for this fabulous company. Make sure you check it out.<br />
<br />
Now we're in 2010: <br />
Started the New Year with Surgery! UGH! A hysterectomy!<br />
So now I have some time while I heal to update my blogs.<br />
<br />
I started a new blog that will house all my scrapbooking layouts.<br />
Check it out: <br />

We did this last year too. So much fun seeing all of our friends! Sadly tho, Lily and I stayed home as I was fearful that she would get lost in the massive crowds during the game. Solon always has a huge turn out for homecoming.<br /><br />Anyway, while Greg was there he stayed with our friends Allen and Keela Harrington. Allen gave Greg a CD he made that has tons of pictures of our boys together at scouting events, birthday party's, and other outings. And as I was looking through the photos last night. I got a kick out of how much the boys have changed. Some of these photos dated back 3 years ago. And as I was looking through them I stumbled upon 4 videos. Allen took them during our last visit to Solon, October 2007. The weather was unusually warm and we all hung out by their pool. I was so thrilled to see them that I just had to share them with you all too.<br /><br />Mostly of Lily...she's a year and half old. Seems like that was ages ago. She has changed sooo much. <br /><br />Thanks Allen and Keela for the special memories and for hosting my family once again! Love you guys!<br /> <br /><br /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="370" id="viddler_fa4b2952"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/player/fa4b2952/" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/fa4b2952/" width="437" height="370" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler_fa4b2952" ></embed></object>mommamikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15228762608997928209noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080055871173381449.post-53409599946789300202008-09-28T20:42:00.001-05:002009-01-07T21:10:18.936-06:00Week 4: 30 pages in 30 days<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNiSXcDKpAVRhGB4dskmenUKLD9WibcSolxHJj1F5ASbj27ArSBf1CYHYUjiKJ-0QKfD_bhq66ZnQeZGQ4LvWqJrswoy7ODG6LIG5DMGZlshyphenhyphen-FWhWJY32vAGNWuBcjGzLsAi6uGkI_n2C/s1600-h/mygarden-01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251995633210236946" style="" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNiSXcDKpAVRhGB4dskmenUKLD9WibcSolxHJj1F5ASbj27ArSBf1CYHYUjiKJ-0QKfD_bhq66ZnQeZGQ4LvWqJrswoy7ODG6LIG5DMGZlshyphenhyphen-FWhWJY32vAGNWuBcjGzLsAi6uGkI_n2C/s400/mygarden-01.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Page 1.<br />My BIG garden on Solon!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjib8-A5bXRrErmFvwAt76fikWe7WSfAB94Ny_kmzKTlRzjhLfrtXoOFlmo00_HQBI5BfdsIkQ5yXBH0IiKprvHMBTXn5LVxmwbP055w5E4jR_PwGlR65DhwyIMD_Yr6dF1JJ1T0qUGZ2m0/s1600-h/mygarden-02.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251995645454414962" style="" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjib8-A5bXRrErmFvwAt76fikWe7WSfAB94Ny_kmzKTlRzjhLfrtXoOFlmo00_HQBI5BfdsIkQ5yXBH0IiKprvHMBTXn5LVxmwbP055w5E4jR_PwGlR65DhwyIMD_Yr6dF1JJ1T0qUGZ2m0/s400/mygarden-02.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Page 2 of My Garden<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVifmBQc0Ce46GIdjTCPMxODmqBmGCGDH2a7qM1dL78hLoSdR4NWzBuYy7zs9eeHSrvsyTYSMLWQTPHvSaR8KlK2W2F3OaUJIXgT1ysNMDGBlhKz2UerHEchIk9tXaknrlqqqbJ0kcMIFU/s1600-h/seagulls.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251995651273518482" style="" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVifmBQc0Ce46GIdjTCPMxODmqBmGCGDH2a7qM1dL78hLoSdR4NWzBuYy7zs9eeHSrvsyTYSMLWQTPHvSaR8KlK2W2F3OaUJIXgT1ysNMDGBlhKz2UerHEchIk9tXaknrlqqqbJ0kcMIFU/s400/seagulls.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Seagulls in Iowa?

She's really good at it and we've decided to let her have weekly lessons this school year.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUPzzIMa9-Pco4u-HTVfgpllYmttnPyFYBorAvao3lhziA2kt-5HYUWJQn7ZYLJxUhNjvzjrh1ruGW8kImG76yYt9KuiWVRAEj1ZzKTDaKNGh42-C2HdSDetb4rz-sU8gczQcITORBfyJy/s1600-h/rhythm-and-music.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233652586537093010" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUPzzIMa9-Pco4u-HTVfgpllYmttnPyFYBorAvao3lhziA2kt-5HYUWJQn7ZYLJxUhNjvzjrh1ruGW8kImG76yYt9KuiWVRAEj1ZzKTDaKNGh42-C2HdSDetb4rz-sU8gczQcITORBfyJy/s400/rhythm-and-music.jpg" border="0" /></a>mommamikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15228762608997928209noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080055871173381449.post-91054333970805524082008-08-11T10:13:00.000-05:002008-08-12T10:19:18.535-05:00It's my Party and I cry if I want to!Well I sure do feel like crying!

She got the job she wanted. Well kinda...<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Britton</span> will be working at a Famous <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Restaurant</span> in Portland called Mother's Bistro and Bar.<br /><br />Visit the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">restaurant's</span> website here: <a href="http://www.mothersbistro.com/">Mother's</a><br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Britton</span> applied for a line-cooks position. After the interview she <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">received</span> a call from Lisa the owner/chef with a new position. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Britton</span> will be the test cook for Lisa's new cookbook...she also will be a substitute for anyone that calls in sick or has the day off. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Britton</span> really doesn't know how she feels about this new position..she's a little nervous. She said she really wanted to be a line cook...But I know she will do fine and learn alot. I gotta feeling she will slip into another postition once it comes open. But in the mean time she will learn all the ends and outs of this place.<br /><br />Now for info on this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">restaurant</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Britton</span> is such a lucky...no blessed girl to get a job a Mother's. Lisa Schroeder owns 2 <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">restaurant</span> in Portland...they're side by side. One is called Mother's and the other one Momma Mia's! So <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Britton</span> will probably work at both of them as she is needed to fill in for others. As you check out the website notice that they have served many famous people. Read the info about it here: <a href="http://www.lisaschroeder.com/blog/HOME/HOME.html">Chef's Blog</a><br /><br />Also some famous Chef's come into the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">restaurant</span> too. While <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Britton</span> was doing her working interview <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/cat_cora/article/0,1974,FOOD_9790_1670882,00.html">Cat Cora</a> from Iron Chef dropped by for a visit in the kitchen. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Britton</span> doesn't watch TV so she really didn't know who she was...funny huh? One of the guys she was working with had to tell <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Britton</span> who Cat was! What a girl!<br /><br />So here is a video of the opening of Momma Mia's and Chef Lisa Schroeder. Lisa has her own <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Youtube</span> show called Chef Cam...so maybe one day we might see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Britton</span> in one of her videos!<br /><br />Check it out here:<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLSxb20Dlt4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLSxb20Dlt4</a><br /><br />Good Luck my girl...Mama's always praying for you!mommamikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15228762608997928209noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080055871173381449.post-82674184654729502542008-08-09T13:12:00.004-05:002009-01-07T21:09:45.055-06:00More scrapbook pages...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja9X1pTGbVIEdYl_zhC6NHSI99BkRqHkZ91iyoYXeBO3lbmaPiiQ_6sujOdsq1xafRJVRg1n0xidaXsV-rTYmAzlYuX_w9dfKpXQb0mzZWvcXSnjDLkvJFd6sxEHe5ZUJag-NoONEgg3Tf/s1600-h/boocrew.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232583376631182850" style="" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja9X1pTGbVIEdYl_zhC6NHSI99BkRqHkZ91iyoYXeBO3lbmaPiiQ_6sujOdsq1xafRJVRg1n0xidaXsV-rTYmAzlYuX_w9dfKpXQb0mzZWvcXSnjDLkvJFd6sxEHe5ZUJag-NoONEgg3Tf/s400/boocrew.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />It's the BOO CREW!

Matt and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Britton</span> were with us for 3 days and left this morning for Portland, Oregon! We'll miss the old girl ! It's gonna be strange not having her close by us. Iowa City was only 3 hour drive from us....now she a 1,900 miles away! She is definitely "On her Own" now!<br /><br />Greg and I have all the confidence in the world that she will do well and success at whatever she puts her hands to. She wants to start her own Soap and Shampoo Company but first she will look for another kitchen position. She was told that restaurants on the West Coast love hiring hardworking Mid Westerns! And she is a very hard worker....they'll be lucky to get her!<br /><br />Matt has a lot of connections in Portland...he use to live there about 3 years ago. Matt will do well there as he too is a hard worker! Not sure what field he will go into...he is a very talented Graphic Artist, has worked in the Food industry and built some websites too! Whatever Matt does he will do well!<br /><br />They both love the simple life...they don't live above their means and live a life as what they refer to as a Self-staining lifestyle. Meaning the live as green as they can...don't buy more then they can offered and try to do everything as natural as they can. Neither own a car and prefer to ride bikes. By the way both are in great physical shape...Matt rides about 50 to 60 miles for exercise every day! This doesn't include riding to and from work <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">everyday</span> either. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Britton</span> rides more for pleasure and for transportation to and from work too.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdwDS1Qp3frxCzEBvBALn-m_OPVfNsr3iaNGCDgvlK8KY3HClL4Uzczrj-X729azXVOYxR3gvSKgm9WAD1kNBcHQvdzXmU6bE-hlm8RbWt_BsADRcQxJlV3Sf0L3GKcRFXXb-GiEKU7gaj/s1600-h/07+22+08_1017.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227086495708038962" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdwDS1Qp3frxCzEBvBALn-m_OPVfNsr3iaNGCDgvlK8KY3HClL4Uzczrj-X729azXVOYxR3gvSKgm9WAD1kNBcHQvdzXmU6bE-hlm8RbWt_BsADRcQxJlV3Sf0L3GKcRFXXb-GiEKU7gaj/s320/07+22+08_1017.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Matt and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Britton</span> have rented a moving truck and plan on taking 3 days to get to Oregon. Not sure how much sightseeing they plan on doing but they did say they were stopping in South Dakota and again in Montana. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Britton</span> has always wanted to see Montana. I hope she gets to see more then just a view from the truck.<br /><br />They also have their crazy cat with them...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Britton</span> said she cried for hours on the way up here. Hopefully she calmed down for them.<br /><br />They're off to the BIGGEST ADVENTURE of they're lifetime!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuLXraDJeRqSt_nsK0xXSupJYbCH2ISTo9KB3FkBdLNvBVLgaHG-LGXNCV4KlnAUHludOI7rNUw8KA4eLzI5lUpprdBkUsjeVN4MOjr42Cyh0yf6nKGMqJv8vdbAiOKZmG3nVcYYcNGDfn/s1600-h/07+22+08_1018.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227086487310408610" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuLXraDJeRqSt_nsK0xXSupJYbCH2ISTo9KB3FkBdLNvBVLgaHG-LGXNCV4KlnAUHludOI7rNUw8KA4eLzI5lUpprdBkUsjeVN4MOjr42Cyh0yf6nKGMqJv8vdbAiOKZmG3nVcYYcNGDfn/s320/07+22+08_1018.JPG" border="0" /></a>mommamikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15228762608997928209noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080055871173381449.post-49360009773143718432008-07-24T20:04:00.005-05:002008-07-25T20:35:16.226-05:00Imagine having this for Dinner!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFTFuCGhhNboTRvZPMW6PXzDxEfBB4veoG9cEz-K4Bv_3kEyeWwnT1E_-WZnzYgAiG2ed5EQBizWtN-E_4H1yS5P0qXKTGiEyPNqKXjk_mmTqKjU-q1rSz4L6ki_71-jBSeTRntX04moJS/s1600-h/07+24+08_0995.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227129421601926018" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFTFuCGhhNboTRvZPMW6PXzDxEfBB4veoG9cEz-K4Bv_3kEyeWwnT1E_-WZnzYgAiG2ed5EQBizWtN-E_4H1yS5P0qXKTGiEyPNqKXjk_mmTqKjU-q1rSz4L6ki_71-jBSeTRntX04moJS/s400/07+24+08_0995.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpQe9yC1gNzDk2txNLItvjLf3pkFEj0uNnRhzQSKjRlERG96xDWaywe9IbHDqyioI6h8zHgNQiQ-xTNXoKRJgAhLLYOAKH5FJfVq1lIGZwTqAD4yYeFOHKmu0w1AwQ8ihwHhv7K1aXFRDS/s1600-h/07+24+08_0995.JPG"></a><br /><br />This is what I had for dinner last night...guess where? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia6mhWkQQaRlYzgp4cJ-lHa3dnxkQ6V4Vg3E6P84ppOlICkxnAdwIzHmpnn_pP3UyTkmm0jNa3lGq6J-hV-_S_8LRofFgbi3o5TosQmUIojhjqbJLJYoOfkjlyWFlAOxsRC6mmhtkKcgAO/s1600-h/07+24+08_0993_edited-1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227129272176289314" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia6mhWkQQaRlYzgp4cJ-lHa3dnxkQ6V4Vg3E6P84ppOlICkxnAdwIzHmpnn_pP3UyTkmm0jNa3lGq6J-hV-_S_8LRofFgbi3o5TosQmUIojhjqbJLJYoOfkjlyWFlAOxsRC6mmhtkKcgAO/s320/07+24+08_0993_edited-1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />At my house!
