Hawkeyes!

Tom and I are sitting here relaxing watching the Iowa games, right now they are winning and it's a pretty good game. Mom, Dad and Grandma stopped out on there way to Andy and Bill's, they were going there for supper, so they stopped and had a drink. It's always nice to have company.

I haven't blogged in a while so I don't really know where to start. There is not much going on in our lives right now other than work and church, just kidding, but we are going to church tomorrow morning so I had to throw that in there.

Tom kind of had a stressful week, Micayla was in a car accident on Wednesday and Brandon was in trouble at school for riding his bike, after school hours, on the schools property. Since when is it a crime to ride bikes on school grounds, don't understand it, but I guess Brandon and his friends were asked to not ride and the boys, of course, mouthed back to the teacher that was confronting them. You know how their attitudes are. They really need to learn to respect adults! It drives me crazy how they talk to there Grandparents and even us as parents. I would never talk back like the way kids do now, we would get slapped or spanked. But I think that's what the problem is no one can do that to there kids now, they get away with a lot of things. It scares me since I'm trying to become a mother myself and I think to myself sometimes, do I want to bring a child into this world? Of course I do, but its something I've definitely thought of, but I can't think of my life without even trying. And trying we are doing!

Oh, back to Micayla's accidents, it was just a little fender bender, however it was her fault, failure to yield, and a $190 or so fine :( We're not sure if she's going to lose her license or not, this is now her 2nd violation in less than 2 months so I'm expecting something in the mail in the next couple of weeks. If she don't lose her license she may be on "probation" which means she can not have anyone in the car with her and she can not be driving past 10:00 at night. More to follow on that once we hear.

Today I took my first Fababs class at Jazzercise. One of our own was teaching it so I went to it, for free, thanks to being an Instructor, and my abs are getting tighter as I'm sitting here typing away and Tom's snoozin on the couch, LOL After class I picked up Brandon from the bowling alley and came home to get some house work done. I have been wanting to tackle our bedroom closet so I did and it's a good job done. I put all our summer stuff away, all except a few things because I might need some when I go to Disneyland. Not sure what the weather is going to be like but I know it will be nothing like Iowa, so I hope to get to wear some shorts in Cali.. I can't wait, only 1 month away.

Tom and I picked our last tomatoes out of our garden the other day and today they look perfect! Our tomatoes did not grow the best but the last few look delicious. So I said we have to use these tomatoes today so we are going to make Fresh Tomato Flatbread. Here's the link http://www.mrfood.com/Pizza/Fresh-Tomato-Flatbread# it looks super good. I will have to blog about it tomorrow. We are going to add a little cilantro since we have some from when Micayla needed it for her dinner she cooked us.

I have a cinnamon stick in hot water over the stove and it smells delicious. I'm having a glass of Stone Cliff Wine, Apple Spice, and I heated it up so it taste like hot apple cider with a kick. Yummy!

Tomorrow is Lexi's birthday so we are going over to her house for a little birthday party. I have to find something yet for her. But I'm not too worried, girls are so easy to buy for.
