When I got home last night from work, Adam had taken the kids sledding. I thought I'd share some pictures.

Valentines Day

Adam and I went out on Friday night to celebrate Valentines Day so that we wouldn't be fighting crowds, and I think many others had the same plans. We pulled into Applebees and the parking lot was so full that there wasn't even one spot left. We decided to do good old Mc D's because I wasn't that hungry and we had a movie to get to. I was just as happy with my fries and McFlurry! ;o)
I woke up Valentines Day to breakfast in bed (French toast and bacon..just like I had jokingly asked for) and a new diamond ring!!! Adam did very well this year!!It is white gold with five small diamonds, one for each of us. It is 1/3 cwt. Nice!!Papa sent Autumn a special Valentine this year. She received a sterling silver necklace with an "A" on it, along with some earrings that are Mother of Pearl. I think Autumn and I scored again this year!!
Adam took Ayden snowboarding during the day. He finally had all of his work turned in at school, so they tried a new ski resort. This one is off base and across town. Ayden loved it because there is more stuff to do tricks on. He is now doing the half pipe and grinding on tabletops and such. As Mommy I just can't watch!!I am very proud of him though ;o)!!

Getting caught up

Don't worry, I haven't fell off the Earth and the volcano still hasn't erupted yet! We have just been so busy that I haven't had time to blog...so I will try to get you all caught up. Work is going well...very busy! I still enjoy it, but there are days when I get home that I feel like I have been hit by a truck! Who knew putting numbers into a computer would leave you so drained?!! ;o)
I also got Austin a job where I work. We have people in a Liberty costume out waving to people driving by. I thought it would be a great job for him!! And although it gets cold, he seems to be doing alright. I would of killed for a job that pays $9/hr when I was sixteen!!! I remember that I was his age when minimum wage got raised to $5/hr!!! I was waiting tables for $1.80 hour plus tips....I made good money because of the tips, but to think about the hourly wage is crazy!!!
Autumn and Ayden are both doing well. Ayden is turning into quite the snowboarder. Last weekend, he was brave enough to try the half-pipe and grinded on a table top!! I can't watch..the mommy in me wants to have a heart attack!! He is so much like his daddy this way!!
Adam just tested for Master Sgt, so I guess in a few months we will see how that went. He is also joining me at Wayland Baptist to finish his degree! Yeah!! The younger two think it is so great that mommy and daddy are going to school also.
I went on an interview yesterday for a city job for the summer. It is for a Recreation Leader through Parks and Rec. I would be supervising a day-camp that revolves around an environmental curriculum. They call it Wetlands, Wildlands, and Woodlands. It sounds fun and could open some doors for a more permanent city job. I should know for sure in a month..they told me that if I haven't heard anything by that time to call them and got the wink-wink. So I am sure things went really well. They were impressed with my experience working with kids (last four years of work/coaching soccer/coaching cheer leading/girl scouts).
Well, I think you all are caught up on the Koehler household lately.
