Wow, time goes by way to fast! I was happy that last season I won 3 different leagues and hope to repeat again this year. I had great teams last year and was only able to make it to one draft. I make a lot of trades to get my team built the way I like. We will see if it works again this year! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197495916894719918.post-85779595404190288482013-03-06T12:40:00.000-08:002013-03-06T12:40:55.364-08:00Grandma's HouseI was just thinking back to growing up and visiting my grandparents house. We went there often and I always remember seeing her keyboard piano. She loved to play that thing! It was the <a href="http://www.guitarcenter.com/Digital-Pianos-Keyboards---MIDI.gc">best keyboard piano</a> ever! I remember her letting us play with it and not even worrying about whether we would break it or not. It had so many options and as a kid it was like heaven to get to play with. It also gives me such good memories of growing up and visiting her home. These are the things we never forget! Such good times!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197495916894719918.post-67371578300130122852013-03-06T12:36:00.000-08:002013-03-06T12:38:30.613-08:00Basketball Season!I know football season comes first, but I can't wait for basketball! All the trades and draft excitment get me pumped for the season to start. The local University here has a great team as well and it will be fun to see how they do again this season. last year was a bit down but the new recruits and red shirt players are going to be soo good!

It was a template where you could basically just drag pictures around and put captions under them. Now, they make it so much easier with great resources like <a href="http://imcreator.com/">IM creator</a>. It is almost laughable how bad my first site was and how much better I can make them now. It isn't even like I know much about building the sites either, it's just that they make it so easy to do now. I am currently trying to think about how I can make a site for our cookie and cake decorating business. might not be elementary, but it is about as close as it gets now with all the help!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197495916894719918.post-46052564235614949682012-08-22T09:54:00.000-07:002012-08-22T09:55:10.646-07:00Vacation TimeLast week we went on vacation to be apart of a wedding.

Our office recently went through this whole process and it was daunting. There are pluses and negatives to all of the options. Do you want windows or are you an apple business? What type of touch screen do you want? What size do you prefer? So many questions and I am not sure you can really go wrong. The <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"><strong><a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=Tablet-PC&product=1716102">black berry tablet</a>> <strong>is one nice option that you should look into.

He is engaged and amazed at all the talent in the olympics. Not to mention all the cool sports that we never usually get to see. Gymanstics seems to be our favorite. He makes it clear that the girls are much better than the guys, which I tend to agree with after watching both perform over the weekend. It has been fun to watch and we can't wait to watch some more tonight!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197495916894719918.post-89277558433616356282012-07-30T06:51:00.000-07:002012-07-30T06:51:05.245-07:00Summer Swimming!So, our neighbors got a pool recently. We have little kids so it is a bit scary to let them be around pools. I keep a very close eye on them at this age. I wouldn't even know where to go to find out all the details for getting the right swimming pool equipment. I guess I would start at some place like <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"><strong><a href="http://www.poolsupplyunlimited.com/products/ZodiacJandyAqualinkRS/259">jandy aqualink</a></strong> and do some research on what to get and what I would need.

I don't know much about them but I know I have seen some very nice Harley Davidson's lately and was thinking to myself, "why don't they fix that bike? They are so expensive, you should upkeep them so you can drive it!" Well, maybe it is a matter of knowing where to get <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"><strong><a href="http://www.leatherup.com/l/Harley-Davidson-Parts/3015.html">harley davidson motorcycle parts</a></strong>.

The last time I got a gift for my spouse, I got a plant and it was appreciated way more than any of the flowers I have gotten. And, it lasted a long time.

I can't believe it! And I can't believe how he isn't the best swimmer anymore. I thought he would be even better but he didn't even medal in his first race and got silver (his first silver ever) in his second.
