My girls call it burzen! Half Burrr and half Freezing!
We like the word and we use it all the time. It works real
well for the negative degrees we are having today.
Needless to say Benji is not going snowboarding today
and Emily is not going with church ice skating.
The girls are inside doing crafts with friends over &
Benji is at a local church (not Westwood) for a day of
battle of the bands. Pete and I are reading. I think I will
bake some brownies or something....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICKI!!!
Stay warm.
Peace.

More Christmas
I took Benji out yesterday and he used his Christmas money
to buy a new snowboard! Now he has a new full set.
The board, the bindings and the boots.
He is VERY happy with his purchase and can't wait
to get to Highland. Maybe this week end if it's not to cold.
Enough about Benji....
On to ME! I have a brand new Sue-do!
It is pretty dark but I really like it.
It will be fun to wash it and "do" it tomorrow.
Thanks Susan! Wonderful job as always!
Lots to do... Gotta go pick Benji up
and get back here to make some dinner!
Love to all who read!

It's been a while!
Well, I guess I am not a very good blogger!
December, Christmas and New Years Eve have come and gone.
Here are a few shots from Christmas Morning.
Emily with her new Rock Band game!
Amanda in her new chair with her DS!
Benji with his new video ipod!
Christmas was wonderful!
New Years Eve at the Hilton for the Miracle of Mitch Foundation
with all of us was a blast for all (except Benji, he ended up in the
room with the stomach flu! YUCK! Poor guy.)
As for 2008 for the Bakers...
Emily made it to advanced 2 in gymnastics,
even with a broken big toe.
(She is so happy, and mom and dad are very proud of her!)
I get to have another niece around the 6th of February!
(Thanks Michael & Kindra)
Pete & I will celebrate our 12th wedding Anniversary!
(I love you Pete!)
Pete's one year of no smoking Feb.23rd!
(Who's better than you?!)
Hopefully Spice will have her first litter of kittens
around the 25th of February.
(This is our 2nd try)
March 6th we are going to Mexico with Susan and our neighbors.
(WE CANT WAIT!!!)
My one year of no smoking March 16th.
(YEAH ME!!!)
End of April Pete and I are going to Las Vegas!
(I have never been there)
Also, at the end of April we will open the pool.
and that is where you will find me all summer!
(One of my favorite things to do)
My oldest niece will graduate from high school!
(Wow! I feel old!)
Emily will go back to Camp Ajawah for 2 weeks again this summer.
(She can't wait, she LOVED it last year!)
Both Emily & Amanda want to go to Gymnastics camp
at Lake Owen.....Who knows maybe Benji will do the skateboard
camp at he same time andI would have all 3 kids at the
same camp at the same time.
(You will find me by th pool that week for sure!)
Benji will turn 16 and get his drivers license.
(WOW! Now I really feel old!)
Then before you know it we will be going back to school shopping
and I'll have to close the pool and it will be the holidays all over again!
I am sure I have forgot a ton of important things.
Oh well, hopefully I will update more often and be adding to our
ever growing list of things we do in 2008.
Whatever it is you do this year, do your very best!
And make sure to Praise Him for all you have and all you are!
Peace out.

1st Big Snowfall!
The kid are very excited, it's starting to snow!
Here is Benji and Emily watching the
1st few flakes coming down.
These were taken at about 9am
These were taken at 11am
I will post more tomorrow.
They say we will get about 9 inches today,
two over night and maybe 1 or 2 tomorrow.
Peace.

No school again!
I think I would be better off doing home school!
It seems they are home more than even I was.
Anyway it's a nice cold sunny day here in Chanhassen.
The old "calm before the storm" We could get a foot of snow
tomorrow and I hope we do! I love the big snow storms,
I hate the cold but a bunch of snow is fun. If it has to be cold
at least we should have some snow on the ground.
Benji wants to go snowboarding so bad. And the girls want
to take lessons. I am not sure I want to take them to lessons
so I'll have to look into Saturdays for Pete to take them.
Ya, that sounds good and I'll stay home all by myself
and sit by the fire with a hot chocolate and read a book!
I think thats the ticket! Enjoy your day. TGIF!
Peace.

Monday again...
The weekends go way to fast! I just love the weekends!
I know I have said that before I just like no alarm clocks
and no home work. We kept busy with some last minute
yard stuff, putting up our Boy Scout wreath and swags,
tossing moldy pumpkins. The weather was yucky so we
did not put up any lights. I hope it does not get worse
next weekend or I'll never get Pete to hang them.
I also did some sewing on a borrowed machine. I made some
lounge pants for the kids out of fleece. It was fun and they think it's
cool that I made them. I am not a sewer AT ALL so this was a big
deal for me to do. I even asked Pete to get me a sewing machine for
Christmas. I think it will be fun to have one here and do
little projects with the kids. Even Benji was getting in to it.
Well, I gotta go get Amanda from her Brownie meeting now.
Have a great week and a Happy Thanksgiving if I don't blog
again by then. (Which I most likely will not since I will be hosting
25 or so people for Turkey day.)
What are you thankful for?
Peace!

TGIF
It has been a while I guess.
I am back on my own time zone and on my own computer!
It is VERY nice to be home. I came home to clean kids and
a clean house. Can't ask for more than that! Thanks again Susan!!!
Halloween was fun.
Here is Amanda and Emily
And here they are with some friends.
Amanda got her ears pierced, its so cute!
She is so happy and proud of her new earring's.
I'll have to take a picture and post it this week end.
Some of my neighborhood friends and I are going out
for a girls night out at Floyd's in Victoria. It should be
a good time. I am looking forward to it. And, now that
there is no smoking in Minnesota it will be smoke free inside.
I am so happy to not be smoking!
I was at the gym today and met with a new trainer (mine quit)
and we did a body age test on me and it said I was only 33!!!!
6 months ago I did the test and was 34 so at least I am
going in the right direction with something in my life.
Gotta go do more laundry and picking up around here
before the week end officially starts.
Love to all.
Peace.
