The Last Lecture

I don't know if any of you have heard about this man or have seen him on TV, but I watched Primetime the other night with Diane Sawyer and the show was about this man Randy Pausch and he is a computer science professor and has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has been given 4-6 months to live. He has 3 small children under the age of 6 and he gave his last lecture and it has now been published into this book- AMAZING!! I am so inspired by this man and his outlook on life and this book is a book of lessons he wants his children to know about. It's a book for his kids to know him. I've cried and laughed and smiled while reading this book and if anyone is looking for anything inspiring to read this is a good one! One quote I really like is "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted." This book makes me want to cherish every moment and be grateful for every moment with my family. Life is too short!!!!!

Blogging update

I've been going through blogging withdrawls. My computer has been giving me problems and finally last night Shane spent all night trying to figure it out and YEAH now it's working. My girls have been off track for the past 3 weeks and we've tried to keep busy. I just wish the weather would have been a little warmer, but soon, I hope! We saw Horton Hears and Who and Nims Island, both I would recommend. They played with cousins had sleep overs at Nanny's (Shane's mom) house, went to Jazz games, went shopping, had art class, etc. They are good to help around the house and for the most part play good with each other.
Last weekend was my mom's birthday and she's 59. She's a little funny about her birthdays and so she planned her own party and my dad through in his own twist by hiring an Elvis personator for entertainment that night. It was a surprise for my mom and she was a good sport and it was fun. Happy Birthday Mom!!!
My girlfriend Ashley and her family are moving from our neighborhood and we are so sad!!! We had a luncheon here at my house this past week to say good bye to her. It was fun to hang out and chat with everyone that came. There's 5 of us that had baby girls all within weeks of each other and here's a picture of all the little girls now 1 year old. They are so darling and it was so cute to watch them walk around and jibber jabber at each other. I think all the little girls resemble the looks of their dads- what do you think Camile and Jen? I think they are so cute! Fun times ahead with these little ones! Here's a cute picture of Lexi with her little boyfriend Rayce. His mom is Ashley and they are moving and Lex is sad they won't have any more Jeep riding dates! Those two in their Jeeps are crazy!
The last picture is of my girls and myself with my mom and my Grandma- 4 generations. My Grandma is living at my moms house for a few weeks and every Monday my girls and I get to spend the afternoon with her while my mom is at work. Grandma is almost 90 and in pretty good shape! She has a great smile and sense of humor and it's been fun to spend time with her and for my kids to get to know her.
Life continues to plug along and with spring comes soccer games for Shelby and Sage and Lexi start t ball in a few weeks and we're excited to get outside and do yard work and spend time camping in our new trailer. Life is good- can't complain! I'm excited that a lot of my friends are starting to blog and I've made connections with old friends through blogging! YEAH!!!! I love this!
Oh ya and by the way for my brothers- I'm surprised that I didn't receive any congrats phone calls for taking 2nd place in our family NCAA tourney challenge! That's right- 2nd place out of 50 or so. Go KANSAS!!!!
