Halloween Costume?

We were having a hard time deciding what costume Alivia would wear. We decided, for purpose of keeping warm, to go with the bumble bee!!

Hannah, after having 3 different costumes, has chosen to be a witch! Going to be a fun Halloween this year! First trick or treat together!!

A day off of school!!

Hannah and Adia had the day off of school, and John and Alivia wanted to get out of the house! So Audra and I took them all to the pumpkin patch...we had a great day!! Hannah loves to see her cousin's, and she is super excited to play with auntie's new baby, when "it" is born. It was a beautiful day, until some one woke up the bee's and beatles! Here's some pics!

Progress Report

Well, I am starting my third week of college now! Yeah for me! I was getting a PERFECT score in both my classes until yesterday. I missed one little attachment and lost 3 points!! (so mad!) So I was pretty upset. Then I started laughing! When I was in high school I was excited if I GOT 3 points; what a difference!! I wonder what high school would have been like if I had put this much effort into my work! I might have turned out to be almost as smart as Audra! What a thought!
So yeah, I figure 3 points out of a total of about 200 isn't too big of a deal, but I don't plan to miss those points again. It really does a lot for your self esteem when you do well in school. Boy oh boy if I known that in high school things would have been different too! I guess mom and dad were right about ONE thing. With age comes knowledge. I am a little behind, but I am getting there!
I think I am starting my college career on a pretty good foot though. This is the first time I have ever gotten straight A's! Even though I missed those 3 points I still have an A in my class. I wonder if daddy will give me a dollar for each "A" like he did when we were little. Heck with inflation that must be about 20 bucks now!! HEE HEE
Later gators!

Just in case anyone is interested in an online school this is the name and contact info. for my student advisor....Even if you just have questions I am sure he would be happy to help. And don't worry he isn't pushy!!

I rock at college!!!

Well, I have completed my first week of college. I am currently taking 2 classes. I am getting a 100% in one class, and I am pretty sure I am doing well in my other class. I have not received my grade in that class yet. I am really excited!! I would suggest The University of Phoenix online to anyone that wanted to go back to school but couldn't attend an on campus school. You get one on one time with your instructors, and you get a whole team of people to help you succeed. They are your Graduation Team!! The leader of that team is your student advisor. I lucked out and got the best one they have!! ( In my opinion) He calls me to make sure that I am doing well, he responds to my emails quickly and has shown me that he has a genuine interest in my success. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with this school.
Well I better go so I can finish my home work!! hee hee
