Full

I have been pondering - watching my kids and trying to imagine what they will be when they grow up. I'm betting on Brandon following thru with Vet school or at least something with animals but Blake has me stumped- he just about has his hands in everything. I definately see him as a person who works for himself because he hates people to "tell him what to do". He'd much rather do it his way. And he'll probably be putting something together whether it's a house, an electronic item, a motorcycle...something. Alex might be a little of the same with regards to independence. However, she'll figure out how to get what she wants, being a female and a cute one at that so- she'd probably be happy as an employee but only if she's making enough to support her expensive habits like her daddys...the "gotta have it cuz I want it habit." Brought me back to myself- what in the world did I want to be when I grew up??? I can't even remember. Maybe my mom knows what my ambitions were back then. Either way- I wouldn't change a thing. I couldn't be happier in my life. I have the best kids ever! A husband who loves me and makes me laugh all the time and lots of really great friends and family. I'd say my life is full. That's a good thing!

Family

Well- we have had a busy couple of weeks. Went to the Pond family reunion held at Greystone- the funny farm ;-)' It was pretty cool to see everyone and while we were there- we put together a family tree and passed it on to Sean to upload and eventually get a copy for each of us to hold on to. My mind gets ahead of me sometimes- always have lots of ideas but not ones that get done so bear with me- I was thinking- all those great stories you hear about your parents or grandparents that are so funny or interesting would be really neat to have in a family book. I remember shocking my boys when I told them my mom played the snare drum- I heard a bit more to that story this weekend from my Grandparents- a good laugh. I remember finding out one time that my mom could draw??? You get the idea-so- I thought it would be fun to send out a questionnaire or something to allow anyone who wanted to, to jot down some info about themselves or maybe a sibling or parent or whatever- that would be good to put in our family treasure book. ( Ooh this might be a good place to permanently place a family tree too) I might even be so kind as to compile the info into the book (and enlist others who are good with artwork or computers in general to help)- then we could let everyone buy a copy(since I am not a rich woman) and it would forever be something we could pass down from generation to generation. Mam Ma is always telling me to "write it down before you forget it" and this sounded like a great way to do it. Let me know your thoughts.
On another note- I am still toying with the idea of becoming a personal trainer-wish me luck- send comments
