Yellow

On the way to the spring sing for FCA last night (of which the boys did an amazing job and which pictures with be fourth comming) the boys spotted this truck. They pointed out the obvious thing wrong. Can you see the problem?

Excursion

There is a reason I drive a vehicle with room for 9. This is a picture of a typical Monday after school. I usually give rides home to 3 different kids, in addition to my 4. So thankful for a big SUV that I can afford to put gas in!

Period 3, Week 3

With the 2 meetings we had this week, it was all kind of a blur. I did run $16,250 on a $15, 426 plan. Stales were too many to count ($805 if you wanted to know). This is the weekend display at Albertsons 862 using Tostitos and dip. Even got green signs put up for St. Patricks Day!

Boys on the Side

It was a great time last night helping at the middle school dance over at FCA. Jen had a wonderful time chatting with her students, taking pictures, and dancing with her date. Here she is in the middle of all her 8th grade boys. Hard to believe our oldest son will be attending this dance next year!

Neat!

Saw this sticker (not the Rams one, the other one) heading south on College Ave. this morning. It just happened to be in the same place I saw the other one several days ago. It is two Obama logos followed by an "ps". Awesome. OOPS.

Palin 2012

Seen on a car headed southbound on College Ave. today. The best part was he had Laramie, WY license plates. Keep the change??

Swim Party

As promised, here are the rest of the pictures from the swim party up in Wellington with Aaron and Sarah. It was so much fun hanging out with them last week. The kids are already asking when the next time is that we can go swim and sit in the hot tub. The home made pizza was also a big hit. Thanks guys!

The Birds!!

No, no, no, not that great classic movie from all those years ago. The birds are the newest addition to the Roth family. One of the employees at a gas station I service was trying to get rid of 2 cockatiels. Since Andrew had been asking for a pet of his own for awhile, I told her we would take them.

Snowball and Peanut Butter have been a great addition to the family. Andrew has done a great job taking care of them. He has been very responsible at changing their water daily, feeding them, and cleaning their cage (with a little help from mom). He read that they need 11 hours of sleep a night, so he also wakes them up in the morning, and puts them to bed at night. What a cute kid. The boy bird is kind of a meanie, but the girl is very friendly. It has also been some great mom-son bonding time in the evenings, when they get Snowball out to play.

SPAM!

So it has come to this: Spam and stale chips for dinner. No, not really. Andrew had been asking to try that thing called Spam, so last week at the store I picked up a single-serve packet of the stuff. Everyone tried it and voted that they don't ever want to have it again. It was funny to watch them eat it, and their reaction. Nathanael said "It looks like a Pop-Tart!!" Good times on a Thursday night!

Period 3, Week 2

Another crazy busy week on Route 96835. Thanks to ANOTHER last minute ad at Albertsons, I blew the sales plan away again. I ended up running $18,114 against a $14,889 plan. That was $3,224 better then plan. It was an off week for stales, but still had $122, which was .2 higher than plan. Overall, it was a great week on the route. Thanks Albertsons for a great Doritos weekend ad!

Nathanael

I took a peak into the Sparks weekly award ceremony and saw Nathanael patiently waiting his turn to receive his bar for saying that evenings memory verse. He is also very excited for the AWANA games this month. They are practicing every Saturday morning, then will compete against other clubs from the area.

AWANA Dad

Here are Sarabeth and I at AWANA on Wednesday night. She had been looking forward to having me help out for what seemed like months. I am so thankful the kids have the chance to attend this awesome program every week!

TGIF2

Haven't started the movie yet. So tonight's entertainment so far has been Jennifer and Jim trying to fix Janet's Easter candy dispenser. So far they have tried 3 different screwdrivers. No luck. Hopefully Jim doesn't get out the band saw (a really funny story; ask me sometime if you are interested).

WOW! As I was typing this, Jen might have fixed it. Now if she can just put it all back together.
