My Sister Birthday Today


This greeting is for my Sister to wish her Happy Birthday today in Philippines. Thank you for everything being such a nice sister and always there for me when I was there in Philippines with my kids. My two kids and I stood there house almost a year because I let my two kids go to school in Cebu Eastern College (CEC) to learn Filipino and Chinese. Even though was hard for my kids to learn Chinese and Filipino. They had a great time meeting many friends hanging out, and they learned the different between the school in Philippines and Denver. I thank to my sister and her families supporting us to stay with them while we were there. Sis you are so wonderful and the Kids…Wish you many more birthdays to come. Will see you soon and the Families.

Making it easy for you,

Have you or any of your children taken piano lessons? You probably know that you really need music sheets to play something that you have learned while taking lessons. The thing is you don’t need to use music sheets to play the piano.
Now you can learn on the fly with a DVD, yes you can watch and learn. It’s easy and simple. You can start learning, and playing all your favorite tunes on the Piano Chords within minutes. Piano lessons have never been easier.
You can keep your appointments with your piano teacher. But you may want to utilize the option of using a DVD to your advantage. Say you can’t make your lesson, or your time is not allowing the drive time. What ever the case may be, you can continue with your piano goals without the drive time. You can learn on your time, and with out leaving your house, it’s just a way of making it easy for you.

Henry vs Grant Ranch Cross Country
















Hubby and I got to the Grant Ranch School yesterday where the track field held. Kids started to run when we got to the field and saw my girl was walking with few kids tired and sweating. There were about 30 kids joined in Henry School where my daughter‘s group, they have to runs 3 lap. I do not know how many miles is that as long it is quite far, my daughter was tired and hurting her side pain but at least she made the lap round and it was her first time in Cross-country. On our way home Ashley said she did not eat at her lunch at the school and drunk a lot of water maybe that what it cause a little pain while she was running, I have no idea why she skip her lunchtime. We talked while driving home that she need to motivated to try hard for the next time and need more practice. The next game will be on Wednesday. Ashley did a great job for her first time of her runs three lap of her Cross Country.

Cozy warm in the winter time

Our bill for the winter is something that we are always on a watch for. It seems like the bill would get so high in the winter. So my husband put in a stove and closed the fireplace except where the pipe goes out.

He recently did a job in the mountains and saw heating differently. He said that the heat comes up thru the floors. He went on to explain that most mountain homes are going to this type of heating.

He said they still have a fireplace, and even a stove. But was told that the floor heating was so much more efficient and cost effective that it is the way all homes are being built not only in the mountains but in the city.

The real negative about a stove is the smoke, which we have down to very little, but the ashes that are left around the stove every time you put wood in or clean out the ashes. The other is you can’t get a consistent temperature. Sometimes it gets real hot in one room, and cool in the next. The thing about floor heat is you can be cozy warm in the winter time no matter what part of the house you’re in.

Ashley First Game Today "Cross Country"

My daughter Ashley made it to the team with other group at the school to play Cross-country. She is so excited about either she will take the Cross country or the Volleyball but the practice schedule got conflict at the same day. When my daughter told me week ago that she need to have a sports physical as possible so she can join at the physical sports. I called at Kaiser; it was very lucky have available appointment for her to see the doctor for her physical exam. Doctor released a forms for Ashley authorize that she can play sports and had three vaccines (shots) done and submitted the forms to the sports teacher. I was not too sure if she is in the team until yesterday she brought her uniform home and told us she needs a good running shoe. After our dinner, we went to Kohl’s look around for her shoe to pick out what she likes. She picked out the AVIA brand Nike for her pair of running shoes. It’s expensive for me for $59.99 plus tax, but that is okay because she needs a good one to run. She is annoying, keep telling hubby and I to watch her run. Of course, I do not want to miss this game to see and watch her run and be proud for her first time sports at the school. Today is her first game with other team to play Cross Country at Henry World School vs. Grant Ranch. Ashley has counted on us to be there. I will be there Princess... Go-Go “EAGLES”….
