Time For A Change...

I have been considering for a few months now that I would like to switch my blog to a different blogging service. I am not quite sure why but I haven't been happy with this site for a while now (which is probably why I have pretty much stopped posting on it). So after a lot of time spent checking out other blogging sites and such I have decided to switch to livejournal.com.

The new addy is:
http://mymamadrama.livejournal.com

I am going to leave this blog up for quite a while still, that way people can access the new site from here. I will not be importing the posts from this blog to the new one, well...maybe I will import the videos of the kids I have posted here.

Sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause you, but in the end I think it will be a good move for me. Hopefully I will not lose any readers because of this change, and remember to up date your blog roll if you have this site tagged there.

Love to all...

What A Bad Blog Poster I Am...

Again I am sorry that I have not been keeping up with this blog! So much happens around here so quickly that I feel like I can't even keep up with it let alone keep everyone else up on it.

However...

The long and short of it is that I am now going to commit to posting at least weekly updates on here.

This was my New Year's resolution and so far I haven't done the greatest, but it is still early enough in the year that I can turn it around.

So in the next day or so (I promise!) I will be putting up posts on some the more recent and exciting (and not so exciting) things that have happened and are going on around here.

Look for those posts soon!

Love to all...

Sorry it has been so long...

Everything and everyone here is doing well except me! I have been sick or fighting off a sickness since just after Thanksgiving! UGH!!! I am so sick of being sick. Then on top of being sick on Jan 2 I was eating a bag of cheesy popcorn and bit down on a kernel that broke one of my back molars, so...yep I had to have that tooth pulled. Then of course I had to get dry socket because that is just the kind of luck I seem to have. My tooth no sooner stopped hurting and began healing and then I came down with an ear infection (which is what I am currently dealing with).

Sorry I am whining, but my goodness I am tired of being sick! I promise to begin posting again soon, when I am feeling at least a little more normal.

Caleb's Christmas Concert 2005...It's Kind Of Old But It's Good

This video was taken the Christmas of 2005, it was the first Christmas that Caleb had a Christmas concert and his first year at BPC Elem. School. When I first took the video we had an old camera and an old computer, and I couldn't seem to upload it to be able to send it to anyone.

This morning I was going through pictures and I found this video on a disc, so I put it into our new computer and it allowed me to upload it to YouTube. I was so excited, it is so cute...although it almost made me cried because it made me realize how much she has grown since then. He is getting to be such a big boy, time sure is flying...I mean this video is almost 3 years old...so hard to believe.

Well I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did. Caleb is the little boy in the khaki pants and blue and khaki striped shirt on the end behind the little girl with the white shirt on. He is the one that really got into the dancing by swinging his hips to the song, it was so cute!

Miss Baya...

Meet Baya, she is the newest member of the Perchalski Family Petting Zoo. She is an 8 week old teacup chihuahua. She came to us compliments of Roberts cousin Jenelle who breeds them. I was not really looking for another dog considering we already have 3, but when they gave us the opportunity to take home this little darling we couldn't say no. And yes I had Paul's permission to bring her home.

When it came to naming her there was a bit of a struggle. I wanted a Bella and Kate wanted a Spanish name, since chihuahuas are a breed of Mexican dog. So we compromised and named her Bella (but we use the Spanish pronunciation which is bay-ya). We decided to spell it Baya, and not Bella so that people would call her by the Spanish pronunciation and not the English pronunciation.

She seems to be doing well adapting to all her new "friends" here at the Perchalski Family Petting Zoo. The other dogs enjoy playing with her, and Roxie is especially fond of her. The cats actually tolerate her very well but Amaretto especially hates her...of course!

Baya is a bit of a diva though. She loves to be held and will whimper and whine until someone picks her up. It seems like from the moment she gets up in the morning until the moment she goes to bed at night her feet never hit the floor...someone is always caring her around.

I was teasing Paul that now I need a Dolce & Gabana carrying bag for her and some big sunglasses for me so that I can be like Paris Hilton. HEHEHE!!! Oh and don't forget the dress up clothes for Baya!

Here is the link for some pics of Miss Baya:

National FFA Convention...

Kate just returned from the National FFA Convention that took place in Indianapolis, Indiana.

At BPC High when you come in as a Freshman that participates in FFA you automatically get to go to National Convention. However the year that Kate was a Freshman she broke her ankle 3 days before they were suppose to leave to go, so needless to say she didn't get to go that year. After your Freshman year in order for someone to attend National Convention they have to either be an FFA Chapter Officer or have be one of the highest point earners from the year before. In order to earn points you have to attend FFA functions, meetings, and competitions.

Since we all know that Kate blew off her Freshman year, and didn't really seem to care about FFA at all, she was not allowed to go as a Sophomore. Well, thank God last year she pulled it together and really participated a lot in FFA (she even got chosen several times to do camps and stuff that very few others got to attend). Last year for FFA she went to a leadership camp, a made for excellence conference, a lots of chapter competitions, and even several district ones as well. She really came into her own last year in FFA.

So when it came time for National FFA Convention this year she was one of only 4 upper class men that was selected to go. She had a blast and is looking forward to getting to go next year. As a matter of fact Paul and I have decided that we will go and meet up with her and her FFA chapter. It looks like a lot of fun, and it is also a good time to be scoping out schools that have agriculture as a major. She is planning on getting to go to National Convention next year by being an officer (YEAH!!!), she wants to run for vice president, but will run for president if she has to.

Here is the links to the pics she took at the convention:
