What's up!

Okay so we have been busy. I try really hard to do the blog thing but it is tough with two girls and a husband who works until 8.

I decided it was time to be more fluid. I am going to model the blog more like my friend Dan's blog which I love. Congrats to Dan, Minna, Hannah and Jane for welcoming a new baby girl into their family.

So we returned from Disney and Jim turned 42. No birthday gift for him because he really needs a new car. Luckily, our friends, the Schlectherberries, and our cousins, Rick and Erin, lent us a car to use. Jim's beloved Rodeo went to car heaven. The power steering was gone. We bought this truck a week after Jess was born so it will be sad to see it go. But a new car should be wheeling into place any minute!

Nicole was in her school play Annie. She as a maid in the Warbucks household. With over 120 children on stage, the show was a lot of fun to watch and see. I had the pleasure of being a costume maiden to all those stars.

Jess was finally able to go back and ride Pie. She even got off the leadline which was a big accomplishment. She is looking forward to spending more time this summer riding her heart out.

As for me, I am trying to stay out of trouble. I know my friend Bri would be disappointed at that statement but hey I have to be an example. JetBlue continues to be busy and I will be soon ramping up again for another round of the Disney Moms Panel. I have been finding my cousins on Facebook which has been awesome. I have over 40 first cousins of which I hardly see. Now at least I see them virtually!

The Last Two Months

So what have the Choisezs been up to:

Nicole ran for Vice President of Student Council and lost. We had a Sarah Palin party for her and her friend Emma who ran against her. She also turned 10 which means no one in the house is in single digits. She still has not decided on how to celebrate her birthday with her friends.

Jessica continues to help out the freshman class at FPM. She started and completed her science project on hydroponics. She grew bamboo in four mediums: soil, water, legos and cloth. She also had her first horse jumping competition. She did really well with a fifth place and two sixth place ribbons. She loves her horse, Humble Pie, and now wants a horse along with a dog.

Jim is trying to get back into running. He is working many hours of overtime and enjoys the work. While he will be working Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, he says it is okay because he is saving lives.

I have been very busy. I went to West Point for three days for work, was home a day and then went to Disney to help with the new Disney Moms Panel winners. Only 17 days to ask me a question. I have become addicted to social media and regularly update Facebook and Twitter. Now I need to get them to work in tandem on the iPhone which is my favorite treat ever.

We are all ready to go on our first vacation over Christmas-yup we are going to Disney!

Where we left off...

So it has been a while since I blogged. Things have been busy with the Choisez Family.

Jim is only a few short months from graduating from school. He is at the top of his class so all of Jessica's tutoring must be a help. :) Seriously, he has done it all on his own. He is registered for the Long Island Half Marathon in May and is looking for his next big race.

Jessica has been busy with the school play, Peter Pan. She was a part of the stage crew and was very helpful in getting the sets moved and helping the parents backstage with their cues. She also was a state finalist for the National Geographic Geography Bee-more to come on this.

Nicole has entered the crazy spring sport season. In addition to dance, she has lacrosse and spring soccer. She will add softball as soon as soccer is finished. She was recognized by the school district as having a perfect score on the NYS Math Test.

I have been busy with JetBlue. I was part of a team that ran a conference for JetBlue at West Point for three days. I also helped to put together the program for the play.

I will try to keep this up to date.
