Ready or Not here I come!

I guess my time away from my dear blogging friends is like a game of hide and seek. Yes, I have been hiding for quite awhile, like 4 months, but I was found just a few days ago when getting "called out" for not blogging anymore. I thought, seriously, the only ones that read this are the ones that I see on a weekly basis so what's the point. My husband then mentioned I used to read it so I knew what was going on because you just don't tell things. So here I am back on base for now, anyway! A lot has really been happening around the Klein household. HMMM let's think back to some of the old blogs.........I'll start with the one titled Who are You? I think that is what it is called, anyway, yes that snotty woman that I spoke of, oh funny story. We had yet another event where she attended with her husband and I got to see a side that showed me just how fake she is. From a lady who looked down upon me about a year ago is now inviting me over for an afternoon swim and cocktails. SERIOUSLY!!!!! It all changed when my precious husband made a speech at a large company function, apparently she found that impressive! She then started making proper conversation with me and somehow it went to politics and how I ran the Republican Women's group at A&M and was a major role for the Aggie's for Bush Campaign. She then invited us to her home for that swim and cocktails. Such a joke! All in all though, that night was great and the party was a BLAST! So here is to you M&S Engineering, HAPPY 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

Here is another update from previous blog titled From Step-son to Son Happy Birthday to my Favorite Teenager: Lawton is now 14!! I can't believe how old he is. He closed one chapter of his life today finishing middle school and started a new chapter as he begins high school. He is a great kid. He is so smart and tender hearted. I think it is pretty funny though that he is way taller than me and his dad. He now is 6 ft and wears a 11.5 shoe. CRAZY!!!! If now we could just put some meat on his bones!

Last but not least, the blog titled, Not Too Cool For School: my BABY finished pre-K yesterday. We had an amazing year with Mz. Lynday! She is such a blessing to our family and to Zane. I am honored to have a woman like that teaching my child. Lance and I explained to him that he had a summer break and wouldn't go to school for 2 months. He cried and didn't want to miss his friends. Yes, that is my social butterfly!!!

So game players, do I need to come find you now? Will you come out of blogger hiding?

Something funny!!!!!

This was our 1st Sunday in the Emerald Rainbow Family Fun Center for our worship inviting others in the community. As most of you know I am NOT a shy person, but when it comes to speaking in front of crowds I HATE IT!!!!! Since we have started community worship with the children in service they get to have their own little sermon piece that has to be "quick"! I feel that I never get it out right because I'm worried about time and Sunday just felt so uncomfortable doing it. Well if you work with children, you know that it is always better to get down on their level and at our 9:15 service I took a seat on the stage, the mic wouldn't work so I had to scoot back further away from the kids. Apparently I gave the praise and worship crew a crack show and was told about it afterwards. Girls, come on like anytime we sit these days you take the chance of showing the rear. If the fashion police want to make jeans come up a little more I would be happy to wear them but I don't see that happening anytime soon!!! HA!!! I apologized to the men and they were like, "what are you talking about." So at the 10:45 service I tried to stand and it just felt sooooo wrong. I looked back at the band and said, " I'm sorry, but I'm going to sit now." I have no idea if they got another show, but i think it is so funny. Nothing like a little Raenette crack to add to your life!!!

Emerald Rainbow Family Fun Center

Well, it was long waiting and finally the Emerald Rainbow Family Fun Center opened for business. I think the name is way too long so we have decided to shorten it to the ER. It is not only a a place for children to have fun but adults too. This place has a salon/spa, an organic cafe and the obstacle course is fun for us too. I took Zane with some friends and as long as they let him do the big kid stuff it was fun for him and kept him busy.

Taking a break from jumping and playing trains!

Jamie, is that baby ready yet?
My friends enjoying some girl time while the kids play!

playing trains again and we have a train table at home. I guess they are better at other places

One of our kids on the rock wall!

Going down the slide...what fun!

My good friend, Jen Taylor, on the rock wall!

She's coming down!

If you havn't been to the ER, go visit and bring some extra cash for the bowling and some food. It is so nice to have something like this in our little town. Oh, yeah, and our church meets here now on Sundays. Please come visit Riverside here at the ER at 9:15 or 10:45!!
