A day of beautiful memories for you and Monica. But I want to share with you how much the memories of you growing up I treasure and smile each time I remember.</div><div>When you were born and the doctor said it was a boy, I don't think your dad's feet touched the ground for days, after that announcement. You were the most precious baby with your curly hair and dimples. Who can forget cheeseballs, Sodie, corn street, cleaning the inners out of pumpkins and you said"EWW that is gross at 3. When Great Gram would take you out to eat with her friends, and you said these rolls are delicious. All the plays you did. The purple man, you were a ham. You were so good in all of them and every time you were on stage my heart swelled with pride watching you. I have always wanted to do that, so I admired your courage, talent, voice and all the fun you had with your friends, it was so great to be apart of that. I think the one your dad might treasures is your match at districts and how you fought to come back to wrestle one more match. These are only a few of the many memories I will treasure of you growing up, but now it is time for you to make memories with Monica, as husband and wife.</div><div><br /></div><div>You two have been through a lot in the past 6 months with buying a house and a new job and survived, which is proof how a good, solid, strong and loving your relationship can endure life's curve balls. "Faith, plants the seeds. Love makes it grow" Monica is a good woman and she sees what a caring, compassionate, funny, wonderful, honest, hardworking, kind and loving husband you will be, but most importantly what a great friendship you will have together. With an added bonus, Monica gets you. So, Monica and Bryce enjoy your day, and remember " There is no limit to love's forbearance, to its trust, its hope. its power to endure". " There are in the end three things that last: faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love. We love you and Monica very much. We will treasure this day of your marriage to your beautiful and kind wife and our new daughter. Lots of love and prayers, mom and dad</div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-26166405350792513322009-06-30T05:52:00.004-04:002009-06-30T06:24:40.199-04:00Wonderful Vacation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhXFoufnncYYZWjlmGgfC61gzerbNX75daRhkIoUWo8LFJ-oToQob6diX3iaX8tk2ZDWQGOtmyfcd0cWICidxyURwGkrLteugoiTT6rl7vUP4OzgfIbg6h11GFj1zjZVvvZGQYEoYAhJM/s1600-h/4844_542297619127_6602447_32087664_5265693_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhXFoufnncYYZWjlmGgfC61gzerbNX75daRhkIoUWo8LFJ-oToQob6diX3iaX8tk2ZDWQGOtmyfcd0cWICidxyURwGkrLteugoiTT6rl7vUP4OzgfIbg6h11GFj1zjZVvvZGQYEoYAhJM/s320/4844_542297619127_6602447_32087664_5265693_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353064110374290146" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQVF9rIv4VvP02LrP3DJMhMjwVqc4iVDjzaqC74FOzLOsUcve3mnOqf_Ara29tYx6zH936t6rYlIEQf33NGZqZs00S2PxDydqAl0hs3bF-Iil9RacQOhDDDVCNtRyj_SY1sI8YtCxoja4/s1600-h/DSC00675.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQVF9rIv4VvP02LrP3DJMhMjwVqc4iVDjzaqC74FOzLOsUcve3mnOqf_Ara29tYx6zH936t6rYlIEQf33NGZqZs00S2PxDydqAl0hs3bF-Iil9RacQOhDDDVCNtRyj_SY1sI8YtCxoja4/s320/DSC00675.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353063475212731554" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYxaB4i3mwUigt9sm_Iqj17M3JHwKCcK1QkjQRvdr8_Z3Qq4FWSoXe1JAJfn6u6u8DsQJP_OPt6mIl18-I6M9yzCEwFMkDeluZYAlslqADnAG9Ju1nR9M8T85X-ulyXGjLFkSb2rbLhw/s1600-h/4826_1113430570276_1662290921_257144_6788314_n.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYxaB4i3mwUigt9sm_Iqj17M3JHwKCcK1QkjQRvdr8_Z3Qq4FWSoXe1JAJfn6u6u8DsQJP_OPt6mIl18-I6M9yzCEwFMkDeluZYAlslqADnAG9Ju1nR9M8T85X-ulyXGjLFkSb2rbLhw/s320/4826_1113430570276_1662290921_257144_6788314_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353063470720345170" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlGCDM2CxhMMjbQxcINKYeIvr8LL7OAbbAYF_PL_ZXFOXC3fAI7-Y8vFTUkkDXYBjR0LrTaepvB6Tu32kPsyg29AfVOsAIOXvKa6Owl_tyAkTD8FWIrTAP38O3eBjsdhWAM9BYZAL32Us/s1600-h/DSC00653.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlGCDM2CxhMMjbQxcINKYeIvr8LL7OAbbAYF_PL_ZXFOXC3fAI7-Y8vFTUkkDXYBjR0LrTaepvB6Tu32kPsyg29AfVOsAIOXvKa6Owl_tyAkTD8FWIrTAP38O3eBjsdhWAM9BYZAL32Us/s320/DSC00653.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353063472803652018" /></a><br />Our vacation is over. It has been the most fun and relaxing trip ever. Most importantly I feel so satisfied that we were able to give Shaina and Jonathan a beautiful and memorable wedding day. I know I am the mother but it was truly a wonderful day, Yes it was hot but we had a nice breeze on the beach. When you saw Shaina and Jonathan together and how they smiled at each other, nothing else mattered. My heart just melted with love for them both. Shaina and Jonathan had every detail taken care of. They picked out the most beautiful songs that expressed their love for each other. As a mom you couldn't of envisioned it any better. It was a day filled with love and happiness. Shaina surprised me and ask that both Jude and I walk her to Jonathan and then Greg (Jonathan's dad) asked that we sit together as parents. Our two families have blended so well together and that is all because of Shai and Jonathan. I have to say we had a wonderful party. It was so great, we had our friends and family from Ohio, Miriam's family from England (four), Canada, friends and family from Wichita, Louisiana, wedding party from Canada, and we ate and danced until 11:30 and then met up at the bar afterwards for drinks. Everyone enjoyed and lived in that moment like we were all old friends. It was the most amazing and wonderful day ever!! And I leave you with one of the best photos of Jude and Jonathan, that says it all to me about how much Jonathan means to us. A picture is worth a thousand words.<div><br /></div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-57726615086897851082009-06-20T06:42:00.003-04:002009-06-20T07:23:49.898-04:00WeddingThoughts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_j_6mospma-pJhKJvtXt_drNDtJmni4_f3GGIkgrqgpV0zRznUp8W7riLkDQxD0izBt3t7aBATY5L5wSHhNIs0-aAShKeurAMxBIrTWl4MbVFWce1_F6dyyAhyhstslh3QaJtMBdgJpc/s1600-h/DSC00576.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_j_6mospma-pJhKJvtXt_drNDtJmni4_f3GGIkgrqgpV0zRznUp8W7riLkDQxD0izBt3t7aBATY5L5wSHhNIs0-aAShKeurAMxBIrTWl4MbVFWce1_F6dyyAhyhstslh3QaJtMBdgJpc/s320/DSC00576.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349366522978854850" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Shaina and Jonathan's wedding day has finally arrived and I am filled with such emotion and it keeps spilling out down my cheeks. Jonathan pulled me aside and told me how he is so excited and happy he is to marry our daughter. So please remember, it is tears of pure joy and I have alot of joy coming out of these eyes. Here is one quote that helps explain what I see when Jonathan looks at our Shaina:</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">A w</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" letter-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">omen wishes to be loved, not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves".</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" letter-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Jonathan "gets" Shaina. It is an amazing thing to observe the simplest of interactions between them. Jonathan is very nurturing, respectful, loving, reassuring, kind, supportive and everything else you would wish for your daughters happiness. Today we do not lose our daughter, we gain another son and witness our daughter, giving her heart to the man she adores and loves. My heart swells with love and pride for them both.<br /></span></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Today will be Jonathan and Shai's special day. Jude and I plan on enjoying and savoring every special moment the day will bring. Thank you everyone for all your thoughts, wishes and love you send our way.</span></span></div></div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-33688626485156178162009-06-10T21:47:00.002-04:002009-06-10T22:11:52.255-04:00A new addressFinally, we are in our new home in Cold Creek Crossing. It is beautiful and has lots of room. We have been constantly busy every night running errands, moving, buying household items, packing and unpacking . We have 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a full finished basement. It is very roomy. so we are official empty nesters living on our own. Jack and Zoey are adjusting. I think they think like me. I keep questioning myself, is this real? Are you sure your not at a hotel? I have a nice neighborhood to walk in, but on Tuesday morning, Zoey spotted the coyote in the neighborhood and he was watching and following us. Needless to say we went straight home. Everything was well with the wait.<div><br /></div><div>7 days till we see Shaina and Jonathan. I can hardly wait to see them. Things seem to be falling into place. I picked up my dress tonight and I really like it. It is turquoise, my grams favorite color. My sister, Rick, Mom& Roger. Jude, Bryce, Monica and I will be staying for a week after the wedding in a house my sister rented. Shai and Jonathan are staying longer so they can visit with Jonathan's family and us. Good times in Florida.</div><div><br /></div><div>2 days and school is out for the summer. It has been a good year and next year will prove to be a very exciting adventure for the teachers and students. Until then I need to be done to get ready for the first wedding. </div><div><br /></div><div>Jude is having a second procedure on his back this Thursday. It will b more medicine, and cauterizing a nerve. WE are getting him in shape to walk Shai down the isle at the beach.</div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-91551109295969259002009-05-25T09:32:00.002-04:002009-05-25T09:56:01.314-04:00Waiting is the hardest partWaiting.... still waiting for FEMA to clear our condo in Cold Creek Crossing. The word from the realtor was they meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays and our condo was on the agenda for Tuesday 5/19. Well apparently NOT. So we continue to wait.<div><br /></div><div>Shaina and Jonathan were waiting for a transmission and repair for over a week, but finally got everything fixed and left for Georgia on Friday 5/22. They are in Georgia staying with Greg & Miriam until the paper work gets finished up for their house. There seems to be a theme here.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bryce and Monica are working on their house and are making progress. Putting up some drywall, fixing things that come as a surprise after a house that has been unoccupied for a while and replacing a hot water tank. They are waiting for their windows to get installed and the inspector to check what has been done so far.</div><div><br /></div><div>Most importantly waiting for the first wedding of the summer. It is so exciting. We have been making all the last minute adjustments and plans. This makes me more anxious for it to happen. We have not seen Shai and Jonathan since December. WE just hope we have the time to sit around and visit with them during the time we are together. I just tried on my M.O.B dress and it is perfect aqua dress and very simple. Simple is good. My opinion. My gram would really love it. I choose this color for her. It is my way of having her apart of Shai's wedding day and i know she will be with us. Remember Shai's middle name is Allydia after her. Gram was a very special lady and we miss her very much.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's all for now.</div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-84693605011390556872009-04-30T17:44:00.002-04:002009-04-30T17:54:06.157-04:00DeliciousI am now a Delicious member. I am still learning how to get around the site and how to use it. It was fun putting all the sites I have in one place. Since Perkins is moving quickly into more technology I have made it my mission to collect as many sites to help me learn more about technology. One thing I have found, teachers like to share their ideas. I love teaching.<div><br /></div><div>Still waiting on the condo. Patience is a virtue.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you haven't heard Bryce and Mon have bought a house on Fifth St. They have a lot to do, but they have the time to do it they way want it. They are moving a pretty good pace. It is going to be very nice and they have a yard for Cami.</div><div><br /></div><div>Shai and Jonathan are still in Shreveport, awaiting to hear about their house. It is very beautiful with a big yard and close to her wonderful in-laws. Plus a room for Jude and I to visit. Now that is what I am talking about.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thats all for now!!</div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-38860715191354223162009-03-18T10:19:00.003-04:002009-03-18T10:44:56.394-04:00Holding PatternJude and I are in a holding pattern. You may or may not know, but recently Sandusky had a new map made for flood planes. We were told by our banks surveyor, the condo is in a flood plane. The people(bank) selling the condo say they are not. They told us they would pay the flood insurance, so we could go ahead with the sale and then prove it is not. Jude and I say "No, you prove we are not in the flood plane, then we buy." We do not want to buy in a flood plane: #1 flood insurance is anywhere between $1200 to #1500 a year, that is triple the normal amount of house insurance. #2 What if we ever sold, who is going to buy in a flood plane. We are waiting for them to contact FEMA and prove it is not in the flood plane. That is our story. I knew once I told people about the condo, I jinxed us.<div><br /></div><div>Other updates: I am traveling to Kentucky next weekend to a STEM conference for school. On April 16th - 19th, I am going to traveling to Johnstown, Iowa, to an Apple one to one training. Perkins is progressively pursuing lots of innovative plans for the district. The teachers have to be ready to embrace the challenge and gather lots of information. I am really excited about these opportunities.</div><div><br /></div><div>We had the Jr. High State Wrestling tournament this past weekend. It was a long for the workers but a great weekend of wrestling. Jude has done a great job in planning this event. I am so proud of him. He has put lots of time into his job and made sure all the t's were crossed and i's were dotted. These events have shown growth from last year to this year, all due to Jude's behind the scenes work. We now have grade school this weekend and we will travel back to Marion for round two. </div><div><br /></div><div>Shai and Jonathan are great. Jonathan's team has earned a spot in the CHL playoffs. We are all getting excited about the wedding and invites should be in the mail real soon.</div><div>Bryce and Monica have made changes to the wedding planning and have some things in the works, which is theirs to tell.</div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-68978156971713137512009-02-24T20:54:00.002-05:002009-02-24T21:03:38.058-05:00Great siteToday I booked our flights for the wedding.

First we put a bid on a condo and have been negotiating for 2 weeks and have come up with a good price for us. So the dream for us has finally come true we are now moving into a condo. Kyle and Cindy will now have some new neighbors. Our condo is located back in the Cold Creek Crossing development, not to far from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Tofts</span> (YUM). There is only four condos back in this development, so we have lots of room. Our new home has 3 bedrooms, laundry room off the kitchen (YEAH!!), full finished basement, lots of storage, central vac, the kitchen has all the appliances, and 3 bathrooms. We now have a two car garage. We are very exited and the closing will be very soon. Our house on Carr is going up on the market today. Jill said the sign will go up today. We leave behind a home that gave us many wonderful memories for our family and it will always hold special place in hearts. Bryce and Monica, Shaina and Jonathan are moving on with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">their</span> lives and so must the parents, new beginnings for us all.sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-37421677243295550332009-02-01T07:08:00.006-05:002009-02-01T08:33:06.361-05:00Bringing you up to date and Jonathan comes up big.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbEr239m3Muey1TaiELi0AlJgyLZBFZoF2XaObsWNcaEqVXQv90RjE1LSDEgpsUHCijoM5_LcTJNsb-0nv25hcRS51bIFPmXOUbmHZovIqjolAAUZ5yWo1tHneRI_uqkXEuw_K5TSP_I0/s1600-h/bilde.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbEr239m3Muey1TaiELi0AlJgyLZBFZoF2XaObsWNcaEqVXQv90RjE1LSDEgpsUHCijoM5_LcTJNsb-0nv25hcRS51bIFPmXOUbmHZovIqjolAAUZ5yWo1tHneRI_uqkXEuw_K5TSP_I0/s320/bilde.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297810146674672402" /></a><br />It has been a long time since I posted. School has been keeping me busy, then I am just tired when I get home. It seems Feb. is going to bring lots of meetings and then IEP's (Indiviual Educational Plans) need to be written and meeting with parents. Plus add to that weddings in the summer. I wouldn't have it any other way.<div><br /></div><div>Jude is very busy with wrestling. He has been gone the last two weekends at various sectional tournaments associated with the junior high and grade school tournament circuit. He loves every minute of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jude and I have been involved with Lifeteen. This is a high school youth group sponsored by all three parishes. It has been a very rewarding experience. You can come to the mass at 5:00pm held at Holy Angles every Sunday night. Please do, the mass is open to everyone. Our youth group meets after mass. The music at this mass is great. You are surround by kids who enjoy mass and hanging with Father Dave, it is just the best faith experience.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bryce and Monica have been working on some wedding stuff. they will be married at St. Mary's and the reception will be in Lorain at Delucas. They will be meeting with Father Dave real soon. Monica is going to pick up her dress in another week. She is very excited.</div><div><br /></div><div>Shaina and Jonathan have been working on their wedding also. We have a photographer and flower lady. Shai has rooms blocked off at the Grand Plaza, but I think she has a listing of surrounding hotels also listed on her wedding site. I have been keeping an eye on flights. Peggy Legay told me to look at USA 3000 and Alliegent Air both fly directly into Tampa, which is just 20-25 minutes from St. Petersburg. What I have done in the past with flights is go to the airport I want to fly into, look at the airlines that have service there and go directly to them to see if I can find deals. It has worked for me, when going to see Shai. I am so excited it is going to be so much fun. </div><div><br /></div><div>Finally, I want to tell you about our amazing future son-in-law and his awesome game last night against Witchita Thunder and I quote: "Horrell played against his former team for the second time this season and once again was the difference maker. The 27 year old had 37 saves in a 2-1 victory Saturday in front of an announced crowd of 4,916 at the CenturyTel Center". " Jonny is like any athlete at any level. When he starts to get some confidence, he thrives on it," Mudbugs coach Scott Muscutt said. " He made some big saves early for us and he only got better from there".<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>It is so nice to see good things happen to good people. Jonathan has worked hard and put his whole heart into hockey. Jude and I feel like proud parents.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's all. Have a great day!!!</div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-30953007365399542472009-01-08T05:58:00.002-05:002009-01-08T06:02:35.328-05:00Pictures Jonathan in action<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlJktS5tn9Io1W8BvsNSrRW9LWiWQ4RKBbv3CQI65JKCwUs995xVzgcwO9JIgH8MNZcVth6lIySlNSWjBrFtstBTzXFC4jgwcAsaa8SeQNAxGXMUsqJdYifJo8c2JQCp28ozPEhKjE1x0/s1600-h/n20904289_37637356_5839.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 215px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlJktS5tn9Io1W8BvsNSrRW9LWiWQ4RKBbv3CQI65JKCwUs995xVzgcwO9JIgH8MNZcVth6lIySlNSWjBrFtstBTzXFC4jgwcAsaa8SeQNAxGXMUsqJdYifJo8c2JQCp28ozPEhKjE1x0/s320/n20904289_37637356_5839.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288876609843876786" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPtcTcPhpLVk9exV0At8U0pb_7bGJeDUGEL4KiQA6Uy6bZrHozj8OaZFSE5H2xzSk3wcPkNPRsquA0asBL1Dwyy-TqvL55Yna6eN-1rSh9rs7ldK-3c8ZSVySnDSICo9MXi0oPq_KGNLE/s1600-h/n20904289_37637355_5581.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPtcTcPhpLVk9exV0At8U0pb_7bGJeDUGEL4KiQA6Uy6bZrHozj8OaZFSE5H2xzSk3wcPkNPRsquA0asBL1Dwyy-TqvL55Yna6eN-1rSh9rs7ldK-3c8ZSVySnDSICo9MXi0oPq_KGNLE/s320/n20904289_37637355_5581.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288876601561546034" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrw640zO3A0RGSfjO3_jw442avple5RhWRTp0rPJKDfMFdDq1R8KSGjjShndRfBK3s5Xf2-imeznbmajHVvn6LM-u58lp2EvpPqi5x3xFEHNBwfashndIW4DUaTteSWSqbdoo77mNbvM/s1600-h/n20904289_37637323_1671.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrw640zO3A0RGSfjO3_jw442avple5RhWRTp0rPJKDfMFdDq1R8KSGjjShndRfBK3s5Xf2-imeznbmajHVvn6LM-u58lp2EvpPqi5x3xFEHNBwfashndIW4DUaTteSWSqbdoo77mNbvM/s320/n20904289_37637323_1671.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288876602387867570" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhggNQIyXAn_hYs6-1t3BkgbT65YWSNPoBGqiL7WdS7tPnlve3HgRB-3uYqTqFFrzr5icld41-OBdZwwU8dLvI03G1USgdH6Xkbgv3Jrno9QHJTuMEGdej09t5Gb3wsDsrQyPSw29-Rlk8/s1600-h/n20904289_37637322_1447.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhggNQIyXAn_hYs6-1t3BkgbT65YWSNPoBGqiL7WdS7tPnlve3HgRB-3uYqTqFFrzr5icld41-OBdZwwU8dLvI03G1USgdH6Xkbgv3Jrno9QHJTuMEGdej09t5Gb3wsDsrQyPSw29-Rlk8/s320/n20904289_37637322_1447.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288876599766501938" /></a><br />Shaina's grandma Roth requested some pictures of Jonathan in his uniform, so here they are:sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-41877134263655735362009-01-07T17:55:00.004-05:002009-01-07T18:08:58.330-05:00A few tidbits from the Roth'sGood New from Shreveport.

We are having a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">wonderful</span> visit with them. Jonathan's team still has 3 goalies, but the bonus is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Jonathan</span> has a contract. so as of right now he is on the injured reserve list, which turned out good for us. He had time to visit with us and his parents, Greg and Miriam, while the team traveled to Texas and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Mississippi</span>. We did go to a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">game</span> on the 26<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Centel</span> Arena. The team played Corpus Cristi and there was a bench clearing brawl. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Unbelievable</span>, they had to go to a 15 minute intermission to sort the whole mess out. The end <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">result</span> was 4 of Jonathan's team mates were <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">suspended</span> 1 -4 <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">games</span> based on the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">severity</span> of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">fighting</span>. There are about 5 different <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">casino's</span> in this town, We ate at the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Boomtown</span> buffet, it was so good. Lots of food. It has been a real nice visit and I am so glad we now have the time to travel to see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Shaina</span>. We have talked about wedding plans and got some things decided. I think the time will fly now till the wedding. That is it for now, just really enjoying the time alone with Jude and our visit with our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">favorite</span> daughter and fiance.sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-84732279610372465442008-12-26T10:11:00.006-05:002008-12-26T16:52:27.970-05:00Long DayWhere do I begin?. I had the perfect day planned, we leave early from home and will be in Shreveport by 11:30 am, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">celebrating</span></span> Christmas with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Shai</span></span></span>, Jonathan, Miriam and Greg. WRONG! Jude and I got to Cleveland Hopkins at 6:25 am our flight would leave at 7:25 am. Who travels on Christmas Day? Oh yeah us and about more than a dozen people in the NW line. So now I am going to not make my flight, with trying to check in and security. No worries our flight was delayed till 8:40 am. Good, no problem. Yes problem, our connecting out of Memphis leaves at (9:50 am) so we had to find another flight out of Memphis to Shreveport. Found it, leaves at 2:40 pm. Checked in, security was a breeze. Now we wait and wait. The plane finally comes at 9:10 am, we leave at 9:40 am, get to Memphis at 11:50 am. Then we eat and wait and have to listen to this snotty teenage girl on her cell phone, talking <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">insensibly</span> rude and loud. Very <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">irritating!</span> Jude said, he would of "kicked her to the curb". The next flight was on time and we arrived in Shreveport at 4:00 pm. Now here comes an episode out of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Seinfeld</span>, I made the reservation for a car at 11:00 am but delays got us in at 4:00, so "anybody can take the reservation" but "the key is holding the reservation" Enough said! Enterprise can't hold the reservation. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Our</span> car is not there. We had to have <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Shai</span></span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">pick us</span> up. Hopefully we have a car, later today. Fun times. Really it wasn't bad just kinda funny when you think about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">it. </span> I got one scarf done, bonus. We still get to visit with the kids, so life is good. Other people in the NW line missed other flights which in turned they missed <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">their</span> cruises. So our story is not that bad. I think you need to have a good sense of humor and patience, when traveling. I felt sorry for the travel workers, having people yelling at them and missing <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Christmas</span> with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">their</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">families</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Everyone</span> have a good day.

I have been at technology training for 2 days and WOW have I been amazed. I learning how to design a web page, make a movie, IDVD, slide shows and use garage band. MacBooks are so amazing. After going to these trainings I realize how technology savvy I am not, BUT I am willing to learn if someone has the patience. All the tricks I learned today, will make teaching and learning so exciting and rewarding for teachers and students.<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Family update</span>: Shai and Jonathan are in Sherevport, LA.

Well this is how I have been feeling lately. But that has changed since attending a conference of Brain Based Learning with Dr. Marcia Tate. She is awesome and ROCKS. She taught us so much in one day. She inspired us to look at things differently, challenged us to change the way we teach. Use laughter, music, have positive expectations, students talking about content, students moving. It was just so re-affirming to know that I have been doing some of this stuff already. I do like music and try to sing, but then I am reminded that one of my former students always reminded me "Mrs. Roth you can't sing". This conference was time very well spent. Here is some other important information I learned and think it is worth sharing:<div>1. Laughter can add 8 years of life.</div><div>2. Your brain weighs 3lbs.</div><div>3. 1 neuron has 6000 dendrites</div><div>4. Stress is the no#1 reason for aging</div><div>5. The brain can hold seven isolated bits of information in short term memory</div><div>6. Music helps memory</div><div>7. Students need affirmation</div><div>8. Be more positive than negative.</div><div>9. The brain remembers when a lesson has activity attached to it.</div><div>10. Teaching is fun!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>I guess I really rambled here about this conference. I am just so pumped up from this day and wanted to share my excitement about what I learned. I am pumped TO TRY ALL information, Mrs. Tate gave us.

School has started and it seems the days just fly by. Perkins is getting ready to switch to the Mac system and I am apart of the technology committee that is helping with this process. It is so exciting and I am getting to know more staff this way. I am still knitting but having some difficulties with my shrug. I have been able to get down to just one or two projects going on at the same time. I have also come to the conclusion that Zoey needs to go back to school. She thinks she is the alpha, so we need to adjust that a little. She seems to be a little to attached to me, especially at night. So when Jude comes near me, she growls at him and nips at him if he tries to touch me. I find it quite sweet but Jude is not liking it that much!!! <div><br /></div><div>Shai and Jonathan are in the process of packing and getting ready to move. Jonathan has camp the end of the month, then we will know. We are just very happy , that Jonathan will be able to play the sport he loves. Shai doesn't mind moving and is very organized. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thats all folks!!!</div><div><br /></div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-19292049330663106872008-08-31T22:14:00.003-04:002008-08-31T22:25:51.827-04:00Things are good<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG01IyLuRowcEH6SHoVje3dhCGRH7xyY8y_It5ei8LSajWaY2VhcP9OZTuLiRZWV5Tbq-obFQI7UNA3Au2uO-ImXzCyMOXdPQUtYm4B4vqiXG8lGJOzrXB3vFbaaVYxIl6VURlKDW5NgA/s1600-h/family+42008_00000.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG01IyLuRowcEH6SHoVje3dhCGRH7xyY8y_It5ei8LSajWaY2VhcP9OZTuLiRZWV5Tbq-obFQI7UNA3Au2uO-ImXzCyMOXdPQUtYm4B4vqiXG8lGJOzrXB3vFbaaVYxIl6VURlKDW5NgA/s320/family+42008_00000.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240872334882772034" /></a>A Cami is doing well.

And corn and Cami do not mix. <div>Shaina was home for a week and we had a wonderful visit with her. I was able to get some family pictures done. Here is one that I liked. Otherwise I am getting ready to go back to school with bells on. It is going to be an exciting year, with many good things to come for Perkins Schools. Everyone have a great week. It's going to be a hot one, just in time for school, YEAH!!!(that was me being sarcastic)</div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-58769516385434901512008-08-10T18:50:00.019-04:002008-08-11T20:40:31.016-04:00Cami is home<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ewvJOPNpmeqq0e-w0C9qEHfQlKAXsCaEkcwj1dJ9mjRueA5ZLlyqLXdwxfwciURzywTnQJzZYuWS6nKTCW25arP91Eb5DXxXhAGzpnN3iP4zBcnTmUhlIaXUZtgvDBpRUM_st-_vIJk/s1600-h/DSC00268.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ewvJOPNpmeqq0e-w0C9qEHfQlKAXsCaEkcwj1dJ9mjRueA5ZLlyqLXdwxfwciURzywTnQJzZYuWS6nKTCW25arP91Eb5DXxXhAGzpnN3iP4zBcnTmUhlIaXUZtgvDBpRUM_st-_vIJk/s320/DSC00268.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233038361969997186" /></a><br /><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsh5zL0FeyvcBjngIeZw9rL2MpigNsxvtVeoMF1Pmdf8NPKWac2Es1vpCdu1SYU0Iy4b5FJ_h1q59RWbF1UV2IWwWyHN9ND6fQ-5yIazWdiOzfBP1Rz9GcJ8h7s5XsbyddbJj1m4rUDLA/s200/DSC00273.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233026989968896594" /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> Here is Cami and her dad. She looks SO much better than she did on Thursday. She is home, but quarentined within the house. We have to watch the other two, but I am confident they will be okay. They are up to date with shots, but anything can happen. Cami is on a special diet for a couple of days, but gobbles up her food very fast, She is peppy and looks good. She has lost some weight, but I think in no time she will be back to her original weight in no time. </div><div style="text-align: left;">So thanks for the prayers, everyone.</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4lsfFE-QCHkNndTvSY8ycyF7LY-4Nc90Xphd-1h8zB_xR0Xweao2P8vFsUPsmuPObYvmvxwA5EgILMIUq68V_1TQD9v50_UyBQYzvZ4vg_kv5OdC2pMt8fI6scjhZ_tVY9M4DD6cfk7U/s200/DSC00271.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233025886640179970" /></div><div>In other news, Shai is home in 6 days.

I am anticipating going back to school and I can say I can't wait! Moving to Perkins has been such a positive move for me. I have come to realize how much I like HS students, which is pretty <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">amazing</span> for me. I always like the little dudes a lot. The Language program has gotten lots of great <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">reviews</span> from parents and teachers. Western Reserve teachers came to school to talk to me about the program and now are ready to jump right in to the program for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">their</span> kiddos. So I have to say Perkins did a nice job finding a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">program</span> for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">their</span> students.<div><br /></div><div>I have a conference in Toledo 3 days next week on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">assessments,</span> so I am excited to learn new things. Plus Perkins is really <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">aggressively</span> looking at a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">serious</span> technology plan for the district. Mr. Gunner was a positive choice for Perkins.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Shaina</span> is coming home August 16<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">th</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">through</span> August 23rd. I don't think I have to say how <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">excited</span> we are to have her home. Jonathan is traveling to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Canada</span> for a camp. He has been busy looking for a team. He has a few <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">possibilities</span>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bryce and Mon are good. They were fortunate <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">enough</span> to see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Obama</span> on Tues at Baldwin Wallace. Bryce <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">said</span> he was 3 rows away from the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">stage</span> and felt very <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">inspired</span> after his speech. The man is a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">wonderful</span> speaker. He has lots of pictures.</div><div><br /></div><div>Well that's it for today and yes the stitches are out! Have great day and enjoy!</div>sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340582073177380911.post-6987793637128181322008-07-28T18:37:00.003-04:002008-07-28T18:42:18.784-04:00Dangerous in the kitchenWell the verdict is in, I am a danger to myself. I was cutting tomatoes and I sliced my thumb instead of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">tomato</span>. I thought it was okay, Jude said I needed <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">stitches</span>. Well I consulted with my sister in law and she agreed with Jude. So I did and the doc said I did a nice job and he stitched it up with 6 stitches. Well I guess that means no dishes and wash for a while, OH darn! Do you think I can get away with that. Can't blame a girl for trying.sarothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02956032359820399205noreply@blogger.com2
