My son's teacher is having each student make edible plant or animal cells. What a great way to learn about plant cells and have fun. I know my son will always remember the parts of a plant cell because of this project.<br /><br /><br />v The Red Twizzlers represents the endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the production of the protein and lipid components of most of the cell's organelles.<br /><br />v The Yellow Laffy taffy represents the Golgi body. The Golgi is often considered the distribution and shipping department for the cell's chemical products. It prepares proteins for export outside of the cell or for transport to other locations in the cell.<br /><br />v The blue cotton candy represents the vacuole. The vacuole is a large storage facility that stores food and water.<br /><br />v The green icing represents the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is a jelly like substance that all of the cells organelles are located in.<br /><br />v The blue icing represents the cell membrane. The cell membrane controls all that flows in and out of the cell.<br /><br />v The red gushers represent the chloroplast. Chloroplast are were the plant cells chlorophyll is stored. This is what the plant uses to make into its own food. It combines sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce sugars. It also gives the plant its color.<br /><br />v The hot tamales represent the mitochondrion. The mitochondria are located in the cytoplasm. The mitochondria are the power house of the cell.<br /><br />v The pink nerds represent the Ribosome. Ribosomes create protein.<br /><br />v The pink icing represents the nucleus. The nucleus controls all of the cell activities.<br /><br /><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" />dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-73009757723934269542011-09-18T17:14:00.000-04:002011-09-18T17:14:29.634-04:00"Baptism" Chesney and Travis music video<iframe height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Tc0UfXGrAHo?fs=1" frameborder="0" width="459" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /><br />My baby girl was baptised today!<br /><br /><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" />dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-29313786118075929892011-06-15T17:09:00.002-04:002011-06-15T17:16:03.191-04:00Wordless Wednesday - Blackberry Pickin'<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdopQIPVmdKRXCDTywsLDIg3mJbVTUmLzJ1Dus-JNoL2DRaZU6qGefu08m3nFvaZturuQJskZBCu8dw51JNWt1_EbwoFnQ7JrYFJJFJKSaT2Eo5rprObweoDFPthr7A5SbPihu_1jQWyeh/s1600/Summer+2011+022.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618557704068089874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdopQIPVmdKRXCDTywsLDIg3mJbVTUmLzJ1Dus-JNoL2DRaZU6qGefu08m3nFvaZturuQJskZBCu8dw51JNWt1_EbwoFnQ7JrYFJJFJKSaT2Eo5rprObweoDFPthr7A5SbPihu_1jQWyeh/s400/Summer+2011+022.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ubf98GpLyTLe8FG9VgbHlb1wYmPeByNhgBi-NHSWF49WcRkAukay8jAUxcgibBEiODOnA2pS51bBT3bpjQYK33qa3jU_Kc1sWZ_TxEw-x6AqC1a6ZXAEJBMc4IE4yx2tdyJI2CJu7o89/s1600/Summer+2011+020.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618557706042753698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ubf98GpLyTLe8FG9VgbHlb1wYmPeByNhgBi-NHSWF49WcRkAukay8jAUxcgibBEiODOnA2pS51bBT3bpjQYK33qa3jU_Kc1sWZ_TxEw-x6AqC1a6ZXAEJBMc4IE4yx2tdyJI2CJu7o89/s400/Summer+2011+020.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZhUT0Qx1ezAtd5JtZENbJn0CEZltdv-aM3Ce8XHNKf-V2735kNXolJS2fasjr_MeD1jliosa38O8ZDphNt2vPZMqfmYemcpofC_rXIZ8DkmAXOQW0J2i9aVIqdXaOpL2-Qw9-Wa6aT444/s1600/Summer+2011+024.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618557725419644594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZhUT0Qx1ezAtd5JtZENbJn0CEZltdv-aM3Ce8XHNKf-V2735kNXolJS2fasjr_MeD1jliosa38O8ZDphNt2vPZMqfmYemcpofC_rXIZ8DkmAXOQW0J2i9aVIqdXaOpL2-Qw9-Wa6aT444/s400/Summer+2011+024.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ubf98GpLyTLe8FG9VgbHlb1wYmPeByNhgBi-NHSWF49WcRkAukay8jAUxcgibBEiODOnA2pS51bBT3bpjQYK33qa3jU_Kc1sWZ_TxEw-x6AqC1a6ZXAEJBMc4IE4yx2tdyJI2CJu7o89/s1600/Summer+2011+020.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsAaxUvasfjmkLnT3bNWqUUENz7pXq0xtNuIjgDFlnpI_0-hH5e1tg4mrX2iz0l4vCC3Es7Lf1bDY9hV3Eg3Nq60Mt1ZKofhTSTKmsDhIcEuIg1bQ18SnqgVIsmVPofk4_NZv-2G_NFD5A/s1600/Summer+2011+023.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618557714772298242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsAaxUvasfjmkLnT3bNWqUUENz7pXq0xtNuIjgDFlnpI_0-hH5e1tg4mrX2iz0l4vCC3Es7Lf1bDY9hV3Eg3Nq60Mt1ZKofhTSTKmsDhIcEuIg1bQ18SnqgVIsmVPofk4_NZv-2G_NFD5A/s400/Summer+2011+023.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" />dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-81887463568375110342010-03-22T13:33:00.001-04:002010-03-22T13:35:10.047-04:00What Teachers MakeWhat Teachers Make, or<br />Objection Overruled, or<br />If things don't work out, you can always go to law school<br /><br />By Taylor Mali<br />www.taylormali.com<br /><br /><br />He says the problem with teachers is, "What's a kid going to learn<br />from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?"<br />He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about<br />teachers:<br />Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.<br /><br />I decide to bite my tongue instead of his<br />and resist the temptation to remind the other dinner guests<br />that it's also true what they say about lawyers.<br /><br />Because we're eating, after all, and this is polite company.<br /><br />"I mean, you¹re a teacher, Taylor," he says.<br />"Be honest. What do you make?"<br /><br />And I wish he hadn't done that<br />(asked me to be honest)<br />because, you see, I have a policy<br />about honesty and ass-kicking:<br />if you ask for it, I have to let you have it.<br /><br />You want to know what I make?<br /><br />I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.<br />I can make a C+ feel like a Congressional medal of honor<br />and an A- feel like a slap in the face.<br />How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best.<br /><br />I make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall<br />in absolute silence. No, you may not work in groups.<br />No, you may not ask a question.<br />Why won't I let you get a drink of water?<br />Because you're not thirsty, you're bored, that's why.<br /><br />I make parents tremble in fear when I call home:<br />I hope I haven't called at a bad time,<br />I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.<br />Billy said, "Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don't you?"<br />And it was the noblest act of courage I have ever seen.<br /><br />I make parents see their children for who they are<br />and what they can be.<br /><br />You want to know what I make?<br /><br />I make kids wonder,<br />I make them question.<br />I make them criticize.<br />I make them apologize and mean it.<br />I make them write, write, write.<br />And then I make them read.<br />I make them spell definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful, definitely<br />beautiful<br />over and over and over again until they will never misspell<br />either one of those words again.<br />I make them show all their work in math.<br />And hide it on their final drafts in English.<br />I make them understand that if you got this (brains)<br />then you follow this (heart) and if someone ever tries to judge you<br />by what you make, you give them this (the finger).<br /><br />Let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true:<br />I make a goddamn difference!

I just wanted to print the lyrics so everyone can read them and remember their is more to Christmas then present ans Santa!<br /><br />The Christmas Shoes lyrics<br /><br />It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another lineTryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood<br />Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiouslyPacing 'round like little boys do<br />And in his hands he held a pair of shoes His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe<br />And when it came his time to payI couldn't believe what I heard him say<br /><br />Chorus:Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please<br />It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size<br />Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time<br />You see she's been sick for quite a while<br />And I know these shoes would make her smile<br />And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight<br /><br />He counted pennies for what seemed like yearsThen the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"<br />He searched his pockets frantically<br />Then he turned and he looked at me<br />He said Mama made Christmas good at our house<br />Though most years she just did without<br />Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,<br />Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes<br /><br />So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out<br />I'll never forget the look on his face when he said<br />Mama's gonna look so great Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please<br />It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size<br />Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time<br />You see she's been sick for quite a while<br />And I know these shoes would make her smile<br />And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight<br /><br />Bridge:I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's loveAs he thanked me and ran outI knew that God had sent that little boyTo remind me just what Christmas is all about<br /><br /><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" />dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-24108646153554939132009-12-03T07:25:00.002-05:002009-12-03T07:32:05.536-05:00Store Owner Shows Robber Mercy UpdateI heard this story back in June of 2009. A Long Island convenience store owner confronted by a bat-wielding would-be robber said Tuesday he decided to show mercy on the man after he collapsed in tears claiming he was only committing the crime to support his starving family.<br /><br />Instead of getting loot from a stickup, the store owner provided the man with $40 and a loaf of bread, but only if he promised never to rob again.<br /><br />"This was a grown man, crying like a baby," Mohammad Sohail, owner of the Shirley Express convenience store about 65 miles east of New York City, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.<br /><br />The would-be thief dropped to his knees and begged for forgiveness, Sohail said.<br /><br />"He started crying that he was out of work and was trying to feed his hungry family," he said. "I felt bad for him. I mean, this wasn't some kid."<br /><br /><br />While watching the news this morning I heard this wonderful update!<br /><br /><br />The Shirley convenience store owner who made national headlines in June after surveillance cameras caught him showing mercy to a subdued would-be robber says he lives by a simple rule: "When you do good things, good things come back."<br /><br />So Mohammad Sohail said he was not surprised when he found a $50 bill and an apology note in the mail Wednesday.<br /><br />The note said the robber had a new baby, a new job and had turned his life around!<br /><br />There are so many stories of hate and violence. I thought it was great to hear a good ending for once.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" />dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-82750567524704933172009-11-11T18:24:00.001-05:002009-11-11T18:26:16.345-05:00Make Mine Freedom (1948)This Cartoon Seemed Far-Fetched In 1948 <br /><br /><br /><br /><p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mVh75ylAUXY&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mVh75ylAUXY&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" /><br /></p>dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-3056483572652678172009-10-07T13:38:00.004-04:002009-10-07T16:52:11.114-04:00Wordless Wednesday - Letting GO<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu0SvrjZctiTDIsKo6c-4Z_RQHaDny7L4CU1RkL1nGjFnRg63JsAWOw2SrR74Bb1_9URrxfgW5k8WYaGmnBmDrs8oF0xzz7KBL5xBhFF-iclkfo9v8DUW_Mw4LlT4CWjYiM5aFqSx1DKyM/s1600-h/Paige+Bennethum+and+Dad+soldier+hold+hand.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389913995214689474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu0SvrjZctiTDIsKo6c-4Z_RQHaDny7L4CU1RkL1nGjFnRg63JsAWOw2SrR74Bb1_9URrxfgW5k8WYaGmnBmDrs8oF0xzz7KBL5xBhFF-iclkfo9v8DUW_Mw4LlT4CWjYiM5aFqSx1DKyM/s400/Paige+Bennethum+and+Dad+soldier+hold+hand.jpg" /></a><br /><div>I had to share this picture I was sent today.

I LOVE being a stay at home mom. I love being able to be there when the kids get off the bus or volunteer at the school when they needed me. But recently I decided to go back to school. This was also an easy answer for me. I always said I would go back one day. I wanted a college degree. I wanted to prove to myself and my kids that i could do it. So this year when my youngest went to full day kindergarten, I decided to back and finish my degree.<br /><br />This past month has been so much fun. I have enjoyed sitting in lecture and participating in labs. I have learned so much interesting stuff and I have met some great people. Everything was going great. That is until this week. Monday night my oldest son got sick. We were up most of the night and he couldn't keep anything down. He stayed home from school on Tuesday. Luckily all my classes are on Monday, Wednesday and Friday so I didn't miss class.Then came to problem. He was not well enough to back to school on Wednesday and I had a major test that I could not miss. What was I to do? Luckily my Mom-in-law said she would keep him while I went to class to take my test.<br /><br />This whole problem was fixed and the day went on fine. But then I started feeling bad. I was feeling like I let my son down because I was not there to take care of him. I had to rely on someone else to take care of my son. It just got me rethinking this going back to school thing.<br /><br />Do I stay at home all the time for the chance that my children might need me? Is that fair for me? But is it fair to my kids to not have their mom whenever they need me? Then when I do graduate and get a job how will that change things? I could miss class if I had to but will I be bale to miss work every time the kids need me?<br /><br />This has just given me a lot of new things to think about. How do other working moms handle this stuff?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" />dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-74379014483719607982009-09-23T17:04:00.000-04:002009-09-23T17:06:16.884-04:00Wordless Wednesday - Meatball<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTrBrzyQ0MRawLfpIZGyvwnQebDU_83EzH5nnNwORfqumP6l1qS4KVgaa8JygJ7CQoid-AKf2PdUj_7_HBVFvvtoKj2k_EwJxwLxwomG9JXSNMvbijlh4DA8srMaZCSdtzeVthfYqDTWH/s1600-h/stephssphonee002.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384772070612361154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTrBrzyQ0MRawLfpIZGyvwnQebDU_83EzH5nnNwORfqumP6l1qS4KVgaa8JygJ7CQoid-AKf2PdUj_7_HBVFvvtoKj2k_EwJxwLxwomG9JXSNMvbijlh4DA8srMaZCSdtzeVthfYqDTWH/s400/stephssphonee002.jpg" /></a><br /><div><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" /></div>dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-34965474358275898712009-09-12T20:45:00.000-04:002009-09-12T21:27:13.628-04:00I'm Still HereWOW! I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. I have been so busy. As some of you might remember I have gone back to college to finish my degree. I am only going to class three days a week, but I have to do my normal household chores the rest of the time. Add in football practice and a vacation and that leaves me with NO free time. I am currently blogging while trying to watch a college football game.<br /><br />So school is going good, but it is keeping me really busy. My professors don't seem to care I have a family at home to take care of. It hasn't been that bad. It is just taking me a while to get used to juggling it all.<br /><br />Last weekend my kids and I flew to Cape Cod Massachusetts to surprise my grandfather with a big family reunion. We had family fly in from all over the country. Our last family reunion was in 1995. Since then many of us had married and had kids. It was so great to see everyone and my Grandfather was completely surprised. He had no idea.<br /><br />While I was there I got to visit one of my favorite town in the WORLD, Chatham, MA. It is such a beautiful town and ha not changed since I was a kid. Yes this is the same town that was visited by several Great White Sharks. We were actually at the lighthouse beach (where the sharks were spotted) during the time they were there. Luckily the water is too cold to swim in especially for us South Carolinians. Here are a few pictures from our trip to share with you and my family.<br /><br />I love you ALL and I had a GREAT time.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibaGR96e6ME9B4vDQ5F-jvGU36C2mExIq8uCx5n9o24XnqojtwKgozKIaKIyR_SKJUvKm7f9VEQZbTdS_2aWvB8n_S5eMSL_B5Y_4givbl_Cy7ZPAl_NgZ9wCtDqwtLGP4VgW4rHAPS74U/s1600-h/Cape+Cod+2009+076.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Well actually only my little girl got clothes <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">because</span> there were no cute girls clothes. But that is a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">completely</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">different</span> blog to be done on a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">completely</span> different day.<br /><br />Twice a year my little ole home town does a children's clothing resale. People all over town bring their clothes with little price tags on it to sell. Three days later you pick up your check.<br /><br />Well I wasn't going to miss out on some <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">great</span> deals. And great deals I did find. i got three pairs of shoes, 4 shirts, 5 dresses including a Christmas smocked dress, and two sweaters all for $60. I was happy.<br /><br />To top things off I made $128 selling my kids old stuff! What a great time!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg12JpFNzzANEUuYXXHk7iFDTsQCsDfgcAB0AUrJjR0G0FSHgBLWHh69n1wm41sVA5e8FqKK18jQj_56lrOCsiiUuVKCARskhi4jJBKd_sO0VwyaZPwodWY4DTsGRBbE0C8pGL12j9YelAP/s1600-h/Children's+Resale+005.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375727074702949970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg12JpFNzzANEUuYXXHk7iFDTsQCsDfgcAB0AUrJjR0G0FSHgBLWHh69n1wm41sVA5e8FqKK18jQj_56lrOCsiiUuVKCARskhi4jJBKd_sO0VwyaZPwodWY4DTsGRBbE0C8pGL12j9YelAP/s400/Children's+Resale+005.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83klPhDDg0WfmEEiRm9Eq_ej5uu7_DZuoTpHeJmtQOtyTiwIhyphenhyphenJ-gJzkIkshJSdOJ6f-kDYKimPc1Jq3O1N8rY5kxD0NIEwR9dHx_bFoESScEU9yogFaJtmvU1KjMGrYYyKsCtPyifHGD/s1600-h/Children's+Resale+004.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375727062915166530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83klPhDDg0WfmEEiRm9Eq_ej5uu7_DZuoTpHeJmtQOtyTiwIhyphenhyphenJ-gJzkIkshJSdOJ6f-kDYKimPc1Jq3O1N8rY5kxD0NIEwR9dHx_bFoESScEU9yogFaJtmvU1KjMGrYYyKsCtPyifHGD/s400/Children's+Resale+004.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5V9mCRm3KSIx_jiIFO5a6jyGLjH81HGx0peQHUaTc73D69R7xPl2MMGOuGyxI3p5WRLoQRIoOppk5EqwGVCr6EgCezyGzVzbGwHrlFzaNb6yMvzML8K2_glL6ebpb7Cd0lTmo0ySIUDnj/s1600-h/Children's+Resale+003.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375727053671966914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5V9mCRm3KSIx_jiIFO5a6jyGLjH81HGx0peQHUaTc73D69R7xPl2MMGOuGyxI3p5WRLoQRIoOppk5EqwGVCr6EgCezyGzVzbGwHrlFzaNb6yMvzML8K2_glL6ebpb7Cd0lTmo0ySIUDnj/s400/Children's+Resale+003.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fGNsL-gPEWyHC1lX8JKRU-kyAN0Lff4lCDWaqA9v1lTnYFx4JxdoU4TIQm6c39XP2e7NGN9Ur1XK32aiTxCQS6quOVZVov5teF9WONA4AZ_Dqs7gdpT2jtOIR4ObDp4KfoTaDu8oAdPS/s1600-h/Children's+Resale+002.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375727049967622194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fGNsL-gPEWyHC1lX8JKRU-kyAN0Lff4lCDWaqA9v1lTnYFx4JxdoU4TIQm6c39XP2e7NGN9Ur1XK32aiTxCQS6quOVZVov5teF9WONA4AZ_Dqs7gdpT2jtOIR4ObDp4KfoTaDu8oAdPS/s400/Children's+Resale+002.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFvxO97ibixlTj9DybkCpOih7eov-ouiVv_KpfbmJJi6TYU8o9nP0ii9rehumfQSbfYimlDqtOyBNw1qhfwgHf-0l4s4E5N3bBMneyDqqCdwkZwVDB5EFj88-rfVGfIIG5H2FY4aN7USs4/s1600-h/Children's+Resale+001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375727044318591954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFvxO97ibixlTj9DybkCpOih7eov-ouiVv_KpfbmJJi6TYU8o9nP0ii9rehumfQSbfYimlDqtOyBNw1qhfwgHf-0l4s4E5N3bBMneyDqqCdwkZwVDB5EFj88-rfVGfIIG5H2FY4aN7USs4/s400/Children's+Resale+001.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" /></div></div></div></div>dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-35105398614569152022009-08-30T08:12:00.000-04:002009-08-30T08:22:20.639-04:00Quotable SundayI have been reading some great Quotable Sunday pots lately and thought why should everyone else have all the fun. So this week I am going to give it a try. In honor of my first week back at school, some school quotes.<br /><br />The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson. ~Tom Bo<br /><br />If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers. ~Edgar W. Howedett<br /><br />I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. ~Mark Twain<br /><br />You can get all A's and still flunk life. ~Walker Percy<br /><br />Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. ~Albert Einstein<br /><br />If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. ~Attributed to both Andy McIntyre and Derek Bok<br /><br /><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" />dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-83077934159033083382009-08-26T18:26:00.000-04:002009-08-26T18:31:19.928-04:00Wordless Wednesday - Back to School<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVr0Y1ycNEqcdTQT2EBPNxrMXNq1M_Ah7LMAe3u16pFjOEikTQl9-v29_zCtCDMgRgfS7TOrN67IPo3DTj1A9_B2liCWQ-3jJVHJva6ejW-YqnUy1-1A_6akDE2aha7B16ZO9QRX2DVXfo/s1600-h/First+day+of+school+2009+005.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374402890831013874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVr0Y1ycNEqcdTQT2EBPNxrMXNq1M_Ah7LMAe3u16pFjOEikTQl9-v29_zCtCDMgRgfS7TOrN67IPo3DTj1A9_B2liCWQ-3jJVHJva6ejW-YqnUy1-1A_6akDE2aha7B16ZO9QRX2DVXfo/s400/First+day+of+school+2009+005.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div>I always take pictures of the kids on the first day so they decided I needed one on my first day back!

Now its my turn. Tomorrow will be my first day back to school in 8 years. I am going back to college to finish my degree. (And I am scared to death) I didn't think I was going to be this nervous, but I am. A lot has changed since I was last in school. The biggest thing to change is ME! I am now MARRIED and a MOTHER of THREE. Most of my classmates will be hurrying out of class to get a quick nap before the nights frat party. I will be hurrying home so I can get the laundry and dishes done before the kids get off the bus. I also have to find time to do my homework after I help my kids with theirs. What was I thinking? Why am I doing this? </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Why because I want to prove to my kids (and myself) that I can. I want to show my kids that they can do anything if they put their minds to it. I also want to be able to take care of my family if I ever have to. You can't support a family of 5 on a minimum wage job any more. And without a college degree that's about as good as I could do. My kids deserve better than that.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I can do this. It will be very different than most college experiences but maybe it will be better. I know what I want and I am there because I want to be. Wish me luck.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Oh I want to thanks my sister for hooking me up with new school supplies. When she heard I was going back to school she bought me a new backpack filled with notebooks, pencils, pens, highlighters and folders. Hoe cool is she? This totally made my day. THANKS SIS!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" /></div>dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-78100502271023656712009-08-20T06:54:00.000-04:002009-08-20T09:17:05.911-04:00Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!<div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mPIIMbG9R4w&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mPIIMbG9R4w&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Sorry Kids!</span> </p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"></p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center">PS I'm not really that excited about the kids going back. Now I have to get up at 6AM when all summer long I had been sleeping until 7:30 at least. I also will miss the kids. I am a stay at home mom and this is the first year I will have no kids all day long. Last year my daughter only went half day. But what am I going to do all day. I can only clean for so long every day. I am very excited for my kids though. They all seemed ready and eager to be back. I think it had to do a lot with seeing their friends again. My youngest is in Kindergarten. My middle son is in first grade (which = real school) and my oldest is a big time 3rd grader. </p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"></p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372033987292708706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTmG2szkOdv-p2adtLqFw4mYTYitLfc8BhbghCRKet6UtqQYQYIodilX47A9ZOEtZAROPZPbELmC2IgRrdwcu3MuMHSYNQYxO3eHpewoXMPXb-0UQtAMAn1lkbVwABagrqok-RgvYqT9eE/s400/IMG_3459.JPG" /><br /><p align="center"></p><p align="center">Happy First Day of School!<br /><br /><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" /><br /></p>dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-62896676940657439862009-08-19T06:30:00.000-04:002009-08-19T06:30:00.276-04:00Wordless Wednesday - Friends<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9DPU-WBD3JNuXsMJYSt8wMOn1HNF5RDNzIgjLZ0epsk-kKV_xgXy_7NRkI25VgG-cwnj9S1KsIG1UR6SvRfkcZHUarvsYCupFZA1fyIniE_Pf3Hgv4LJdEQM47nffEyHWSWdJh1SCBscy/s1600-h/IMG_3262.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363584812148421602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9DPU-WBD3JNuXsMJYSt8wMOn1HNF5RDNzIgjLZ0epsk-kKV_xgXy_7NRkI25VgG-cwnj9S1KsIG1UR6SvRfkcZHUarvsYCupFZA1fyIniE_Pf3Hgv4LJdEQM47nffEyHWSWdJh1SCBscy/s400/IMG_3262.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" /></div>dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-36481213264787187512009-08-16T06:35:00.000-04:002009-08-16T08:53:13.026-04:00Cash for Clunkers<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;"><strong>Before</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370542144416495618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3TdfgrjnDehFgGCBCBRaP0eGxJkZXST6yBUKf2tMHFO1dXVvCZwlH-IiHaJR3rPGG0-hyGJHsU-FSPyOWy8jleDBcfeFHDcz7TkscgzFIf4e9vRBaSI1UtxQ-zVUyO4fCKQ0usHqLiFtt/s400/IMG_3457.JPG" /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">After</span> </strong></div><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370542151782617858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAZz7UuJJNP7en4RiV0KSdxoenHWvoU7ly8Pjx7hAFTIzOYaPNb4E5GG-sUNcGXk-4MyPvWhIh3c1M7DQY2v4FDMuoE7IqK8FXeaJ0JbvyNLQxeo5BxpkhqajpoG9Mpmogv8dhEk30elB2/s400/IMG_3458.JPG" /><br />I proud new owner of a 2009 Nissan <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sentra</span>.

Not to mention it gets 33 mpg. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">That's</span> a big jump up from the van.

The boys were not so thrilled with the idea but me, the princess, my mom and sister were all so excited. The lessons were given by a man from the Hawaiian islands who travels to Myrtle Beach during the summer to perform. We had such a great time and learned some very interesting facts about life in Hawaii. I thought I would share some pics and a you tube video to help my teacher out. If you are ever in the Myrtle Beach area look him up! The song playing is the actual song we learned to Hula too. Each word in the song has a motion. That's how <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">people</span> in Hawaii told stories before they had paper. Very cool!<br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369218191767974738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZjJA1uM3OVVm-4_167mJEF_7h2cbCNod9J4mkS4TC1Kjbr-noDB9oMxgWLlscf7EKFqsXVkqDioIT4Hhyphenhyphen8UX55b9BIPFsSAjVuEVT4Lxy9qTb1DrHCG_A1B0xa306GsJbfsA8TL47ZIJL/s400/IMG_3430.JPG" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369218184764519954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsXmra3HqkC741VuX0ZnziOCjAWfLEA7bA9OEv37VL2iMC9nBoRcNjk0lDk-3l_x8Tc8f1fq4MTFiVRCx8wn6AmIDtJG4aryn3UC6rdImnJODXE5BxXPWoZCm7yhvzUh_dL5zFGW-US3nc/s400/IMG_3429.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369218175231878962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsBvslixI5N5RF85hUI5wvZNiu51KNqS8m8PcajhUJFf-Dy5ilMqdzscsMWZIbns6o4tynVSEjnNLAPeP35mjYNmegsEq2HjOuQ6YnEPimNH75FcF3rXu0FXyAscu76vr0gzFBWMb_O5sB/s400/IMG_3428.JPG" /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yTwV2UQjPV4&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><br /><br /><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yTwV2UQjPV4&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" />dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-17596064838699883122009-08-12T06:30:00.000-04:002009-08-12T06:30:01.752-04:00Wordless Wednesday - Papa's Hat<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmyWubPYUaugdNokjQav6VW9XAPBiYT2tEZyMuapj98qhERQn27j3J7VU2Q8kOF1holiQMyY56VqPJSUDVfRWC9xLY90blyjvWJ-o5WwlXEe-69Lk5Q2XwAS77fG8tZ_sFoPeVOSPgdSuu/s1600-h/0718090904a.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365189335768718786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmyWubPYUaugdNokjQav6VW9XAPBiYT2tEZyMuapj98qhERQn27j3J7VU2Q8kOF1holiQMyY56VqPJSUDVfRWC9xLY90blyjvWJ-o5WwlXEe-69Lk5Q2XwAS77fG8tZ_sFoPeVOSPgdSuu/s400/0718090904a.jpg" /></a><br /><div><img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/jennifertakala/staceyhuntersig.png" /></div>dood1ebugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17838297552576390689noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082393091891074473.post-57557487152666066902009-08-11T10:12:00.000-04:002009-08-11T10:40:17.269-04:00Build-A-Bear Birthday<div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368712923146203314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPGBlfODBEQaDEtbc0V4bcMmkas0CqvgxiGp_h9qNJIbFyUmleuM50kG3gBJpRpS1Vq-Z3LwllYWQTODkGnZN-kM5I5y1LAxIgYUz2Z4eYXP0c5T8Ad8k5OA22BXPFrP1NKVW3JPdciI1W/s400/IMG_3398.JPG" /><br /><div><div><div><div><div></div><div><br /><div>For my daughters 5th birthday we took a trip to Build-A-Bear.

I thought they would be too old or think it was girly but they kept on asking if they could get a bear of their own. Of course I gave in. Why not! Its only money. A lot of money.
