I have always know I have beautiful babies - not bragging, just fact. They have grown into beautiful kids - not bragging, just fact. I mean, how can you argue with me - even if I am a little biased!!

Such a slacker!
Man, I have been such a blog slacker! I never think about how long it has been between posts. We just get so busy with life - getting ready for school to end, baseball season, yard work, regular work. I know everyone has it - but I'm not busy with your life :)
Then we had the 6th grade musical - Dig it. All about the different civilizations they have learned about - Mesopotamia, Greece, China- I'm not sure what else.
And now, we patiently await Friday - the last day of school - 6th grade graduation, early dismissal and then party time. I am just looking forward to sleeping in and goofing around, at least for the first few days.

Tour de Cure
The second annual Dixon Family Tour de Cure ride is upon us! Yes we have decided to ride again in the tour. This year Betsy and I are bringing the whole family along and a few other family members and friends along. We have created a great team...Team BLOOD SUGAR DADDIES!! We would love your support, follow the link above for our friends/family team, keep in mind though that I am the only one listed, the rest of the family will be signed up by the end of the week. We are planning to ride for 25 miles. The ride is June 13th and wish us luck, some us will need it!

I'm done with this family!
I don't know about any of your families, but our family is full of 5 very passionate, very strong willed personalities. And lately, there has been an awful lot of clashing - especially when it comes to the children! I know, surprise, surprise. Lately it seems that they begin fighting with one anther the moment they wake up - I mean, literally - eyes pop open and the screaming and yelling commences! It gets especially testy in here when mom and dad are a little testy. I know, surprise, surprise.
Anyway, last Sunday as we were getting ready for church (which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be a peaceful and calming experience on our souls, but somehow we are missing it), Kent, who I swear has to be early, and me, who I swear has to be right on time or late...hence the testiness, were trying to get everyone ready to leave with as minimal amount of stress as possible. Jacob and Spencer began their usual rowdiness, this time fighting over the bathroom sink and the toothpaste - we are talking fisticuffs here. When all of a sudden there was a very loud squall "I'm am done with this family! So done!" and the pounding began.
Here is the trouble with things like this, neither Kent nor I could stop ourselves from laughing to really figure out if it was the whole family or just Spencer. It took us off guard. But it apparently made Jacob feel better just to scream it out.
The moral of the story - just let it out! When we get to our limit, just shout - I'm am so done with ...!you fill in the blank. I'll let you know how it works for me next time - you might even hear me shout it out!

Women of Strength
I know I am really behind on the blogging lately. Just know that our Christmas was really great! Thanks to everyone who sent us gifts, cards, loves, and prayers. We loved every one of them!
I guess I have had a rough day - stress, challenges, frustrations - so while I was checking out my friends blogs, I saw this video. It was such a great reminder to me of all my sisters and friends. How lucky I have always been to have their support and strength. They have always helped me on my rough days, have made me laugh so hard I almost wet my pants, sing Mama Mia so loud and even get up and dance! Thanks to all of the strong women in my life. Thanks for loving me no matter how nasty I am when in need of a little sugar (or applebee's apple crisp - ha ha). I love you all!
So, take a look and yeah, I did cry (big shock, I know).
