Man! All I've done is myspace stuff the last 2 days...LOL

Pink Barbie Gun

Saira has been asking for a Pink Barbie Gun for about a year and a 1/2 probably. But ummm, hello, they don't make such a thing. This all came about cause Ryan always likes to get those toy guns from Wal-Mart. I'd always tell Chad he needs to go buy one and paint it pink and put barbie stickers on it...LOL It's never happened though...LOL

Well, the other day Chad's grandpa called and told Chad that he'd be buying all the boy grandkids small shotguns to keep and remember him by since he's now 70. He figured they could pass them on to their family when they got older. Well last night he calls Chad back to tell him that Ryan's has been ordered because he got him a bigger size gun than the other boys since Ryan's been practicing and is good now. Or something like that, I don't know...LOL So he asked what Saira would like, cause they don't want to leave the girls out. The girl gifts probably wouldn't be as special though. Well, me and Chad just jokingly told them about the pink barbie gun thing. And Grandpa and grandma went nuts, they said they saw one, a pink that is...LOL They said they were on their way to go buy it right then. And they did!! They stopped by late last night and gave her the pink gun. She was so excited!! It was such a special moment. I nearly wanted to cry. Cause Chad's family is such big hunters. So I ran and grabbed my camera. But the damn lense fogged up...LMAO So some of them didn't turn out perfect.......

Fun Party

We had sooooo much fun! Chad was funny as always. He had toys hanging from the front of his pants and everyone died laughing. I was so glad he stayed home last night. So he could entertain everyone...LOL I served penis pasta with alfredo sauce...LOL...with other goodies. And I made some really good margarita's. I was most proud of them. :)

Eyebrows

Ok, so I'm sitting here at my desk talking with JavaMama on the phone. Saira comes up to me with a pencil and says "Mommy, I wanna do your eyebrows." I looked at her like she was crazy and said no...LOL Then she turns back around and has a white label in her hand. The ones you print on. And she says, "MOMMY! I wanna do your eyebrows!!" I looked at her crazy again and said, "OHH HELL NO girl!". She's lost her mind, wanting to do my eyebrows. Poor kid has seen me get my eyes done way to many times I guess.

That was cute though huh?

Nights

Chad starts working nights tonight. So he's sleeping and Saira and I have to be quiet. Which means no vacuuming. But I think her and I will go to town. I need to go to the bank anyways. We might get some lunch or something.

Ali - OMG! You are sooooo awesome! Thank you thank you for posting that recipe for me. I forgot to write down walnuts and white chocolate chips on my grocery list yesterday. Soooo, I think I'll grab those today. Mmmmm, that dessert is sooooo good!!

Ooooomg! just as I was typing my SIL stops by. She needs me to watch her 1 1/2 year old daughter. Ohhhhh great!!! She has to go to work. And has no one to watch her. Lovely, and here I have Chad and his friend sleeping here cause they have to work tonight and it's their 1st night. So they are having to transition.

OMG, CRAVING BAD!!!

My aunt took me to Applebee's a few weeks ago and she wanted me to try their fried chicken salad. OMG ya'll. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! It comes with a honey mustard dressing that is to die for!!



And we shared this.... Heaven on a plate! It's their Maple Butter Blondie. I wish I knew how to make it. It's a blondie brownie baked with pecans and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chopped walnuts. And covered later with a warm rich sizzling maple butter sauce. I wanna know how to make that sauce! Mmmmmmm!!! HELP, anyone know??

An Update

My mom is much better now. Her toe is still bad, but it is soooo much better. She says she's feeling a whole lot better.

Saira is all better. But Chad ended up with it and he can't seem to shake it. I had to pick Ryan up after lunch because he threw up. He hasn't done it since, thank goodness. I was bad for a day, that was Sunday.

All Better

Saira is all better now. I took her to the doctor on Wednesday. I swear it was a waste of $50. But then again, things happen that way. I was telling Chad last night, that I'm sure if I wouldn't have taken her she'd still be puking. It's like when you finally ask a question for help and before that person can help you get it figured out. KWIM? LOL So anyways, yesterday was a puke free day. I think Wednesday was too, I can't remember now...LOL My days are running together. I was still a little worried about taking her out yesterday to go shopping cause I didn't want puke in my truck. YUCK! But thank the Lord, everything was fine and dandy.

On to other news...

My mom isn't doing good. I think it was July 17th she had toe surgery to repair her pinkie toe. All was well until she had to return back to work on Aug. 7th. Remember she's a bus driver. Well, infection was settling in. And it was getting worse and worse as the week went on. Come Friday the 11th she couldn't take the pain anymore. And Sunday she had passed out and her b/f had to take her to the emergency room. Come to find out she was in critical condition. :( She was back home on Tuesday I think. She has to stay off of her feet. And there is no telling when she'll get to go back to work. :(

My 1st Crop

Today I went to my first crop and I had so much fun. I really didn't get much done. I had to leave early because Saira got sick again. Chad was napping and she ended up sick, all over the place. Guess he learned his lesson...lol But anyways, I got 3 layouts done. I didn't complete the journaling on one of them though.


The ice cream cone I made with big circle punches. That was so fun!! It was my friends idea. She went crazy when she saw my ice cream cone picture and gave me the idea for the paper ice cream cone. She's to nifty!!


And I just HAD to get this page made. I've been waiting all summer for this page...LOL

And I couldn't post the third pic. Damn blogger...GRRRR!

First Day of School

Today was Ryan's first day of school. Yesterday we went up to the school to check the list, to see which teacher he'd have. I was probably the most excited parent around. Ryan's new teacher was to be the mother of his Pre-K teacher. AWESOME AWESOME!!! I love those ladies. His Pre-K teacher became a really good friend of mine the year before last. I was disappointed last year when he didn't get the Pre-K teachers sister. So anyways, it's the first day of school and all went well. I got up, got him ready and had time to spare. I wasn't able to fix him his pancake breakfast like I always do for the first day of school. Saira became sick yesterday with throwing up. Chad stayed home infact, for a few reasons. Mainly because his car broke down yesterday. Go figure huh? Just our luck, broken down car and sick daughter. UGH! But anyways, he stayed home with Saira while I took Ryan to school. He's diffinately become a big boy and a 1st grader. We walked in, found his desk and he told me, "Ok mama, I love you, byeeeeee" and gave me a big hug. I was like, UHHHH, I wanna stay a few minutes....LOL So I stayed in the hallway so I could speak with his teacher. I wanted to get a picture of them together for my scrapbook. :) So here's a picture for ya... (for some reason, I'm only able to upload 1 pic in my last two posts. :( )

Awesome Family Trip!

We had such a great time! We went to Sea World which was a blast! The kids enjoyed seeing all the dolphins, seals, whales and other animals sooo much. We first watched the dolphin show. And opppps, we sat in the splash zone...LOL We were soaking wet, big time!! It was GREAT!! Chad rode a little kid roller coaster with Ryan. Saira was mad because she wanted to ride. But we couldn't go at the moment, cause I had to hold my purse, his hat and my camera. And I wanted to take their picture. But she got mad about it...LOL We spent the whole day there at Sea World. The next day we went to the Alamo. Ryan got himself a new toy riffle gun. He's like all in heaven over that toy...LOL We sat and listened to a disortation on the history of the Alamo for just a little bit and then headed on over to the Riverwalk. We got on the boat and rode the 2 mile ride. Saira was loving it. She thought that was soooo cool. As you ride, the tour guide tells you all about the history of San Antonio and the Riverwalk. When we were done, it was just past lunch time and we headed over to our next distination, The Buckhorn Saloon. It's a historical Saloon, restuarant, musuem and wax figure display. That place was WAY To darn cool!!! Chad and Ryan were on cloud 9 in that place. After we spent a few hours there, we went to our hotel room and rested for a little bit. Saira even took a nap...LOL Early in the evening we left for the other side of San Antonio to go to the Natural Bridge Caverns. It was a 75 minute hike/tour. I think we ended up 300 some odd feet down in the ground. It was so neat minus the part where we sweated our butts off, literally...LOL I had been there before when I was a kid and I swear, it was NOT that hot in the cavern. We were so pooped after that hike. We stopped and had dinner and went on back to our room. We managed to do everything we wanted to do and was able to head home Sunday morning. But our trip wasn't over. We had to stop and have Starbucks on the way home...LOL

Family Vacation Time

We're off to San Antonio. That's about a 3 1/2 hour drive and as soon as we get there we're going to Sea World. I've had Sea World scrapbooking stickers for over a month now...LOL Got'em at Hobby Lobby, when I went with my mom just after I started scrapbooking a few months ago...LOL Chad said we were gonna do it this summer, so I saw those stickers and thought....HEY, I'll need those...LOL We're also going to visit the Alamo. I can't believe it, but Chad has never been to San Antonio which means he hasn't visited the Alamo. So he's excited about that. I'm sure alot or most of you don't know what the Alamo is....unless you watched the movie. ;) They also have the Riverwalk that goes through San Antonio. It's a small river and they have small boats you ride and it takes you past ALOT of historical places and the Mall and many other shops. It's a really neat thing. Saira's excited about that part. But of course we are doing Sea World too. That's the only thing I haven't been to before. Chad and the kids haven't done any of this stuff though. So I'm real excited to see how they enjoy all these things I did as a kid. ;)
