Ark Time

2007-07-06T14:26:00.000-06:00

Yeah, I think I'll go out and build me an ark this afternoon. My God, it's rained and rained and rained and rained and rained and.... yeah, you get the idea. Gotta love southeast Texas weather. My aunt told me we've only had 6 days of no rainy days in June. Good Lord! Please stop the rain. My kids need fresh air, they need to go out side and PLAY. They neeeeeed to leave me ALONE!

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP! lol

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

2007-07-04T00:26:00.001-06:00

Another year older. :) Yay! ;) More birthday cake and ice cream!

So I totally suck, I haven't blogged on this in 3 months nearly. GESH! I've just been super duper busy scrapbooking and all that jazz.

Let's see, and update. At the end of May, on Memorial Day weekend we went on our vacation. Got that out of the way for the summer. ;) Then a few weeks later the kids and I spent the week with my mom. The kids had a good time doing that. I've done lots and lots of scrapbooking and I think that's about it I think.

I'm an old lady now and I should be getting to bed. haha! ;) I'll try to be good and update regularly.

busy busy!

2007-04-23T18:47:00.000-06:00

Goodness, it's been busy lately.

Easter was great!!! We all got up and went to Church. As soon as we got home, my mom, brother and aunt where here. They JUST started to get out of their cars. Talk about good timing. :) We had our Easter BBQ then hunted eggs. We actually got to hunt outside. It was suppose to rain, but it turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL day. :) It was my brother's birthday was well, so he opened his presents and then we had strawberry shortcake. After everyone left, the kids went next door to Chad's uncles house for the big egg hunt with all the little kids in the family. Saira ended up with 2 prize eggs and Ryan got 1. But they ended up with lots of candy from the egg hunt over there. We've also been super busy with T-Ball games and practice. Ryan is SOOO awesome! Saira's doing good. I'm suprised with her bating. She does way better than I expected. Everyone on our team is sooo good! She plays catcher and Ryan's 1st baseman. He's the best ball catcher on the team. We've had 3 games. 1st game we kicked ass and took names...LMAO But our second game, our poor pitcher lost it. He couldn't win for losing, the poor guy. Tonight we had our 3rd game. We were close to winning but the other team had the ball last and got 2 runs in at the last second. But OHHHH MY GOSH, Ryan did a BAD ASS catch! The whole field, both teams parents were raving over Ryan's catch. They were all talking about it when they were leaving still. THAT'S MY BOY!!!!! ;) (proud MAMA!!!!)

I'll have to post some pictures from their games. Maybe I'll upload a video clip for ya'll to see. :)

So other than games, that's about it for us. We have some cool events coming up. Friday is the Elementary's anual Bobcat Relay's (track and filed stuff). And then in a couple of week the school is going to the Houston Zoo again.

Tell the story about your first memorable Easter!

Let me think here a minute, I've had 30 of them so far...LOL .............ok, seriously, I'm having a hard time remembering my first memorable Easter. I know them from pictures that I've seen, but I can't recall them from memory. The first memorable that's popping in my head is an Easter from when I was like 10 or so. But it wasn't a good one. My dad was being an asshole that day. It was really a terrible day. :( The only bad Easter I've ever had.

Well there was this time before that, when I was 8 I believe. I got all dressed up for Chruch. My grandma made my dress, it was soooo pretty! She even made a matching dress for my cabbage patch. She always made matching outfits for my cabbage patch. ;) But I remember that year being my brothers birthday. He had 2 easters before he turned 1...LOL

And now this year, Easter is on his birthday. So this year will be special.

Another year, when I was much older. Probably 18 or 19 years old. I dressed up as an Easter Bunny. OMG, take it from me, don't ever do that. WOOOOOF, it was so freak'n hot in that costume. I feel so sorry for Mascots. It's HOOOOOOT! BUT, it was sooooo much fun, and so rewarding to see those sweet little kids admire the Easter Bunny (me). My cousins worked for a party company, where they would dress up as characters....they suckered me into being the bunny. Very special moment indeed!

What a day

2007-03-25T17:55:00.000-06:00

This morning Chad and I were woken up by a phone call around 8:30. A really good friend of his from work (a job from 5 years ago or so) called and said his mom passed away. She had a massive heart attack. Everyone in my county probably knew the woman if they saw her face. She was one of the ladies ALWAYS at walmart doing the free samples of stuff. It will be weird not seeing her there anymore. She was 80 years old. Well anyways, he wants Chad to be a paul bearer tomorrow. Chad told him of course he'll be there. So we got up, kids ate and then we headed to Houston so we could go buy Chad a new pair of slacks and a black polo, oh and a white one too. Before we shopped we ate lunch and since it was directly across the street from my aunts house we called her and told her she had to come join us for lunch...LOL Then we came home. By then it was time for Chad and I to do our Fantasy Baseball drafts. He went to the viewing awhile ago and he's already on his way home. That's been our day. While he was gone, I cooked dinner. So when he gets home we can eat.

Let me add, I'll be glad when it's bed time for the kids. They're driving me CRAZY. LOL

He's so excited!

2007-03-23T20:19:00.000-06:00

Today Ryan had an eye appointment. The dr. says he needs glasses. So he picked out the cutest pair of glasses. I can't wait til next week when they come in. I'll have pictures for you when he gets them.

1st Dentist Visit

2007-03-19T15:06:00.000-06:00

Today was Saira's first time to the dentist. She did great!!! I was so proud of her. I knew she'd be fine with it. Ryan was scared to death and I'm sure he still is. His dentist was horrible! They made me cry, they way the treat kids. :( But my dentist was great with Saira. She had her teeth cleaned and did xrays. But those didn't turn out. She couldn't keep her little motor mouth still long enough for the xrays to come out right. She was all excited about seeing her teeth on the computer there. But maybe next time. LOL, she wouldn't stop asking questions.

So here she is about to get her xrays. The assistant went to get the xray vest for Saira....

And here she is getting her teeth cleaned. She had already gotten her new toothbrush and toothpaste...

And here she is getting her teeth looked at by Dr. Rashall. She likes him alot!! :)

She came home with new toothpaste, toothbrush and dental floss. She thought that was SOOO cool. And she got to get a toy from the treasure chest. :)

Darn Kid!

2007-03-16T09:41:00.000-06:00

For Christmas Ryan got a cool lamp. It's a Car's alarm clock lamp. So when it was time to go back to school after the Christmas break, I thought I'd set his alarm. To my suprise, the first day back, he was up and dressed before I was up. Because I set his alarm about 10 minutes before mine. I didn't know if it would wake him or not. He was loving it. Here we are after Spring Break now and he just gets up, turns it off and goes back to bed. UGH! It's been driving me CRAZY!!

This morning, he finally did right. He woke up, turned it off and started getting dressed when I walked in his room. :)

Yay Ryan!

She's SOOO ready!!!

2007-03-14T21:36:00.000-06:00

Saira is totally ready for school now. She's wanting to go to Ryan's class all the time.... "to check it out", so she says. She's talking about wanting to go to school ALL the time. And we have at least 5 months til she can go...LOL I can't wait to take her school clothes shopping. This child loves to shop. Just the other day, we were in a shoe store. I was looking for a pair of Tommy sandals, and found them right off the bat. But Saira had to 'shop' as well. She tried on shoes for 15 minutes....NO LIE!! So school clothes shopping should be real interesting, don't you think? lol

What littlest thing bugs you the most?

That's a tough one!! Lately, I'd have to say Chad and the kids not picking up after themselves. OHHH, I got it. It's when Chad washes his hands at the kitchen sick, and uses my dish soap. And leaves it facing the wrong direction. Erks me to no end. LOL And he knows it.

Doesn't last forever

2007-03-06T23:14:00.000-06:00

Some things don't last forever do they?

Yesterday evening, my dryer quit working....right in the middle of drying. That sucked!!! My washer and dryer is 9 1/2 years old. I guess we got our money's worth out of it, huh?

This morning when I got up, I noticed that Chad had gotten online to look at prices. And around 8:30 he had me go to Sears and buy us a new one. They delivered it for us, around 4:30. And I've been doing laundry ever since. :)

We got the same exact thing as our old one.

T-Ball Time

2007-03-05T21:04:00.000-06:00

Tonight was practice. Saira's FIRST practice. She was all jazzed up about it. I had to go to a local sporting goods store to get her a helmet. Academy didn't have one to fit her. And Walmart didn't have any either. They only had one-size-fits-all helmets. But I finally found one!! :) Can't wait to show you pics of her. I'll wait til they get their baseball shirts. She did great at practice. She did wonderfuly listening to her coach. She likes him alot!! She keeps going on and on about Coach Mike. She was acting up and not wanting to eat her dinner tonight, and Chad told her he was going to let Coach Mike know about it and she said "NO NO, I'm gonna eat!!!!" So it looks like we have something new to use...LOL hehe!!!

Ryan did awesome as always. My little pro!! Him and one other kid, was hitting the ball to the fence. There is only 2 or 3 kids on the team that are previous players from the last several years. Ryan being one of them. So wish our team luck. With all our newbie little kids. ;)

Spring Break

2007-03-04T23:45:00.000-06:00

Yay! I'm so glad it's Spring Break! That means I get to sleep in for a week!! Yay!!! We don't have any Spring Break plans. Well, actually we did, but that didn't work out. We were going to Lake Sommerville to go fishing for the weekend, but they are booked. Bummer!! :( Maybe we can plan ahead better next year for Spring Break. So far we've done LOTS of shopping. We went to the movies and saw Norbit. We bought new cell phones, it was time for an upgrade in December, but Christmas got us. LOL Then Jan. was Saira's b-day. So no phones for us until now. :) Let's see, Chad got a whole bunch of new clothes, a new pair of shoes and I don't know what else. The kids got $350 worth of baseball stuff. They are good to go for the season. :) Oh and we got them a few outfits since it's decided to be warm now.

So we've had a busy busy weekend. Time to relax the rest of the week!!

Today's Excitement

2007-03-02T00:54:00.000-06:00

haha, wasn't much of anything. We went shopping. Went to 2 shoe stores, and found me a pair of Tommy sandals. :) A girl can't have enough....right? ..............right???????? Please say yes, or I have a huge problem here...lmao!!! Well, then we ate lunch. After that, we spent 2 hours in Wal-Mart getting groceries and stuff. Came home, unloaded, put away and Ryan got home. I let him play his playstation for a little bit after he did his homework. Then I had to go back to town, for the second time. Chad wanted KFC for dinner. I wasn't about to buy dinner at 2:30 when I came home from shopping. LOL So we went at 5:30. So it would be nice and hot when he got home. :)

Then it was time for AI. Ummm, yeah, that was just crazy. And that's all I have to say about that. lol!!! ;) ;)

Now, the kiddos are in bed and Mary's talking my head off, or should I say we are listening to the air over the phones, while I type this out. HAHA!!!!! ;) LOL ;)

MO Challenge #2

2007-03-01T10:03:00.000-06:00

If you were given $100 RIGHT NOW for you to go buy whatever you want, on yourself, where would you spend it and on what?

I'd go to Hobby Lobby and get all kinds of great scrapbooking stuff. I could use some ribbon, fibers, eyelet setter, more yummy papers and whatever else my heart desires. :) That would be lots of fun!!

Can I make a wish?!?

2007-02-28T21:05:00.000-06:00

Tonight Saira was being her cute self. She came up to me and asked me, "Mommy, can I make a wish for something?" I said "Well sure you can, what would you like to wish for?" And she said, "Well, I can't yet, I don't have a dandylion in my hand." I thought, awwww, that's so cute!!!! I asked her, "so you can blow it to make a wish on?" and she said, "yes Mommy".

CUTE!!!!

First Kiss...

Ahhhhh, my first kiss. I totally remember it like it was yesterday. I was 14 years old. I was walking home from my best friends house. (some of you might remember her, Carol. I use to have her post on the message board a few years back) Anyways, it was her, her brother and his best friend, who was my boyfriend.... John Nelson. He was so hot. He had long hair! Our walk to my house was like a mile or 2. There was an empty desert between our neighborhoods (I lived out in CA). We stopped half way and he just took me in his arms and gave me the best kiss. I was on cloud nine. Not really sure how I managed to get home. LOL

Been FOREVER!!!!

2007-02-19T23:00:00.000-06:00

Gawwww! It's been like a month....hahaha!!!! My bad! Not that anything excitings going on.

Saira's birthday was a blast. Her tea party was perfect!

Ryan's doing good in school. I was incharge of his Valentine's party. It turned out great. I'll be incharge of the Easter party too. :)

Haven't really scrapped as much as I've wanted. A few weeks ago everyone was sick. So that didn't help.

This past weekend I threw my Sister In Law a baby shower. I'm finally having a nephew. He still has a few more months until arrival. I think I'll have to kidnap him a few times and then give him back to mommy. HEHE, best part about being the aunt right? Her shower turned out great though.

So I guess you can say I've been busy with Party's.... Saira's, then Ryan's class party and now my SIL's shower. I have another shower to plan. Should be in June I think.

Anywho, I can't think of anything else. I'll try to update ya again next month... haha ;)

What a crazy week...

2007-01-19T07:51:00.000-06:00

Well, start off the week with MLK day. Ryan was off from school. Chad was busy getting a new job. But he was home by lunch time. Then Tuesday school was called off due to the Artic Blast that was coming through. Chad went to work for the morning, the roads were actually safe enough for him to travel where he needed to go. They were sent home before the roads and weather got to extremly bad. So he was home by lunch. LOL Then Wednesday, we didn't send Ryan to school. The weather was still pretty bad. Chad didn't go to work at all that day. So we were all home the whole day. Finally, Thursday, Chad and Ryan go to work and school. Saira and I go battle through all the rain and drizzle to get the grocery shopping done. BUT, Chad was home by lunch time again. This time he was rained out.

....we'll see what happens today...LOL....

Most Proud!

2007-01-15T10:41:00.000-06:00

I am most proud of my husband. This morning he passed the test that he had to take to get this new job that him and his friend found. He studied all weekend for the NCCER Test. He was so nervious about it. But I knew he'd do fine. He called me at 10am and told me he was already done and that he passed it. He's an Instrumentation Fitter in the construction field.

Janette, thank you for the good luck wishes on Saturday. :)

Mmm Tea!!!

2007-01-14T12:49:00.000-06:00

Last night I tried some of the raspberry tea that I bought for Saira's tea party. I boiled some water, poured it over the tea bag, watched it brew and then added a dalup up honey along with a spoon of sugar. Mmmmm, it was sooooo good, hot, and comforting. I think I've turned into an herbal tea drinker...LOL

This afternoon, I made a cup of the peach tea.

Mmmmmmm!!!

You're My Best Friend!

2007-01-08T09:07:00.000-06:00

Awwwwwwww!!!

Saira asked me the other day if I was her best friend. I said of course!! Then she said, "You're my best friend and I'm your best friend, forever and ever!!!" Awww, my heart melted right then and there. So sweet!!!!

Scrappin' Day

2007-01-06T23:35:00.000-06:00

Today was a scrapbooking day for me. I gathered up all my things and made 7 pages while watching tv with Chad and the kids. If you want to see any of the layouts, they are on my scrapbooking blog.

But other than my scrappin', it was a lazy day around here. The kids had a great time playing with each other. Chad tried to take them out to play at the football field and the baseball field, BUT it was just to wet. I think the kids were disappointned. They were really looking forward to hitting the baseball around. But maybe next weekend, if it doesn't rain.

Glooooooom!

2007-01-03T17:28:00.000-06:00

Gesh, Winter!!! It's looked soooo nasty today. It's tried real hard to rain. But I think tomorrow is going to be the yucky day. It's suppose to rain and thunderstom ALL day. All day on my shopping day. I was planning on taking Saira to get her pictures done while I was out. So hopefully it won't be to bad.

I am most proud of myself. I've done several loads of laundry. I think I can walk in the laundry room again...nearly...HAHA!!! When Ryan got home from school, him, Saira and I played CandyLand. I think they are going to burn me out on that game, and we've only played 3 games since yesterday when it was opened...LOL Chad has to play tonight...HAHA!! ;)

I suppose I could post some pictures from Christmas. I might do that later tonight.
