This is the funniest movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!! I have not laughed that hard in a long time!!!!!! Great Movie!!!!! I can not wait to buy it!!!!!

Emma and Nicolas

Ok so here is my son Nicolas, who is 3 and Emma, my friend Yvonne's daughter who is 3. Nicolas would not stop touching her! He loved her! Daddy needs to teach him that he can't just kiss the girls whenever he wants!!!!!!!!! LOL! He is so affectionate though! We call him our snuggle bug! Anyway Emma was a good sport! They even pinched each others noses and just laughed and laughed! They were so cute together! I had a nice lunch with Yvonne and my mom and all the kids! It went too fast, but CKU is just around the corner!!!!!!! Can't wait!

HOME............

I'm home..........but I'm tired........so so so tired. Will post pics of Virginia today didn't get any of San Antonio, we were too busy. Anyway off to catch up on things. Woke up real early to take my Mom to the airport!

Home for a day......

So I'm home for a day before I leave tonight for San Antonio. I have a zillion things to do!!!! Guess I better go and get ready! I had an AWESOME lunch with my friend Yvonne in Virginia. I will post pics later. Our kids were so cute together. I wished we lived closer so they could play and be friends!!!!! They were the cutest, nicest kids ever!!!! Emma is such a little cutie!!!!! Ok I know that's easy for me to say! I know how it is with a three year old! But She is a great mother cause her kids reflect that!!!! Anyway I wish I lived closer so we could scrap together!!!!! Ha anyway, had a nice time in Virginia.....it went too quick! We went to the lake and shopped and played in the playhouse..... we even slept in it one night.....well the kids slept......I think I just laid there! I'll post pics later!!!!! I've got a lot of updating to do! Have a great day!!!!!!

I'm leaving.....

Ok so I might not blog tomorrow cause I'm driving to Virginia. It takes about nine hours to get there. No biggie....I leave real early so the kids sleep a little and don't fight! No they are pretty good. I usually have to go potty before they even wake up then I have to force them out of the van! The DVD Player is a God sent! They are all happy if a movie is going. I'm packing sandwiches and veggies and dip and a few other snacks in the cooler tht way I do not have to stop! Wish me luck! The kids are so excited! I hope they sleep! Anyway I'm off to check how far Bumpass is from Roanoke so I can maybe hook up with my bud Yvonne! I would love to see her and it would be nice for our kids to meet or maybe Grandma can watch the kids while I go alone! YAY!!! That's an idea! Anyway Hope everyone has a great week and I'll update ASAP! My mom has a MAC computer.....hope I can figure it out!

Beach Boy...

So I had a hard time with this LO! I had a lot of great Textures on it then took it off cause it just didn't work so the I came up with this! I didn't have the fish strip on the bottom at first then I added it this AM cause I felt like it needed some kind of defining line......... I don't know if it helped or hurt it????? Don't really care cause I'm not liking this one at all! Oh well I'm done with all the Challenges now!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!

Was up way to late for me!!!!! I get a headache when I stay up too late! So off to clean bathrooms today. Yup you guessed it cleaning again!!!! I feel like Cinderella........always cleaning. Trying to leave the house clean for hubby while the kids and I got to Va. cause I'm bringing Grandma back with me. Hopefully he can keep the house clean for a week! He'll do fine....I hope he remembers to feed the dog and fish!!!!! Anyway off to pack and clean.

And why is it I have these great ideas to scrap and this great stuff to use and I have no time to do it? By the time I get back from Va. and Texas I'll have no Mojo!!!!!! Oh well! Everyone Have A Great Day!!!!!

Well it's 1:30 and I'm going to bed! I've been up scrapbooking! Didn't get much done and not happy with it....but I'm getting ready to leave for Va. so my mind is not in it! Well I'll post a pic tomorrow and write more! Good Night!!!!

Grandma and Grandpa's play house

Ok so Grandma and Grandpa built this little house in two weekends basically!!!!! IT's not completely done....still need to stain the beams in front and add a little railing on the front porch. But holy Moly isn't it cute!!!!!!! The pics make it look not level but trust me it is.......it was built on the side of their moutain they live on!!! LOL!!!!! The inside even has a little loft for them to go up in!!!!!! The kids can't wait to go play in it!!!!!! My Dad just sat that sign there for looks.....it was from etoys when he built it. Doesn't he look pooped??? Go Grandma and Grandpa!!!!!!

Water Boy

Here is a pic of Boo Boo the "Water Boy"!!!!! Last week in the pool.

Today!

Happy Monday!!! Well DH is off to work and I'm cleaning again! You would think my house was a mess with all the cleaning I do......but it's not.........with four kids.....I'm always cleaning! One takes a bath and then I clean!!!!!! One makes breakfast.....then I clean!!!!! They are in the girls room cleaning it up. Clean clean clean......I clean a lot! I actually hate doing it but I like a clean house!
Anyway I'm getting excited about CKU in Orlando!!!!!!! We created a Dorm with a bunch of ladies who are going and we are getting excited. We have a cheer and are working on costumes and decorations!!! Yay!!!!!
I actually worked on a LO last night. Almost done. Not that happy with it but I'm not done tweeking it yet.....so we'll see. It's for the last challenge on LPS. I've been working hard on these challenges!!!!! I don't think I'll win....but I can't say that I didn't give it my absolute best effort!!!! Anyway it's been fun and a challenge for me every week to come up with these LO's. I'm taking a class on WT and it's been great so far........hopefully I can keep up with it. Life gets crazy sometimes. When the kids go back to school it gets nuts around here. Ali will be taking 3 dance classes this year! Thank goodness they are all on the same night. She is old enough now I can leave her and not go in with the other 3 kids and wait on her. Now Isabelle I have to go in with her. Thankgoodness my kids are pretty good while we wait. I'm not sure when scouts starts, but Boo can't wait to go back to that. At least this year they all three go to the same school!!!! Yay!!!! I can drop them all off together and pick them all up together!!!! Anyway got to start packing for Va. The kids can't wait to go see Grandpa's play house he built them!!!! Maybe I'll post a pic of it. Gotta see if I kept them! Enough rambling for now........

So I was tagged and have to give seven Random facts about me and then tag seven people.....

1. I don't know seven people who have a blog to tag!....(sorry I have no life)
2. My kids are my world. I love them and enjoy every second with them. Now that they are getting older it is so much fun!
3. I have a heart of Gold! I would do anything for a friend and not think twice or want anything in return. I think people in this world have forgotten how to give and I don't mean material things I mean give friendship and time!
4.I miss some of my childhood friends.........not many, just a select few! Most I'd like to forget actually, but a few I miss and wish I lived closer to visit them!
5.I love to Scrapbook, there just aren't enough hours in the day for me to scrapbook! I have a zillion pics I need to get in albums!! I'm not that great at it, but I do it for my kids so when my daughter looks at it and says"that's cool Mom!" then I know I did my job! Their approval is all I need! It makes me Happy!
6.I sleep with a nightlight! Shhhhh................
7.I love animals....if I worked around animals I would probably bring them all home with me!!!!! I already have 4 kids a dog and a DH! How many more animals do I need?

Ok so that's it! If I think of anyone to tag I'll get right on it...........

Cleaning....

So I've cleaned the kitchen and got Beef Stew in the crock pot for dinner. Done 3 loads of laundry, ran the sweeper, cleaned the fridge and the pantry! Now I hope to relax a little then Clean out my closet. Sent Daddy to the store for a few groceries. Well off to relax..........

Tagged.....

Ok so I've been tagged by Jane...........let me think and I'll get back to ya on this! Wow seven things....hmmmm...........this is gonna be hard!

Well Here it is.......

My everyday boring life!!!! Yesterday I cleaned the boys room. Took out a ton of old broken toys and ones they've outgrown. Then I clean cleaned it. Moved the bed to sweep, did the baseboards....ect.....Oh ya took everything out of the closet and cleaned all in there too. I was in there a good six hours! I would say I'm going to clean the girls room today, but I'd need a week to do their room!!!! Then at 10:00PM I did a little scrapbooking...of course I didn't get anything done that I needed to! I have a challenge to work on and a LO for my class I'm taking. I need to get those done! Anyway I'm off to clean something today. Weekends are good for cleaning cause Steve watches the kids so I can get some "deep" cleaning in!
Boo lost another tooth! It was loose and he decided that he'd pull it out so it can get to the Tooth Fairy sooner!!! Boo Boo loves Money!!!! But I must say he is really good about saving it till he has enough for something big that he wants. Ali spends every dime as she gets it! Oh well got to remember to put his tooth in his "Tooth Pillow" tonight. Well off to clean something..........

Good Morning

Well Good morning to all!!! Well I had an interesting night! Isabelle got up at about 10:00pm saying her belly hurt but she kept dry heiving (sp?) and I know she had something in her belly cause she ate right before bed. So we laid on the bathroom floor for about two hours! Poor baby was shaking saying she was cold.....but she was sweating to death.......so I gave her childrens Imodium(sp?) thinking maybe that would help but we sat there for another 40 min. till she decided she wanted to go to bed. So I laid with her till she fell asleep. Poor baby she just kept crying and saying she hated to be sick and she didn't like it! I just kept rubbing her back poor thing! So Steve got home at about 1:30am. He always has a late flight.
So today is more cleaning! Hopefully I can get some scrapbooking in tonight. I have two LO's I need to do. Well everyone have a great Day!!!!

Daddy's away so we will play!!!! HA! We love you bird!!! Anyway daddy is not home so I've treated the kids to SONIC.........again! Shhhhhhh......... So we all got Rootbeer floats for dessert

Clothes Clothes and more Clothes!!!!!

Ok I'm up to 9 Garbage bags of clothes to get rid of and I haven't even done the girls drawers yet!!!! Can you say sickening!!!!!!!! That's one thing my kids have never lacked.....CLOTHES! I could open a resale shop.....but every year I give most of them away to someone who needs them! They used to stay pretty and clean but now that the kids are getting older they don't stay as nice. The sad thing is I am putting ones in the bag that still have the tag on them! They outgrew them before they even got to wear some of them! Ok maybe that's a sign to STOP buying them clothes!!!! I really only buy them clothes once a year.....at school time! They get some for Christmas, but not that many. I guess between me, my MIL and my Mom all buying them clothes this time of year they just get too many! Some are really nice Gymboree clothes that I should sell on Ebay...but I've never sold on there before and not sure how to do it. I need to though. These are expensive clothes that still have a lot of wear in them. Anyway off to do more in the girls room..............oy vey!!!!!!

Well last night was good. We downloaded some music off itunes for Ali's Ipod. Had to download Hanna Montana for her dance for dance team so she can practice. She also taught Isabelle the routine. It's cute to see them do it together. They like to make up little dances together. Then I watched Boo's Magic Shows.....the disappearing act! Really clever I must say! He taught Nicolas to disappear and he was so excited to show me how he could diappear!! The joys of Kids!!!!! I love it! Now we are off to clean rooms today!!! Wish me luck!!! Out with the old clothes......in with the new.
School clothes shopping is my favorite!!! Besides school supply shopping!!! Wahooo!!! It's that time! Got alot to do before I go to Virginia next week. As soon as I get back from there Steve and I are going to San Antonio for a little get-a-way!!! Would you believe we have gone nowhere in 11 years without the kids!!!! Well we did go to a concert in Germany.......Lynyrd Skynyard.......got to finally meet Johnny Van Zant....my Mil's good friend! Anyway we are in need of a good little retreat! The Grandma's are comming to watch the kids. We'll only be gone 4 days so I think they'll survive! Well off to clean rooms!!!!! Have a great day....will post some pics later today...oh ya My DH comes home tonight!!!! Wahooo!!!! He has been gone all week!

Got my candles today!

I got my McCall's candles today!!! My wonderful Mother bought me a 6 mo. subscription to the candle of the month club for Mother's Day!! Today I got Raspberry Lemon and Apple Butter! Yum....these are my favorite candles ever!

The kids painted the other day and I got this picture of Boo Boo painting his hand....kinda thought it was neat!

Hello!!!!

Wow this is so not me! I keep everything inside and Never express my feelings. Well.......most of the time! Just don't make me mad and everything will be great! HA! I think the word Temper and Redhead are in the same sentence in the Dictionary! Anyway this will be new for me and let's see if I can keep up! I'm very busy most of the time!
The ladies on Life Preserver's Scrapbook Club kinda got me interested in this! I've kept a journal before but over time stop writing in it. I like the fact that I can show pics here! I love pictures and love showing my babies!!!! They are my Pride and Joy! That's it for now! Have a great Day!
