WELCOME TO FEBRUARY! MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!

Well tomorrow we will be in February! I am trying to plan something for our anniversary, it is really hard to think of something to do when you are broke but by the time it comes we should have our income tax money back. I would love to go spend the night somewhere and see a show or do something. 10 years is a long time. When we took or honey moon it was for a 23 hour long trip. We went to Vegas for less than a day!! My little one was 5 months old at the time and nursing she didnt eat any real foods, and never had a bottle. It was not pretty for me or her. I was a leaking mess all over the place didnt have a pump or common sense. She refused to eat, my poor mom "nursed" her just to give her something to suck on. I know Liz tried her best to get her to eat but it was not fun for anyone. Now 10 years later I think I can be gone a little bit longer than a day. My idea of fun and his idea of fun are totally different so this will be interesting. I think he would like to fish all day.. I would like to scrap all day!! or shop!!

Got my new stamping up goodies!! Cant wait to play, did a little bit this weekend but not much. I want to start on valentine things ASAP!

Did I mention I got to teach my first Caravan class? It was fun, went alot smoother, with my discipline and rules. the kids are getting so rude and out of hand it just is not turning out to be any fun, Reagan doesnt want to go. I hoping with the new rules things will smooth out.

Oh what else is new for the week?? had softball yesterday, a lovely lunch with my mom at taco Joes. and resting with my family the other half of the day.. Today my sister and I did a little window shopping, we hit a few stores but couldnt find anything to buy :( Kinda a waste of time but good to get out and spend some time together. The baby has been sick and she is really stuck inside alot of the time. I am blessed to have a sister so close and that likes the same things/ most things as me :) made a nice spaghetti dinner for everyone.. oh and did haircuts this weekend too..

Very satisfying.. Now to watch Desperate housewives My favorite show!! Beside the Office and my new favorite Modern family..

Rain Rain and more Rain!

What a week it rained all 5 days, but sat and sunday was beautiful! It is freezing cold but so clean feeling out.. I had the pleasure of my nieces spending the weekend with us. Liz had to work reserves so we finally got to spend some time with them, I dont think we have them all day well I know for a month but it seems loger. Sat I stayed in my jammies all day and worked on altering mailboxes and helping Hannah do some layouts, I am md I didnt take a picture of her layouts before she took them home, they were really cute using the Paisley cartridge, I bought it back on thanksgiving but just now used it for the first time.. I know pathetic!

here is a quick layout I did with the Paisley it was just some scraps laying around but I think it turned out good..

Oh Casey got his shoes today.. What a pain he looked and looked online for some shoes he called about 10 stores, finally found some to go look at and 89.99 later he is set for the year.. Oh well I know I spend alot more on scrapping stuff than that. But just dont do it all at once.

Here is my 3 little one this week I am so proud of Connor he is doing really good on the potty training, no accidents!! I was taking a picture of the 2 little girls and he looked at them and says "oh cute" so I just to get him in the picture too! what a blessing these little ones are to me. I miss having Remi and Hannah home and Hayley, then Reagan, Jillian and Karly now I have these little ones and I know the days go so fast! They will be gone before I know it..

Another weekend come and gone

Here is my little one this weekend isnt she sweet. She loves dressing cute and wearing bows, and dresses and skirts. I will e heartbroken when the day comes that she wont let me dress her up.

BUT we have monday off!! Yeah. Rainys physical for swim is tomorrow. had a busy weekend Remi had her first softball game had fun but lost :(

It was also the womens Unite in Prayer this weekend. It was very educational, still trying to digest some of the info.

Oh did I mention I got my scrap room cleaned up!! I plan on posting pictures soon, after I organize a little more.

Rain is coming our way so I will be doing that this week while the rain comes down. Wish we would have gotten some wood :(

There was a huge earthquake in Haiti this week, it has been all over the news, and internet. So many people buried alive and crushed to death, it really makes you thankful. If you read this please say a prayer for the people in Haiti. I have been in prayer for them.

Gonna finish watching Avatar with my family it is a really good movie!

Happy 2010.. I know I am late

almost 300 Stockings for the Angel tree children.

Me and my man 10 years married this year :)

My girls on Christmas eve headed to church service.

Dress I made for Reagan for the winter..

Where did the past 2 months go?? My new years resolution is to post more, and scrap more.. My sis helped me clean up my scrap room a little on friday night so I am getting closer to creating some new things. I have watched close to a million youtube videos so I am hoping I can come up with somethings.

What is new in my life... Rainy started swim and got a trophy last week at her voleyball award ceremony I am very proud! Remi is getting ready for her first softball game of the season, we need to start practicing more.. and Reagan is starting jazz along with her tap class, she just ordered her costume for the 2010 year. Our life is good. We are involved with our church and feel at home there, Casey is going to Monday night Mens Bible study, and once a month Mens prayer Breakfast on sat. morning. He and Jeremy both have their 2010 fishing license so watch out fishes they are coming for you. They went fishing saturday so one day soon J will watch Jack and me and Laura can do some scrapping.

Another thing this year I am going to attempt to "sell" stamping up. Last year I was my only customer, except 1 pack of paper to my friend lol.. Hopefully someone will be inspired by something I make.. I am praying about it.. If it is a no go that is fine I love the product it really is the best stuff out there.

Oh did I mention we got DISNEY PASSES!! Yeah I am so excited we can almost whenever we want this next year!!! We all went last sunday and seen the electrical parade it was the last time it will be there for a while. we got front row viewing. I love Disneyland it is so much being there the smells and all the unique people..

Ok here is a few pics of our Christmas.

Halloween 2009

Group shot of all the kids!

Cutest Skunk EVER and my sweet little Jaycie!

Most people didnt know who Coraline was but Remi was still really proud of her costume the boots were a pain in my side for the past 2 weeks! WHY dont stores sell yellow boots?? we finally ended up painting some red boots from Walmart to match..

WOW another super busy weekend! My caravan class went great on Friday, we are getting a grove with these kids! I am just so happy to be helping with this class, the kids learned about having a shield of armour for the Lord. Saturday was our fall festival it was the first year the Bridge did it and it was so so much FUN, I helped with the Womens ministry booth which was a bowling game, the day started off really windy, but it calmed down and was a success. Then I helped at the hamburger/hot dog stand, and then got to hang out a little bit with friends. Casey even got to work a booth all on his own I think he even enjoyed himself. My girls had so much fun! We ended the night at Jen's with taco salads and trick or treating. My sister and her family and my friends Amy and Miranda came too. This was definity a top 5 for us! We made it to church this morning, having an extra hour of sleep made it easier, the message was for me, it was about forgiveness and how it doesnt hurt anyone but you to hold grudges, it doesnot hurt the other person for you to be mad and upset, but it does you. If you want the Lord's forgiveness you have to give forgiveness. I am so grateful for my church. I am blessed everyday by the friends I have made at the Bridge.

anyway here is a few pics from the weekend. We have spirit week at school this week and I need to find Reagan some Pj's for tomorrow.. Bad mommy didnt buy her any :(

Great weekend!

Had a great weekend! Started my new caravan class at school. It is working with 1st and 2nd graders teaching them a Bible lesson then making a project finish with a snack. We will be earning badges and having lots of FUN!

Then went to a womens and teens event called revolvetour.com VERY FUN! It was like a Christian Concert for teens, Rainy had a BLAST 6,000 screaming teens! WOW my ears were ringing! then took Rainy to the gym to see the grils volleyball sleep over she wasnt able to stay since she wanted to get back to the Revolve concert, at 8 am. I had to go to Remi's last soccer game, and then was able to go back to the concert I had my moms and Daisy's tickets and was able to take Remi and Reagan, they were so schocked it was so much fun for me to take them to their first concert, and we got to go for FREE, the tickets were 54.00 a piece, but a church had ordered too many and gave our church 10 for free, we were so blessed being able to go, and I learned a few things too. I think Rainy got alot out of it too! I will be going to more of these things for sure! Today was a great service at church, then Laura and Jeremy and Jack able to come over and have tacos. Great weekend and I am ready to face a busy busy week ahead! Reagan biggest show of the year is sat. and we have 3 practices this week, Rainy has 2 games, I will only be able to go to Thursdays game but I look forward to seeing her play we worked on her serves today she needs to learn to take her aggression out on the ball. she just cannot seem to get it over the next. Ok need to get to bed, didnt get much cleaning done this weekend but have some GREAT memories and spent some family time with my girls!! OH almost forgot I was so hally to find some paper racks for $5.00, now I need to get my scrapping stuff organized. Will post pics as soon as I get it straightened up..
