Happy 38th Birthday Jc


Almost 20 years ago, I met the most amazing man. I knew from the day I met him that I was going to marry him, I knew that God truely had given me my soul mate. We not only met each other at work but we went to the same school and both went to the same church. Today is his 38th Birthday and I am so thankful that I have him in my life. He is so supportive of me and so wonderful with our kids. He works very hard to support us and he just spent close to 25 hours putting up a swing set for the kids for their birthday. I am so blessed to have you in my life Jason, I wish you the Happiest Birthday and I thank you for putting up with all the crazyness that sometimes happens in this house, from a strong willed almost 3 year old to a crazy preteen, You light up my days and I am so lucky to have found you. So Happy 38th Jc
I love you

snow fun



When I worked at the School district, we had fake snow that the kids played with. They had a ball with it. Well I found some at a teaching supply store and got some for the kids but they didnt have any in so I had to get it shipped. Well I Got it in but it cost 43 dollars, I really thought it wsa the stuff that the school had used but when I mixed it, I realized it was not.. It was more of a gel then white flakes. It still feels cold. The boys had a ball with it, although they did not understand why I wouldnt let them throw snowballs in the house. I am going to keep on searching for some snow from when I worked at the schools because I liked it much better. The kids had fun at least.

Jake's Birthday Party











































Jake had a 5th Birthday party this past weekend. Can you believe he is already 5. His Theme was Batman and Sherry made these batman shirts with Caps for the kids. They loved them and Conner espically loved his because he kept it on the whole time. He thought it was so much fun he wore it the next day and then the today. We had lots of fun at the party. I am watching a new little boy named Nolan and he is 3 but smart as can be. He came to the party and after he got the invite he was just sooooo excited about Jake giving him a batman card, I dont think he put 2 and 2 together that it was a party. He kept telling everyone about his batman card.
We had lots of fun!! Happy 5th Birthday Jake, we love you






























Girl scout cookies anyone ?

It's been awhile since I have written anything. I am not keeping up on this daily like I would like too.. By the end of the day I am just plain wore out. Right now it's girl scout cookie season so that wipes me out even more and not to mention the fact that my co-leader basically quit.. Well It's a long story but she and me started when the girls were in 1st grade. She was a single mom of 5 kids and works full time, the youngest has autism. Her other kids are involved in all kinds of sports, so she really didnt have the time to commit to anything. Her son's speech therapy ended up as the same nights as your meetings so she would never show up for the meetings and now that the girls are getting older, she was not making it to any field trips. So I basically told her that it was time for her to step down. Her x ( The kid's father died suddenly from a heart attack in June) So she has had a lot on her plate. I recently asked another mother to help. Her name is Lisa but she has not given me a definte yes... and I don't want to force her into it but she has been helping out a ton.

The kids birthday's are coming up Conner will be 3 and Taylor will be 9.. Where did that time go ? We are doing a dual party for them at Pump it up in Tempe from 3;15-5:15. It's much cheaper that way. Jason's Birthday is the 1, Conner's is the 3rd and Taylor's is the 4th. What was I thinking ? And of course it's in the middle of cookie booth time.

March 6-9 Jason is going on his man trip. They usually do it the second week in March but had to do it the beginning due to the fact they are going to lake powell this year and it's cheaper on that weekend. They usually just camp. I like the fact that he gets to go hang with his buddies but it gets tiring for me because I have to be with the kids 24 hours a day and it gets lonely. Plus I dont really like being alone in a house.. I hear noises..( All goes back to my childhood when I Was a kid about 8 coming home from church and someone shot a gun at the neighbor''s house across the street. I still remember that to this day. It's very vivid.

For the kids birthday we got them a swing set. It's huge and I just worry about conner falling off. The other one we had for 7 years and it was just buckling and not fun for the other kids. Jason and his brother Troy put it up although it still needs to get stuff finished on it.. It took almost 2 days.. crazy but the kids will enjoy it in the long run.

Taylor and I had a cookie booth today and it went ok but their were quite a few people turning us down but we did sell 78 boxes. What ever our troop does not sell we have to buy back so we try and sell as much as we can.

Well I should get some sleep, I know this blog really rambled. I wil post some pictures of my new niece katie, I got to see her this weekend at Jake's (My nephews 5th birthday party.

Speaking of dreams, Do you ever have dreams that you keep replaying in your head and you are wondering if it was real or you just made it up. I keep having some strange dreams about my old grade school... not anything that harmed me but just weird ones.


Time for sleep

Busy day tomorrow.

Superbowl Fun
































Superbowl was very exciting for your family this year. Being from Arizona we were very excited that the Cardinals had finally made the Superbowl. As you can see from the pictures above our family was a bit divived due to the fact that my husband is a total steelers fan and my mother in law is a major Cardinal fan. I was bummed that the Cardinals did not win because I wanted them to win so they could not only make her really happy but could represent our state.. Finally people would take about Arizona. Sometimes I think we are missed in the limelight. Anyways.. I had Taylor and me in Cardinals and Jason and Conner were in steelers. The best part was getting the adults to wear 3d glasses in the middle of half time. The food was great and it was fun hanging around the family and hearing everyone yell.. So maybe next year ....Cardinals we are hoping for a superbowl win.
