Crazy yahoo!!

Ok Yahoo is not that reliable I guess. I have gotten many speratic messages asking if I am getting messages from family and friends. I am not getting these. WEIRD! So if you need to get ahold of me the best way is by email! I guess we tend to rely on technology way too much! LOL

HEROES! How could I have forgotten? I completey, in our hectic life, forgot the show started back up last wek! ARGH! Thank goodness NBC puts this show on the internet to watch. Which I did and it was GREAT!!!!!!! I love this show, If you love this show too and missed the 19th episode you can click on this link and watch it for yourself!

HEREOS<----click me!

Thanks ValM (at least I think that was you) for leaving me a comment on my post about the little critter eating my plants , I will have to give your suggestions a try!!!!

Well off I go to get some work done!
till later....~

Jess's turn!

Today was Jessie's preview picture and ball game day! Thank goodness they didn't play as many innings as Jake's team did yesterday! Jess stole 2 bases and made a run for her team. She never got back up to bat cause they called the game short. I thought I had better post some pictures of her too!







Breaking news!!! This just in!!!! Some little critter is about to die if he doesn't stop eating my plants out front!!! I couldn't believe when I looked outside and the tops of my hostas were cut short and my lily's are hacked. Not all of them but enough that I "The black thumb" noticed! ARGH! If any of you (ValM) know what I can do (ValM) about this situation please let me know! (ValM) .....hee hee!

Well it is an absolutely gorgeous day so off I am to enjoy some of it!
till later..~
(did that just sound like yoda?....LOL)


Oh by the way if any of you want to know what I am doing for the mom's of our family for mothers day just email me and I will send you a link with directions. I can't say or show you what it is on here for obvious reasons but I will tell you that you need few materials and a computer and printer........LOL

Homerun!

What a day! Another "rush, rush rush" saturday. We had the first game of the season for Jake today. Well, actually, it was supposed to be a picture day and preview but we ended up playing 6 innings. Jake did great! He got an "IN THE PARK HOMERUN"!!! You could tell he was siked! I was amazed at how much quicker he has gotten over this past year. I guess it is paying off though! Dave and I both agree something changed in him, ball wise , this year. He is playing center field and Dave calls him the "Hoover" (like the sweeper). The coach told him to go in the dugout an tell the other boys he was now the leader in homeruns for the team.......LOL we thought that was cute!

Anyways, here are some pics from today...............




I just love this next picture, you will certainly see it in the scrapbook soon!!! Got the perfect scraplift to do too!~~

TGIF!!!

It's Friday! woohooo! Well it really isn't that exciting but at least the sun is out. Actually blinding me at the moment while I sit here watching it come up and getting the kids ready for school.
Our Hostas are finally sprouting from the ground and everything is looking really green! Jacob mowed the grass last night and I must say he did a great job. A freshly mowed lawn is always nice.
Well the rain again put a thin layer of water on the pool cover I will need to drain off for the 3rd time....LOL I have been looking around at peoples pools and I have seen quite a few of them uncovered already. I can't wait , maybe this weekend we will have some time in between ball games to get that done and out of the way.
Did I mention it was Friday? LOL Maybe it doesn't seem like a Friday cause this is our baseball preview weekend. Fun but on the go along with squeezing in our stuff we wanted to get done. But we enjoy watching the games and as the kids get older they games get more exciting! I have paperwork to do today along with my usual running around, work and practices.
I am actually just on here to look at my eBay auctions this morning. I have two going at the moment. I am wanting to buy and "EZ-up". If you don't know what that is, here is a picture for ya.

Our campers awning was torn off the day before we bought it so we figure this would be a great alternative. I love these cause they are all one piece. No poles to assemble and you can take it anywhere! (Ballgames, camping, 4 wheeling) Anywhere you think you might need some shade or shelter. Our only concern is keeping it away from the campfire ash! LOL
Well I had better get my day started, I am headed to the treadmill. I have committed to do cardio at least 5 days a week!


Till later...............~

Hey! I actually scrapped!!!!! LOL well I guess you can call it that. I took 15 minutes out of my morning yesterday and plopped some pictures into some great 5x7 quick pages. I got them from the "in memory of miles" kit I gave you the link to the other day! I used some scanned in pictures for these. I am trying to do some older photos of the family. You know, before there were digital camera days!!!







Oh and I also put in another layout in my gallery called "Vista View".

FAB free kit!

Attention Scrappers!!!!
If you haven't heard about "In memory of Miles" please click on it and read! They have come up with an awesome kit and I have already snagged it! Can't wait to use it! Thanks girls for all your hard work!!!!

As for my day I am on the go early, with two ball practices at different times and having to leave for work inbetween I have to get all my errands done this morning. So off to the treadmill I go! will post more later.

till then........~

Brrrrrrrr!

Oh my I forgot to close the windows last night when we went to bed. Woke up and was fine underneath all the covers but the air was quite chilly.
What a day I had yesterday, too much running around.....thank goodness it was nice out. That always energizes me! I was in bed early and must have needed the sleep!

Today hopefully will be alittle slower! Jess has ball practice at noon but other than that just waiting on the guys to get home! I do have some work I can do for my classes. So that is probably what I will do today.

I am going to search for some scrap freebies today. I have some friends coming over tomorrow to scrap so I am going to try to do some scanned pictures of the kids before the "digital camera"!! There are tons! I ended up getting alot at Nanna's attic! Great stuff! Her link is over to the left!

Well my cup of coffee is dry so I am going to start my day. Have a great weekend!
Till later.....~

IPOD mania!

ok ok I will admit I love, love , love our IPOD 30gig!!! But man if you spend any time at all on the net surfing for accessories it will drive you batty! You have to take a look at this one I came across, this has to be for the die hard IPODer that is all I have to say. Here take a look.............




You have to admit that is helarious!!!!! Someone sure does spend alot of time in their bathroom!!!! LOL Course I guess in their defense you could turn it on while in the shower........ok ok still helarious!

Anyways, it is a beautiful morning and I have lots to do. Started to get the camper ready for the season. It was quite nice cause I hardly had to do anything. I only had to wipe down some things and stock some little things. But I did lose my camping list I usually use every year in a computer crash this last time, So I am in the process of making a new one! Can't wait to camp, the whole family is excited. That and our first camping trip is Memorial weekend and the kids know that school will almost be over!

Going to be opening the pool here in a couple weeks, this weather better start cooperating!!!!! Now, need to find that pool pump to drain the water off the top.................wonder where we put that?

well better head that way and finish my morning chores...........LOL
till later............~

Yikes!

Its almost swimsuit season!! oh my why does this time of the year always get to me....LOL not really but man as the years go by I wonder when I won't want to buy a suit.....

I do like to look at all the latest fashions for the season and I thought I would share my favorite site with you....
http://www.bestswimwear.com/
(just click on the link)
This site has several different designers and tons to look at!

Well the upcoming weekend promises to be a sunny and warm one (at least warmer then what it has been) So enjoy it if you can!

(Gallery updated!)

It's Monday!!

Not that you didn't already know that....LOL Boy I did not want to wake up this morning. But it is hard to sleep when you have a 190lb person jumping up and down on the bed..........LOL well actually all I heard when I had my eyes closed was .............."Are you going to wake up or do I have to get creative?" LOL I am pretty sure what I heard this morning was something like that! Too funny! I got up shortly after hearing that! Kinda like immediately!

Went to my moms this weekend and played cards. Had a great time as usual. Which reminds me...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!

Nothing much going on today but running a boat load of errands. Not going to scrap, not even going to fool myself into thinking I would have time. Then of course Ball practices and all that jazz. I need to get a better plan but it seems that my mondays are always crammed. I just hate to do too many "have to" things on the weekends when the whole family is in the house!

Anyways it is time to head to the treadmill and work off some of those weekend calories get back on track. So till later..........~

What a day!

Busy busy busy as usual....HAPPY friday the 13th!!! Went to the dentist and found out I have an infection in my jaw bone where he tried to numb me the last time and it failed....LOL went to work and it was great (smoking cessation class) but the drive home was horrible. Can you say "Traffic Jam"? They have the interstate access closed from Maple and I think it took me an extra 20min to get through town. but I am home now and all is good. Have only one child in ball tonight and got some movies from the library to veg on the couch watching this evening with my family.

So thought I would just say hello to everyone and post more later!
Till then.........~

woohoo!

Ok so finally all this hard work is paying off! Working out that is. I have been working out for about 2 weeks now, doing cardio first thing in the morning like everyone suggest and lifting weights 3 days a week. I got on the scales this morning and I am down another 4 lbs. Now that is definately a motivator with all this ikcy rain! Always easier to diet inthe summer for some reason even if you aren't outside. I have been using Fitday to track my progess. I know they have a free Diet tracker online at www.fitday.com .

Well today is a busy day so I thought I would post early before I hop on the treadmill. Going to go help a friend with some computer things. So maybe we can squeeze in a page today....LOL

then tonight is hectic with post office, banking, and library, ball at 5:30 , 4H at 6:30 back to ball at 7:00 and then to 4H at 7:30.....whew! (keep me in your prayers....LOL)

So till later......~
(gallery updated)

Rain Rain go away!

already! I don't mean to complain but I am so ready for summer!!!!! LOL
I spent the day grounded (cause dave was fixing my van tires) and I missed some calls. Not sure how that works but I think my phones aren't very loud and I am missing them ringing. weird. anyways I did do a couple more layout in the last few days and uploaded them to the slide and my gallery. I can't wait to get out tomarrow. I have a Dr appt and am going to a friends house. So come on SUN I am ready for ya!!!!!!!

Goodmorning!

Well been a few days since I have posted any updates. Been a crazy week , that is for sure! Went to work on Friday and on my way back had a flat tire! ARGH! My cell phone wouldn't pick up good coverage and I couldn't seem to get ahold of anyone so I tried the 2-way (nextel) and thank goodness I got ahold of the 3rd person I tried. I soon got a ride home. Dave ended up putting the spare on when he was coming home from work but now we need to get new tires we weren't planning on. No biggie just a hassle.
Had a great Easter weekend. Busy as usual but awesome! Went to visit Dave's Aunt on Sunday , nice to see everyone. The easter egg hunt at the church went great. And Terry and Denny were both on Whiz Tv about it. I think it is on the website also. (at least Denny's interview).
Well it is Monday and I need to get some things started that I seem to never do on the weekends, like clean and shop. LOL But guess what? I scraplifted this past week. You will have to check out my layout slider to the right. I will have a few new ones in there soon! So off I am to load those up for you to see. (did that sound a little like something Yoda wold say?...LOL)

Till then.........~

Well it is another gorgeous morning! The sun is so refreshing to see for more than 2 days in a row! Spring is really in the air now! I feel sorry for all you that suffer with alergies. I hear this is a terrible season this year for that.
Well was just told that is is supposed to get cold the rest of the week and rain. YUCK! But oh well if it needs to get it out of its system now then I am all for it!

well Jessies eye is getting much better. Still a nice shade of wine,purple and yellowish green! They were calling her "black eye" at ball cause the coach coudn't remember anyones names......LOL Yes you heard me right, ball has indeed started. It is now 4 days a week. So if you haven't guessed my computer time is cut down to just about email and banking....LOL You can always still leave me a message on yahoo. Or even call, now there is a thought. I wonder when the telephone with be obsolete? LOL just teasin, the internet is so handy for those of us that don't have time to be on the phone! It's a good thing.

Oh for all you poor ladies that I keep bugging about a website I have been trying to find I FOUND IT! it is www.shoplocal.com you can get latest flyers and sales on there in your home town. I am always waiting to see when arizona jeans go on sale for Jess there and I had lost the link in a computer crash and just now got it back. Was wracking my brain like crazy trying to remember it. Kinda like a bad tune stuck in your head....LOL

UPDATE: I have a wonderful friend in cambridge that offered me some dafodils! WOOHOOO!!!!!!! Thanks Tina A. ~~ Love ya! now if we can just find the time to get together.........I know you are working like what? 6 days a week now?
Didn't you say you would have a "Spring" cookout type house warming thing or did Dave and I miss that already?

Anyways just wanted to update the blog and let you know that updates will probably be scattered here and there while the sun is out.

Oh and for you who asked the job is going great still in training (teachign birthing classes) So keep the prayers coming I a great Born again Christian group of ladies to work beside and learn from! God is good!

Till later~
