crazy house

This is the typical night at our house, funny isn't it!! Watch and you can see the cat run for her life, but watch Tim, he is so used to it, he doesn't move!! But we love it!!

Well here are some new picutes, don't faint now, I am in one!!!

Tim left early this morning for Texas for a conference, he will be gone all week. We miss him already. Matthew was wandering around the house this morning calling for him, I hope he goes to bed alright tonight.

Trying to get things in order, Erin starts back to school on Wednesday, she is in the 5th grade!!!!! I can hardly believe it, it seems like yesterday we were taking her for her 1st day of Kindergarten.

Almost time

for Erin to come home, she has been away since the 3rd of July, she went up the the Villages with Aunt Marjie and Uncle Bill. She also got to meet up with her favorite cousin, Kelly and Billy. I know she had a great time, but we sure missed her here.

Isn't that beautiful!!

It was raining earlier and we went outside and saw this great rainbow and the sunset tonight was unbelievable.

News

Well things have been busy around here. Summer is here, school is out for Erin, she is an cultural arts camp and is loving it. This week she will be taking a trip up to The Villages (Lady Lake, FL) with my SIL. They will be spending the 4th there and then Erin's favorite cousin, Kelly will be coming down and they will visit along with Kelly's brother Billy who has been away at the MMA.
We will miss her so much, but she loves to go away with her family, especially if she gets to see Kelly.

Matthew has been busy at school learning his colors and shapes and all that stuff. He will be off to the doctors this week, we need to get him tested for allergies. For the past 2-3 weeks he has been vomiting and having rashes and diarreah, everytime he goes to the doctor they think it is viral, at this point I don't, and now he has 1 ear that turns a bright red during all this which seems to indicate that there is a food allergy going on. We shall see.

Sorry

Here are some pictures.

Matthew is 2!

February 25th came around really fast, Matthew is now 2 years old! He had his party at home this year and invited some family and friends.

Thanks for sharing his special day with us.

Well it took long enough....

for me to post again. See I told you so, I knew it would be hard to keep up. Oh well, better late than never.

Things have been busy around here, Erin has been doing soccer and improving some, I really don't think it is the sport for her, but she is keeping up with it and trying her best.

It was Matthew's 2nd birthday on February 25th, I can't believe that he is that old already, and Erin will be 10 this Saturday....OH MY!

I will post some pictures in another entry from Matthew's birthday.

Cookies are taking over

our lives!!! I have been so busy lately because of the Girl Scout cookies, I am so lost. Erin is such a trooper, last weekend we went to a Girl Scout Art event, then rushed over to do a cookie booth and then went over to a Boy Scout spaghetti dinner that one of the girl scout moms was in charge of for her son who is in Boy Scouts.

This week we are working a booth on Saturday, I am praying that we sell ALL the rest of our cookies!

Want some?????

It's Cookie Time!!

Get your taste buds ready everyone, it is that time of year again, GIRL SCOUT COOKIE TIME!!!

Right now I am looking at 112 cases of Girl Scout Cookies piled in our living room! How tempting!!

Back to school!

Last week was our first week back to school, I think the kids really missed it. Everyone had a good week, Erin had done all her literature homework so she was happy that she had no homework.

Erin also started soccer Saturday, she really seemed to enjoy it. There is a practice on Thursday, I will try and take some pictures, it is in the evening so I don't know how easy that will be.

A boy and his shower....

Matthew loves to take a shower....click on the "?"'s to see how much!!

January 6, 2007

See already I am slacking on this....sigh!

Not much is really going on around here. I have been off with the kids since December 22nd. We haven't really done anything extrodinary, we did go and spend some of the gift cards that Erin and Matthew got for Christmas.
Erin spent all of hers and was really excited that she was able to afford a MP3 player, she loves it. Matthew got some stuff but really does not need anything so he has some gift cards stashed to used at a later time.

My angel Matthew has been displaying some really new traits, he just loves to beat up his sister, lately he will hit, pinch and throw things at her. I hope that changes when he gets back to school on Tuesday, or I guess I will be getting some calls from them....uh-oh! Boys are sooooooo different.

We have been cleaning out the kids rooms and taking stuff to the consignment shop so that we can shop some more!!!

I did some decorating in my bathroom, just some knick knack kind of stuff.

Well sadly that is all in my exciting life to date. I have to go clean the bathrooms now....oh I bet you wish you were me!!!!

Love ya!

Happy New Year!

Well the New Year is here!!!

We rang in the New Year with a great dinner out last night, we went to Riggins Crab House (thanks Jim for recommending it). Tim was thrilled he got all you can eat Garlic Crabs..YUMMY!!
We came home and watched the New Years Eve shows on T.V. and we all almost made it to midnight last night, Matthew pooped out on us around 11:30pm, I was so surprised that he stayed awake until then. Erin did great she made it all the way! Me, I made it too, but was happy to hit the pillow, too old to stay up that late!!!

Christmas

On our way....almost, there was an accident that tied us up for a bit.

Well that is pretty much the highlights! We had a great time at the Villages. We missed having Kim, Riley, Jim, Phyllis, James and Jennifer with us this year.

Grandma and Grandpa we had a great time visiting!
