I'm tagging Jackie!

Jackie, I am going to tag you. You are my only blog friend that hasn't been tagged and now the "tagging" has extended out and I am afraid it is not coming back this way. So, anyway. You are tagged!

Pizza Party

Brendan got a trophy for football and as you can see he wasn't happy that I was snapping pictures of him. Do you believe when we got home he had the nerve to say to me that I didn't get any pictures of him at his banquet with his trophy! What a little shit!


Brooke was clapping for Brendan!


It's hard to see but this is Brendan getting his trophy.

Pearly Whites

Erin and Brendan had dentist appointments today. It was Erin's first time. She was so excited! Brendan said he could hear her asking the hygienist a million questions and telling her our dog Olive poops on the lawn. Why? Who knows what goes through that kid's mind.
Brooke wanted to go in so badly! She kept asking "me?" She would have screamed if they actually took her in. Erin has to see an orthodontist for pre-orthodontic work. Isn't that weird, 4 years old and she could have some kind of braces!

Happy Birthday To My Godson!

Auntie loves you, Rex!

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S!

Brooke and Erin play they are going to work and are going to cut hair. It is really cute to see them try and act like me but, check out Brooke's outfit... is this what she sees me looking like when I go to work?

check out the socks and shoes, they are even on the wrong feet!

Champions!

Colin's team won the championship game!They are undefeated

Pampered Chef Party

Last night was so much fun! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for coming and thanks to the people who sent in their outside orders. I can't wait to get my goodies! I'm so mad, I forgot to take any pics last night. I usually think of everything as a good blogging opportunity, I can't believe I forgot!
Eileen, I wish you could have made it, I hear you are usually the life of the party. Maybe you will make an appearance at Jeannie's party.

I got a good tip from someone last night and I thought I would share it, "never cook bacon naked unless you have the no-splatter screen!". I will have to remeber that next time we do nude breakfast.

It's Valentine's Day

Today, Erin's class had a Valentine's party and Moms and little sisters were invited.

Oh My God, I've Been "Tagged"

Rules for the “Five Random Facts”:

Each player starts with five random facts/habits/stories about themselves. Anything will do. Be creative.

The person who is tagged needs to write a post on their own blog (about their five things) and post these rules.

At the end of your blog, you need to choose one person to get tagged and list their name/blog. Don’t forget to leave a comment on their blog telling them they’re tagged and to read your blog.

1) I sort of am copying Jeannie a little because I am going to write about my first preganacy. It was very different than Jeannie's experience by far. Way less dramatic. Anyway, here goes...

As you all know Billy and I were very young when we got married. We were both 19! Billy was in the military and got stationed in Vilseck, Germany. We were so young, naive and so in love we didn't want to spend two years apart so we decided to just get married. That way I could come and live with him and we would travel and have fun. Well, ten days after we were married and Billy had already shipped out, I was feeling very sick. I took a home pregnancy test with friend Joanne at my parents house and guess what, it was postive! I was so scared, married or not. If you know my father, you know why. I was so glad for Billy that he was gone and we were married because being the oldest daughter and first to have a baby in our family, I knew he wouldn't be too happy. He had barely had time to adjust to the fact that we were married and that I was moving away for three years. I know I said two but, married couples had to stay three years and single soldiers only had to do two.
Anyway,I finally got my orders to go and move and by that time I was about five-six moths along and huge! Billy walked right by me at the airport, he didn't even recognize me.(I bet he shit his pants a little thinking I blew up)! Well, months passed and I was so scared and yet too young and stupid to think I should probably learn some German because I was going to deliver in a German Krankenhaus not in a miltary hospital like I had thought. I had gotten by at my check-ups with sign language and gestures but, the delivery was a whole different ball game. I was expecting to go in and have an epidural and then get my new little baby girl I had been expecting. It wasn't that easy at all. I had a painful, very long labor with not a soul who spoke a drop of English. I was so young, scared and in pain. I just kept saying " want my mother". Obviously, I knew she wasn't coming but that is all I wanted. It was so scary but, I finally got my beautiful baby girl, Kelsey who is now almost 16!





(sorry so blurry, I am not very computer savy.)

2)I guess I could write about my favorite place to shop in the whole wide world.It is Susie's Bittersweet Treasures. I have become a "regular" there. I just love it and it makes me so happy to come home with a little trinket and just look at it on my house. I never said my life was exciting!

3)I once tattled on an older kid to Sonia, the neighborhood store owner. Someone egged her store and I saw who did it and was stupid enough to tell her who it was. I came back to her store a few days later, only to be told she wanted me to ID him to his parents! I almost died and ran home scared to death. I thought I would confide in Nana, who lived next door and her words of wisdom were something like "keep your big mouth shut!" I ran home and hid behind our big ugly green piano we had in the front hallway for hours crying. For years I was afraid to wear anything with my name on it just in case "Joe" saw me and was looking for me.

4)My sisters think I am a freak for this but I hate canolis! I don't know why, I can't say no to a single dessert but a canoli does nothing for me. I guess maybe a chocolate canoli maybe but never a cheese one.

5)I think I am starting to have a love for gardening. I love to see something grow that I planted. I'm not saying I am that good at it, I have been trying and never really content with what I have done. Billy planted a Rose of Sharon tree for me last Spring and I can't wait for it to bloom!

Well, I guess that is it. I think my life is a pretty open book and not much that I've been hiding or that is too interesting. I hope I didn't put anyone to sleep.

Now,tag... Kim Marique you are it!

Bunny House

I bought this bunny house kit and for some reason I was thinking it was for Valentine's Day??? I don't know what I was thinking, anyway we decorated it a little early for Easter.

Brooke was so excited to decorate it!

Brendan did the hard parts, like putting up the walls. Erin did half the roof.

And Brooke ate all the decortaions.









The masterpiece!
