Fun Pictures

Here are some pictures of the kids from this weekend. I will post again later today:

More tributes:

To our good friends Bruce and Ruth: Well we definetly have lots of fun with them. They are smart. Good people to bounce stuff off of. Fun to laugh with. I am grateful to them mostly because when Tony was not feeling so plugged into our church Bruce really reached out to Tony (I guess I tend to feel plugged in any where I go..). I am not sure how or when exactly, but I just remember Tony talking about a guy named Bruce. We started eating out with them occasionally and then got involved with the children’s area, and now we are at church all the time!!!! Not a bad thing. And then I got to know his wife, who l love. We got to know there family, and we love there kids. They are just good people that are down to earth and I like that. They are trustworthy. I enjoy working with them at church. I feel like I could share stuff with them and it wont be spread all over the church or town. Now that is a good friend. Honesty would be a good word for them as well. I think me and his wife would make great COPS! Thank you for being who you are and being so down to earth.
Today, I ate lunch with Bryce. He wanted a garden salad from Burger King. Um…Garden Salad…is that my 8 year old son talking. I wish I had as much enthusiasm about salad that I would want one for school. No mommy wanted a WHOPPER, with fries, and hey give me a choclate shake with that! Oh gosh, I really want to diet, but I LIKE food. Not in excess, but I like food. Anyways, tomorrow Tony’s aunt is heading off. It has been good to get to know her better. The kids really love her. Yesterday I ate at Ana’s house and we did some shopping for our homes. Found some great deals at Target. I am loving my home more and more. I feel so settled in it. I love being here in it.
This AM early we raked leaves and bagged them. Um 6…49 gallon bags…and it looks like we never did anything. Do you realize how much that is….LOTS! So depressing. My wonderful trees that I though I loved so much…were not so lovely anymore. I was threatening to chop them all down…all 20 oak trees on my property. Then the more rational me said no you like them in the summer they are nice shade. The grass is always greener on the other side.

I leave you with yet another picture of me and my hubby. Have I mentioned here that I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. There is a song out by Jack Johnson called Better Together…and we are better together. I just feel like a part of me is missing when he is not around. I know I am so gushy, but I am sorry….. I am in love with my husband(actually I am not sorry). So many marriages are just falling apart and partners are not enjoying being with each other. I just don’t get it. People tell me the “honeymoon stage just had not worn off” or “you have not had any major issues”….are you kidding me… we have had our issues and we are still madly in love, and we have been married for quite some time and we are still madly in love. It wont end. It is a CHOICE people and yes it is that SIMPLE in my book.

Electric Bills

Oh man…I am going to complain here for a moment. My current electric bill was $641….YES you read that right. I know there has to be something wrong with our meter. THERE IS NO WAY…I mean no way we used all that. We are careful about lights, and we have been keeping our heat off [...]

A Tribute:

I wanted to write about the people that are important to me or that have impacted me in some way. These are in no specific order, If you take offense to anything that I say…get over it…I am going to be doing this the next few days, so if you don’t see yourself on here [...]

Rubber Bands and Boys…not a good combination

Yesterday I took the kids to the thrift store to buy Bryce some western stuff for his school play last night. As soon as we walked in Benjamin says “I don’t like this place” I say “It is okay Ben we wont be in here long” We get our stuff and proceed to the check [...]
