so much has been happening.....

So much has been happening that I have to say I am

sorry about not blogging for so long!!!

There have been birthdays and of course the

holidays and then our very best news of all is that

we are going to be getting another grand baby!!~

Dana and Brent are expecting their first baby

June 14th. We just found out the beginning of December

and we couldn't be more happy!!~This is the best gift

they will ever have and the best one they could give to us! Yippee!!!

I sure hope everyone had an amazing Christmas

and that you are somewhere that you want to be. Whether it

is home by the fire or on vacation or with family. As for us...we will

be home for most of the holidays but we are taking the boys

to Disneyland for a couple of days! We haven't been for

a while and I am very excited about it...

We have been so blessed this year with a happy healthy family! I am

very grateful for all of my blessings and for a great family that

brings me so much "JOY"!

Many wishes for a Happy New Year!!!

A Princess & her birthday party!!!~

Gramma's 1 year old Birthday Princess!!~

Love you my Good Girl!!~

Hallie walks around saying

good girl, good girl, good girl...

I don't know if she is trying to remind

her to be good or trying to convince us as she is

destroying everything in sight

& out of sight!!~

Halloween!!!

Halloween is changing around here.

{did I mention I Hate Change}

Kaden's biggest concern was making sure he

had a pillowcase to take trick or treating he wasn't

too worried about his costume this year!

So thank heavens for baby Hallie!

Even though she wasn't too cooperative for

a photo op she was still so darn adorable!

{and she knew it too!}

Lady Antebellum!!~

They are amazing!!!~

WHAT A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lady Antebellum Last Night!!:~)

My cute kids!!~@: Love them!!!!

Brent didn't know I was so into Country Music!!!

He was a little shocked by me at the concert

and I was waaaay mellow!!!!

Cute!

He said he had fun! You can't really tell by that mugshot??? can you???~

WHAT A BLAST!!!!

I love Country Music and so does my cute

friend Kim! We had an extra ticket and her hubby

is out of town so she got to hang out with us crazies!!!!

FYI:~:(They have the biggest onion rings I have ever seen

or eaten for that matter at the state fair!! YUMMY!!~)

Who woulda thunk?????

Every birthday Lindsey EVER had growing up

we would say we couldn't believe she made it to that

BIRTHDAY...she was such a pill we were

both surprised one of us hadn't killed her yet!!!~

So....who woulda thunk

she would make it to the old age of 20????

(not us) JK Love you Linz!!!~

D-Backs last hurrah!

We were invited to go with some of Dee's clients

to the last Diamond Backs game

of the year. We had great seats and it was

so much fun! We also got to go down on the field

when the game was over. Kaden had a chance to

hit some balls pitched by one of the coach's. He also

got to run around the field, touch all the bases

and home plate! We had a really fun day!

silly little girl....

She started out following grampa around while he

cleaned the windows.... eating dirt & flowers

as any 11 month old baby would do!

Then since she was soaked anyway............

her & grampa had a blast completely soaking her!!!

She would scream and laugh she had

the greatest time!

The silly little girl was sooooo

mad at her mom when she made her

come in the house and take a bath!!!!!!!!!

the" longoing" project....

I have been asked so many times what my scrapbook/craft room

is like. I always intend to post pics of it

but the problem is I am continually

changing, adding, wanting to do something else or organize things better.

So as my title states...the longoing project......

and I do need to give credit where

credit is due. My island was purchased unassembled...

thanks Dana and Dee for

helping me out with that one. Hint..don't ever say the word unassembled

to Mr. Dee. The calm man I am married to disappears

and turns mmmmmm not so calm.......

(It's not just "my" long going project I guess!!!!!)

I love being in here creating

For me there is nothing more relaxing (unless

you are on vacation toes in the water and you- know- what in the sand)

Football has begun....go #72!!!!

We love football season! Austin is playing for Mt. View's

JV team this year. They played the hardest team of the year

for the first game and they did lose. Bummer!!!

We are looking forward to tomorrows game

and hopefully a "W" this week! Go Mt. View! Go #72!

Bye Bye Days of Summer!!!!

I am soooo in love with the Staples commercial....

"it's the happiest time of the year!!!!!" and the dad is

skipping and leaping through the aisles.

I laugh my head off every time

it comes on and Kaden says,

"why do you think that's so funny?"

Wahoo!!!!! Wahoo!!! Wahoo!!!

You know I love my boys, I love summer

and all the fun that goes with it! I just think

their cute little brains need more to do

than be entertained or play XBOX all day long!

(they of course would totally disagree)

Austin is 15 a sophomore (almost driving Yikes!!!)

Kaden is 10 going into 5th grade also going on 16!!!

cutest thing EVER!!!!

I am sure that this is the cutest thing EVER!!!!

After running around with Hallie fussy

all morning I came home and gave her a

cracker. As soon as she was done with it....

CRASH.....she was out like a light.

Oh my gosh, NOTHING cuter than a

sleeping baby.....don't you think?

ah....much to do now that

she is asleep in her crib. Chow!!!!
