HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally summer has hit us & I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Course would be almost perfect if I was laying on the beach or lake (like my kiddo's & brother)....yup the babies are away with there uncle for a few days they all left Sunday morning & will be home late tomorrow night. Sooooo what is it I do while everyone is gone.....ALOT of R&R, watchin pointless tv & a few good movies, sip on Crush strawberry & grape soda, go out to eat with Tim, do a little laundry, text, finally download tons of photos from my CF card onto my laptop & go through them (whew had over 2000 pics sittin on there). Enjoy the AC with my pups, keep looking at Krystals senior picture thinking how beautiful she is & how I cannot believe she is going to be 18 in a few weeks & a senior in HS....think about all the things I wish I would of done before this day with her...just goes to show how precious time is & how quickly it goes. Though I can no longer be the person I once was out running around playing with my kids, going bowling, riding go-carts, water slides, etc all the things I loved doing before I still cherish the moments I can watch them enjoying all the things I took for granted that I would always beable to do with them. Sometimes I smile just watching them grow & having fun, many times I cry or get angry with the fact I can't do things....it's a fight everyday not to slip into a deep depression, but I am thankful I am still alive & I can still watch my children grow & become wonderful young adults.
Enjoy this FANTABULOUS weather.....I know I am.....beautiful glowing sun filled with sunny memories that have been made.....LIVE LAUGH & LOVE

gettin better....

We finally had a few nice days of summer....of course not one day gone by without hearing "chance of showers" in the weather forcast. Owell. Finally we have a couple cukes growning, tomato plants look good but not much happening. Tonight Krystal has her senior photo shoot...god I can't believe our little girl is going to be a senior this year so sad!! I am excited that I got the photographer that I really wanted at Defining light studio, Jamie is an amazing photographer. The kiddo's & I went to pick blueberrys' for about 15 min the other nite, pickin out recipes to make throughout the weekend (mainly them cooking & I will supervise) Zac wants blueberry pie & then a request for muffins & coffee cake...so we'll see. Last weekend was nice & relaxing went out to eat with my dad friday night, Sat night hung out with mom & allen....Sunday hung out with hubby....thank you all for keeping my spirits up as much as they can be....getting a little closer to making a huge annocement..just gotta make sure the timing is right & don't jinx us by announcing to early....enjoy your weekend....I believe the "boys" will be golfing...seems to be a weekly thing for Tim & Zac man...great bonding time & the stories are great when they get home. The girls & I will probably sit next to the fire (he bought me a fire pit I've been wanting) telling stories....

a HUGE THANKS

It's been a very tough & horrible past week for me so I wanted to give a huge thank you out to the very special peeps in my life that helped me get through & brightend each day.....tim, krystal, zac, brie, uncle rolly, aunt cindy, leon, Rich, Gram & alot of thanks & appreciation to my dad who did tons of running & helpin out big time. Also a big shout out to my extended family for thoughts & prayers....love you all don't know what I'd do without any of you.
I am so loving this weather though, Krystal & I spent some special time alone this morning laying in the sun going into fantasy land of thinkin we were at the beach, hot guys serving us drinks...etc yeah we were having fun with our wild thoughts a few laughs & giggles. Hope you all been able to enjoy some sunshine.....hoping maybe after Krystal gets home from work we can go celebrate summer (finally) with an ice cream!

finally finished

I FINALLY completed one layout...it took almost 2 weeks to do it but I did it. Miss Brie has loved the camera since she was born & the minute she sees one she instantly strikes a pose, but I really liked this one it was the more "natural" her. Plus was trying to cheer her up because she was mad that daddy or uncle wouldn't take her rafting that day....so the two sure fire ways to instantly cheer her up is bring out the camera or hand her something creative to do. I haven't quite figured out how to load the image real clear on this darn thing & I didn't want to wait for the hubs to get home tonight....so I just did it the way I know how. LOL.....I keep telling myself someday I will get a little smarter with these darn computers.

Speaking of new gadgets....Tim bought me the polaroid pogo!! It's so small & so darn cute but will come in handy for instant pics for the kids to have....We can even send a signal from our cell phone cameras to print off the image to.

Other than that not a whole lot going on around here, we did take a small walk on the tared path at the basin on sunday with Brie. I sure do miss hiking & doing the fun summer things with my kids, no more baseball, bowling, frisbie, etc down right sucks....but I get some enjoyment of watching them still being kids & snappin lots of pics.....still in shock that in less than two months my little girl is going to be 18!!!!!

time flies...

It is so hard to believe it's half way through the month of July & we still don't have summer yet??? I hope it gets here sooooooon! The rainy days have made great days just to stay curled up in bed watchin useless tv & that's about it. I am sooooo happy Tim & the kids didn't bother with the pool this year, we wouldn't of been able to use it with all this cold weather & the rain would of washed all the chemicals out, would of been a losing battle they would of dealt with. Right this moment it's very quiet at the house, Tim, Rich & Zac are out golfing again, mom & Brie are out for a walk, & krystal is workin a couple of hours. I seem so lost I can't even tell you the last time I was ever completly alone. Everyone seems to be taking advantage of the moments of sunshine we're having. The dr's want me to try going on short walks, but mom walks 3 to 4 miles almost daily, that's way to far for me especially now that I am so far out of shape.
Lil miss Krystal has been lucky for the past 3 days her boss bought her a scratch ticket & she won $50, then her & Rich went to town today & she won $100 on a ticket! maybe I should have her pick my powerball numbers for me. LOL Not much else to report....have a great night, think I'm going to lay back down & flip through a new magazine.

What were you doing?????

What were you doing today (7/8/09) @ 10:11???? Well I took out a pan of brownies for brownie sundaes for dessert tonight...darn rain has me so bummed might as well indulge in something yummy & bad!!!, Miss Brie is playing Wii Fit, Miss Krystal had fallen back asleep on couch due to bad migraine again (daily), Zac man in school & Tim somewhere in VT fixin someones computer issues, lol. Ok as if the rain isn't depressing enough, but to have it be so cold....where is summer???? Guess Krystal & Asia need to get together again & do there fabulous dance to make the sun come out, but now Asia is in SUNNY Califorina visiting her dad for the rest of summer. Maybe she'll send some sun & heat this way???PLEASE!!!!

Great memories.....

Well the fourth was a very very very wet day...changed clothes a few times, the rain was unreal, no sprinkle to warn you it just down poured really hard & quickly!!! We had about 35 friends & family over for Tim's annual fourth party....a few great memories that come to mind right now are Krystal & Asia doing the "make it stop raining dance" & it worked the sun poked through...lol, Aunt Cindy riding the scotter successfully this time, the babies & big kids enjoying the snap thingys, the fireworks rain shower, tim & zac holding up the tent over the grills, etc' so great to see all the family & friends together enjoying just being together in miserable weather. Luckily the rain did stop in time for Tim to present his amazing fireworks show again this year.....Great job hubby aka "tiny tim" lol

Sunday morning my father in law & his wife Trish took us to Polly's pancake house in sugar hill...yummo we had never been & always have wanted to...it was FANTABULOUS! As you can see the big kids (dad & trish) waited for there time on the horse...too funny!!!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend....I know we did....
