I'm thankful for....Filling Up the " MINI" Van for under 50.00!! YIPPPEEE..My yard is mowed and the leaves are raked. The gutters are clean! My fridge is full and my wonderful husband who is working 2 jobs!



I'm listening to...The fish tank and little bear...the small inside voice who is telling me to go start dinner..I don't want to!

In the oven...
NOTHING!! I said I don't want to ...

What's for dinner tonight....Seriously!? Maybe bacon, eggs and pancakes. Okay, after I typed that I am thinking that's whats for dinner.

Veterans day

Veterans day is not just a day that your life is put on hold because the post office and banks are closed. It is not just a day off of school. It is a day that we Honor the men and women who have fought for our country. The men and women who graciously signed up to fight for our rights and freedom. Our rights to travel, vote, wear what we want and they have fought to help other countries in need. No matter if you are Democrat or Republican or an Independent you have that right because men and women have fought for it!

We live in an amazing country no matter how messed up things are right now. So as you continue your day PLEASE stop and remember the solider who is fighting or the soldier who has lost their life serving for this great country..The United States Of America!

Cookies...anyone!?

After church on Sunday I went home to put on my pajamas..after a long night on Saturday I was tired! Jenn and I had signed up for a class at Treasury of Memories to make different Christmas crafts..yes, I need a class and step by step instructions along with a friend to help me!

Jenn came over after I had planned to do nothing all day with a big bag of cookie making stuff for the girls. I had to have 2 more cups of coffee before I could get into it..I know, I am a bad mommy for not wanting to make cookies..I was tired!!

The Girls had so much fun and even wore their matching " bakering" outfits as Olivia would say.Olivia loves to wear bakering aprons everyday to help me in the kitchen.

The cookies turned out good...when we let them decorate the cookies each girl went through 3 bottles of sprinkles for 3 cookies! YIKES! The sprinkles where 2 inches thick but Olivia is certain that Santa will like them in exchange for her presents. This Christmas will be very interesting..she is already consumed with presents...looks like I will be reading the story of Christmas to her starting NOW so she can somehow understand the real meaning behind the season.















Olivia is constantly changing her outfits..the Christmas dress was bought at the consignment store only because she wanted to put it on right then and there...she has worn it everyday since!

Craftastrophe

I have to tell you all about a FUNNY new sight poking fun at crafts gone wrong! If you have nothing better to do...like laundry, motherhood , dishes or any other daunting tasks I urge you to waste your time surfing Craftastrophe . You will not only laugh out loud but this sight alone will make you smile all day.

I am sooo not a crafty kinda a girl and can very easily understand how a simple project turns into a nightmare product you can sell.

Enjoy!

Our Recent News

Nope..we are not having another baby! :)


Jeremy has a NEW job with Delaval Company out of Lynden. He will be the driver/sales Representative for Skagit County area. It seems to be a wonderful company with excellent benefits and the opportunity to grow with the company. He will be home every night working no weekends ans holidays off! YIPPEEEE !He has never had this with any other company he has worked for.

After much prayer we decided that we will keep the watch & clock repair store going. We have a ton of inventory right now that we had purchased for the upcoming year. We have 14K gold jewelry (watches,rings,necklaces,earrings and MUCH more!) for the Christmas season. We also have a ton of new stock Montana Silver. I guess you can call us a jewelry store too..


Anyways, we will be open Wednesday-Saturday. Jeremy will be working on repairs at night and on Saturdays. We have hired someone to be there during the day. If you need a repair or a battery we will still be open!

We are so thankful for this new opportunity!

I'm listening to...Olivia talking NON-STOP about everything, mailing a letter to Demi's mom, Amber leaving a cup, Dad at the neighbors, telling me Christmas is coming and she wants new panties, not with flowers but Cinderella..now she's having a picnic...her bum smells like strawberries..she needs her cup and Carter is not going to hear her yelling..all in matter of 3 minutes!

What's happening this week....I am cleaning and preparing to finally paint the small kids room, 2 massage appointments and 3 Physical therapy appointments

I am loving fall! I am not looking forward to Jeremy working all weekend. I have had a busy week and it felt good to have schedule but not wanting to repeat it!

I am missing...Matthew's Boy Scout shirt for 1 month! I am not wanting to purchase new one! My cousin Edee...sometimes I just need her! The California Cousins and the Sun there!!

Dress Up Fun!

Every Halloween we start with a visit to Great Grandpa & Grandma..the kids love to visit them and we are so blessed to have them here and in our lives.

Mikey was a "Chick Magnet" Matthew was the Whoopee cushion , Olivia was a princess ( of course) and carter was a Smarties candy.

we went to the word of life church for the spectacular Trunk or Treat! I have to say I was skeptical at first due to the large amount of people ( 2000 people!) but IT ROCKED!! It was organized, fast and in control! The best part is the kids seeing other kids dressed up. If you did not go this year...I highly recommend you go next year!!

California Pictures

Here are some pictures of the trip...Great times!

Keisha & Steven where on Big Brother 10...
