Brittany's 17th Birthday

October is always a crazy busy month for us. With lots of birthdays. Homecomings and Homecoming dances.

So this year we decided to have a joint birthday for Brittany with her cousin Courtney who turned 18 and Brittany turned 17. We had a nice time and it was a nice relaxing party.

Of course someone decided to prank our school by shooting paintballs all over the side of the building. Not a good thing!

Life....

Well I haven't been good about blogging... So much has happened since the first day of school.

Brittany is a cheerleader for her school. She made Varsity. So we have a lot of cheer things going on. Between Friday night football games and cheer competitions we are busy!

Then we had a Babyshower for my Grandaughter to be. It was held at Brittany S's dads house. It was a picnic and we had a really nice time.

Brittany's NOT first day of her Junior year

So yesterday we had a yucky memorial day. It rained all day and we just stayed home. The steaks we cooked were tough I was not happy. My end of the summer didn't go the way I wanted.

It could only get better today...Right? nope!

Brittany woke up throwing up! Yes on the FIRST day of her Junior year. She tried to get ready for school. Got dressed and dad even took her. But the school nurse sent her home. She said she couldn't stay. We are hoping its just her normal tummy issues.

Here is two pictures from our morning. It was raining outside so we just got these two.

Brittany's Summer Dance Recital 2009

Brittany had a dance recital this past weekend. It was so relaxing. She only had one dance in one show. Normally we have like 3 shows and 8 dances. Afterwards we went shopping and had lunch at the mall.

Brittany....I didn't realize how dark her hair was until she was up on stage dancing

July 4th, 2009

I realize that I am always late in posting but that is okay right? Its my blog and it will still be there for the memories and that is what is important :)

We went to my sils for the 4th. We had a nice time until the end. When we were cleaning up there was a big family argument. Which is a shame because it ruined the whole day. But I got these pictures before everything happened.

My 40th Birthday!

Last Saturday, June 27th, 2009 my family and I celebrated my birthday. It was the MOST awesome birthday every. They had a day of events planned. I was told to be ready at 10:30 to hit the road and to shave my legs

What I woke up to in the morning


We took off and had lunch at Red Lobster. I LOVE Seafood!
Cj, Cecil and Brittany

Jose, ME, and Brittany S

Everyone had lunch with me and then they all left and it was just me and Brittany.

We went to the scrapbook store to shop :)

Then we went to Kohl's and got a new outfit :)


Then we went to get Manicures and Pedicures



And last we had ice cream. It was the most special birthday the family has ever done. While I am turning 40 and most people hate that I don't. I feel good about that. I have many things to look forward to in the future. Kids getting married and having children.

Age is but a number. Living life with no regrets is my plan!

Going to be a Grandma!

Well I am so excited to be posting these pictures....it makes it seem real now. But I am going to be a Grandma. Of course its not in the way we all plan for our children to do. But I have to just deal with that. We hope that our kids do First comes LOVE, Then comes MARRIAGE, Then comes the BABY in the baby carriage.

BUT I feel that there is a purpose for EVERY child that is born. My niece is an unwed Mother and she has a sweet and wonderful loving daughter.

So here are my Grandbaby Pictures. We don't know if its a boy or a girl yet. And probably won't know until like August. Doctor thinks its a boy by the heart beat and how low she is carrying it.





Baby is due Christmas Eve!

Busy Busy Busy

I just realized today that its been a month since I have written. I have NO life lately it feels like. Work has been insanely crazy. If there is a bad economy it sure hasn't hit in the RV world. We have so many people that come to our park that just travel all the time. I think that would be a lot of fun to do when I am older.

Last weekend I got to hang out with my friend Georgette. We scrapbooked. I stayed over night and she fixed me these awesome French Toast with Raspberry Jam it was to die for. Lets just say it wasn't low calorie either!

I scrapped 22 pages so I am up to 83 this year...my goal is 100. I think I just might make it :)

Here are a couple of the pages that I did.
Cj in Eleventh Grade

Brittany in 8th Grade

Soccer pictures of Jose (Britt's boyfriend) he was so excited to see these




Other stuff that has been happening around here... CJ moved out he and his girlfriend moved about 2 weeks ago right up the road about 4/10th of a mile away. They are expecting a baby Christmas Eve

Brittany has been sick and has been going through a lot of testing. They don't know what is wrong with her :(

Busy

I am sorry I have been so busy and just haven't had anything new happening in my life.

I started working 4 weeks ago at an RV camp. I work in the office.. checking in people and making reservations. We have been busy! The economy has NOT hit there that is for sure.

I have had very sick kids this week. Brittany is on the mend and will go back to school on Monday. CJ is finally starting to feel better but has to go to another doctor to rule out a serious condition. I am praying that him starting to feel better is a sign that he doesn't have it. Would you pray with me? We are calling on Monday morning to get an appointment right away.

More Scrapbooking

Remember I am trying to get to my goal of 100 this year. Well my blog is my way of remembering where I am at..lol

I did 4 more pages a couple of weeks ago. I didn't take good pictures. But now I am at 61 pages for the year. Oh and I did 3 cards!

Ring Dance 2009

Last night Brittany and Jose went to Brittany's ring dance. I can't believe she is already old enough to drive a car and NOW get her class ring. Where does the time go?
Here are some pictures

Yes she is slouching cause she is taller then him and even more taller with heels on...lol

I got a job!

I am so excited.. I finally got a job! After applying for 64 jobs since last August...I finally got one. Thursday I interviewed at a local campground for an office position. I didn't think I had it because she said she was going to call Thursday or Friday..well she called today Saturday and I start on Monday!

Its part time for now...which is enough for me to get started...and have my own money :)

Never a dull moment.....

There is never a dull moment in my home lately.. This is my son CJ who I had to take to the ER yesterday. His one eye was about closed. The doctors say its a Sty...Looks terrible to me.. Today it looks a tiny bit better
