� September 29, 2008 - What I've been up to...

Posted By Sami in My crazy days

Well, I've been working a lot. All last week and today too. But yesterday we were closed so I had a day of rest. :)
That's really all I've done actually.
Umm.. I got a cellphone. lol. I came home from work on... Friday I guess... and mom had bought me one. During break on Saturday I learned how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and part of Deck The Halls, on my keypad. lol.

Ok, this was super super short, but that's all I have to tell!

� Sep. 19, 2008 - Happy Birthday, Dylan

Posted By LeviMarkSuarez

Today is Dylan's birthday!! He is turning 16 this year, Wow! He is becoming Mama's big boy. LOL! HaHa! The great thing about Dylan is that he knows when I'm joking around and knows when to ignore me when I start acting dumb. LOL!

We are going to his party tomorrow though.

I am looking forward to seeing him again because I haven't for quite a while.

We met the Sensenig family at a park one summer.

Anyway, Mom and Dad invited them up a couple of times just to visit and have lunch or dinner with us.

Dylan and I became great friends and we hung out every time I saw him.

He is very talented with the guitar and the drums. Err....the kongo bongos. ; )

He and his family have spent the night a couple of times, but one time we stayed up so late listening to his "night night" music. (We love listening to jazz a lot!)

Hey Dylan, now that I bought a D.S. Lite, we can play together and I won't have to use yours!

Anyway, I just wanted to say Happy BirthDay to my awesome friend Dylan!!!!

P.S. I don't know if Paulie told you this but, we bought a Play Station 3!!

But, we didn't buy it for gaming purposes. We bought it mainly for watching DVDs. Because we bought an HD TV, we needed a really nice DVD player. It is a very good quality DVD player.

Paulie wants to play a little bit with his friends though on his college party.

� Sep. 14, 2008 - Bits and Pieces and LOTS of pictures

Posted By TNMOM in Fall

I know God won't give me anything I can't handle;
I just wish He didn't trust me so much.
~~~~~Mother Teresa

Updating.... since I haven't in a while.
There are lots of bits and pieces in our lives right now I'll share a few.

This is the newest thing at our house. A mini 4-wheeler.

And I don't like it. But I know it's NOT about me.

We don't usually buy our children extravagant gifts and this is not a gift.

My dh spent his Saturday working for a friend and this was what they agreed to as payment. When I asked about payment dh said it was in the truck. I am always a little weary about things that are "in the truck".

At first I was not excited. But seeing the kids faces and the fun they were having makes me a little better with it. Safety first though. That's my concern with this.

The Re-enactment season has officially started.

More excitement!
I am not a camper so this is NOT for me.

However, my family really enjoy these weekends away.

I was dreaming a bit while they were gone this last time and I had the two youngest home with me. I was dreaming about the day they all go and I stay home alone.

What will I do with myself? I am sure that by that time I will have all the plans laid out. hehehe

There is lots to see at these. Somethings you'd wish you didn't see.

Like this.....

Yes, that is indeed a nail in his nose.
Is this not gross!!!??

He hammers it in and than later he pulls it out with a pliers.

And these went all the way down his throat.
All THREE swords at the same time. ICK!

Dollywood is always fun and we made it to Homeschool Day this year.

We went hiking for the first time this year with several homeschool families.
Look at this happy faced backpacker baby.

Do you think he liked the idea?

I am including this picture just because I want to remember this.

And the fact that I am failing as a mother. This one snuck out with no shoe laces. UGH!!

I love this picture but mostly I love this guy!
He just so happened to be the only daddy on this hike.

Oh good "NO CAMPING"

I have one boy who loves to wear a tie to church.
And here he is in his Sunday best..Every picture i tried to take he had his eyes closed on. This one was a bit different. He had his eyes again closed but at least his mouth was open.

Gas is a shocking $4.49 - $4.99 this weekend!
So the thought of staying home after church was accepted without a second thought.
However, Sami ended up going to Dollywood with some friends so I decided it was a good day to spend with my little girl. I took her to Starbucks where we played Scrabble, Hangman and Tic Tac Toe. She loves her mommy time and I love my Sarah time.

Busy Week Ahead

We have school work to catch up on plus co-op classes. Than there is Boy Scouts, a tea Party, Dance, a homeschool picnic, my oldest sons birthday & a party, my daughter starts a new job that I need to drive her back and forth to.... and a moms night out squeezed in for good measure. Shew! AND I thought last week was busy. I need to sit back and see what we can cut out and what we can keep. When the school year kicks off we always put to much on our plates.
Life is full. Life is good.

How full is your plate this year?

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house.
Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.
~~~~Mother Teresa
