I WIN!

Just by the hair on my chiny chin chin!---
Well life is extremely busy busy busy!
Anyone who works or has a family knows-
very little me time!
Well I do have to admit
when christy told me I had eye candy on my blog-
I was really hoping for a little bubblegum shot!
You have to ask christy all about this- if you don't know the undercover
meaning of bubblegum.
However you one uped me with a little making memories treat-luv it!
I survived my week in vegas with christy- only to arrive home totally exhausted.
(boy does she wear me out) My kids are awesome- they missed me as much as i missed them.
My babies fell asleep in my arms that night-no feeling is better than holding your sleeping babes.
Here in virginia- fall is in the air! It's gorgeous- the mountains around me are a rainbow of
leaves changing colors- the air is crisp and cool! This is by far my favorite season-
the holidays are coming and I love halloween! I'm just a big kid. I don't know who gets more excited me or them.
My husband has started a new job- working at night- it's a big change for us - he's on week 2 with ups. Trying to adjust has been challenging. He is home during the day with jeremiah- my 5
month old- anyway keep us in your thoughts . so far so good.
Jeremiah is soooo sweet- He is almost 6 months- smiles and babbles all the time- he melts my heart- even at 1 and 4 am- when he wakes up to chat with me- such a stinker
Jillian is 3- my wild child- she is still having a time with the new baby in the house- everyday is
a new adventure with jillian and her many mood changes- oh the stories i need to scrapbook- I'm sure someday as adult she will appreciate all her little dramatic moments of rebellion
Then there's joshua 6- what more can I say than he is my little prince- just kidding-to say he does no wrong would be a lie-but he is precious!!
Then there's jennifer my 14 year old starting highschool this year- God love her- the hormone are overflowing- one minute she's sweet as pie and the next she hates me. I only hope she'll
stay close to me- she reminds me almost daily 4 years left until I'm outta here- I pray she doesn't run too far. I would be devastated- she's growing into such a beautifu young woman-
I swear she is much busier than i was at her age. Lots of groups and activities. part-time job at
the ymca assisting the swim coaches, between school, little job, and church- I feel like we're running all the time.
Well this is just a little update- I will try and post some updated photos soon!
It's cold outside now - so I hope to catch up with mandy in her new house this weekend for a little scrappin- if I can break away from my crew for a little while.
Hope everyone is doing well- I think about all my scrappin freinds alot- I hope everyone is thinking about a little heidi swapp creative escape next year- any thoughts on are next adventure--Now is the time to start planning ahead...........

I'm hijacking this blog!!

Christy here.
Okay we all know it's dangerous to let friends know passwords to blogs because they might delete them but instead I have decided to just hijack it for a period of time.

Tricia you have 24 hours to update this blog. What you will get from it....a lavendar MM 8x8 album, not available in stores, with matching paper and rub-ons. What do you get if you don't update within 24hrs....I will give it away on my blog! Oh the cruelty!

It's 2:40 pm Central Standard Time, Tuesday October 24th and the clock is ticking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

silly girls

Posted by Picasa Well are final night in vegas- we went to the bellagio-it was amazing to see. This was after
8 hours in the casino with free drinks all day.
I had some great luck with the slots- and Christy spent her day at the roulette table.
We both won money. Yeah!
I have had a great time, I think you could spend several weeks here and still find stuff to do.
Its sensory overload- so much to see and do.
The lights, the sounds, and all the differant people- its something.
I told christy I'm so glad we got to come while we're still young, -everywhere you look there are
retired folk-good for them. It's been a blast, but I'm sooo ready to get home and see my babies.
I miss them terribly. I have to say my husband has been great this week and he has done a fabulous job-I'm sooo proud of him. It seems as if everything has run smoothly. I can't wait to get my hands on all of them-I get so homesick when away- you know what they say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Well I'm off for a big day of travel- wish me luck.

viva las vegas

I can't help but think as I walk through the hotels - this feels like a grown up Busch-Gardens
with lots of bright lights and drinking. I love it! I think I could easily get sucked in to the
gambling-it's a good thing I'm on such a tight budget. To get anyhere here you have to walk through the casinos and christy has had to push me through. I love the slots!!!
My flight was pretty shitty. I love my babies-however when it's someone elses screaming
for 5 hours and kicking you in the back, not to mention touching your butt- no fun.
Let me tell you we havent stopped laughing- We have so much fun together!!!
We are like 2 sixteen year olds- nonstop giggling-and if you only knew what we were
whispering about.
The scrapbooking show has been overwhelming- so much product and the cruel part is
I can't have any of it.
I do miss my babies---lots of babies here and it makes my heart ache for my little jeremiah.
Not to mention my joshua and jennifer calling me on the cell phone several times a day.
I miss them- these get aways help to be a better mom. We all need a little me time.
Well I'm exhausted- off to take a little mid-day rest. Gotta get ready for the night- life!!!
