Hope You Have A Fantastic 2009

Hope you all had a great Christmas with your friends and family. My Christmas kinda sucked since my husband is still in the stupid sandbox...But he will be coming home SOON! YAY!!!

My daughters biological father came up and brought her other brother Brian and her sister Nikki to meet her for the 1st time. It was cool. The girls had so much fun together! Even Brian did as well... Jayson stayed hidden upstairs most of the time! Little Snot!

You wouldnt know that Christina and her sister are actually 2 years apart.. They look so much alike!!
Anyway here are some pics from their visit .

From My Family To Yours Hope you have a GREAT 2009!!!

Instead Of Christmas Time Its Crazy Time Here LOL

I may have mentioned before my life is a bit insane LOL..... Things have been so busy here its nuts! But its all good......My husband will be coming home soon... I so cant wait for him to get here. I miss him so much!!! Have I mentioned I HATE 15 month deployments???
At least we get to talk on the phone ya know?
It doesnt really feel like Christmas without him around.... He loves teasing me and Chris when we are decorating the house or picking on Jayson while he is helping do the lights....Even doing the baking yesterday seemed strange,...... He ALWAYS swipes one of whatever we are cooking( ya know gotta do that taste test thing to make sure it tastes good kinda deal)
We just need him home!
Anyway as I mentioned me & Chris & Jay were baking yesterday and we still arent finished( sucks when ya run out of vanilla LOL) but we did get alot done yesterday..... Including making truffles...... The only nice thing about the snow is that helped everything cool down faster as we sticking things outside to cool since we had no room anywhere else! Anyway back to the truffles
once they were chilled enough for us to roll them into balls Me & Christina started rolling them out then rolling in cocoa powder..... well one thing led to another and her and I ended up in a cocoa powder fight.... it was hilarious..... the funny thing is though Smirnoff & Bacardi got into the middle of it and ended up with cocoa powder over their faces( they love chasing us LOL)
Once Christina seen them she said with a a straight face( which had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face) " Hey Mom I didn't know we had Chocolate Labs"

anyway here is a few pics from yesterday! Also a pic of the kids with our friends puppy Zoey( isn't she adorable?)

Till Next Time
Happy Holidays!

Cheerleading Is Over :(

Well our girls went to NJ last weekend and ended up placing 9th place out of 14. Its sucks so bad.
The girls has ZERO deductions but the judges hated the routine! go figure though 9 of the 12 teams going to Disney World are from NJ hmmmmm
anyway we had a good time....
Here is a pic of me & Christina before heading to the competition.

Grrr Teeanage Attitude

Grrrrr teenage attitudes suck! Not one but both have been giving me lip since this morning and I am ready to pull my hair out.......

I tell them to clean up they do everything but what I have asked.
If they actually do it it takes them FOREVER!!!!

How can one person spend 4 hours on their room and have ONE freaking basket of clothes done
?? ...and NOTHING ELSE !!!


I am sick of this crap. They want their allowance but yet they dont want to work for it

Breast Cancer Walk

Wooohooo my friend Tammi & I along with my 2 kids all did the Breast Cancer Walk yesterday . It was sooo much fun!!! My son ended up running the 5 mile part of it while Chris,Tammi & I just did the walk part of it. It was a blast. The weather was gorgeous!!!

This pic is of us all after the walk!!!

What a GREAT R & R

Oh man this last 18 days have been soooo awesome! its been great having him home!

We had so much fun and no stress at all. We just kinda went with the day. We went 4 Wheeling a few times. Went up to ABay a few times and visited a winery plus just hung around the house and spent time together as a family!!!

As much as I dont want to I put him on the plane back to that hellhole Saturday morning.
