Ok I know its been well over a month since I last posted but man its been crazy
FIRST The concert was freaking awesome... he was too cool.... then had fireworks afterwards...... THEN in the middle of July my husband and I were able to find a place to rent here in Lawton for only $425 a month yay! Then on July 21st I received a phone call from my friend Michelle........She gave me the worse news a wife could ever receive she had lost her husband in the war in Afghanistan :( my heart still breaks for her... She is strong though....The funeral was intense and sad...but beautiful... each one of his kids along with Michelle and his parents received a flag....

along side all of this I have started working at the Shoppette on the base,. My work hours are crazy but its ok. There is never a lack of action around the store lol

woohoo my kids start back to school on the 21st!! YAY!!

Lazy Day In OK

Hey all.... Well it was lazy day in OK but we had a fun day! We went to a museum about Fort Sill then went to Geronimo's grave( along where his wife and children are buried)
very interesting! Then went to the Mall( Damn I know Salmon Run Mall was small but this mall is even smaller!)We walked the whole mall in like 10 minutes( and yes that even stopping in stores to look!)Came back and hung out here for a bit. Sat down and played Phase 10 with Mike and Christina and Amanda..... LOL Amanda came from behind and kicked out asses! Well later on Mike and I and the kids went for a walk...Course it wasnt a long run cause 1/2 through it Mike had to go to the bathroom so came home and then everyone was just to hot so said we would do it tonight........Little bit of drama here but thats life in a house with 3 families!!!! oooooo Also where we are staying at is right down the street from Polo Field( yep the SAME place where TIM MCGRAW will be flying into on Friday for the concert!)Well a ton of buses escorted by a few MP's came down our road ... That could only mean one thing!!! Welcome Home Soldiers!!! It was too cool. We got to hear everyone screaming and such........I am so behind in creating.... I need to work on some packs this week at some point! I also applied for a job at AAFES so keep your fingers crossed for me!! Anyway I am off need to run to the store... Have a good day! oh yea the picture is taken on Saturday June 27th! Look at my daughter's dark hair:( She looks good though!:)

WOW Time Flies

LOL I cant believe its been a month since I last posted.... But in that month LOADS of things happened( all for the good of course!)
1st off my husband Michael returned safely from Iraq on the 1st....YAY!!!
2 we got our tax refund so we bought a few things for the house and for me including a new printer! I sooo needed one....
Also we went on vacation to both Ohio and Minnesota to visit both sides of the family....
We had alot of fun! While we were in MN we went to this HUGE outdoor sports place called Cabela's...its so awesome... we love going there every time we go home. My FIL was nice enough to buy Jay & Christina helmets for the 4 wheeler. Then when we went to Cabela's Michael bought us one as we needed it.... We also went to the Mall Of America and had such an awesome time.....If you havent been there.... you should go . its so cool...With Legoland and the Nick themepark in there plus the hundreds of stores...its so worth the trip. They also have this awesome underwater adventure aquarium... There is a 300 foot tunnel that you walk through and meanwhile all the sharks and sting rays and a couple HUGE turtle float around you,... it was amazing... got some good pics there too.....will try to post some of them later for you.... We returned home a day later than we originally intended but that was due to weather issues... Course now we are all sicker than dogs. Chris and Mike are the worse though.. They have nasty sinus infections.
The picture I am sharing is when Christina walked up to the glass to the see the turtle better it floated up to her as if to say hi.... She is such an animal magnet LOL

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.

Finally an update!

well I finally got around to updating this blog here... As you can see I changed the name! I dont know I guess I got tired of the old one LOL.... I am still updating the rest of the blog and also should have some new creations soon to share!


On the homefront news........My husband's 3rd deployment is almost over wooohoooo! I can't wait! He is reenlisting this month and next year we are heading to Fort Sill OK!! YAY! Can't wait. I have a couple of friends out there already and made some new ones just recently! I can't wait to meet them in person!

Also my daughter Christina's cheerleading squad will be heading to regionals soon.... Its such an exciting but stressful time!

My son Jayson is doing fantastic in his schoolwork and really enjoys helping out the cheerleading squad whenever he can! He is also doing a great job in his gymnastics class!

My kids went out trick or treating and ended up having sooo much candy! LOL The pic in my profile is after trick or treating! See that huge pile of candy???

Ughh cant believe how much snow we got last week.... Thankfully it is all pretty much melted and it was actually warm on Halloween( unlike past years!) Here is a couple of pics just around my area ....Cant wait till I am outta here!

Anyway I am off and running now you all have a fantastic day!
