Funny Friday!

Will it take over?

Will what take over? Facebook, of course. It is my new addiction. Brandon thinks that I get on there to look for a new boyfriend but that is the last thing I want. I can't keep up with the man, kids, and jobs that I have. I have already found people that I haven't talked to in a very long time. It is kind of fun to see where everyone is at and get to know them again. Wally is against facebook so I tried for a long time not to get sucked in but it happened. Like a big vacuum it sucked me in and now I worry, will it take over my blog? Will it become more important to me? GASP! Surely not! Only time will tell.

Webkinz Wedding

During our Christmas visit to Nana and Papa's house we made time for a Webkinz wedding. Nana always goes way over the top. She made the lovely stage, bought the outfits, made a bouquet and corsages for the wedding party, and even made a wedding cake for the occasion. Autumn's frog and Sidney's frog were joined together in holy matrimony. Brandon was the pastor and we all got to be the on lookers. It was a hoot.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It!

Run For Your Life!!!!

Happy New Year!

I know that I am only 3 weeks late in telling you that. Work has just made it impossible for me to keep up with my blog. I know that you are tired of seeing the HEAD so I have posted some pics of what has happened in the month since I blogged last. Here it goes.......

This is the Christmas picture that I used in our card. I ran out of cards so I apologize to all of my friends in Colorado who didn't get one. I even got them to pose for some individual shots. I take what I can get.

Our next big happening was that Zach lost his first tooth. WooHoo the tooth fairy came too and left him $5. They don't get that for every tooth just the first one.

Brooklyn had her first band concert right before Christmas. She did a great job! She even played a couple Christmas songs for us at house church.

Our newest and most beloved addition to the house is GUITAR HERO! I must admit I find it quite fun. Jeff K. enjoys playing but only if he can wear the Hannah Montana wig while he does it. The little boys also get into it. They are the coolest showing off there buff bods.

I know that I always say this but I hope to be better about blogging. A new year could bring many new things to share about. Happy New Year!

Forth Photo

I have to go along with all of the 4th photos that I am finding on every ones blogs. I wasn't sure what to expect because we just had to erase everything on the computer and I wasn't sure how many pictures I would even have. I didn't know if there would be a 4th folder but there was and ttttaaaadddaaaa....

What comes up but a picture of my husbands big noggin and it's not even a good picture. Zach needed some close ups for a school project one night. So that is why we have that lovely pic. I bet that you all are jealous of my picture folders right now:)

Everyone should play along with the picture in...picture file

4th folder

Let's see if you can all come up with something better than the BIG HEAD!

Bird is the Word!

We had a very quiet, well not very quiet because we do have 3 kids, Thanksgiving. We stayed home this year and enjoyed a dinner of our own. Brandon cooked the bird because I was not about to stick my hand in the turkey's butt and pull out who knows what. We fixed the sides together and had way more food than we needed. It turned out better than I expected because I had kind of been depressed that week because I am used to big holidays with lots of family. It wasn't so bad spending time at home this Thanksgiving.

The Bird! So plump and juicy!

Turkey, rolls, potatoes, corn, gravy, green bean casserole, stuffing, jello, and pie

We are very blessed in deed!

Where Do Crescent Rolls Come From?

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

The most wonderful time of year for me is the annual Yada shopping trip. I love the time that I get to spend with these ladies. They are the best of friends. We laugh ALOT, sometimes cry, and everything in between. It is great to know that you can go months without seeing them and get together and it seems like we were never apart. We shopped our butts off. I think we spend almost 20 hours shopping on our trip. This was a mile stone year for us as well because there was no one breast feeding on the trip. I didn't see any ones boobs this year. Next year won't be the same since Kristi is going to have another baby. We will have to see her boob I'm sure. I was so thankful for the time we had together and can't hardly wait till next year.

After 16 hours of shopping, this is our load. We take it back to the room for show and tell.

The greatest group of ladies!

One of these ladies went home with a hot pair of men's chili pepper thong underwear that I couldn't resist putting in our exchange gift. They were hilarious! What Fun!

What a Weekend!

We had one busy weekend considering that it was our first weekend without soccer and I thought that we would get to relax. We did not relax. Friday we drove to Longmont and went to a Go Fish concert. I thought that it was more fun than Brandon did. They are a Christian kids band. They are better than the Wiggles. The kids really enjoyed it.

On Saturday we got ticket to the CU vs. OSU football game in Boulder. Not exactly my cup of tea but I took one for the family and sucked it up. The temperatures could have been worse. God must have known how miserable I would have been if I was cold. We sat by some good friends and had a fun time. We even took the shuttle bus to the game for an added experience.

At one point I caught Brooklyn cheering for the Buffs. GASP!

Now I need a day off to recover from our days off. It was a great weekend filled with wonderful family time. We need to cherish those times.

Character Counts

I got a call from Zach's teacher yesterday at work saying that they chose him to receive the character counts award for this month at school. He won the reward for being responsible. They said that they can always count on him to be working on what he is suppose to be doing. He is always following instructions and staying on task. Who's kid is this anyway and why doesn't he do this at home! We are very proud of him and I'm glad that he listens to somebody. Way to go Zach!

Don't Forget To Vote

Tuesday is the big day! Don't forget to...

What do Star Wars, Hannah, and a Trash Can have in common?

You guessed it! It was all costumes that my kids wore for Halloween. It was a beautiful evening. The temps were in the 60's. You didn't have to wear a big bulky coat over your costume like in so many Halloweens past. Zach did his usual 10 houses and was done with it all. It works out good for me because them Zach and I just get to sit at home and pass out candy. Brandon takes the girls out a little farther and they all end up with way more candy than they would ever need. I hope that you all had a good evening too!

The Loot!

A dental bill waiting to happen!

Trick or Treat!

Happy Trick or Treat Day!

Bingo!

Should I vote for Obama or McCain?

Your Issue Profile: 52% Obama, 48% McCain

Truth be told, you're not really satisfied with either of the candidates. You could vote for either of them. You are the typical coveted swing voter. You may want to narrow yourself down to a particular set of issues in order to pick your president. Or start looking at third party candidates. One of them might suit you better.

Should You Vote for Obama or McCain?

They hit the nail on the head with this quiz. Is it to late to pick 2 different candidates. I'm not impressed with either one.

Get A Kick Out Of This!

Jaime, one of the moms from Brook's soccer team snapped this picture. It shows how much determination Brooklyn plays with. She loves the game. I hope she keeps it up.

I've made myself reappear

It has been a long time since I have blogged. A lot has happened in that time. I must first give a shout out to my husband of 11years. Today is our anniversary. The time has gone by so fast and I love him more today than ever. He puts up with a bunch of stuff(mainly me) and he hasn't left yet.

I love you honey!

Now back to la vida loca. The kids started back to school in August. It was so strange to not look down and still have one standing by my leg. All 3 are going to the same school and they are doing great. We had our first parent/teacher conference in October. I was very worried about the report I would get with Zach. He is by far my most stubborn child but they teachers said that he is the hardest working kid in the class. I told them they must have the wrong child "my sons name is Zach". She assured me that she was talking about Zach and was glad that he was in the class. What a relief for me. Sidney got the same report, good student but easily distracted. Brooklyn got the people pleaser award and everything was great. I will take those reports any day.

Right after the kids started school I started a new job. I am now employed at Orlando Chiropractic. I am a chiropractic assistant. That job entails all of the front office duties and helping to take care of patients as well. It is a much more rewarding job than Target.

Sidney turned 9 in the midst of all of this. She had a girl pampering party. I had my friends come over and one did the girls' hair, one painted toe nails, and I gave them a manicure. After they were beautified we all went out to dinner at Chile's. Good times were had by all.
Soccer is in full swing. Both of the girls are playing on traveling teams again. This year we are getting the true meaning of travel. They have been playing up and down the front range. Most Saturdays we have to split up to get the girls to their games. Brandon is the assistant coach for Sid's team. He loves coaching. Brooklyn had a tournament a couple weeks ago. She got second place. They played extra tough and exceeded our expectations.Soccer, school, work, and church pretty much take up our time. I hope that I will find the time to get back to blogging regularly so I can keep everyone updated. Have a great Saturday!

Looking For A Job

As most of you know I have been looking for a job, off and on, for some time now. I think the reason I hate looking for a job is the stupid process you have to go through to get the job. The dumb questions they ask you on a resume and in the interviews. I came across this application that was filled out for a job at McDonald's and it cracked me up. I so want to have the nerve to do this someday.

McDonald's APPLICATION
This is an actual job application a 17-year-old boy submitted at a McDonald’s fast-food establishment in Florida – and they hired him because he was so honest and funny!

NAME: John Smith
SEX: Not yet. Still waiting for the right person.
DESIRED POSITION: Company’s President or Vice President. But seriously, whatever’s available. If I were in a position to be picky, I wouldn’t be applying here in the first place.
DESIRED SALARY: $185,000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovitz style severance package. If that’s not possible, make an offer and we can haggle.
EDUCATION: Yes.
LAST POSITION HELD: Target for middle management hostility.
SALARY: Less than I’m worth.
MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen pens and post-it notes.
REASON FOR LEAVING: It sucked.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?Yes, but they’re better suited to a more intimate environment.
MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER? If I had one, would I be here?
DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 LBS? Of what?
DO YOU HAVE A CAR?I think the more appropriate question here would be “Do you have a car that runs?”
HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing house Sweepstakes.
DO YOU SMOKE?On the job no, on my breaks yes.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blond super model who thinks I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I’d like to be doing that now.
DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?Yes – Absolutely.
SIGN HERE: Aries.

I'm A Wally Fan

You may be asking Wally who? Wally is my favorite DJ. Brandon thinks that I have a crush on Wally. He is just a hilarious DJ who hosts a funny evening show on Way FM 89.7. If you ever get a chance to listen to him and need a good laugh he is on from 6 to 10pm Monday thru Friday. I know that this is the cheesiest plug but I even laughed when I went to his website and found his todo list. I had to post it because he made me laugh again. I went to the website to begin with because I have been listening to Wally for a while and began to get really curious about what he looked like. Radio personalities never really look like what you expect them to look like. I was shocked to see Wally. I had him pictured as wwwaaayyy cooler but it won't stop me from listening to him. You can check him out at totalaxxess.com.
