To Joey and Amy!









Okay girls, I know you read this... So get ready to laugh or cry!

This is for the two of you...

Joe and I talk all the time... So do Amy and I.

I think anymore we talk about most of the same things. ( J, A and I) Just different context and one on one...

I had the funniest conversation last night with JOEY about passing gas... How many girlfriends do you know that you can do that with? I mean we laughed out loud... Toot here! Toot there! She is one of the most comfortable persons I know. I mean come on...I can relax with her and be myself! I couldn't talk about things with others that I do with her... NOT IN MILLION YEARS!!! I confide in her, laugh with her and eat Mexican food with her...Enjoy basket hunting with her. What more can I ask for.. Other then if we lived closer we could share a few fraps from Starbucks together. I couldn't ask for more....She is the best! No, I wont get mushy, she knows she is special... Even if she has squirrels in her tree~
Here's to you Joe....... The fridge! What a boring day back a few weeks ago.. cleaning out the fridge while being stuck at home with whiny kids that needed to get out! The fridge was EMPTY!! AND.....as you can see I really needed to go to the store so anyway I thought that what a better thing to do... being cooped up due to the weather I cleaned it! Then I took a picture after I went to the store.. Hey atleast while I did it I was inside nice and warm, but going crazy as one can see! Why else would I post this picture.. I am glad only friends and family read this! I must be CRAZY!

Miss Amy....

You have know idea what you mean to me...
I wouldnt have said it a few years back, we may not always see eye to eye, but we have one thing in common...BUB!
I know there is alot you miss that you wish you could share with us, as we miss the family time too!
Even though we can have dysfunctional families somehow there are a few that make it functional.
Do sister in laws talk about things we do? For the sake of embarrasment I wont go into the details! I know you have been through being away from a loved one, and though you are remarried you know what the seperation is from a hubby being away with the military. You know what is to feel the sleepless nights and sleeping alone, usually on the couch because the bed feels so big! I know that you are proud of Bub, and miss him, the boys and I.
You will be back before I know it and then the miles that are now between us will be a dream... Yeah....
A dream because I think that may be what keeps us sane... I know I had to ruin it ... I can't help it; I cant bring myself to be mushy!

Amy, I give you what you have missed... Pic's of the boys! Home!
J and A...
I love you guys! Sisters I have, but with them no relationship... The 2 of you make up for it. You guys are the best, I am glad that you are part of my life!
Thank you~ Hugs!

Snow play!



The boys went out to play as a group of three, however Trenton (4) came in crying that he wasnt having fun and it is too cold. The 2 year old and his big brother are sledding down the hill and as I peek outside and use the walkie talkies to talk to them I am told clearly how much fun they are having...The oldest politley told me to stop calling them. LOL!!! Christian is looking like an abombinal snowman... He is bundled up good.... LOL Trenton is sipping hot chocolate, snuggled under his comfy blanket watching GO Deigo Go waiting for his brothers to come back indoors. I think it wont be long since I dont want them getting sick on me..

Let It Snow!



We knew it was coming.... It just makes me excited to see it is actually here!
I love snow, we have had a lil here and a lil there. Today is the first "real" snow fall of the year. We had an accumulation of about 4 inches over a couple of days a few weeks ago, but it has been snowing since around 10am here. It is absolutley beautiful. We moved to the country 4 years ago and seeing the wooded hills in the winter is just breath taking when they are covered in snow.

I rushed to the store this morning to get a few groceries so that I would not have to travel when it was slick witht he children. There wasn't a speck of snow when I left but my van was covered when I got back outside from buying groceries. IT WAS SLICK TOO! I think I will bundle the boys up later and let them play after their nap... A lil snow never hurt anyone!

Victory!!!!!

The COLTS WON!!! I live in Indiana as you may already know.. Our team won the superbowl. My husband ALWAYS cheers for the opposing team that the Colts play but last night he was caught cheering a couple of times for the Colts. The Super Bowl really was SUPER!

I am feeling alot better from my cold last week. I am still not sleeping as well so I wish I could take a nap LOL! Hubby and I went out friday night and had a nice time. I can't believe how simple our "date" was. LOL!! We went to Fazolis, had spaghetti, salad and breadsticks... Then headed to the mall... It closed on us while we were inside looking at a Sleep number bed. Then we went to Walmart got a few groceries and came home !!! We laughed at how we are just like Ole Married folks! We had a great time without the boys and just being together... How was your all's weekend?
