Blast from the past....

I had to share these pictures with you. I was cleaning out a picture box tonight and found some old pic's. I know not everyone thinks they were a cute baby/kid, but I was so cute. Not that I have a big head or anything, but look at that face. Do you think my kid's look like me? I see Aidan in the eyes. I had a lot darker hair than they do. Can you say hideous? That tub is so nasty. I have no idea where I was, but I feel sorry for the 70's. So here we are in High School. Can anyone say too skinny? I was 5'10 and 125 lbs. Yes, you read it right. I was really working it in this photo. I will say that at this point in my life I never thought I was fat. Now, 10 lbs later, yes, I was mortified. What I would't do to weigh 135 agian? Well maybe not. So hear I am with my sweet hubby. We were married 5 years ago in Montego Bay, Jamacia. I love this picture. The water makes me miss the ocean so much. We plan to renew our vows there on our 10 year anniversary. Really it is just a chance to go back to Jamacia. LOL

Me Now...... You say I don't see a picture of you now? That's right, I am always taking the pictures, so there are not many of me. Not worth sharing anyway. Let's just look at the before children "Me" and say Wow life sure has made me HAPPY!!!!!!!

Orlando Advice PLEASE

We are off to Orlando in a few short weeks and I am running out of time to research the area. I am hoping all of my travel savvy friends can help me out. I have been to Orlando and Disney World once before, but we only visited the park. I want to try and venture out into the city this time. So here are a few questions I have:

1) Any good short cuts when driving there?
2) Any good places to stop on the way? We will need many breaks I am sure. I thought Chattanooga or Atlanta, but don't remember seeing much after Atlanta.
3) We will have kids in the car for 10 hours, so any suggestions there. We do have DVD player, thank goodness.
4) Places to see in or around Orlando. My mom will be there, so we can shop and hubby and I can get some alone time as well.
5) Suggestions about parks or parking, discounts, etc.
6) Any advice at all!!


You all ROCK and I really appreciate your help!!!

Can anyone say - Crudy?

So that is how I feel. CRUDY!!! I feel as though my son has stuck peas up my nose and I can no longer breath. It is no fun. I HAVE to get better before next Wednesday. My mommy comes in to town and she will get sick just looking at a sick person. LOL We leave for Orlando on the 12th, so I really have to be better by then.

Feeling bad is not helping with getting the house ready to sell. So overwhelming.

Just wanted to tell everyone how bad I feel, so you could feel better than I do. HAHA

My weekend

So I am still wondering WHERE DID THE WEEK GO? I ask myself that all of the time. DO YOU? I remember being in 10th grade and sitting there thinking that 1st period was never going to end and would I ever be able to wait for my date that weekend. Now I close my eyes and the end of the week is here. Now--- I must say on those days when the kids are on my last nerve and everything is going wrong , the days feel more like 1st period. All the days just seem to blend together.

So, the sad thing is, it took me 5 minutes to remember what I did this weekend. I am so bad at remembering yesterday. So this weekend was not to eventful. Took Taylor to gymnastics on Saturday and the we came home and worried about how to get gas for church on Sunday. No gas to be found, so no church on Sunday. Found out there was gas in Kentucky, so we headed there to see my family. In all my spare time I packed and worked on the house. I do not feel like I am making much progress. It is never ending. That is about it for the weekend.

Today I met some girls from MOPS at Cornerstone and we let the kids play. I cam home for an hour and then it was off to take Taylor to dance for two hours. Stopped at Kroger's, cleaned out my car and ran into Dillard's where I found there are no good sales. This week is super busy and of coarse there is no gas and I have to drive a TON this week. Wish me luck on all my weekly adventures.

Today we jumped

Today we decided to go to the Jump Factory in Pleasant View with my friend Beth and my Sister-n-Law, Amy. We had a good morning and everyone got ready with no problems. Yeah God!

I must say that the Jump Factory is closing down in a few weeks and I am so bummed. I was looking forward to going there this winter.

When we arrive, I was shocked when my 18 month old decided to run off and immediattly go down the biggest slide in there. All by himself I might add. I watched him do everything all the other kids did without thinking twice. So here I am the proud mama watching her baby and feeling like he is so advanced. Then I stop and think for a minute and realize that he is my baby and what is he thinking, growing up so fast. Boo Hoo....

The pic's are super blury, because I got this new small camera and have yet to read the direction on how to use it. I am so like a man in that area. I need to hire someone to read all my manuals for me. It would make my life so much easier.

After Aidan's nap we went outside and enjoyed the perfect weather. It ended up being a great day and I just pray tomorrow is a good one.

My sweet baby boo's

So I wanted to say I started a post on 9-17, but I finsihed it today. Somehow I lost it all. It was a long and intense post and I am so bummed. Boo Hoo Anyways, I thought I would post some recent pic's of the kids.

First time Blogging

I am officially a Blogger!!!!

So can I tell you that I have finally decided to get on board with the whole blogging phenominom!! I am sitting here thinking about all of things that I need to be doing, but know that creating my blog-site will take one item off my to-do list. I might add that this has been on my to-do list for 2 years. I guess I am a little slow. With Myspace and Facebook, I am just a little overwhelmed with the thought of updating one more site.

So I will say that today is the day that I have joined my fellow bloggers.
