Hello, Hello!

Hello to you all! Hope you all had a great thanksgiving! Christmas is right around the corner and I am proud do say that for this close to Christmas, I have more shopping done than I have ever had done at this point. I don't have a whole lot to tell but a couple of cute pictures to post with just a few short stories behind each pic! Hope you all enjoy!

This first pic is of course Ben with the kiddos. This was the last night that we spent in my house before moving out here. They have the best time just being silly! The next couple of pics are of course, putting up the tree, or decorating it at least. I put it up but the kids, including Jameson put on the ornaments. (with a little help from "B")

Blah Mondays...

This post goes out especially to Robin and Amanda...hope its the highlight of your day!!!LOL! It just seems that the weekends fly by when the days get so much shorter now! Anyway...Hope everyone had a good weekend. I can't believe how cold it has gotten. We have been attempting to move to Ben's house since, cross your fingers, mine has hopefully sold if the buyers loan goes through. If it doesn't go thorough, please let everyone you know that my house is for sale. In town, two bedroom, two bath, all appliances included! Tell everyone!!! We just can't seem to get everything done. I hate moving in the cold but at this point we don't have much of a choice.

Has anyone got any christmas shopping done? Please tell me I am not the only one behind again this year. I do however have a little head start on next year! I have talked about it for years and I have finally done it and started a christmas club! Maybe that will help at least a little during the holiday time. Well I should get back to work since its close to time to go home. I have tomorrow off so until next time!...

ELECTION DAY!

The Big day is here! Election day!...and most of all important, my BIRTHDAY!!!! And what a rotten one it has been, we had to be here at work at 530 am and probably won't get done til between 7 and 8 tonight! So much for celebrating! Don't forget everyone to get out and exercise your right to vote. If you don't vote, you can't complain...

Jameson had a halloween party at preschool thursday and Chelsey had one friday. Wed and Thurs night we made treats for both of their parties. They turned out really cute. I will post some pictures as soon as I get them scanned onto the computer.

We had a busy weekend with trick or treating friday night, which Jameson wasn't exactly excited about. He was happier staying at mom and dads passing out candy. Hannah and Chelsey had a good time and got way to much candy of course. I hope to post some pics soon of all the holiday activites!

Another week and things are busy, busy! We have decided to move to Ben's house and put mine up for sale. We need more room and although Ben's doesn't have more room inside, there is so much room for them to play outside! We hope that once mine sells we can find something bigger that will fit all 5 of us! It is just way to scary with the economy right now to go ahead and buy something without knowing for sure if I can sell mine right now.

I have been working on Hannah's halloween costume the last couple of days. I never would have thought hot gluing strips of material to a shirt and pants would have taken so long! It is turning out really good though. Jameson is going to be a cowboy and Chelsey is going to be a mad hatter.

This weekend is going to be really busy. The church is taking the youth to Jackson's Orchard Saturday morning and then we are meeting back at the church that evening for the Hobo supper. Friday night, We are going to a halloween party at Danny and Darlene's. They have been working the last couple weeks on their haunted house and they say this year is going to be the best ever! I can't wait! The kids are all at good ages that they are so fun to watch them being silly and having a good time. I should have lots of pictures to post soon of all the excitement that we will have going on over the next several days!

Here are a few pics of the family fun project that we all did Sunday afternoon.

Here are some pics of the kids playing in the leaves yesterday at "TB and D's" as Jameson refers to them. They had a blast! This was his first real experience with playing in the leaves and actually experiencing the great "jump" into a big pile! Enjoy!!

A New Week

Monday again and I am so not ready for it. I was sick all weekend and I still feel a little sluggish... It was a beautiful weekend and I hate that I missed most of it. Yesterday was a good day. I was feeling a little better so me and Ben and the girls tie-dyed Halloween shirts. They were too cute and a really fun family project. Jameson was at his meme and poppy's so I got to make his and the girls also made one for Chloe and Jayden. We just took plain white shirts and put little knots on the front no bigger than an inch. Then dipped them in orange dye. After they dried, we took a black permanent marker and drew jack-o-lantern faces on the middles. They were really cute. The girls had a really good time. I will post some pics soon.

First Time For Everything

Ok, so I thought I would give this blog thing a whirl. I tend to procratinate so I am not sure how well I will keep up with this but I will do my best!

So...I am a newly wed as of May 31st! My husband, Ben and I live in town, which I find most convenient since I work at the courthouse and Jamesons" sitter lives at the end of my street. We have three children, (his two girls) Hannah, 11 and Chelsey 8 and the big boy of the bunch (my son) Jameson, 3. These first months with a bigger family have been very interesting and tough but in the end its worth it. So I am not exaclty sure what all to write about because most of anyone that will read this probably knows my story but for those who don't, there will be more to come later!
