Good Bye 2010 ...

2010 has come to a close.

As I look toward the New Year, I think of what I want the year to be. I want the year to be a positive year. I want to surround myself with positive and let anyone or anything negative flow by. I want my husband, kids and friends to be proud of the person that I am.

I want to take a more healthy approach to my families lifestyle.

Look out 2011 I am ready for you!!!

Catching Up ...

I don't know why but I have not been in blogging mood. So...I have a lot of catching up to do since March. I think the best way will be for me to catch up in scrapbook pages. I will scrapbook the adventures and post for viewing pleasure.

March is in full swing ...

It tis the month of green!!!

Also the month of Rich and I's anniversary ... OMG ... 15 years this year. In no way does it seem like it has been that long. Heck I don't look old enough to be married that long!!! Love it.

Cheer is coming to a wrap up and we will start prepping for next year cheer. Jeremy is going to start getting ready at school for middle school ... how did that happen???

February Update ...

It has been a while since I have blogged.

I have been soooo busy with Tuti Fruiti Designz.



Jeremy has been working hard in school. And has almost read through the whole Percy Jackson series. He saw the movie for a friends birthday so he wanted to read the first one before the movie. That seemed to have kicked him into gear to read the series!!!



Hannah is in full swing with her cheer. She convinced us to let her get a guinea pig. His name is Chip. He is adorable and they love each other so much. He talks to her his little guinea pig talk and she cuddles him.

Valentines 2010 ...

Happy Valentines Day...

This year we did a special gift for the kids. We made them candy story boards. They loved them.

Clovis High Pep Classic 2010 ...

Clovis United - Bubbles
Hannah's team took 2nd place at the Clovis High Pep Classic today.
She did great. This year her team is required to do more stunts. She is a flyer (which means she goes up in all the stunts). After lots of practice, her team pulled off a perfect stunt formation.
I cried with excitement that they did it!!!
Way to go ...

Band Concert ...

Thursday night was a big night for Jeremy. As a sixth grader, he got to go to Clovis High School and play his sax in a concert that included all the sixth graders from surrounding schools. It was awesome. He did so great.

First Sleepover ...

Last night Hannah went to her first sleepover.
She was so ecstatic and had the best time ever.

Haiti ...

My heart is sad for the innocent victims that have been struck by the earthquake in Haiti.

May the sun shine on them.

In the Works ...

I am sooooo excited.
My dear friend Tanya and I had been working for weeks on our Christmas crafts...when all of a sudden...we had a brilliant idea!!! Why not put our crafts to the test. We have decided to rent a booth at the Red Bank school carnival and market a few of our items. That means that we have 4 months to get to crafting and make our inventory.
Wish us luck!!!

A New Edition to the Blog ...

So excited ... just learned to add the signature to my blog ... love it!!!

2010 is going to be a great year.

I hereby pledge to try to update my blog more frequently.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO 2010 - a new decade.

1st Annual Polar Express Party ...

Last night we had our 1st Annual Polar Express PJ Party.

It was so great.

Everyone arrived in their best pajamas.

Awaiting their arrival was a hot chocolate bar, equipped with ... hot cocoa, whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate syrup, holiday sprinkles and candy canes.

For the age appropriate ... coffee with ... Bailey's, Kahlua or Peppermint Mocha creamer.

Everyone brought cookies to share.

We all snuggled around and watched the greatest holiday movie ever.

This is definatly a new tradition for us.

A Night on the Boardwalk ...

The pictures from the Mother/Son Dance finally have arrived!!!

What a cute couple we make!!!

I still am not sure as to when Jeremy grew up ... in my eyes he will forever be my little baby.

(Please excuse the fact that I look like I have had my hand in the cookie jar way too many times)

Here Comes Santa Claus ...

Our visit with Santa!!!

Black Friday ...

As much of a shopper as I am ... I am avoiding the Black Friday Door Busters. For some odd reason unbeknown to myself ... I have no desire to shop.

What has happened to me???

Yesterday we had a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner with just the four of us. And then ... off to work I went. The ER was soooooo sloooooowwwww ... something to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving ...

Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.

We are so thankful for everyone in our lives, our health and our love for one another.

Mother/Son Dance 2009

Last night was the mother/son dance at school.

We had such a great time. Jeremy is growing up so fast.

This is his last year at the elementary school.

Probably the last dance he and I will go to together ... next he will be taking a girlfriend :(

We danced the night away!!!
