Singin in the Rain!

Our Memorial Weekend was really relaxing, done on purpose. We had several invites but weren't able to go due to either weather conflicts, car conflicts, or babysitting conflicts. It rained everyday but when life gives you rain ~ Dance In It!

My fantastic cook of a hubby stood in the rain, at "the pit" all day! His ribs were fall off the bone good! Beans, and potato salad and pitchers of margaritas (none for Ms Daina :( and Texas Hold Em till morning! We had such a good time ~ tho I STINK @ Tx Hold Em!

I KNOW I SUCK AT BLOGGING!

Summer is almost here and this year I can't wait, it's usually the opposite because I always have 10 extra kids and work 12 hours a day. This year I'm cutting back!!!! YES!!!! Just 1 extra for now, but Dakota is 2 and has been w/me since 6weeks so he is 1 of my own. Since March we have been busy, busy, busy....end of the year school projects, cheer banquet, San Antonio, house updates ;), wrecked my car ~ UHGGGGG, Memorial Day, blah...blah, blah. So here are a few pics, sorry I suck so bad at blogging!

A random thought.....

Today it's raining (storming actually)....today... I DO NOT look like Gretchen (scroll down if you're wondering WTF!). Thanks AGAIN Shelly!

House Update

Slowly but surely the house is coming back! I will post new pics soon! I didn't like the landscaping so I hired someone else. The paint is gorgeous!!!! It TRULY transformed this entire house! Curtains come in tonight and couch will be Sat 4/4! Lindsey's room is under construction, AGAIN. The girl is never satisfied! The porch looks fantastic!

1st Movie without Mommy

Dear Lord keep her safe....said over and over and over and over and over......Maddie, Lindsey, and Amy went to the movies alone for the 1st time Saturday 3/7/2009. Only a mother that's lived to tell about it knows how very difficult it was to drop my baby off and NOT go in and hide....to simply love and trust, oh and hand her $30 bucks too. All for MALL COP! Really!!!?!!!?!!!?!! The ladies in Home Depot (next door to the movies :) kept asking, " Ma'am are you ok?" Crying as I shopped to waste time......We remember the moments......

A beautiful trio of young ladies, Thank you Lord for my many MANY blessings.

Change of Plans...

Little miss Diva (Kaleigh) got really sick Thursday morning, so no sleep over and no quiet house. Poor sweetie threw up so much and high, high fever! Painters are gone and NOW after the throw up, the carpets are clean too. This is all I can manage for the moment since "the big house on Molasses" is still turned completely upside down, it's like we're moving in again ~ having to put everything back up and essentially decorate again....the house looks great and here's a sneak peak.....

Whooped, I say!

Well, good grief and darn I'm tired. Lotta work going on around here and messing up my schedule w/my young uns'!!!!! But it will be worth it in the end. Landscaping is done and we are still paint progress. I added more rooms, might as well get the girl's done b4 summer and then I can relax and head out for the water. My sweetie bought me the new sony cybershot touch screen camera (he wanted me to think that all I got for valentines day was a washer and dryer ~ol sneaky pete!!!) so look for new and improved photos to come! Stay tuned for more b4 and after pics.....all should be quiet this weekend, both girls will be gone so I can take pics and post.

Oh! and by the way....I went blonde (or lots of highlights) and I dont think I like it too well!
