Iowa, thanksgiving, Christmas list.....ect...

Hmmm well the hubby left for a business trip this morning to Iowa! he's only gone until tomorrow night but I still dislike it :( I guess it's just strange to be away from someone you love I don't know how so may women do it I may just be more selfish,dependent,insecure then all the other women who live weeks,months,years, without their husbands! I am forever in aww of fuses women! Great job to you!
When he get back tomorrow he will be home for 10 whole days :)
We've got a few plans to try and get done while he's home but not sure if they will pan out!
The kids go to school until Tuesday. We have our last soccer game this week and were done for the season!!!
Thanksgiving in a just a few days away and I can't wait to sepmd some much needed family fine with everyone! Also I'm looking forward to black Friday!!! Not sure if I'll buy anything but I really like going and watching everyone freak out! :)

The kids have circled their toys r us BIGBOOK and well I guess the do get more expensive the older they get but o guess were staying with in $300 per kid limit! Which now seems like a whole lot so I will be rethinking that one!!

Okay that's all for today have a great day

Opps!

Whew time flys and I forget to post here :(

But well it's been a carzy few weeks but we finally started to get cooler and maybe just maybe alittle bit of rain!!

Holley turned 9 and had a little get together with family!
Then we had Halloween just a few weeks ago and the kids had a blast of neighbors joined us for some trick or treating and then dinner at Whataburger! Where I must say am loving that they brought back the best burgers ever!! The A1 thick and hearty and the honey barbecue chicken strip sandwich!! Omg these burgers are so good but soooooo bad!!! but we had lots of fun and were done by 8pm which was aewsome since it was a school night! :)
The kids dressed up a a cheerleader,zombie,& dorothy!!

The kids are doing awesome in school they have each brought home at least 2 A's a week!!!
But they really are enjoying school and all there friends and teachers!

Now that the holidays are getting closer I'm super excited about thanksgiving and spending time without amazing families!! I'm not cooking this year but of course I can't help but think about the food!! Were going to spend the day with the hubbys family and then head over to my parents for dinnerand to get ready for BLACK FRIDAY!!! I'm not looking for anything really this year since the kids are kinda out of toys and all the baby's birthday is a few weeks before Christmas so will see what I still need to get but I really just love going to go

Well I guess that all for today I'll try to get more post!
Have a great day!

9yrs ago this week....

9yrs ago this week I was trying to get my principal to allow me to take my maternity leave from school since I was already a week late and I knew Holley would be here any day!! So yes you read that right I was in the 11th grade as a student trying to convince my principal to let me stay home so I could have my baby girl who I love so much already and I knew I wanted to be her mom and nothing more!

As the week went by they finally told me I could take my leave since I was having contractions. I stayed home while my wonderful husband went to work at night and went to class during the day. I had my last dr Appt on weds the 22nd and she said if Holley didnt show by the 24th then we would be inducing in the 25th(MAJOR FREAK OUT) I was ready but so scared:-/

I had my bags packed and had the hubby call into to work and we let the school know he wasn't coming in to class. That Friday we woke up at 4:30am an headed to the hospital for our induction and the arrival of our baby girl!

They started me on the med for contractions and then well honestly it a little fussy I know there was pain lots of pain and my epi wasn't working I ripped and had to be sewn up with out pain medicine :( but It was all so very worth it
Holley was born at 8lbs 10oz & 21 1/2 inches long!

She made me a mom a friend a person I didn't know I could be.. Now 9yrs later I think about all the fun and heart ache we've been through as a family and I am so blessed to call her my daughter,friend& and most of all the love of my life!!!
Baby girl I love you so much I'm so glad god has blessed me to with allowing me to be you mom!
Thank you for being you for making me grow up and learn you are all I never knew I wanted!

Mommy loves you
Holley!!!

5 more days!!!

5 more days until school starts!!! (doing the happy dance!!!!)

It's strange for me to be excited for school I. Usually on the verge of tears when someone talk school but this year I'm happy the kids love their school so much and are very happy to see their "old friends" it make my heart happy to know they are happy!!
Were just about done school shopping I just need a few more things like lunch boxes actually lunch bags and I need to find some reusable sandwhich bags and snack bags but that can wait a little bit. They have decided they want me to pack their lunch every day which will get boring so I'm looking for some new lunch ideas!
We meet the new teachers tomorrow night and they get to take their back packs and school supplies tomorrow too!!

Eliana has gotten so big!!! Shes about 25lbs already and stress clapping when she does something cool! She very funny but will miss her bubba and sissy when school starts! :( but will jsuy have to wait and see!

well I need to make lunch so...

Have a great day!

What's for dinner??

Tonight were having chili cheese dogs and doritos!! Nope not very healthy but oh so yummy and quick. When it's 110 degrees outside in the shade I don't want to heat the house up any more then I have too!!!
The kids and I spent most of our day inside ut finally ventured out around 5:30 to the pool it was nice not to sweat for a few hrs! But my poor hubby has to endure this heat he's been going in early just to try to beat the heat but it's still very HOT whit no end in sight at least not until at least november!?!?!?

Today Eliana is 8mos old today and she has started to pull her self up onto whatever she thinks will hold her now that doesn't always work and she has the bruises to prove it! But she has also started cruise (walk along the object she holding onto) which she LOVES which she shows by squiling as loud as possible!!

Hubby and I are starting to be "grown ups" by starting a budget and sticking to it!!!
So as of today no more eating out for any if us I will be making his lunch everyday!
So were are going to go from eating out 5-7times a week to 0!!! Also I'm making myself stick to a grocery budget which I've never done before so with feeding 6 and buying diapers and formula is gonna be quite a job for me but I will do it and stick to it!
I really think the grocery budget will be the worst part of this process!
So wish us luck our newest journey!

The kids start school in 21 daysand they are kinda getting exciting which is fun or me and them. We went clothes shoppinglast week and got some good deals at khols and JcPennys which is always fun!!

Well that's all for tonight!!!
Goodnight

I fail as a blogger!!!

So yeah I fail as a blogger but here we go
Eliana is now 7mos old and she started crawling on Friday night!!
We also took herto the beach for the 1st time on sat and well let's just say she couldn't get enough....of the sand! She was trying to eat it by the handfuls!! Oh my I tried so hard to get her not to eat it but I'm sure she got some sand in her belly!

Holley and Sebastian loved the beach as they have since they were E's age!
But we also got to spend some time with my mil's kidney sister and her family which is always great!

Dh got back last week for cleveland Ohio he was there for work and got a day off so he got to go to niagara falls for the day which I totally hate him for(not really but still alittle upset I didnt go ): )

Well the count down for Back to School has began 5weeks and counting!
But now the school shopping and crowds have began to flock to the stores which is awful time of year!
Holley will be starting the 3rd grade and sebastain will be going to the 1st gread I have promised them I won't cry while I drop them off but I cant promise I won't be crying on the way out of the room!!

Well that's all for today who knows maybe I'll be back tomorrow!
Have a great day!
~Love~
