HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARISA!

Today is Carisas 23rd birthday! What an awesome daughter I have. Gorgeous, smart, funny, happy, nice, caring. What a breeze she was to raise. Happy birthday!

What I'm Grateful For Today...

HCG: if you don't know what this is, find out. It's the most awesome thing that has ever been discovered. Now, if only I had more willpower.

Sprite Zero, strawberries, and grilled chicken: to make it easier for me to be on this diet.

This kid...

who has suddenly cared about having things clean and who makes sure the house is clean when I come home from work. She also tries to keep her brother from making any messes while I am gone. Wow! What a good kid

This machine...

to cover up my freckles and make it look like I'm tan without getting skin cancer.


My job: even though I complain about it and hate going, I'm grateful to at least have a job that is flexible, that lets me only work 3 days a week (1 to 2 in the summer), so that I can devote more time to my real job (my kids).

This game...

I'm addicted, and so are all my kids.

Tysons friend Conner...

The random things that come out of this kids mouth are hilarious! I never let my kids yell out the windows of the car when I'm driving but this kid LOVES to do it and the only reason I let him is because of the funny things he says to people. Just some of what he has said:
To someone walking down the road "I love your scooter!"
To someone else walking down the road "I want your cheese grater!"
To some construction workers on the roof of a house "Be careful!"
To someone at a skate park "I love your skateboard (the other kids flips him off) then Conner yells "I love you!"
While driving past the kids school "Theres that piece of crap we call school"

And last but certainly not least...

Probably the reason why I am grateful for all of the above!

 

Ruffles is going to miss him

 

Tyson is off to camp

 

This was totally Breannes idea and I'm not lying. Geez, why would you think I would dress up my grandbaby like this, put him in all sorts of poses, and make him scream his head off. Yep, you can blame Breanne.

It took me 6 months to make, and it's not perfect (some of the pictures are blurry for some reason and the first song doesn't cut off very well) but here it is.

Just sent Breanne off to girls camp. Was glad that she was happy and excited to go, even after camping all weekend. She will be happy to get back to her bed though, after sleeping in a tent for a week. Glad it's not me!
