RED
















Will Hankster is OFF to China and brought home his rental for to get to the AIRPORT and Nicholas was in HEAVEN!!!! In 2 short years he will be 16 and he is already making us NUTS on cars. He "thinks" we should let or get him a old mustang NOW so when he is 16 he will have it. This was not a OLD one but it was still a MUSTANG!!!
And staying with the RED theme....Hank FINALLY put Tylers scooter together that he got for Christmas. He is having pretty much FUN riding it and Nicholas is pretty much PISSED that Tyler has one as he always wanted one and I said NO;-)
My responce to him was "Either I LOVE Tyler more then you so that is why he got one or I LOVE you more then him and never wanted anything to happen to you". He is STILL trying to figure it out!!!!

(Nicholas got a X Box for Christmas so Tyler needed a big gift too so this is why he got one:)

Say a Prayer For My Mom!!


Say a prayer for my mom as she is getting a "port" put in Thursday and she is suppose to start Chemo June 7th. We found out almost 2 weeks ago that she has Pancreaus cancer that spread to her liver. She was in ICU for 8 days and now is in IMU which is a step down unit from ICU. She is going to need a lot of prayers to get through everything. She is a amazing mom and we all love her.

BeWare!!!

Most of you have read the scare-mail about the person whose kidneys were stolen while he was passed out. Well, read on. While the kidney story was an urban legend, this one is not. It's happening every day...........
My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. It was just that quick. I went to sleep in my body and woke up with someone else's thighs. The new ones had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Who would have done such a cruel thing to legs that had been mine for years?Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs.Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans and Sheer Energy pantyhose.
Then, just when my guard was down, the thieves struck again.My butt was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took pains to match my new rear end to the thighs they stuck me with earlier. I couldn't believe that my new butt was attached at least three inches lower than my original. Now, my rear complemented my legs, lump for lump. Frantic, I prayed that long skirts would stay in fashion.
It was two years ago when I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I was fixing my hair and I watched horrified but fascinated as the flesh of my upper arms swung to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush.
This was really getting scary. My body was being replaced one section at a time. How clever and fiendish.Age? Age had nothing to do with it. Age is supposed to creep up, unnoticed, something like maturity. NO, I was being attacked repeatedly and without warning. In despair, I gave up my T-shirts.
What could they do to me next? My poor neck suddenly disappeared faster than theThanksgiving turkey it now resembled.
That's why I decided to tell my story. I can't take on the medical profession by myself. Women of the world wake up and smell the coffee. That really isn't plastic that those surgeons are using. You KNOW where they are getting those replacement parts, don't you? The next time you suspect someone has had a face "lifted", look again. Was it lifted from you?This is not a hoax. This is happening to women in every town every night.
WARN YOUR FRIENDS!
P.S. I must say that last year I thought someone had stolen my breasts. I was lying in bed and they were gone! As I jumped out of bed, I was relieved to see that they had just been hiding in my armpits as I slept.Now I keep them hidden in my waistband

Happy Mother's Day

Today was my 13th Mothers Day and I can still remember my first. We lived in Phoenix and we had only had Nicholas for a few months and went to the zoo and all the moms got a carnation;-) It will go down as one of my most favorite days EVER as all I wanted was to me a mom. Now 13 years later I have 2 GREAT boys and we had another wonderful day.
This weekend was the Donner Early Bird meet so we (me and Nicholas) got up EARLY and went to the pool. (Hank and Ty showed up a little after 8). Nicholas did get the high point trophy for his age group, 13/14 year old. It was chilly this morning and the kids were freezing but we still had a lot of fun. Then we went to Greenwood to our FAVORITE chinese restrauant for lunch and then to the mall. Nicholas made out there as he need shirts for the summer so we went to Hollister and $135 later we left. What did I get from the mall........a $12 pair of Khaki short and some plug in refills from Bath and Body Works.
It was a VERY nice day and the kids and Hank got me a outside clock, a new mailbox and a GC for a pedicure. Any guess on what I am doing this week?

My Bird







A Bird (I think it is a Dove as I am NOT a Bird person) built a nest in the hanging basket on my front porch...How did I figure this out..I went to water the plant and the bird flew out and almost hit me in the head and I about *rapped!!! Here is my plant, the bird peeking out of my plant and the nest after the bird decided she did not want her picture taken again and flew at my head again.

What a DIFFERENCE 2 Days Make;-)
















This is what Friday Morning looked like.....we got up when Nicholas did for Swim at 430 and this it looked like at 6:59. And YES someone had already come to our 8 to 1 Garage Sale. Next shows what Saturdayafternoon looked like....$1297 not including change or the $10 the man who bought our couch still owes me (he is picking it up Monday). Can I tell you how THRILLED and shocked I am. I am a pretty lucky Garage Sale person BUT this is the best one I have ever had.
I took 1 load to Goodwill and I am home and TIRED!!!

I Am Soooo NOT Ready:(


Well, tomorrow and Saturday I am having a GARAGE SALE. I have NEVER not been as ready as am for this one. I have stuff piled ALL over except where it belongs. I do not have enough tables and nothing to hang things on. I am NOT in the mood to have one is the biggest problem.
I even called in HELP marking things tonight and I still have a stuff not marked. Hank has NEVER really helped with a sale as must of the time he was in China. He was not having fun.

A Beautiful Sunday

Today was sunny and probally 80. My pool water was 86 degrees, so after I vacumned, dusted, mopped and made dinner for tonight, I got my new raft, put my swimsuit on and floated in my pool ALONE. No Kids, No Noise, No Neighbors outside...Just me, chirping birds and 1 BIG plane that kept circling over me. Tyler finally came home after 1 1/2 hours and he came out and then I had to race (I lost), have treading water contest (I WON) and watch him dive and dive and dive;-)
All I can say is it was a WONDERFUL day at my house.

LOST

Lost -1 $50.00 plastic ortho mouthpiece
In Trouble- 1 13 year old boy with straight teeth and $50 less in HIS wallet;-)

Monday, April 16, 2007

They are OFF:-{}




Nicholas went to the Ortho today and they ask what color bands he wanted and he told them and she said "well you are not getting that color as we are taking them OFF"!!!! Can I tell you how DAMN happy I am that they are off. I know he did not take as long as some kids but I was getting tired of pulling him out of school every month for the ortho.
I think his teeth look WONDERFUL!!! I would recommend anyone to there office as I think they did a great job. Nicholas front teeth were straight but the back were coming in at a angle and we did notice that his front were moving. I have promiced him chewy crap for 2 years so I guess tomorrow I will be going to Target for Laffy Taffy, Licorice, StarBurst ect...

Well, it is hard to believe it is 4 months today since my surgery. In some ways it seems a lot longer then that and in others it seems like I just had it. Sooooo as of today I am down.....86 pds!!! (20 pre-diet and 66 since surgery) and I am THRILLED!!!! I have defently slowed down in my losing and I really need to EXERCISE more. I did start losing hair this week and I hope that ends soon as I know I am eating a lot more protein (Plus I got a HC yesterday and I LOVED how she cut it last time and HATE how she cut it this time:( so it needs to GROW Fast:)

I Was Right Again






















Well I was right again.....First went Tyler...then went Nicholas and after dinner Tyler dropped his watch and the pool brush in the pool and was "trying" to get in and Hank pushed him in BUT Tyler grabbed Hanks shirt and never left go and guess who else went in:) You were right if you guessed the DAD!!!! Hank about DIED and I about DIED laughing.

I am SMILING;-)




Can I just tell you the HUGE smile I have on my face when I look out and see my POOL that they opened today...of course it is going to get COLDER this week but I can still look at it:)
Tyler will be soooo excited as he has been wanting to GO SWIMMING as it has been hot the last few weekends. The water temp is 59 degrees so we will be cranking up the heat pump. I do think one of the boys will be in this week just to be in....the mom has a few weeks to go:)
PLUS..don't you just LOVE my door back door mat. I can not wait to have our first pool party of the season.
