My Prize!

So if you read any comments from my counter project post, there was a very motivating one for me. Ms. Ellen said she would send me a prize if I got it clean. Yippee I got my prize in the mail and look what I got......

Wow Look What I Got...

As you can see I got a whole lotta stuff. Thanks to my MIL for the X-Mas money and Stampin' Up for Sell-A-Bration. I got my markers finally, and yes, I finally got my Riveting set, YAY.

Progress

I have made progress but am still working to get the entire counter cleared...

My Latest Project...

...but obviously not finished. Why do I let it get this far? I really don't know. I think that I am horizontal surface challenged. I will do anything else in the house to avoid looking at or even attempting to tackle this counter, to include toilets and I don't do toilets. I save those for my husband.

And oh by the way... Bailey has finally lost those two front teeth that had gone so astray and were looking like real beaver teeth. For those of you who did not see them, the new teeth were coming in and had released the old ones from behind and were pushing them out towards the front, a real site to see, sorry I did't get a picture. She lost them one month too late. I so wanted her to be able to sing "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two front Teeth". Oh well maybe with the next one. Anyway now there is a gap in front so big she can fit her entire tongue through.

Alright, Alright, Alright

Isn't that a song? Anywho here I am. No I have not fallen off the face of the Earth, nor have I merely disappeared. I just had a very busy December and have been busy on the computer with other things. Tom returned home for a short time in December and while he was here we went to Winnepeg and enjoyed the Children's Museum with the kiddos. Bailey had her winter recital for Dance. Then driving two vehicles, because Tom was headed to Alabama on the 2nd of January for another 7 weeks, we headed to Wisconsin for the Holiday Season. After many Christmas celebrations, a wonderful New Years night out with old friends, and other occurences we are happy to be home and safe. My sister-in-law was rear-ended before Christmas (a minor fender-bender). My Dad was also rear-ended on the Interstate Christmas Eve morning as he was venturing out to do some last minute shopping. His truck was totaled but he is OK. Tom sliced the top of his finger open. My StepMom burned her hand. Then my nephew's friend's parents were killed in a car accident. So like I said before we are happy to be home and safe. Here are some pics of our adventures. Enjoy and Happy 2007

New Template

OK, so since everyone else changed their templates I decided to follow suit and change mine...hehehe

What Do You Get When You Cross 7 Girls 7 And Under, A Pink Boa, and Popcorn...

Sisters

They both have the same fake smile on...

Ouch:(

Looky Looky Looky it's only November 4th and I am already updating, does this mean I can take the rest of the month off. I just had to put htis picture on cuz I thought it was funny. Kamdyn woke up with a perfectly beautiful face...we spent about 30 minutes with a friend and by the end she was marked up all over and had a fat lip...poor baby.

October

As I sat down at the computer today to look at many meaningless things and waste more time that I complain I have not enough of I realized it is October 31st. In case you haven't noticed a pattern I have only managed to BLOG once a month. With it being the 31st I figured I better get an entry in here so as not to break the monthly pattern. So October started off with us taking our Bi-annual (I think that's what you call every other year) trip to Florida. It was wonderful to spend so much time not having to think about anything, especially those horizontal surfaces that stare at me all day at home. The trip was also a chance for the kids and I to spend some more time with Tom before he was to take off on another trip overseas once we returned home. He will only be there a short time this round but will be heading to Alabama in January for a class he needs to attend. Since he's been gone the girls and I have been busy with Fall and Halloween activities and many Pampered Chef parties :) amongst other things. So here are a few pictures of our October. Kamdyn really didn't enjoy the ocean when we went the first time, I think it was a bit noisy and intimidating but then we went to the Gulf side and she seemed better. Oh and we woke up one morning to a gazillion hot air balloons taking off over Disney and we could see them off the patio of our place, the girls really liked that. I don't have any pictures of Disney cuz we've been there done that and it was just Tom and I and Bailey that went this year. We did go to Busch Gardens this year for the first time since we were both kids so I did take some pictures of that. It seems Kamdyn is gonna enjoy rides a lot more than Bailey does.
