Football
Brendan is a Freshman this year and playing football for Union. There was a football camp in Webster Groves for a few days. Hot as hell, but he had a good time "hitting" someone.
It's a shed
The guys from church came over on Saturday June 5th and helped put out the shed. It brought tears to my eyes.
Today is Aug 11 and nothing else has been done with it, which also brings tears to my eyes.
Fun in the sun
We went to Robbie and Kevin's home to do some fishing. They also have "real" dogs, so Austin played with them most of the time. Molly will let you throw the ball and fetch all day long. The boys took turns throwing it in the pond and she had a "ball"
Murals for school
Brendan my talented artist was asked to do some murals at school by his teachers. He does such great work and really enjoys it. Currently he has started doing logos for people. He did one for Brian Nieves radio show "The Patriot Enclave" and one for our Church, Leslie Baptist Church. One for the "Kupkake Kafe" ( a business DH wants to start, yea when pigs fly!) And he is doing one for Galati International. So if anyone out there needs a logo, he is the guy to call.
Weekend Crop
We had another GREAT weekend crop at the Hilton in Chesterfield, in April. I love getting away for the weekend with the girls and catching up on my scrapbooking. I havent done much since that and that sucks.
Bike riding in Washington
We went bike riding with some friends(Tonya, Albert,their dog Buddy, Andy,Tracy & kids(Anna and Joey). Our boys just love their dog Buddy, they say he is a real dog. After we went bike riding we stopped at Sonic to get some icecream. Buddy loves icecream
My silly boy
Austin won this ballon hat at school for having the best attitude. He is such a great kid.
Another wonderful day............not
Actually the title should probably just state "MEN" and that would say it all!!!!
What pains in the ass they can be!!!!!
So my wonderful husband, as a reminder I call him DH, has been working on Brian Nieves campaign day and night for about 6 months. No complaints about that part, cause it kept him out of the house and things were nice and peaceful for awhile.
Campaign over on Aug 3rd and Brian won the primary, yea Brian. So I am bumming alittle cause now what, he is going to be home all the time. Well that's ok, now he can get caught up on all the stuff he hasnt done around here, very LONG list by the way.
In the mean time the transmission goes out in the van he drives. We still have the little blue car sitting in the yard that hasnt run for a year. So he wants to get that running, to drive while waiting for the transmission. Well buddy that takes extra money we dont have right now. So the blue car sits. ( Some stranger stopped by the house about a month ago to offer to buy it....but NO cant sell it, going to get it running again....whatever) We decided even though we just paid off our credit cards we will use a card to pay for the transmission......come to find out, AFTER we drop it off, DH tells me they dont take CCs....GREAT news. Better go buy a lottery ticket buddy and HOPE you win!!!!!
So the election for Brian is over Aug 3rd, DH has worked his ASS off for his campaign. On August 6th DH starts feeling bad, really tired, everything is catching up with him.....Doesnt get started on that list yet. Monday still sick, stays home from work,GREAT. Tuesday stays home from work and I have to take to the DR, cause we only have 1 car. He gets a shot and some medicine for a Migraine. He is starting to feel better Tuesday night, thank you Jesus, now get your ass up and do something!
NOT!!!! Wednesday still staying home from work.........Ok buddy.....you used up all your days off earlier this year, so your not getting paid for these day, that's just great. And how we paying for this transmission, with your good looks, seriously doubt it.
If I have to look at him sitting in his recliner snoring one more time, I am going to jail for murder!!!!
Pray for me

WOW
Life can throw you some curves when you are not looking. I have not posted to this blog since the beginning of the year. Which totally sucks. I used to love this blog and the whole process of using it to share pictures and events going on in my life.
One of my regular viewers of this blog was my mom. I lost her suddenly in March. It's been hard dealing with that. I feel badly I didnt talk to her more often. Didnt share more on here to keep her updated on what was going on with our life and day to day activities. Even though she moved over 8 hrs away over 8 years ago. I still miss her everyday and it's hard to think that she is really gone.
Also this year the scrapbook company I was a vendor for closed it's "doors" . As much work as being a vendor was; packing products up, setting up, coming up with ideas for make n takes....I miss going to the events and the interaction with all the great ladies I met at the scrapbook crops. Needless to say getting away from the business end of it, has also taken me away from spending time scrapbooking and I REALLY miss that. I miss spending time with "my girls" Erin and Roxie and all my scrapbooking friends. Erin and I have done a couple of scrapbook retreats, which have been GREAT!!! A whole weekend away, in a nice hotel, with 55 hrs of scrapbooking. But it has only been a couple times a year and it's just not enough to bring me scrapping, crafting pleasure. I have a WHOLE beautiful room in my basement and havent spent anytime to speak of down there.
I have gotten away from my dieting and gain back all the weight I lost, so I am SO not happy with myself about that right now. I have become a FLUFFY girl...hate it!
Life in general has totally gotten off track somehow, some way and I am feeling totally out of sync.
So my hope is, my plan is to get back to life as I knew it.....get back to scrapbooking, crafting, card making, eating better, getting up off my lazy ass and exercising (wish me luck on that one).
Here's to getting on to living life as I would like to
