The Claw Machine

We stopped at a rest stop on our way to Utah and Jeremy was goofing off with the claw machine. Apparently someone left money in it cuz he won this and gave it to his cousin Emma.

Samanthas Hair

This summer we took the kids for a haircut. Samantha was insistent that she didn't want to get it even trimmed. Then when we got there we looked at style books and she decided to cut it. We donated 10 inches to locks of love and she loves her hair now. :)

New Kitty

This is our new kitty we got in July. This was his first night in his new home. He has grown a ton and is not scared or shy anymore. He annoys Sophie our female 8 year old cat to death. She hisses at him constantly. We were waiting for Samantha to come home so we could name him and just started calling him Kitty Kitty and it got shortened to Kiki and so far that's his name. Poor guy.

High School Musical on ice

When my parents were here my mom and I had the opportunity to take the kids to see HSM on ice. The skating was nothing remakable but the kids had a blast!! And they wanted cotton candy so of course you get robbed buying stuff like that. We had to pay 10 bucks because it came with this beautiful silver glitter hat. Jeremy loved it!! It was his most prized posession and here is a picture of him wearing it:

Cleaning for the parents arrival

Before my parents arrived we did a lot of overdue "spring cleaning" and organizing. Here's a couple of funny pictures from our adventures in cleaning:



Jeremy put on all the fun things we found and this is what he came up with. lol




This is what we found in my daughters trundle. lol I am so organized I have no idea where she would have got that from. rofl!!!

birthday cake

Samantha's birthday "cake". I thought he turned out so cute!!

Okay Okay

I know I have not blogged in like......forever. I am sorry. Life got the better of me. The holidays, then my parents coming to visit. I just got out of the habit. I am sorry. :( I will try to keep up. Samantha's birthday is on the 25th. I made her a cake while my parents were here because we celebrated with them. I will make another post to include pictures of the cake. I was actually cupcakes. She loved it. We had a nice visit with my parents. It was a little chaotic and stressful because we looked at a lot of houses as they are thinking of moving here. We also saw a few we loved for us too. lol My mom has been getting headaches for no unknown reason and we have been worried. She had an mri last week and it showed that everything is fine. Whew what a relief. She has an appointment this week with a neurologist to see what they can do about it. So that is my life in a nutshell right now.
