Can you all BUSY!!!!! Okay first I need to let you all know my stress.. okay since after christmas... I realize how soon New Years Day was... This being the day we celebrate christmas for Erin's Mothers side of the family... And the I have not finished the gift books.. :( SOOOO I procrastinated too long.. and not entirely my fault... Erin was supposed to buy photo paper and Ink... Can't Scrap without pictures... SOOO... I decided yesterday... that THEY ARE GIFTS>>>> I am not required by any law to give them for Christmas... And because I dont want them looking like I just threw them together I am going to do them the right way.. and make them look beautiful... Like my first intention... SOOOO I am going to get the ink and paper and do them asap.. but not rush... :) I would have loved to give them for Christmas.. but with 3 boys.. and My endometriosis coming back.. I dont have alot of time and i have been miserable... :( But I am going to do it.. nothing would make me happier than to see others happy by something I have done for them..

Moving on... Christmas.. Wow.. what a not so white one... LOL... The boys made out great! And Erin and I made out awesome!!!! It was a wonderful Christmas... :) I will have to put up some pictures. :) And as we drove around town looking at Christmas lights.. we see the manger scene.. and Curtis said Baby Jesus was born.. and I told him.. that is why we celebrate christmas... and Erin said.. its Jesus's Birthday... :) We celebrated then the birth of Jesus :)

Love you all so very much and hope you all had a wonderful holiday season... and Happy New Year!!!

Awhile!

Okay, i know it has been awhile... but... I guess I am getting the christmas jitters. We have no decorations up this year. Sadly, because we have a 7 foot tree, and are afriad the boys(curtis and Kyle) would wrestle around too much and break the ornaments and knock over the tree... It has ALWAYS been my tradition to put all decorations the day after Thanksgiving. :( I am saddened.. But i know this is for the best.. We will be buying presents this week and we decided that the nite of christmas eve we would take the kids out and get everything set up and presents and all.. and then bring them home.. It is also our tradition to open all presents on Christmas eve... Then everyone goes to bed.. and we wake up and SANTA CAME!!!!!! WOW!!!! :) Anyway... waiting this long to get decorations up and such is making me jittery.. I want to watch the beautiful tree light up at night.. turn the tv off and just watch as the lights sparkle like the beautiful star, the night Jesus was born. :)

Moving on... Last Week Erin had his offical first day of WORK for the PO.. Well, He rode along with the other guy so he knew where to go and such. He loved it!!! :) He can't wait to do more. He hides it but I think he is giddy inside..LOL :)

Clint... My 22 lb big BOY! He is rolling over front to back and vise versa. He now is scooting in the glorious 180 degrees. LoL He is so happy to be able to look at us from the floor.. He used to hate it! I would set him on his tummy and 2 min.. i would have to pick him for fear he would drown in his tears!! LOL

Kyle... I have never seen a boy so stubborn about being naked!!!! He dont want to wear clothes or a diaper! and when he gets that diaper off.. I dont know.. I swear he is going to rip it off!!!(yes, you know what I mean!) Otherwise he is getting tall!!! He is a whopping 26 lbs. :) he is the skinnyh minny of the family. Watch out he has an angry streak in him tho! He loves to open jars and put the lids back on... For christmas I think he wants activity boards.. things to look at and figure out how to work them.

Curtis... He is definately not the ruler of the house no more. He is the caretaker. He is definately the big brother! He is soo excited for christmas. For christmas.. Curtis wants whatever is on the commercials on TV. LOL He wants Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, Danny Phantom, Star Wars, Army stuff, Teen Titans, Leap Frog, V-Smile, Xbox games, and the list could go on for days.. I know he wants everything but I can't remember EVERYTHING!!! LOL

And me... Well not much new here.. been scrapbooking and working on some altering projects. My birthday was the last week in November and that was a great day... Erin bought me some stuff for scrapbooking, a new keyboard, and mouse pad... got the first season of desperate housewives, a gift cert to HOBBY LOBBY!!, and a sweatshirt! :) I did good!! :)

Well the Dog has been in the house for awhile now.. as per my request!.. He has only had 1 accident( first day), He has been great with the kids.. But we need to work on the People eat people food, Dogs eat dog food... He lacks in that area.. but with the help of 2 very giving children! LOL

Well If I dont get back here to update before Christmas... Have a Merry one!!! Love you all!!!

OKAY!!!

I started over.. My HTML code got all messed up and funky so I just started over.. Deleted and restarted.. :) Good thing I didn't have months and months of stuff on there.. I would have not done that.. but since I just started a short time ago.. I felt it was the right choice.. SOOO.. what do I have for you all today? Not much really.. Christmas is coming soon.. and I have started wrap the boyz's gifts.. :) I hate that part of christmas... If you really know me.. You know I can't save presents till the day of christmas.. I always have to give them right away.. so I think we have children.. to test our selves at christmas.. LOL No seriously...LOL HAHAHA

Anyway, We live on a farm if any of you dont know.. and instead of Propane or the such.. We have the electric base board heaters... (I think that is what Grandma and Grandpa had on thier farm... isn't it?) Anyway.. it is cheaper then getting fuel hauled out here. eve tho Erin would be hauling.. LOL But contrary to popular belief we dont get an employee discount for gas or fuel.. lol :) Anyway, the boyz heaters aren't working upstairs for some reason.. So we bought a little space heater.. And it is so cozy up there.. I want to sleep up there :) the rest of the house is warm too, but it's just so hot chocolate and marshmellow warm up there... :) LOL

Well... hope you all like the new layout and I still have to get my links and things up and running but... Here is the start of a new beginning :)

TTYL!!!
