Blog Header

Also, you can see I have been tweaking my blog codes - so many times you will see it all whaked out - It's a work in process . . . it's been fun editing it - but blogger is also sensitive! So humor me when you come to my page and it's SCARY!

Need Addresses

K EVERYONE! - as you can see - I changed my background and lost my blog roll - can you leave me your blog address - so I can re-add it to my page!!  Thanks a bunch!

Family Picture

I am the worst at taking a formal family picture - so finally we are getting a big family picture framed.  Probably the first ever.  I have several snapshots of family pics in little frames but never one that actually hung on the wall - I know, I don't know why!!

Latest Happenings!

A ton of things are always happening - I love the craziness of it all!  So I realized I need to catch up some of the day to day things!

We got to have "josh" come down from Utah for a hockey Tournament.  It was a ton of fun to have him here - my kids think he is a celebratiy.  He is so funny - we were able to catch a few games.  My oldest daughter hung out with the team - she getting to know all the hockey terms.  It was fun to see her call out things.  My boys enjoy the fights (mostly my big one - Doug).

Josh really knows how to ham it up !

This is what I get if I leave the room for a minute - Rowdy crawled up and got on my comp.  He really looked like he knew what he was doing.

These little glitter balls are the new craze.  I think it is funny, because I chose not to buy my boys these balls because I thought for sure they wouldn't want them because they were glitter/girly - But Doug got them for the boys and they take them to school - hmmmnnn just to show you you never know?

Rowdy really just tries to do everything that everyone else does.

My oh my - who is having more fun - the scout leader or the boys??  Hmmmnnn

18 years and still Married!

Doug and I will be celebrating our 18th anniversary!!  Some days it seems like we just were married and then it seems like so far away.

18 things I love about Doug!

1.  He is the biggest Goof - funny, he makes me laugh!

2.  He is a GREAT and I mean GREAT Dad!  I love him a ton just for this!!!!!!  He has always helped with parenting.

3.  I love how he gets along with everyone.  He is such even key - not much frazzles him - I love how he calms the boat (I rock it).

4.  He can quote any stat about any sport out there - but for some reason can not remember what I said 5 min. ago - believe it or not I do think this is funny.

5.  He has a great family!  I love the Gooches!

6.  When we wrestle he could easily over power me - but he lets me win every time.

7.  He doesn't get mad at me to often - and there are times he should (after a trip to Buckle or the Apple store)

8.  We both love baseball - and love to eat hot dogs watching a good game.

9.  He is the worst fix up guy - he really needs a handyman to help him epoxy anything!

10.  He is VERY organized and neat - I think it's a result of being first born - I, on the other hand am the baby and I'm really messy!  One time I had shoes all over the front entry way.  he lined them up, making them walk back to the closet - ha ha

11.  We both love the same music - from Cold Play, Simple Plan, Areo Smith all the way to Taylor Swift and Avril Levine.

12.  We both love to quad ride together, camp, ride bikes.

13.  He's has a great "green thumb".  Our flowers look good ALL year - and that's hard to do in AZ.

14.  We both love going to the movies together.

15.  He loves to be outdoors and doesn't mind that I love to be indoors.

16.  I love to watch him play ball - any ball - Football, Softball, B-ball, sometimes I'll see him laughing away out there.  (I am glad the the punk competitive days are over, ha ha - but good times with Lavender and the Gooch brothers!)

17.  He's a great coach for our boys for any sport their involved with.

18.  He the one guy I feel safe with - and I LOVE him for that!!!

Love ya Babe!

Spring Training

Love Spring Training - Doug and I will hopefully some day go down to Tampa and catch some games there.  But for now -- we hit a Cubs game last week.  Perfect weather, sat behind home plate with a bunch of die hard Cub fans - it was great!

My New favorite site!! I have been trying real hard to get back caught up with food storage.  We used to have it all a few years ago, but we have been using it (like we should).  But Doug and I really want to BEEF it up major - so check out this site - SOOOO FUN!!!!
