CHATTER CHATTER CHATTER!!!

Some lovely chatter!! I had a nice long post typed out and I lost it. Stinkers. Okay, this one probably won't be as long but I will minimize it. I saw Jen wrote about her weight goals, so I wanted to share mine. I am going to lose 30 to 40 lbs. Hopefull half if not most by August for our family reunion that I really want to go to. I am going to get involved in our church. I really want to get into the womens ministry and childrens ministry. Ed absolutely loves the nursery there. Because they keep him busy. They both walk in like they own the place. Plus getting involved will help me get to know some of the ladies and that will be nice because that will give me some ladies to talk with.
The ladies at my school we don't have a whole lot in common. They are clubbers and drinkers. Have 4 kids with different guys. It is sad so I am trying to be a light to them. Tony loves having Tim Rasmussen here they hang out all the time. But Nikki and I don't as much. We get along for our husbands I think. It is just awkward a lot of the time. We don't have a whole lot in common. But our kids get a long good together so that is nice.
Well, I have 3 months of school left YEA!!! I am going to do my best to finish my internship as fast as possible. The sooner I can get out and get a job the better. Tony is going to be Mister Mom this summer. He has the summer off. I am worried as to what my house is going to look like, but now he will know. Okay, better go make dinner. Just thought you all needed something to read.

I finally pierced Baileys ears!!

I finally got up the nerve to have Baileys ears done. I was tired of everyone calling her a boy even if she was dressed in all pink. Its because she doesn't have a whole lot of hair yet. But it is growing in slowly. I was visiting my mom and we were at the mall and I said lets go pierce her ears. Took her in they did one at time and she did better than I did. With the first ear she didn't even flinch. She just sat there talking and laughing with my mom. So, then we turned her head and did the other ear and she cried but for like two seconds and then she was back to herself. I will get a picture up when she lets me take one. She doesn't like the camera as much as her brother. Just thought I would share.

Not much to report, but I will find something.

Well, lets see, since we got back we have been going like crazy. We had two very sick kids and we couldn't take them to the doctor, thats another long story. But we took them up and had them prayed for and since then they have got so much better. They are not a hundred percent but they are a lot better.

Then I went right back to school and right into finals. So, last week was absolutely crazy. Then on top of finals I watched one of our friends kids who is spoiled rotten. The mom carries him everywhere so he thinks he has to be carried all the time. Then he doesn't cry he screams and I thought I was going to go insane those days. But I made it through and feel so much better after a relaxing weekend.

Okay off to get the kids to bed I will be back.

Well, the holidays are over!!

Well, things are almost back to normal. I am trying to catch up on laundry, but we all know how that goes when you go on a trip. We left with 4 suit cases and came home with 5. We were really proud of our kids on the plane though. They did really good for it being a 4 hour flight.

Christmas was good. I was really greatful that I got to see all my family and friends up in Washington. We had a really good time hanging out eating and talking. I felt like I couldn't button my pants from all the eating. We got to see Eric and Brittany a couple times well, I saw them a couple times, Tony saw them much more. But I was glad that I got to see you guys and hang out with you. Gabe is getting so big.

Well, this year, was different for me. But it was good. It reminded me about the true meaning of Christmas. I was reminded that gifts weren't what Christmas was all about. I loved being with my family and seeing my kids play with their aunties and uncles and cousins.

Well, I went back to school today, and man I tell you 5:30 came really early. I didn't want to get up but my $10 came in handy for the morning Starbucks. Okay, thats everything in a nutshell. I hope you are all good and had a great Holiday Season!!
