Spring Break is over

Today, Courtney went back to school and she was so excited to go too!! She told me this morning that her spring break was a little boring (thanks to me and my hurt shoulder). We were going to take them bowling but with my shoulder hurting like it was...there was no way I could bowl. So, we decided we will try and take them Wednesday afternoon. Hopefully by then, it will be better.

I'm still waiting for the pest control people to arrive (they are over an hour late). We have an issue with either flying ants or termites. Thankfully we are in the apartment so they have to take care of everything. I was told that in Spring that the termites swarm and mate and then die. Hopefully once they treat the sites, no more bugs!

I haven't scrapped in a while but while in Texas - I got a ton of scrapbooking supplies! I hope to use them soon. I forgot to teach Misti how to use the Colorbox Fluid chalk so I guess I will just have to teach her over the phone or via a tutorial on IM. Heck, I got Marti buying Primas and now just have to get her to start back scrapping. She has Josh's Europe trip to do and he took some awesome pictures! Can't wait to see those pages...hint, hint Marti ;-)!!

Wow - we really need rain here!! The top of my van is yellow instead of sage. I should take a picture. It is suppose to rain on Friday but that is no guarantee! Poor Courtney is sneezing up a storm. Which reminds me that I have to call the allergist to get her shots ready. This is really not good for her and her allegeries and asthma!

Some Pictures

Here is one of my favorite pictures from my trip to Texas. It's me and my nephews Josh and Hunter. They both were sad to have me leave Texas and I had to hold back all the tears. I just hated leaving them. I love them both very much and miss them too!!! The only one I didn't get a picture with was Tyler but he was busy camping with the Boy Scouts.







Here's the most recent picture of my sisters and me. Of course, I had to wear a St. Patty's Day themed shirt and luckily Misti already had one. But for Marti, Friday night we were at Target and she KNEW she had to buy something green to wear on Saturday or I would get her...LOL


Not the best picture but here's one of James and Marti playing Air Hockey - the newest addition to their game room. I tell ya, never play air hockey for more than 15 minutes per game. That is what theirs is set at. Boy, they last forever and it does a number to your arm muscles. Mine are finally not sore from playing so much. We all decided that there should be plexiglass around the sides of the table as the puck goes EVERYWHERE and can go a distance!! Good thing James put it next to the wall as sometimes when it hit there, the puck would bounce back into play. And just remember players...."Keep the puck on the table and wait until it stops shaking before trying to hit it"...LOL

First Entry

OK...I've been trying to stay away from blogging but I thought I would try and do it so I can keep family and friends updated with what is going on in our lives.

I just got back last Sunday from visiting both my sisters in Texas. I had such a blast and would love to live there but have to wait patiently to see if Jason will ever get an opportunity for a job there. It's a dream and hopefully one day...it'll be a reality! I haven't laughed so much in a while and that is all due to my brother-in-law James and my sisters!! This is all what happened while I was there....

Thursday - I arrived and we went to Recollections! OMGosh...I really enjoyed that store. We had to have Chicken Express for dinner - YUM!.

Friday - shopping at Grapevine Mills Mall. We stayed out forever according to my nephew Josh. We also got Marti to purchase a air hockey table for their game room.

Saturday - Scrapbook store shopping and Ulta. We spent a lot of time out plus they treated me to dinner at Steak 'N Ale. That was delicious and a good laugh too (thanks to James again!). Also, Misti made me a birthday cake - Funfetti and boy, yummy!!!!

Sunday - air hockey!! I played for almost 2 hours against Marti, Josh, Misti and James. I only lost to James and then the second game against Misti. My arm got really sore and hurt the plane ride home.

Jason and the kids made me dinner Sunday night - flank steak, salad, corn and baked potato. Another delicious meal.

Ok...I hope to add some pictures from my trip soon.
