HAPPY EASTER!

Hope everyone has a great Easter. Today was sunny and bright and a great family day. My sisters are here and we basically hung out all day! We had a lovely barbeque and laughed a lot. Tomorrow is Easter and Evan is super excited to find eggs with his big brother . His other brothers are in AZ, and we will be joining them on Tuesday. Its hot there! I am excited! Tomorrow we will go to Church, then to Moms for more food! Easter is a time for New Life, and new beginnings and to be thankful for all that was given to us from the Creator.......God Bless All...

HOCKEY IS DONE!

The weekend was a bit crazy, with hockey ending and basketball as well. The twins won silver for basketball.. Now we have a few weeks before baseball starts up. I am looking forward to the AZ sun with the family. Its always a great time,and the shopping is great too!! I will be on the hunt for some Hopi or Jemez pottery, at the huge flea market they have there. Evan is looking forward to collecting rocks,,,and seeing a cactus.

I am not feeling very good today and i think I have loist 5 pounds in the last 36 hours.. Too bad it wont stay off. Just enough energy to get the kids breakfast and do some laundry... I am irritated with my keyboard too,as Evan spilled some juice on it and now the space bar sticks. So I will finish this post and get some rest.....

Saw -- JUNO ----the movie

I really liked this movie. I dont get to go to many movies, but I am glad I went to see this one. It is about a 16 year old who gets pregnant. Of course, that hit close to home , since I was a pregnant teen. I was 17, and I kept my son, who will be 21 next month. The movie brought back a flood of memories for me and I was pretty quiet throughout the movie, and shed a few tears. I forgot some of the emotions and stress I went through. Juno had a pretty good set of parents, and they supported her decisions. I too had the really great parents, who helped me succeed. I am sure if they had not been a part of raising Justin, that I would not be where I am today. Also my siblings were very supportive. It makes a real difference to have that love and support. I know that if this happens to my chidren what my role will be... to help out as much as I can..and not make them feel awful or scorned. People make mistakes, we just hope they learn from them. Being pregnant , at 17, wasnt the end of the world for me or my family, it just put a little kink in my plan for my future. That being said, I wouldnt change a thing. I am where I am now, because of the past , and thats is just perfect with me!!!

I AM 39!

Today I am 39.. Just a number right? Actually I feel great! I was just saying ,after church, last night, to the kids, how lucky I have been . I have a great life. super family, awesome friends. What else would I want? yes, I complain about the daily things life has , but that is normal, I hope. The big picture is that I am a blessed person. I thank God for that every day...... As I lay in bed last night, I thought what can I do to improve my life. The answer is to try and help others more, volunteer, be a mentor... So I will work on that this year. A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes out to MY TWIN SISTER DARLENE!!!!! Its always been very special to have a twin sister!!!!

Frustrated...

Its just one of those days... no matter how hard I work out and exercise... eat right.. i can never seem to stay below 135 for very long.. I am just getting sick of trying.... I know its not the end of the world... but geesh this really sucks.,After 22 years working out I should get a break!! ................................ On the brighter side i made a great Asian Noodle soup... and it actually was good LOL............ And its warm today..... and I ordered a new purse ..... LOL.. Tomorrow is another day... this is a pathetic post....

HAPPY 70th DAD!

A BIG HAPPY BITHDAY TO MY DAD! HE IS 70 TODAY AND HAS MORE ENERGY THAN MOST 40 YEAR OLDS! THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT DAD.... WE LOVE YOU........

Whew where did that week go?

Its been a long week so much has happened. Funny how some weeks go so slow and others fly by. We had a family scare, with one of my sisters, but she is recoverying at home. My mom had a small surgery and my son moved out of his place he shared with his girlfriend, so the week was busy. This past week has just made it clearer than it already was, that I have an awesome family! We come together when needed and our love for eachother is true and real. I am blessed to ba a part of this family. The family is the way it is because of my parents, they have been married nearly 49 years and are supportive and strong. They never turn their backs on us and help and love us always.

Thank you Mom and Dad!!

Today is so sunny and beautiful it can only make me feel that spring is on the way and with spring brings new life!!! This picture is from the fair in the summer, and with this warm day made me think of this hot fun day my boys and I had!
