Mallory

Mallory left for girls camp this morning, actually she spent the night at her friend Tara's so they could stay up making pizza, and stuff and leave early this morning. She is a great girl and growing up to be a beautiful woman, even though she is a typical 'girl' teenager, and thinks the world revolves around her, she does so much for me, helping with the little kids and cleaning the house. She gets awesome grades usually bringing home about a 3.7 (give or take a point) and now she is enrolled in online Chemistry, just to get ahead a little for the 'DR.' career she wants to go into. She is so fun, I love you Mallory and I am so proud of you, thanks for all you do MOM

Arizona Trip

I am so excited, at the end of July, I am taking my daughter to Las Vegas for EFY, and then going on to Arizona to see my sister for the week. with all the rest of the kids, its about a 16 hour drive at... where are we? $4.50 a gallon now. but thats ok I haven't been for over three years. So my kitchen and anything else have been put on hold for a while. Steph, for your info. I will leave here on the 25th go to vegas til Sunday (i want to take the kids to the M&M store and maybe the nascar place for Isaac on saturday) then head to Sierra Vista on sunday, We'll be there til Friday or Sat. I'm not sure yet. then stay the night again in vegas and drive home Sun. I cant wait I really do love road trips.

Where Does The Time Go

gosh, I feel like the summer is just flying right past me, we haven't even gone camping yet, of coarse with the gas prices its hard to go anywhere, I did finally get my garden put in, which was great of me. Its not as big as usual but I wanted to get something planted before it was too late. I swear it seems like the older I get, the faster time goes by, we can fly through a whole year now and not know where it went. I cant believe my baby is almost a year old already, I got one starting kindergarton this fall, my oldest is 18 and another one with just 2 years left of school. its crazy. you really have to cherish every moment. hopefully we can go camping this weekend, we do have a couple bigger trips planned in july though.

Teenagers GRRR...

I guess its true, that the reason god gave us teenagers is so that we would be able to let them go out on their own, if they stayed cute and sweet we would want to keep them forever, well mine is pretty much depleted of ANY cute and sweet, I assume its all teenagers, but 'help' me if I'm wrong, does she really think the world revolves around her, like it would all stop spinning if there was one less teen in it? Everything I own is automatically hers to share (if I ever find it to 'borrow' it back) or just plain HERS because she has allowed me to be in her presence. I'm weird, old, lazy, I never let her do anything, all her friends moms are nicer than me, I don't do anything right. I guess what comes around goes around, I remember not being so nice to my mom, and now I'm paying for it... all I can say is, watch out sis. cuz you'll get yours, her daughter is going to be even worse, and then... I'll just sit back and smile.

Logan is crawling

It is so cute... Logan started crawling the past couple days, and sits up by him self, he got his first tooth on easter morning and now has 2. he also can pull himself up in his crib so I had to pit it on the lowest level. He is getting so big

Isaac starts T-ball this week, this is his second year, he loves it, his first day is tues. where he will get his, uniform(tshirt) and hat and meet his coach. he had a blast last year, and was sad when he couldnt go oplay any more. he says the funniest things, it was my nephews birthday last month, and Taigan is 2 1/2 months older than Isaac, I saac was so upset that Taigans birthday was first, and didnt let up all day till I promised to ask heavemly father if he would make Isaac birthday the same time as Taigans next year.

p.s. Isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen . she's got her baby, her backpack, her dora hat and her church shoes, or as she would call them ,her princess shoes, she tells us all the time, "I'm a beautiful princess"

update... here are some pictures I just took of my finished cupboards, they look really good, I'm excited.

hey havent blogged for a while, nothing really going on except the basics. I'm at a stand still with my kitchen. I did get the doors put on but still need to put a coat of paint on the fronts. it looks really good, have to wait for more money to come in so i can start the floors, i need about $150. for backer board for the tile floors, but it will be great when its done ...... anyway its coming along nicely. it will be sooo nice when its done, this kitchen was all original from the early 60's i think, so in dire need of a makeover. i'll get more pictures up soon.

Remodling my kitchen (by myself)

I am remodling my kitchen, I got tiles for the floor but ran out of money for the backer board to tile, so i started on my cupboards, i for got to take pictures of the before but there are some of the process, took the doors off and started on the inside, then sanded down the doors and took them to my dads to help put the molding around them for face lift, and now, I still need to primer and paint the doors its been fun but long or should I say slow because of cash)the really dark wood is what it used to look like
