Pencil Pals

Well the Holidays are over and I am still tired!! It was great and now we are working on getting Grandma home. She has been in the hospital here for a week with an infection in her leg. Its been getting better but still stressful that she is there. On another note, one of my blog friends had a great idea. I miss getting mail and she came up with pencil pals. So, I am going to do it to and if you want to get notes and cards from me and we can send things to each other, email me your address at tiggerfan79@gmail.com and lets get it started!!

Holiday Cards

The holiday season is fast approaching and I love to do Christmas Cards. Last year I went through Shutterfly and they looked fabulous!! I like things to be simple and easy, and shutterfly is very easy. I did mine in about 20 minutes, I had to find the right pictures and that what took the longest. As soon as I ordered them they were here in about a week, and for APO that was pretty quick!! They looked great and my family loved them. I choose something that is winterish so it can be displayed until the Spring and maybe this year I will do one for every season. You should go check them out. Its well worth it and if you don't believe me go here and check it out!

P.S.  I have done the photo books through them as well for gifts and people love it. Its more personal than what you can give from a store!

Barbie Cake!!

  

 

My first attempt at doing a Barbie cake!! It is for my neighbors little girl who is turning 4. What do you think? Should I do more? It was so much fun!!

A moment of silence for Butch.

Lets take a moment of silence for Summer's Dad Butch. He lost his fight of cancer on October 24th. Please pray for her and her family at this hard time.

A promotion and a sickness

Well it finally happened, after months of waiting and years of hoping, I finally became the next rank!! WOO HOO!! It felt good and really deserved. Now I am looking already to go to the board again in a few months and keep moving forward in my career!!

Now I am sick, my head hurts and my throat kills. My voice sounds like a guy!! I am trying to keep motivated at work and do my job, buts its hard!! I am so tired by dinner I go to bed. However, there is a light oat the end of the tunnel. I can't stay sick forever.

I want to give a shout out to my friend Kristie. She has an awesome blog, and wrote about me!! Check out her blog and follow, She is a very funny person and makes me laugh even when I am sick!!

A video

So the family and I went to a fest here in Graf. It was great, they had a mini obstacle course and let kids shoot a weapon ( shot blanks so no worries) The kids enjoyed it and I made a video of it, Enjoy!!

Oh My!!

Wow this summer has been bad for blogging!! I am so busy, I need to figure out a better way to organize my life!! Where to start?

The kids started school and yes I took pictures and not I do not have them downloaded yet, maybe this weekend but who knows. BAM is in 4th grade and so far likes it. TJ is in 2nd and we have a good teacher and we hope this year is better than last year and he progresses much better!! My youngest is finally in kindergarten and boy was he happy about going. We had met his teacher the week before and when we got to the line for his class he just said by and ran off. No hugs or kisses, no tears on his end, I may have shed a tear later!! :) Now when I go home at lunch its quiet and calm.

Well I am doing fine, just busy and trying to read many many books!! I just got mine from my book club and have already started it. I will review it (if I remember) whenI am done!!

Well thats it in our household, I will TRY to be better and post more often!!

~~on a sad but serious side note, one of my friends Dad has cancer and we are spreading the word for prayers and if you can send a dollar. He sounds like a great guy, well he raised Summer and she is awesome so that's worth sending prayers in my book! Please follow the link and follower her blog, she is a great person and he blog is great to follow. Help her Dad out because he deserves it and so does she!!
