Latest addition.. Dune (of Jaz & Clare)

Where have all the cowboys gone?

Seems the topic these days for alot of us single women is.... Where have all the men gone?
Truth be told... The ones worth having & needing are the ones taken already...( No offence to all you single none married men out there). But there is just a great lacking out there for us these days..
Why is that? There seems to be for every 10 females only 3 males.. I know I started having kids later in life, thus my boys won't do for some time. But what are those single females out there supposed to do...

"WHERE HAVE A THE COWBOYS GONE???"

Their either married with kids, taken but not forgotten, or not in the fam any more.... Am I forgetting a spot?
I know I may just be putting out my death warrent here.. But I've just heard it said so many times before I felt like blogging about it to see just how many others out there feel the same.. ( forgive me gentlemen I mean no offence)
All I can say is that... all you married ladies out there are some lucky!!!! :D

Sick

I just got back from the SGA meeting. Was doing great and all. Then just yesterday I woke with this bad scratchy throught. I think it's going around though.
I do so hate colds though, especially when they are in the dry scratchy stage. Hurts like a mofo. But at least I'm not extreamly sick with fever and all, like some.
We had Terry visit us here for a couple weeks.. He's alot of fun and a great guy. But alas he's leaving on a jet plane as we speak. So there goes some excitment. It always makes life so much more fun when you have people visiting and all. It's a brake from the norm. Anyway!
Life is good! My son prayed for me,so ya! I'm on the road to recovery. LW!

Photography

My work of art.. Tell me what you think!

Sleep!!!!

I don't know about anyone else.. But I just can't seem to catch up on the lost sleep I missed at the SGA seminar.. I'm not complaining at all. I just wonder how long it will take me to get back in time with things.

I think I'm coming down with a little something in my throut, not a good thing... I can't get sick now.. there's just to much going on, and my little one to take care of.... getting sick would not be a good thing. It's probably also from the lack of sleep. Pray for me!

Back Again!

Yes! Were back home again.
All good things must come to an end. But I have to say I had a magnificant time, enjoyed all the classes we had, and the music and inspiration, fellowship, and made new friends too. It was so great. Though Kaden kept me busy with him pretty much the whole time I did enjoy myself greatly.
A big thanks to all those that made it possible for us to attend, and that hosted the meeting.. Love you all so much! It's so wonderful having such a family.
Plus the veiw and place was just so heavenly as well. Peaceful and all. You couldn't have asked for anything better.
Just a few scenic pics I took.

Its finally here!!!

Well tomorrow is the big day... Just wanted to let you all know I'll be gone for a week, though I know I won't be missed. I just thought to mention it..
Tomorrow Ricky, Rosie, the babes and I will be leaving on a Jet plane to our first ever SGA seminar.. I'm so excited I just can't hide it.. It's going to be the bomb!
Anyway! Take care all home kewl people out there. Love and miss you all. Keep us in your prayers.. Will be back Friday. and I'll post you the pics of the place, as its just magnificant.
Peace!

Baby Shower Day!

OK! Well today we celabrated the soon to be arrivel of Clare & Jaz, and Julie's to be... baby boys.. So the area homes were there with warm wishes,worthy gift, and happy expectance. It was so much fun!
The guys played football, the mom's ran around with there kids, while the older parents and all those other able bodies sat around and played games, ate snacks, and had a merry time. It's been so long since everyone came together like that in this area, that it was such a joyious time for all. Here's to prove it!


Clare totally thrilled with what she got!!!
The guys in soccor mode...
Julie content and happy

Grapes of Thankfulness

Wow! Well I realised that my last posting sounded a little depressing and down.. It wasn't meant to be so.

Anyway! I just wanted to put a few comments up of different things I thought about. And people I thought of as well. Its my way of saying thanks to all those that have been such an awsome part of my life, through the good and bad. The hard times and the pleasent. I can't be more thankful for what a wonderful family we have. With such wonderful friends and co-workers. Thank you everyone.. and if I happen to not mention everyones name, know your not forgotten.

PS: I've not finished yet.. there is more to come.. Just thought to start with the ones whom have always been there for me..

...it keeps going!

Life is rollin', people changin', things happenin', questions askin'. And still so much to do, and so little done. None the less, life goes on..

Today was a typical Saturaday event. Kids to watch and feed, laundry to fold and put away. Kaden to walk and shower, and the never ending chores in the house to be done. Not that it's hard work in comparison to those that go out fundraising day in and out.

Tomorrow will be having our clean-up day.. Getting ready for our Activated meeting. Then will see what evening activities prevail.

...Time is of utter importance to me these days as its rare and far between. When I am not with Kaden and caring for him, its word time, cleaning the room, laundry, or different odd things that may have to be done.. I was going to Theropy, thought I was done that.. but there will be more theropy again.. And more after that. So time is always a factor. Do what you can while you can, cause you never know when you will get a chance to again.

I love my kids, it seems that we learn new and important things with them each day.. Like with Ethan, I'm learning real patients with him, and he's learning to be faithful in the little things.. Are all Leo's that lazy? Mine is! He wants everything to be done for him, though he tries at times to do what he can.. Alot of the time I feel as though I'm being a nag, and I hate that.

Then there is Kaden, and getting him to sleep through the night.. He does well enough by going to bed around 11:00pm, but then he gets this sudden spurt of energy (and spit ups) and wakes up at 1:00 and stays up till 3:00 in the morning at least.. Last night I got Uptight with him, and then he got all sensitive and mad with me. And boy did he show he was mad!!.. So then there was comforting to be done, with mommy telling him that she loved him no matter what.. After a while he finally went to sleep. And then people wonder why I can't be up on time in the morning! Well there you have it!!

In Memory of...

THE CROC HUNTER...




I know everyone is doing this.. But I just wanted to say he was a great guy.. Did something that made a difference to us all.. My kiddo loved him as well.. He'll be missed!
And to his family... though we can never miss him as much as you will, he will be missed.. Your in our thoughts and prayers.

The Phantoms wake

These pictures are just fabulous.












Here's the man of the hour...Marie I'm putting him up especially for you.






I think this chick is so hot.. and look at those Hoo hoo's!!!

Don't you just love this movie? It's my second favourite to Moulin Rouge.

My Dear Friend

As I mentioned.. Marie came over to see me for a couple of days.. saddly she departed from me today.. I'm going

to miss her much!! Sniff!!!
But last night we had a parting ceramony and celebration.. Which was alot of fun, had some drinks, talked of old times, snacks, and then watched a very favorite movie of mine.. Phantom of the Opera.. It was great!
So here's to Marie, and the wonderful friend and women that she is.. I have the strangest feeling I may never be seeing you again.. I'm going to miss you Luv.. Have a good life!!!

Our cheep Pink Champain




Of which we all partook of...
and wanted to partake in...
Then there was more Champain & snacks which I enjoyed...


And which marie Enjoyed as well.. In the wrong place for a bit.. hehe!!

Catching U up!!!

Been so busy these days, always am when it comes to having a little one around.. You don't realise how much time you used to have to yourself till you don't have it no more.
Then there's therapy every other day. Monday was nice, had basically everyone over to see us after so long. Marie's been here for three days.. Its been a blast! Chris, Nicole and Claire came over as well and Danny girl earlier on... We watched this lame "love" film.. More like greed and lust film, but it was kewl cause we where all just chilling together and talking the whole time and that was just awsome...Dissing people in the world and the way they believe love is supposed to be.
Oh ya! Not to mention all three of Chris's gf's in the same house at the same time he was...Thankfully were all really good friends, but I did find the situation amusing.
All in all, it was a nice day. I then also went out in the evening with Raff and Charity, and had a margerita. The best way to relax after a long day! :)

This and that...

Rosie,myself & our little ones






See our multi personalities?










My friends..our babies




Blogging is not an easy thing for me.. At times I feel I have all the time in the world to do such things.. But when it really comes down to doing it. There is by far way more to do then this. Not that I don't like posting things every now and then. Its a nice way of seeing ppl's comments. And sharing things with others. Keeping up is just the hardest for me. I bet everyone that knows me must see this blog and say what a boring person I am.. Sigh!!!
I thought to post these pics I'd taken recently. Pictures to me are what make blogging worth while.

Sunshine faces

Were so happy to be brothers for life!





sleepy...silly




My happy times









"mom's making me make weird faces!"








We did some photo shots.. Just my two little ones together. They were so cute. Don't have much else, and haven't posted in some time so I thought these would be a cute brake. Just until I can get some other pics that I'm waiting on.. Here's my precious ones!

Operation Complete!

It was so swollen












Ugly! Shiver, shiver!!







Okay! Well I finally had my Operation PTL! First ever! But everything went really well. It was only an hour surgery. But when I came out I was completely gone, exosted, bushed. You name it.. I just couldn't for the life of me seem to wake up.. So I just slept most the day.. The nurses tried to get me up twice to walk with my crutches. But when I got up the first time I almost passed out on them.. The second time, I was so woozy that I just went right back to bed. Then around 5:30 and after a few crackers and drinks I started coming to.
All my nurses and my Doctor as well were real sweet and having a good time. There was one Hot Doc there to.. Man! Was he fine.. and sweet! But then I was put to sleep and lost track of him. Sniff!
It made me wonder what people do when they are put Under". For one your complety naked ( all but a small gown that only does so much to cover you) and then, well your the only one in there aside from the nurses and Docs.. Hmmmm...It makes me wonder?Ha!

Anyway So here are some pics of my knee after sugery and after taking the wrap off.. They made four holes in my knee, stuck some sorta scrappers down in there all the way to the bone and cleaned out all the old and aged legaments etc. Yuck!
