Once again, the slackety-slacker LOL.

Oh well, so maybe I should resign myself to like....once a month blogging? LOL. I try to keep up and have the best intentions, but life just keeps going!

Everyone is doing well, it's nearly Christmas and we are done shopping and happy about that for sure! The kids gifts are wrapped and ready to go. We downsized tremendously realizing over the years that if we get them a ton, and everyone else gets them a ton, they have lots of tons of crap and nowhere to put it. So, we got them about 4-5 gifts each, and each a new bicycle.

Everything is going ok for all of us, been kind of a busy time thats for sure. If you have myspace, check out all the pics there, I am always adding some.

Just turned 30 over the weekend, don't really feel any different, but I've officially left the 20's and that's kind of weird. I had a really great birthday though and spent some much needed time alone wtih Chuck. My parent were kind enough to take the kids and dogs for the weekend leaving us in peace and without ties that made us report home for duty throughout the day LOL. It was wonderful! Chuck got me a little point and shoot kodak camera so I don't have to lug my beasty camera everywhere (like to Disney, or little parties/outings). I love it! My parents got me a coffee maker, and my MIL got me a nail care kit and gave me $25 :) Very nice!

Guess that's about all I have to say for now...oh the kids FINALLY seem to be doing better! They got a vaccination a week or so ago and also the flu mist. They were awesome sports about, no tears I'm happy to report. Last record shows her weighing 37 lbs and he is 42.5lbs. I believe she's 40" tall? He's probably 44 if I had to guess.

Well, to alll, have a very merry christmas and if I don't report back b4 then, a happy new year!

Oh...here are a few pics from Disney Hollywood Studios (12/14/08)

Busy buys weekend

Thanksgiving was SOOOO good!! The food was excellent and we were blessed with the company of my Pawpaw, his wife, Aunt Debbie, Aunt Darlene, and Andrew and Jackie. Plus my parents and our little family of 4. We had way too much food and TONS left over, but it was all fantastic :)

Friday night Raegan had Nutcracker dress rehearsal. I've yet to load the photos from her show, but it all went quite well. There were 2 showings on Saturday (2pm and 7pm). At the 2 o'clock show there were some 'technical' troubles and wouldn't you know that when the curtain dropped, my child was stuck on the wrong side staring the audience in the face trying to figure out how to get backstage with the rest of the little mice. Apparently a stage-mom helped her out though. It was totally hilarious! The 7 show went much better all the way around...no technical difficulties and all the children landed in the right place LOL. Raegan got a bouquet of pink roses from daddy, a pretty orchid corsage from Aunt Bit (darlene) and a Christmas tree plant from Gramma and Poppa. She was totally excited :) Kind of weird to see my baby in make-up though!

Chuck's mom(Pat) and her boyfriend (Frank) came all the way from Chicago to see Miss Raegan in her ballet debut! We thought that was nice, and actually added to the excitement for missy. How nice!

Sunday we drove down to Key Largo (with Pat and Frank) to go on a boat ride only to find out it was cancelled after we arrived. So we just went ahead and drove down to Key West :) It was nice, Chuck got soaked by rain going to get the van. We had a nice time though and it was a neat place to have seen in our time here in FL (can cross that off the list).

Monday I took off work and we all went up to Epcot for the day. It was lovely, nice and cool outside and overall a nice day. The decorations were pretty and the kids were really good.

Tuesday evening we had everyone over (MIL leaves Friday) for Chuck's famous Moroccan Chicken dinner. It was excellent and nice to spend time with everyone....today nothing special...had some Greek food for lunch (Pat, Frank, Chuck, and I), and tonight we'll probably just grab pizza because we're planning to put the tree up tonight!! Yay!

That's about it! Next post should have lots of pics....
