Tonight it became Official :)

TROOP 899

The Girl Scout Promise:
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to llive by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law:

I will do my best to be:

honest and fair,friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong and responsible for what I say and do, and to, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and, be a sister to every Girl ScoutTonight Emmy was inducted into the Girls scouts and she also earned a few patches for the things they have been doing she was so excited they had a little party and the parents were all invited.

The reason she has a lai on is because that is the crest the Juniors choose and until she is a junior she can not have the patch so instead the Brownies got ones to wear and the juniors recieved both. She will be a junior when she is in 4 th grade.

She is having so much fun in Brownies andI am super glad we decided to put her in them.

I am Back!!!!!!!!!!!

Well my trip was much needed and wonderful!!!!! I took way to many pics as usual and I would like to share them with you. oh and if yo are wondering. Steve was perfect with the boys Sat. was a little hard for him with the gir lscouts but he managed. So here is my trip hope I do not bore you with my pics.
Thursday!
The flight in to SEA/TAC Airport.
I saw a beautiful sunset, Mount Shasta and Mount St. Helen's.
Not to mention frozen lakes and beautiful clouds.
Isn't it PRETTY.


These are from all weekend but here are Lisa and Chusk's Beautiful children who are fun and full of energy. When I woke up on Friday morning I had a set a gorgeous eyes looking at me waiting to say good morning and Hello. It was cute Friday evening Lisa's little girl told me she had a new nick name for me and when I asked her what it was it was aunt Heather how cute is that.

Friday!
My trip to Seatle on the Feiry!
It was so freaking cold it was 32 degrees on a clear day.
We went to an out door mall and it was almost to cold to walk around. We ate lunch at the Cheese cake Factory. YUM YUM YUM! and they serve huge portions of everything. After we came home we drove around did some more site seeing and then went home did some crafts for the boy scout auction which those pics are coming up and then we decided to go to the Movies. We went to see Broke Back Mountain and talk about an intense movie wow! It was great though!!!
Here are some of the things we saw you see when I woke up friday everything was frozen solid adn white so it looked like snow but what snow that had fell the night I got there melted and then froze.
Saturday!
The Boy Scout Goody auction with all proceeds going to abused women shelters.
Lisa and I made the Candy boquet that you see down there. It was another one of her crafty Ideas that turnout awsome. But I wanted you guys to see these crazy cakes so here they are. Lisa's friend next door to her made the pool table cake and one of the leaders made the road kill cake, and I really like the flower pot one that is a cake in a flower pot with gummy worms and the one with the bugs was made of girl scout cookies(thin mint). Our Creation went for 15 dollars.The boys all had fun and it was a nice day.

My trip was great. Hated to leave but also could not wait to come back home to my kids and my honey. Thanks Lisa and Chuck for having me will see you again.I will post about Emmy's authors tea later or let her post about it on her blog after school. hope you all had a great weekend.

DARNIT I FORGOT IT WAS THURSDAY!

HAPPY

HALF NEKKID
THURSDAY!

EVERYBODY LOVES A NEKKID BABY RIGHT. I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY.


There are a couple of things I need to talk about.

First: The venting!

We are planning a Vacation in April to go to Idaho to Visit the honey's Fam and we are all very excited and I even got Emmy's father to agree to let her miss a weekend at his house. Now let me remind you that he has her every weekend but one and that one is mine so we planned our Vacation around our weekend but it goes into his a little.
He took her to Mexico this year on my weekend and I took her out of school for 10 days and did not complain one time.
So last night I recieved a phone call from Emmy's dad. He was asking me to stop going through the D.A. for our Child support so it would come off his credit. I thought about it and told him I thought it was safer and better for our already complicated situation for us to continues to go throught the D.A. That way if he gets mad he can not with hold child support.
Well guess what that set him off and now he is saying I can not take her on vacation because he refuses to help me out by giving up his weekend. ASSHOLE!
Mind you I also offerd to give up my weekend the following month to make up for his lose.
He is not saying no because of her he just wants to make me suffer. I think his wife will understand that it is court ordered that I get one week a year for vacation just like he does and I am sure that this will all pan out but it is still nerve racking. Did I already say he was an ASSHOLE!
Hey those are kind name compared to what I was called last night over the phone when I told him NO!
Well Now I need to call the Wife tonight and try and talk to her the bad thing is he probably already talked to her and told her that I started problems and filled her head with lies.
He's sick and will do what ever he can to get her to believe his side of the story.
You see all this happened while he was at work last night. I honestly do not think it would of happened if it was home she would of freaked if she heard him talking to me that way when I did nothing you see doing it when she is not around gives him the advantage of making up a whole different story to tell her.
We will now have to wait and see what happens.


Second: My weekend get away!

one week from today I will be on a plane flying to Washington to see my BFF Lisa.
I am leaving thrsday afternoon and coming home early sunday morning. I am so excited it as almost been a year since I have seen her. We have been friends since we were 5 and been through hell and back together, marrage, births deaths, happy times and hard times, and hopefully lots more of all those things.

I will post pics form my trip when I get back but it might take a day or two because when I come home I get to start separating cookies to delivcr. The Girl scout leaders are coming that saturday to use our really long driveway to do the cookies separating 30 case come here so it is best to do that here.
Taylor is coming that weekend to help Steve with the boys so I am not to worried plus I know that Steve is more than capable to handle the house, the twins, his daughter, Girls scout people, 30 cases of cookies and maybe even some laundry oh and did I mention breakfast lunch and dinner and the house work. :) O.K maybe I am a little worried but excited to get away non the less
I have never been on aplane alone and have to change planes on the way there. But I think I can do it with out freaking out. WIsh us all luck We all need it in more ways then one.

In training!

Well Steve is working with Emmy to teach her to ride a bike. She did really good this weekend and we are hoping that in a couple of weeks we can ditch the training wheels.

She has always been afraid of bikes for some reason but she is doing better. We have a huge church parking lot that is empty all weekend and in the evenings with speed bumps and all and those always make it more fun next to our house where I used to ride as a kid and now her and her best friend are doing the same.
P.S we found out last night in Girls Scouts that she was the top seller in her troop. There are 12 girls counting her and the troop total was 1400 and Emmy sold 402 of those. Now for the delivering.

Our Valentine's Date!

Today S. and I went on a little date. I planned a babysitter for 2 hours(THANKS TITI)! I tried to be slick and Packed a picnic and took him to the Botanical gardens.

It was BEAUTIFUL. We have had some really nice weather it was in the 80's and the wind has been blowing the smog away so the skys were blue. It was so peaceful no kids no mama mama or mom or dad dad dada dada.

Just the 2 of use sitting in a gazibo eating S. favorite sandwiches and listening to the birds and the rustle of the bushes and we even saw some coy fish and turtles in the pond.

I enjoyed myself and so did S. he told me he was suprised and he loved the idea. I think I might take the Girls up there around easter time when everything is in bloom and take some pics of them for the Holiday.

I hope you all are enjoying your loved ones on this loving holiday it might be early or on time but still show them a little extra.

Go Steelers!
Well as Trisha has already posted Steve and I Had our first super bowl party here at our house. It was so much fun. We had 9 kids here rangeing in the ages of 1 to 11 years old. We also had 12 or 13 adults I honestly thought our house would be to small but..... It went well the guys had a blast and us girls enjoyed hanging out and talking yes we were watching the kids but it is still nice to have other adults around no matter what. I want to thank everybody for helping and bringing stuff. And hey maybe we will see you next year as well HUH?
I did not get to watch the game or the commercials and I was a little bummed about it but I still had fun.
Here are some pics of out day.
When you get the time swing over to Trisha's blog (SIL)for more pics and details.


This is a shot of the Food. We had so much food this is not even all of it. I had to 2 Crock pots going on the counter. There was sandwiches, saviche', 7 layer dip, ranch dip, fresh salsa, hambergers, links, hot dogs, chicken, bbq lil wiennies, mini pigs and a blanket, and beer and soda. I think we all had about 1 million calories to many. :) The good news is my house was all back together by 9:30. I had to baby sit today a 6 month old and I knew I would not have time to clean today.



This is Jason and I showing of our sweet A@@ jersey's. If you look real close in the pictures I think only a couple of people where not sportin' ABE's Closeouts. This is where we purchase them all at.
Are you all curious where Zachary gets the serious tude from? Like Titi Like nephew! I love you Trisha and you know it.
The big ones having a blast with the new Horse shoe pits the guys built this weekend.

The little ones having way to much fun!
