Calling all doggie clothes makers!!

2009-01-16T05:55:00.000-08:00

So I just got a nephew

Thanks to my sister Sab!!

He is a funny lil guy! His name is MuShu and he is 8 weeks!! So tiny compared to my Boston Terrier, who is 13lbs! The previous owner of MuShu said he would be about 6-10 lbs fully grown!!
When we picked him up his mom jumped in my car and would not get out!! It was sooo sad! When we first saw him with his brothers he was the first one picked up and when I looked over at him he had his tongue sticking out the side of his mouth LOL!!
My sister is so happy to have him!!

So now for the Doggie Clothes Makers!!

I'm looking to feature some esty shops that make dog clothes!! I'm on the hunt to find my nephew and my dog some matching clothes when they see each other again in March!! So if you make clothes for dogs please leave a comment on this post and I will feature your shop!!! :)

Super Slacking... But here is an Update!

2008-12-05T12:50:00.000-08:00

I've been slacking on blogger lately!! Tons of things have happened since I've last been on here! I don't even know where to start!
I need to find an Etsy person to feature!! Please comment here if you would like to be featured on my blog and I will pick a random winner!!
I did a couple giveaways on my blog and a few people never sent out the item to the winner so I'm going to hold off on the giveaways for a while... Or I'll set it up to where if you would like to host a giveaway then have them send it to me so I can make sure the winner will receive it...
How was every one's Thanksgiving? We spent it with my in laws... NEVER did that in the almost 10 years Dean and I have been together. It wasn't as bad as I thought. But I still missed my family like crazy! My moms cooking is the best!
I still can't get over Christmas just being right around the corner!!
Sadly to say but I'm just not doing it this year! I'm getting a couple gifts for the kids and that's about it. I didn't even do cards this year.... I'm just not in a Christmas spirit I guess. Times are hard! But then again Dean and I have always waited to get each others gifts when taxes come or we take a family vacation which is better to me anyway since we get family time and we can go where we want and have wonderful memories!! We spoil our kids everyday of the year so I think they will be fine this year with just a couple of gifts LOL.
I did find a few cute recipes I would like to make for Leilani's teacher and a few friends and stick them in cute boxes to give away as gifts... I just hope they turn out good LOL.
My brother in law has been living with us since October.... He has been a huge help but can be a pain in the ass but what can I say we love him and he does help out a ton! Dean is helping him join the ARMY which is really good for him! The ARMY has done nothing but great things for Dean so I know it will work out for JB!! He's a great kid and this is his opportunity to make a great life for himself!! He leaves to boot camp in Jan. We will all miss him but we are very proud of him!
Let's see what else... Leilani brought home another progress report from school and is doing great! Her reports are always better and better she is doing great in school and she loves it! AJ is getting bigger and is such a big help to me during the day!! He is all about trains! My wonderful neighbors, Mary, Bryan, and Tyler gave him a HUGE train table with wooden and plastic trains and probably over 100 trains!!!! He is in train heaven when he plays with it! We play with him everyday and I'm amazed just watching him put the tracks together. We have the best neighbors! I looked for a train table and all the accessories and for that one they gave us... on craigslist this one person was selling it for over 700 dollars and thats did not include everything Mary gave AJ!! So I know that was a lot of money!! I'm just so grateful they thought of AJ and Leilani!!
Well I better get my butt ready to stand out in the cold to pick up Leilani from the bus stop... YES, I am finally letting her take the bus LOL... I was a paranoid mom in the beginning but I've met the bus driver and she seems really nice so I'm somewhat a little less paranoid haha. Gosh I can't imagine both of my babies going to school!! AJ has 2 more years to go AHHH!!!!
Again please comment if you would like your Etsy shop to be featured!!!!

2008-09-23T06:24:00.000-07:00

I feel like I never have time anymore. I'm so busy with Leilani going to school and getting use to the school routine, waking up early, driving to school, going back home, getting ready for work, go to work, come home, clean up, pick up Leilani from school, then cook dinner, eat dinner, get clothes ready for the next day, bathe the kids, bedtime for the kids, chat it up with my hubby, showertime for me, time for bed, wake up and do it all over again.I love it don't get me wrong but man I just feel so tired!!I just wish I could adjust faster after the weekend!!I miss my online friends!! I never get to go on my forums anymore :( I just never have time :( I'm struggling just to make hairbows sometimes! But today my goal is to get at least 10 hairbows done after work while AJ is napping!!!I did do a Heart Ladybug Tutu last night! I'll take a picture when Leilani gets off school!! It turned out pretty good!!Hope everyone is well!!!

Ok...These wheels and tires are almost new !!!! Here's the deal...I bought these wheels and tires almost new back in September 2007 and had them on the truck for about 2 months until I took them off in November before the winter. I put the wheels back on around April but decided to take them back off about 3 weeks later when I decided to trade in my truck because of the rising gas prices. So right now since I finally have the time to try to sell them because they need to go because they're just sitting around collecting dust in the garage. The wheels are 22" Cattivo 724 and the tires are 305/40/22 GoodYear Fortera's SL Edition. The tires were purchased (I have the receipt) at Sam's Club in Clarksville and come with the Road Hazard Warranty which entitle the owner to free rotation, balance and flat repair and the GoodYear warranty which will replace the tires for defect purposes if ever needed. The wheels have no defects what so ever...FLAWLESS!!!! Each spoke has a plastic insert that can be taken to be painted what ever color you choose or just left off...The choice is yours....All together this set cost me $2000.00 dollars.... I would like to have these wheels gone by winter so please make me an offer!!! ALL OFFERS WILL BE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION No trades please...If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask what so ever...I beleive the bolt pattern is 6x135mm...Please double check for fitment...I HAVE MORE PICTURES OF WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE WITHOUT THE INSERTS AND ALSO WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX...PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IF YOUR INTERESTED

Tan line...

2008-09-07T08:22:00.000-07:00

So I have this crazy flip flop tan line since I wear flip flops a lot during the summer.. well I painted my toes this hot pink color and I was outside with my husband with no shoes on and he looks down at my feet and says "are those the new thing? invisiflops?"

So now we have this joke going that I could sell invisiflops to everyone and just paint your toes a different color for a variety of invisiflops hahaha... do you think anyone would buy them?? haha I'll have to take a picture of my invisiflops today and add them on here.

..............

Here are a few pictures of my doggie! He loves wearing that bow tie haha....

And here are some crazy pictures of my silly hubby and son...

New matching outfits that I made

2008-09-05T16:30:00.000-07:00

Thank you to my neighbor Shino who helped me thread my sewing machine!! My mother in law gave me a sewing machine almost a year ago and I had yet to use it cause I didn't know how to thread it!! Well my neighbor came over here and did it for me! I'm so blessed to live by some of the most awesome people you could ever meet yet live next too!Hope you like the pics...The doll's dress I did in a hurry because I started like 5 mins before I had to pick up Leilani at school... So the bottom of her dress is not sewn together the way I wanted.But Leilani loves both outfits!I've had so much fun I even made a matching tote bag and eyeglass case for Leilani!!

Leilani and one of her American Girl dolls!!

2008-09-05T11:44:00.000-07:00

Thank you Tiffany sooooo much for all the wonderful stuff you sent home with Dean! We love it all! I think I'm having more fun dressing up both of the American Girl dolls then Leilani is hahaha! I made Leilani and her dolls outfit from dress to hairbows! I just got done making another dress for her other doll! I love it!

I have more pictures to post of the other American Girl Doll & dress and some we took with Dean since he has been back home! YAY!

We took Leilani to school this morning and it was Dean's first time driving her... You could tell he was sad yet happy he loves that she enjoys school its all she ever talks about! She does great at school. Everything she brings home I save I'm making a book of everything she has done with the dates on it so when she grows up I can show her what she did.

AJ is adjusting better with her going to school. My work helps him alot since he can play with the other kids. But once we get off it's all about Lego's and playing super hero guys haha. He teaches me about Iron Man and Hulk. It's too funny to just hear him talk about all these things that I have no clue about.

Lunch with Leilani!!!

2008-08-28T16:02:00.001-07:00

After I got off work today I went and had lunch with Leilani at school and what a trip that was! I really thought that we would be sitting with her class at their table... NOPE you sit at a table in the back with other parents and your child... It just made me feel a little sad for the other kids who didn't have their mommies or daddies there. But I'm sure they will have their day...I still can't get over the fact that they serve themself in the line... they get their tray and get their own food and take their tray to their table and eat... So weird to see these lil kids do that big job! They have 30 mins to eat and then off to class.I could tell Leilani was very happy to see us.I still need to add the ONE picture I got of her getting on the bus yesterday (thanks to my camera that died!!!) But the bus thing wont be happening for a good while!! She didn't like riding back home she was scared so no more of that. I don't know why the heck I even tried doing that! UGH! She is my baby!!!!I better get dinner done... I'll post pictures later :)

2008-08-28T08:18:00.000-07:00

So Leilani has been doing great at school!!! She loves it! She always comes home with a terrific job stamp!!! YAY! She rode the bus yesterday and let me tell you that was not for her or me!! So never again... well at least for a little while anyway...She does have a fund raiser and she wants to sell so she can earn the "cool" prizes... Check out the site...www.paragon-promotions.comthen go to Place an Orderthen your access code: (there are 3)Wishes-1Together-1Magazines-1If you want to place an order let me know and we can take your order so that I can put it on her order form and you can just mail me a check or paypal me the money and I will put your order in....Money has to be at school by the 7th of Sept!!I have pictures I'll be adding soon!! Everyday she goes to school with a matching hairbow(s) that I make just for the outfit she is wearing. HAHA I started making her matching earrings too but somedays she just doesnt want to wear there UGH oh well haha.I've been keeping myself and AJ busy in the morning we go to work after we drop off Leilani he is able to come since its a daycare position which is nice no paying for a babysitter to watch him I can bring him in and he plays with all the kids. Then when we get off all he ever says is "mommy can we pick up Leilani yet??" So then I have to sit and play Lego's and superheros with him till its time to pick her up. Poor guy he misses his sister so much while she is in school!!Well I better cut this short... time to go have lunch with her at school today!! YAY!!

Today was....

2008-08-12T18:13:00.000-07:00

Leilani's first full day at school and let me tell ya it was hard on me! Actually A LOT harder on AJ!! Poor little guy didn't know what to do with himself. He missed her so much. When we dropped her off at school he gave her a hug and kiss and would not let go! He cried so hard :( We got home and I took him for a bike ride and as soon as we got in the door he went straight to my room about 11 am and fell asleep till 2 pm! Poor guy!As soon as we picked her up it was a total different story! He was so excited to see her and he was so into riding his bike unlike this morning!!! Leilani had a GREAT day! She ate all her lunch I packed and she read my little note I put in there! She loved it! She has been non stop telling me about what happened!! She even took a nap!!! She never does that at home!! Her teacher gave her the cutest little award for being such a good girl!I need to buy a scrapbook and just start scrapbooking about her days at school! I took a ton of pictures again today... BUT this time I laid off taking pics at the school since last time she was a bit annoyed with me LOL. I'll be posting those soon!!

Here are some pictures... We just had a mini party since we were going out of town the next day...

Sorry I've been slacking with posting pictures...

AJ got a little too excited he pottied in his pants so we had to change him but we didn't have any extra shorts hahaha... There was no shame in his game though! He still played like he had them on haha.

Leilani's First day of School

2008-08-09T08:34:00.000-07:00

Yes, I went picture crazy!!

I would have taken more but I didn't want the teacher to think I was some crazy mom.

Leilani loved school! She met so many friends and come to find out a lot of them live right by us!! Which is awesome because IF SOMEDAY I do decide she can ride the bus it will be a bit better since her classmates will be on the same bus... But as for right now she will NOT ride a bus... I'm the paranoid mom!!

I feel so old now my baby is growing up! I still can't get over the fact she is already in SCHOOL!!!

I had to capture every moment LOL... Here she was eatting her breakfast!! YUM

Before we got in the car to go to school...

Waiting in the car for school to open... We got there like 40 minutes early!! Good thing we did cause it was PACKED!

Waiting for the doors to open... AJ really thought he was going to be going to school too...

Poor lil guy!

Yeah I think she was sick of taking pictures I think it was embarrassing her... Oh well I need to have all these pictures for my scrapbook and memories!!!

Coloring her morning activity

She forgot to untuck her shirt after going potty LOL

She was so proud of her work! Poor girl really tried to write her first and last name on that tiny little line!! cracks me up!

After school a couple of our neighbors invited us to go to this jumping place... what a blast that was!!

2008-08-07T17:32:00.000-07:00

So Leilani will be starting school tomorrow and we met her teacher tonight!! I just pray that she does very well in school... Well I should put that differently I know she will I just pray that she doesn't learn bad things from other students... and of course you know my seperation anxiety! UGH I'm gonna miss her so much! AJ is going to be so lonely! But she will meet friends and have a blast! I'm sure!

Pictures to share :)

2008-07-16T09:50:00.000-07:00

A ton of pictures!! Remember to click on each picture to make them bigger :)4th of July pictures...Since we were on the road the morning of the 4th I was pretty tired to go anywhere....So we just enjoyed the fireworks from my moms driveway LOLAJ telling me he has a boo-booMy little sister....The kids playing in the cul-de-sac having fun....

I never thought she would even go near this!! But she proved me wrong!

My beautiful babygirl!

Watching the fireworks with MeMo...

Get ready for a ton of pictures!! Here are Dean's pictures... He was lucky and got to go to DC for the 4th!!! Wish I could have been there!!

My birthday pictures.....

My parents took me out to dinner and damn my food was GOOOOOOOD!!! I can't wait to take Dean there! I wish my other sister could have been there I know she loves that place!! :(

Miss you Sab!

The kiddo's...

Can you see Hugo's cast? He had a rock or glass slice his paw open so we took him to the vet and now he is doing much better!! My poor little guy was worth every penny of his vet bill!! They said if it was a little deeper they would have to sew it back but luckily it wasn't too bad.... He loves playing soccer so that is how it happened when we went to the school and kicked around the ball when he went to get the ball he must have stepped on something... So now my poor little guy has to wear little boots when we take him for walks.

I was bored....

We went to PaPa's work picnic....

The had some yummy food there... too bad I don't eat beef anymore... They did have some great coleslaw and potato salad!! My hubby thinks I'm nuts for not eatting beef but I'm doing good and I haven't caved in yet!! I did cave with the pork though my mom cooked sausage biscuit gravy and that's my favorite and they all knew I would eat it! Errrr!!

We went to Hallmark, Kaleidoscope

Pretty cool place the kids are free to make arts and crafts from cards to puzzles.... and much more. And the best thing is....

IT'S FREE!!!!

I have more pictures to load.... so more to come :)

I can't stand going to the DMV!

2008-07-01T06:57:00.001-07:00

Since my drivers license expires soon I woke up MAD early to go down to the DMV!I get there at 6:30 am thinking I'm going to beat everyone in there...WRONG!!There was a line wrapped around the building and I was the only one that brought my kids...Didn't matter that I brought them anyway they were well behaved.So, I'm waiting in line for an hour....This DMV lady goes to each person in line asking if everyone has what they need...I'm about 3-5 people away from getting my license renewed...Well the lady comes over and asked what I need I tell her I just need to renew and my license is from WA state.. She asks me if I have everything I show her... Well she sees I was born in the Philippines from my birth certificate and asks if I have a born abroad... I did!! PHEW!THINK AGAIN!I need the freaking original! I only had a copy! Then she sent me over to this man so that I could get an address or whatever for the born abroad... well he didn't know what the hell he was doing... and looked at me like I was some kind of damn alien because I was born in the Philippines! I would have this probably if I wasn't like in the freaking country where you hardly see any filipinas! I knew I should have taken care of this crap before we left WA!Now I'm stuck having to get one here in this stupid state!So I wasted an hour getting the kids and I ready and another hour waiting in that damn line!So now my mom has to overnight me everything!This wouldn't have happened if she would just give me the original to all my stuff! I'm grown and married with kids.....This is not the first time I've had problems!Dean and I went to Victoria,BC, Canada... and when it was time for us to board the boat back to WA they said that I was not a US citizen...WTF! My dad is MILITARY and yes I am a US citizen! They really didn't want me going to WA they were going to deport my ass back to the Philippines! I haven't been there since I was freaking 2! I just kept thinking my husband better get me the hell out of this situation! If he left me in Canada oh he wouldn't have heard the last of me! HAHA They just told me I needed my born abroad certificate and all my documents next time we come back... Well SHIT now I'm terrified to go back I might get left behind haha!Needless to say they let me back and all was good...I MEAN COME ON I'M PROBABLY THE WHITEST FILIPINA YOU HAVE EVER SEEN!I'M JUST HALF!
So that has been my lovely morning... I even did my hair and did my makeup good cause I wanted to have a good picture unlike my last UGLY one!DAMN this sucks!But hey I got into some shorts that I haven't worn since before I had Leilani!! Yup that's right I'm losing weight! I'll be losing more once I get to my moms and get to work out and swim while they watch the kids!!I'm gonna get skinny like I was when Dean and I first started dating!I'll try my hardest anyway... You know what screw that... I WILL!!!I want him to come home and be like DAMN now that is my WIFEY! haha... Not like I'm fat or anything right now I just want to lose my chunk LOLWell I hope my day gets better it's only 9 am! UGH!

2008-06-30T18:51:00.000-07:00

I miss my hubby...The kids and I didn't do much today just catching up on more episodes of Jon & Kate plus 8!!Leilani found a couple of mine and Dean's mp3 players and I put some songs on there for her and AJ... Thank God she found 2 so that they wouldn't fight!They were walking all over the house listening to them dancing it was pretty funny.I went to Walmart today to return something... And let me tell you some days I love walmart other days I can't stand them! Some of the people that work at my walmart are okay others are just errrrr....But yeah that was pretty much our day... BORING!I have one load of laundry to fold and its sitting on my bed looking at me... I'm tempted to just kick it off my bed and go to sleep... But I won't because it needs to be done and tomorrow is an early day for the kids and I... BLEH! To my hubby: Sorry for being grouchy yesterday... LMAO.... If I could just be there with you right now We miss you soooooo much Daddy!Do good and we are very proud of you!!!Sending you a million billion And one good back rub! ,Your Wifey

One question.....

2008-06-29T15:29:00.000-07:00

Why have a cell phone if you aren't going to answer it?????Yes, I'm mighty grouchy right now!I have a ton of stuff to get done and here I sit in hell while my wonderful husband is living it up in my favorite state with our bestfriend!SOOOOO NOT FAIR!ERRRRR!They say I'm grouchy... YOUR DAMN RIGHT I AM!! You stay in hell with your two kids who have done nothing but act up all day long, try to get all this shit done, in the mean time your hubby is having a blast in the place YOU want to be!!UGH whatever!I can't wait till we move and get the hell out of this freaking place!

I'd be just fine if that wasn't happening...

But time will only tell maybe he will be able to get back in time for that!!

I'll have pics included in that one!!

As Ate Angie would say...

2008-06-23T21:44:00.000-07:00

Family + Bubble Tea= Happy :)Saturday Saturday, we met up with Ate Angie and Kuya Edwin as a bye "for now"....They treated us to bubble tea and Mexican food for lunch! Which they shouldn't have because it was our turn!!And they bought Leilani and AJ the CUTEST little stuffed animals!!

I thought that was super sweet how they read my blog and found out AJ loves peguins!!

AJ named his Happy Feet and Leilani named her puppy Brownie!

They can go online with them too!!They don't go to bed without them and they are always taking them in the car and making them sit in the middle with the seat belt!! LOLThank you both soooooo much for Saturday! We all had a blast! We are going to miss you both so much!I promise that if we go to Cali we will most definitely hang out and you can show us what Cali has to offer!!Oh now let me get back to that Bubble Tea!! We haven't had good bubble tea since we left Washington! I LOVED my green mango! That was yum!!!And Mexican food for lunch oh gosh that was good! We ordered chicken nachos and that was the best nachos I've had! Dean and I are still talking about it!!!I'm going to miss you both!DON'T leave us in HELLSVILLE!!! HAHA SundayWe woke up and went out to Cracker Barrel for breakfast...YUM!Dean was hungry and I didn't feel like cooking so we said fine let's go!Gosh this is starting to make it seem like all we do is go out and eat... Trust me we really don't.... I do cook!! hahaWe watched that one show called 30 days...On FXAND HOLY CRAP!!!Here is the one we saw....
It has truly made me think twice about a lot!I'm now no longer eating beef...I would love to just cut all of the animal stuff out of my diet but that would just be tough with the kids and Dean eating it....I did cut pork out of my diet after that whole Vancouver deal.... UGH! My family thought I was nuts but oh well!I have started looking into more vegetarian recipes and today I had a coleslaw that was vinegar based and that was really good!If you have any good recipes please do share!!!

Anybody need rims & tires??

2008-06-19T17:48:00.000-07:00

So I'm watching TV and****BREAKING NEWS****Jamie Lynn Spears just had her baby....What is wrong with this picture??Well my opinion of this is first off why the hell is this breaking news???Why do people feel the need to make this breaking news??Maybe it's just me PMSing but seriously why??The kids and I went to the movies today for that kids summer program thing they have where we can go for free.Today we watchedThe Water Horse!Good movie!!I made French Onion soup for dinner with a Texas toast on top and some shredded cheese! YUMMMM that was good!I also made Tilipia and corn for Dean and the kids....I really need to get my butt in gear and take pictures of all the jewelry I've made!! Leilani made a cute little beaded/heart bracelet for herself... When I get around to take pictures I'll take one of it too.Well I better get off of here and finish up my dishes!

Happy Happy Happy Birthday to my Wonderful Husband!!

2008-06-18T08:37:00.000-07:00

My hubby is 27 today!! Whoohoo!! So last night I tried to catch him off guard and take him out to dinner but he was so tired so I said scratch that... Since AJ kept telling him about the dang cheesecake and Leilani kept bugging me about it... I ended up giving it to him last night. Damn candles blew out before I could get up the stupid stairs with them!So last night he had his work clothes in the washer but needed to switch them out so I thought it would be a good opportunity to put out his bday present on the table so when he got up he would see it... So I offered to switch out the clothes so he could just go to bed...I also packed his lunch and stuck a slice of red velvet cake in his lunch box which he loves! With a little birthday note...This morning his alarm goes off he gets up and does the daily routine... I finally heard him walk in the dinning room and all I could hear was him laughing a little (like when someone is surprised but also going aww at the same time kinda sound) then I hear all the tissue paper coming out of his present after he read all of our cards. Then he came back to bed and said thank you to all of us and said we were the best!!So we will probably go out to dinner tonight or this weekend!! I got him a gift card to his favorite restaurant!!LOGAN'S!!!We haven't been in a while so I thought it was a nice thing to do...It's going to be bittersweet this Saturday!! My cousin's (Ate Angie & Kuya Edwin) live down towards Nashville and we are going to go meet up with them to have a last outing with them.... They are moving to Cali!!! Must be nice to get our of Helleessee!! Pack me with you!!!It's going to be nice to see them but so sad that we won't be able to see them for a while!Who knows maybe we will be back to Washington and I know I'll see them for sure there! Family!!All I know is that I'm so ready to move from this place! I'll miss going to St.Louis but I won't miss this state at all!! No offense, people who love it here... Just my opinion! It's okay sometimes but not for metropolitan city people!!
ARMY bring us to the CITY life again!

Tomorrow....

2008-06-17T13:07:00.001-07:00

My husband turns 27!!! 3 more years to 30 I keep telling him haha! Then he reminds me I'm not too far behind him....The kids and I are doing something special for him... I would write it on here but he may look at this later so that would spoil it...I'm just in shock that he is actually home for his birthday and not deployed! But of course he will be missing my birthday this year :(

Thought this was cute....

2008-06-17T13:04:00.000-07:00

Our trip to St.Louis!!

2008-06-16T16:48:00.000-07:00

What a blast we had!! I can't tell you enough how much fun we all had! We tried to do everything we could do in the 2 days we were there. If we could stay longer I so would have! I miss it already! Now we are back in "Hellville"!!So we stayed on post there and since we brought our dog with us they gave us a 3 bedroom house to stay in! It was just like an on post housing but they renovated the older ones to temporary lodging which is super nice!! We had our own little yard and corner unit with a park in the back! They supplied a kennel and food dishes even though we brought ours but I thought that alone was great! It was fully equipped with kitchen appliances and a washer and dryer even though we only stayed and night and didn't have to use it but now we at least know next time we go there we just need to bring ourselves and clothes! LOLSo the first day we got there we went to the St.Louis Zoo.... BEST ever!! This was our fourth time... So I already had tons of pictures of the animals but as most of you know AJ LOVES penguins so I had to take more of them....They have a Build a Bear in the zoo and our 2nd time there AJ got a penguin and Leilani got a prairie dog so when we went this time they brought them and we got them an outfit for each of them.Here are some pictures of our trip to the zoo...(click to make them bigger)

My wonderful men!

Peek-a-boo!!

Now as for this lil guy! Dean was waving our little bag we got from BABW and he looked over so I snapped the pic! Well good thing I got the pic of him when I did BECAUSE that nasty lil thing did something not good for little ones eyes haha!!

Taking a break to enjoy a frozen cherry drink and some water!

Following the footsteps...

I Love Elephants!!

We went in the penguin igloo twice!!

Puffins!!

After the zoo we went back to the house and spent time with our doggie till it was time to eat!! We ended up going to Red Robin! YUM!

I did have a drink okay I had two! I had my nuclear ice tea! Love my long islands!

And then Dean went and had the bartender make me a drink and Man that was good!!

After that I was done!

The next day we went over to Grant's Farm! Cool place to go! It's free well so was the zoo!! Just pay for parking! It's owned by Anheuser-Busch! Which meant 2 free beers!! LOL Dean loves that part! They had the biggest horses ever so beautiful!

Clydesdales!

On the trolley riding through the park...

3 Cows were right in our driving path!! I got a pic of the back end of one LOL

The kids call him ET!

One of Dean's free beers!!

Doesn't this horse look fake??? But I promise it's not!!

This is Ms. Budweiser!!

AJ LOVED feeding the camels!!

Here is a video of him feeding them...

Dean's favorite animal.... Clydesdale horses!!

After this we went back to the house and check out and got our doggie so he could join us in going to the St.Louis Arch and around the city!!

There was a HUGE muesum under the arch!! Here are some pictures Dean took while he and the kids were down there... I had Hugo so we chilled out in the sun for a bit.

The Cardinals were playing!! I took these as we were driving by....

Then it was back over to towards the zoo where there is TONS to do! From muesums to walking trails to just about whatever... We went to a place called the Boathouse and we did the paddle boat! The cool thing was it was very pet friendly!!! Hugo had a blast on the paddle boat!

Those of you who know me know that I'm terrified of birds and well we went under a bridge in the paddle boat and there one was in a nest!!! RIGHT ABOVE MY HEAD!!

Leilani brought her BABW stickers and wanted me to take a picture of it for her...

Can you tell who gave up paddling?? Yeah that would be ME! LOL

And this is why!!

My hubby FARTED!

Can we say thank God paddle boats are NOT enclosed!!!

And this is him when we all finally smelt the FUNK!

On our way home we stopped off at our rest stop we always stop at and let Hugo go potty and played fetch for a bit...

Here are some random pics from the road....

We saw Dale Earnhart Jr. and Jeff Gordon's big rig LOL Pretty cool!

Hope you enjoyed our pictures from our trip!

I know we had a great time!

On the way home we had Applebee's to celebrate Father's Day and Dean's Birthday which is Wed!! Leilani and I surprised him and told the waitress it was his bday and they all came over and sang to him and gave him a strawberry cheesecake shooter! His face was priceless!!

OH by the way this whole tomato crap is really starting to annoy me!! I had the hardest time trying to order!!! LOL

Today was an AWESOME day!!

2008-06-12T15:53:00.000-07:00

I can't begin to tell you what a great day we have had!! I'm burnt!!! But I still had a wonderful day!My hubby has made these past two weeks the best two weeks ever!!!!!I love you babe!!Right now I'm going to go get some cream and put it on my shoulders OUCH! I'll load pics later... I have a few!!****UPDATE: PICS ADDED****

UGH!

2008-06-11T18:08:00.000-07:00

I'm so ready to take a trip and get out of here! Even for a day would be nice!!I did start a new hobby! I brought out all my jewelry making supplies that I've had but never did... and I've been making jewelry all day!! Not to be modest or anything but dang they came out good!I'll take pictures and post them!!
I made mommy and me bracelets and pearly necklaces to a little ring for leilani... I've made a total of 17 items today!! I'm on a roll! I'm going to add them to my Etsy shop too!! Who knows maybe I'll make money off of them!! Some I'll be keeping since I made a few to match my summer dresses... So if anyone is in need for some jewelry let me know LOLI'll post pictures soon... I'm all pooped out right now... Our stupid cable/telephone/Internet provider SUCKS!!!! Internet has been off and on for the past 2 weeks now!!! Almost like they want us to have a certain time slot to be on..... UGH! They are suppose to be sending someone out to see what is the deal since there has been no outages.... All I can say is I'm so ready to move!!

My bestie Julie emailed me this...Crazy huh?!?!

THE YEAR 1908

This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine! The year is 1908. One hundred years ago. What a difference a century makes! Here are some statistics for the Year 1908 : ************ ********* ********* ******The average life expectancy was 47 years. Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtubOnly 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles Of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower! The average wage in 1908 was 22 cents per hour. The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME . Ninety percent of all doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION! Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which Were condemned in the press AND the government as 'substandard. ' Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen. Coffee was fifteen cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from Entering into their country for any reason. Five leading causes of death were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!! Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea Hadn't been invented yet. There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, 'Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind,regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health.' ( Shocking? DUH! ) Eighteen percent of households had at least One full-time servant or domestic help. There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE ! U.S.A. ! Now I forwarded this from someone else without typing It myself, and sent it to you and others all over Canada & U.S.A Possibly the world, in a matter of seconds! Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years. IT STAGGERS THE MIND, EH?

We saw the bee movie even though we have it... It was nice to see it on the big screen:)Then we went out to lunch and the park.

We had over 3,000 tickets!!! AJ had so much fun he didn't care if the game was actually playing or not he just wanted to play haha and Leilani was all about the tickets! hahaI can't believe he is 3 already!!

My Poor Hubby!

2008-06-03T11:26:00.001-07:00

My hubby went in for surgery today.... He had to get 2 plates and 8 screws taken out from his jaw.... Poor guy.

He had surgery about 4 years ago to correct his under bite when they did that they put screws, plates, broke his jaw and pushed it back, and also had gortex implants in his cheeks....

Last year he had the implants taken out cause they were causing so much pain for him. Even to the touch.... Just picture little AJ head butting him!! OUCH! The last time AJ did that Dean said these gotta come out cause he was spitting up blood. So, those came out last year....

Now today the screws and plates came out... His doctor was a great guy kept me posted on what was going on. Dean is on a ton of meds again! I keep having to yell at him to rest!! So he is laying on the pullout sectional and I'm sitting right here watching him! HAHA!

After Dean's surgery he went to get dressed and all the sudden his nose was just gushing! The nurse said it was from him bending down.

Oh and before I forget he said the sweetest thing to me before he went in for surgery!!

"I love you because you posses all the perfect qualities that a man could ever ask for in a woman, wife, and mother."

NOW HOW SWEET IS THAT? YEAH I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND EVER!!!

That made me feel so good and that was before they gave him the meds hahaha!!

I love my ARMY man!!!

Speaking of my ARMY man....

Donate to support our troops!! Anything helps!

I sleepy....

2008-06-02T23:12:00.000-07:00

My baby is growing too fast!!!

AJ and I sat down and came up with this list... What a trip I tell ya... His whole room is Cars so go figure he would want more!

Nevermind on the Chili's

2008-05-30T20:29:00.000-07:00

Chili's was way to packed so we went to O'Charleys...

still good....

free rolls!

What's on the menu....

2008-05-30T15:48:00.000-07:00

What's for dinner tonight???

It's another hot day here and I'm not in the mood to cook. Plus Dean told me we can go to Chili's tonight so whooohooo for us!!!

I think I will be getting....

LETTUCE WRAPS
Delicious grilled Asian-spiced chicken with carrots, water chestnuts, cilantro, crispy rice noodles and toasted almonds. Served with fresh Bibb lettuce and sesame-ginger and peanut sauces for dipping.

I'm not too hungry I just want something light and something that is good! I would like to have a drink too but we will have the kids and Leilani gets really upset if I have a drink.... so there goes that Long Island for me... Sad!

I do recommend....

SOUTHERN SMOKEHOUSE BACON BIG MOUTH BURGER*
Extra thick-cut brown sugar & chile-rubbed bacon topped with smoked cheddar cheese, crispy onion strings, mayo, shredded lettuce, tomato and pickle. Served with ancho-chile BBQ sauce on the side.

I had 4 free coupons a couple months ago for any smokehouse burger... and let me tell you this was sooooooooooo good!!!

Rice?!?

2008-05-30T15:16:00.000-07:00

Okay, I have to admit when gas gets higher and higher everyday I get really pissed now I'm just hurt that there is a shortage on rice?!?!?!?!

I went to the commissary today to grocery shop and I needed rice and there was a sign talking about the rice shortage! What the heck!

I know I may only be half pinay but come on I still need my rice AT LEAST every other day!

I'm very disappointed!!

Needless to say I grabbed my little bag of rice and continued on shopping...

Anyone else....?

2008-05-30T09:36:00.000-07:00

Going organic? Or have been? I've done some of the baby food when my kids were little. And we do buy organic peanut butter which my kids and Dean love!

I wish I could go totally organic but it's pricey but so worth it! I told Dean when he makes rank and I go back to work we are doing nothing but organic!

Yesterday, I ran over to Target to get face powder cause I can't really do the foundation stuff especially in the summer.... anywho I saw some that was organic and I grabbed it! It comes in a cute little container... Yes it was a little more then the rest of them but it had a 2.00 coupon with it so I was all for it. I came home tried it and I love it! It goes on so much better then the others I've tried and to know its organic is even a bigger plus!

I think that ever since I saw that episode of Jon & Kate plus 8 when they had Sara Snow on there I just wanted to go more organic!!

Sara Snow has some great ways to go Green and great recipes to check out!!

What is wrong with some people???

2008-05-30T09:28:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine showed me this and I was really peeved when I saw this... How could anyone do this to a child a 5 year old at that who is just in Kindergarten!!

Wendy Portillo, a Florida Kindergarten teacher, somehow thought it would be a good idea to invite her students, one by one, to tell one of their 5-year old classmates why they didn't like him. "A.B." has behavioural issues, and has been sent to the principal's office on occassion. After one such visit, Ms. Portillo held a vote on whether the students wanted to keep A.B. in their class. A.B. is in the process of being tested for Asperger's Syndrome, a form of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Whether this child has a disability or not, NO CHILD should be humiliated in such a fashion. If you think that this teacher deserves to be fired for such blatantly unprofessional and discriminatory behaviour, please sign this petition!

AHHHHHHHH

2008-05-30T08:49:00.000-07:00

My baby is about to be 3!!!! Join the countdown with me!! While I weep away
We still aren't sure what we are doing for his birthday yet sad! Dean and I talked about it a little last night we will probably get him one of those mini cakes and have a cute dinner with just us and then on the 14th we might take a trip to St.Louis zoo!! Which I love! And since Dean's birthday is the 18th its like celebrating both. I just wish we had family around to celebrate with us Oh gosh and Father's day is the 15th!! Sheesh busy month!

And Papa says... ummm its okay

Leilani says no really you can like mommy and daddy does... they always take showers together!!

Talk about embarrassing!! haha I was blushing hard! I know we may be married for 7 years now but that is something you dont want your parents knowing haha.

So, Papa tells Dean and Dean's reaction is.... yeah we conserve our water that way!!! hahahahaha!!!!

Sunday the 25th of May!!

2008-05-26T19:21:00.000-07:00

The 25th of May is the day Dean and I had our church wedding... So we consider it to be our other Anniversary....

On Sunday, Dean and "PaPa" (as the kids say) went to go for a run in the trails while the kids, my mom, and I went to the PX. Well, my mom and I figured they would be back at the house so we picked up some good yummy bagels from Einstein Bros Bagels... YUM!! And we brought them home... Well what do ya know no one was home....

They finally get back from their run and I notice Dean being a lil odd... He went to the shower and turned it on but yet came back out with his shirt off walking around kinda following me... I just kept thinking in my head go take a shower! LOL....

Well, he goes in the shower and my parents and I are in the kitchen talking and the home phone rings... it's his coworker so I walk over to the bathroom to see if Dean wants it or what... He opens the shower and says did you get my text message I sent you?........

Well to make a long story short I go back in the kitchen to look for my cell and behind it is a card that he got me. It was the most beautiful card and text message!! Even after all these years he still knows how to make me blush and make my heart skip a beat!!

My phone was suppose to beep when I got the text so I would see the card but I ruined it since it was on vibrate :(

We went over to Starbucks and let the kids play at the park... It was HOT out!!!

(before the park, Leilani)

(Athena, my Little sister!!)

(AJ)

(Dean)

(Me and PaPa)

We came home and we all took a good hour long nap. The heat just took all the energy out of us all....

We get up and off to the Chinese Resturant... (My moms choice) What can I say I was wanting all you can eat king crab legs too!! LOL

Getting back home was the funny part!! We took one car and me and my mom rode in the very back of the car/trunk haha. This is what happens when you stick us in the back....

Then a cop was behind us so we ducked haha..

Dean and I wanted to get some more alone time together...We really took advantage of my parents being here!! We went on a bike ride last night and I really like going at night... I was all bikered out too LOL... I had some holes in my jeans and a cute top on with some tim's on hahaha...

We drove down to the "river" (can't you tell we live in the damn country!! RIVER not beach or Ocean... RIVER!!!) And we went for a walk it was nice to get out and walk and talk. I wish we were able to do stuff like that more often. But it's hard cause I'm really weird when it comes to people watching my kids... I'm way over protected and don't trust a lot of people. So, when my parents come over or we go there it's nice cause we can go out as a couple.

I wish this weekend never ended....

My weekend was great!!!

2008-05-26T18:18:00.001-07:00

My parents and little sister came for the holiday weekend...

The hubby and I got to celebrate our 7 year anniversary and let me tell you it was GREAT getting to spend one on one time with the love of my life!!!

Saturday we went over to the cave and trails and walked it with the kids and my parents that was a trip I tell ya! AJ wanted my mom who is 5 foot tall to carry him the whole way... Let me remind you all AJ is not light! LOL... The crazy thing is my mom held him most of the time!! That was a 2 mile walk we did!!

(My little sister, Athena)

(Leilani, AJ, and Athena)

When we got back home Dean asked if I wanted to go on the motorcycle since I wanted to get my haircut I said why not... So we went on the motorcycle and let me tell you when I first rode it 2 years ago I hated it... Now I LOVE it!!!!

Here is my new hair... minus the color... I'll be doing that tomorrow...Don't mind the messiness of it... I just flipped it with my hands really quick

When we got back my mom BBQ'd and that was YUM!! She made a ranch chicken on the grill and hot dogs for the kids.... I made baked beans and fries to go on the side... with a couple cocktails for the parents :)

Dean and I got ready to go out and let me tell you... We went to Nashville and we were going to go to Hard Rock Cafe.... Which was cool and all but the minute we got downtown I was like uhhhhh check out all these cowboys hahaha... Too much country music for Dean... So we ended up going to Dave & Busters!! LOVE THAT PLACE!!!

We ordered chips and dip since we already ate... and drinks... Yeah enough to make me drunk hahaha....

First drink:

Mango Berry- Run with the bulls with our blend of Malibu Mango rum, orange juice, Red Bull and strawberry mix.

Second drink:

(Long Island's are my favorite!!! But I love it with Cherry Coke... So I had asked for Cherry Coke but they only do that cherry grenadine stuff so I had opted for that... They just gave me that minus the coke and let me tell you that was some strong stuff!!!)

TNTea- Pure dynamite! We blend ABSOLUT vodka, Tanqueray gin and Bacardi rum, then add Grand Marnier, sweet-n-sour and Coca-Cola®, served in a souvenir glass that's yours to keep.

Third Drink:

The Shizzle- Not one, but two flavors of rum ~ Malibu Coconut and Malibu Pineapple ~ in the mix with smooth Stoli Vanil and pineapple juice.

Mind you, after the 1st drink I was already buzzing.... I'm a cheap date my hubby likes it that way haha. We had a blast! We really needed that getaway. It reminded me of when we were dating way back when... Oh I love my husband!!

(After a couple of drinks...)

(My Wonderful Hubby)
(Walking back to the car... Yeah I'm drunk!!)
(I think Dean wanted to take a pic of himself hahaha)

Gas prices!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-05-22T16:57:00.000-07:00

I can't freaking stand gas prices!!!!!!!

ERRRRRRRR

What's the cheapest in your area??

http://gasbuddy.com/

Haircut or no haircut is the question!!

2008-05-22T09:10:00.000-07:00

So I'm sick and tired of my hair since its short and like a trendy cut I have to keep it cut short if not it grows out and looks horrible which is right now!!! errr I really want my long hair back! I even asked Dean if I could get extensions LOL. He said go for it.... But do I really wanna spend all that money when I could grow my hair out free haha... I even looked into the Jessica Simpson/ Ken Paves hair clip ons...

Oh I just don't know what to do...

Okay I think I've convinced myself to just grow it out... LOL I'm just gonna go in and get highlights no cut or trim and call it a day! LOL

Yesterday...

2008-05-19T07:11:00.000-07:00

We had went out to lunch with the kids and went to Nashville... What a lunch!

So we are all eating and enjoying the food talking about memories of our marriage since it was our anniversary.... Well in the middle of the table the waiter brings our a plate of some veggies and peppers... so we could add to our dish....

Sitting across from me is AJ and all the sudden he looks up rubbing his mouth saying hot... look down and he just ate a damn HOT ass pepper! We were giving him water to flush it down... NOTHING! So Dean gets up takes him to the bathroom to wash his hands and mouth only for AJ to rub his dang eyes!! OUCH!! My poor baby all Leilani and I could hear was him screaming I stopped eating from then on I just wanted to get the hell outta that place and go to the hospital!

Dean had took AJ to the car and AJ was so ready to leave but Leilani and I were still in the restaurant and I didn't have my debit card on me so we could pay and get the hell out.... So finally when they came back.... the waiter comes back with some kind of jello. AJ was gaging on it so that was that... then I take him to the bathroom to wash his poor red face to get all that pepper shit out! UGH!!

And I see a dish full of candy and lollipops so I grabbed a hand full and he started eating that lollipop and it made everything so much better. I think we made him eat about 10 candies with so many glasses of water. Then we were off to get ice cream!!

Thank GOD he knows how to control his potty and poop cause man he drank a ton of water!! So when I took him to the potty it was like a 20 min trip haha. YAY for no diapers!!!

That was suppose to be a good happy day for me but man with that drama who could really enjoy it??

Dean and I will be celebrating this coming weekend without kids!!! whoohoo! Thanks to my parents who will be coming down!! :)

Our Wedding Story

2008-05-18T19:22:00.000-07:00

Seven years ago today, Dean and I got married!

Seems like yesterday...

Dean, my sister Sabrina, my mom and I were in the kitchen and Dean had looked up and was ready to ask my mom for permission to marry me... when my sister blurts out to my mom they are already married... my mom looked at me like you probably are...
I had told Dean earlier lets not tell anyone but just have our best friends there and then when Dean got back from his year tour in Korea then we would tell people... Dean totally disagreed. He looks up at my mom and asks for her permission she basically told him as long as you take good care of my daughter which I know you will you have my permission. There is no one else I would pick for my daughter to marry then you.

Tiffany, my best friend flew all the way to Washington. It was her first time ever getting on a plane.. Thank you Tiff for being apart of our special day!! We love you!

We took Tiffany out the week she was with us and had a blast....

Our wedding day came around. (As most of you know Dean and I had a courthouse wedding and a big catholic church wedding a year later) Anywho, So we are all getting ready to go down to the courthouse... I was nervous as hell but anxious... We get there and the judge asks us to sign the marriage certificate and I screw up signing my own freaking name!! The name I had for 18 years I just now forgot how to spell it! Dean just signed his name perfectly and here I signed my name like I didn't know how to spell it! LOL

We have our little ceremony and my parents take us all out to lunch ... as we were walking back to the car from the restaurant my parents go looks like this will be the first time they sleep together but at least they now have our permission hahaha! RIGHT! Like we really needed that! haha

That night was the most happiest and saddest night of my like... I was now a married woman to the best guy I know but my husband was about to leave in 16 hours to Korea for a full year! But at least we knew no matter what we would have each other.

Close or apart we were still together at heart!

Our big wedding was May 25,2002... AND YOUR DAMN RIGHT WE CELEBRATE THAT ONE TOO!!

Shoot, a couple can't celebrate enough how much love has grown for one another.

I love you Dean!

I thank GOD everyday that we were able to reconnect with each other again and bless us with our beautiful family!

HAPPY 7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! I love you!!

2008-05-18T07:37:00.000-07:00

Happy anniversary, baby!

So far today I woke up and had my hubby singing in my ear....

"Do you know what today is? It's our anniversary......"

He truly is the best out there!

He is my everything!

Best friend, husband, father, and soulmate!

Tomorrow is.....

2008-05-17T12:29:00.000-07:00

Our 7th year anniversary!!! I still can't get over that it has been 7 years already!

Today is the actual day that we first started out 8 years ago as a couple! I'll never forget the day he walked off the plane. It was a special, hilarious moment! So, here it goes.....

8 years ago today, Dean got a flight out to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport... Seeing he was stationed at Ft.Lewis it was his first time ever coming to Seattle and I was there to greet him... His flight had arrived around 11pm. It was a Wednesday night and the FINAL episode of 90210 was on... Since it was about an hour drive (with traffic) to the airport from where I lived I left early and had missed it! errr luckily I taped that episode... But Dean is worth it! I had told my mom I was going with a friend to pick up Dean... I lied... I went all by myself!!! It was far and it was a school night and my mom was preggo with my little sister... So I knew if I told her the truth there was no way in hell she would have let me gone by myself!

So, I get to the airport nervous as hell! Back then you could meet your people at the gate... I sat in a seat where I would be the first person he saw when he got off the plane... but got so nervous I hide... He found me! He was so HOT!

I do have to explain this really quick... back in the day I was taller then Dean (he will never admit it) but I hit puberty first LOL.

When he walked over to me I was sitting down and I kept saying in my head OH SHIT I'M STILL TALLER THEN HIM!! I refused to walk next to him I either walked in front of him or behind him the whole way to baggage claim... well we get down to the car and he pulls me to him and says I know I didn't come all this way to not get a kiss. I then realized oh shit i'm worried for nothing he is mad taller then me! LOL he is 5'7 (on a good day) and I'm 5'2.... We kissed and the rest is history!!

Oh and he left my moms huge ass cell phone in the parking garage hahaha... Luckily he was able to get it the next day.

Oh wait... so we get in my car and he wants to drive I'm like ugh... you don't know where your going... that's when I found out my hubby is a total map nerd! He got us to my parents house without even asking me which way... and member GPS wasn't out like it is today back then LOL....

Tomorrow I'll have to tell you the story of our wedding day! :)

IRS Makes Mistake in Tax Rebate Checks

Thursday, May 15th 2008

WASHINGTON (AP) - Up to 350,000 households aren't getting the $300 per child owed them as part of their economic stimulus rebate payments, the Internal Revenue Service said Thursday.
The tax agency says taxpayer human error and computer glitches were responsible for the problem affecting a tiny percentage of the 130 million taxpayers expected to benefit from the refunds the government began sending out last month.
IRS spokesman Terry Lemons said the agency was confident it had identified all the people affected by the mistake. He said the IRS will send letters to those who missed out on the refund and that checks for the child credit will be mailed out in July. People need not contact the IRS or file additional paperwork, he said.
The rebates, the centerpiece of the government's $168 billion plan to revive the faltering economy, provide up to $600 for an individual and $1,200 for married couples, based on income levels. In addition, people are entitled to $300 for eligible children younger than 17.
He said the problem on the child payments was traced to taxpayers failing to check a box on their paper tax returns and to two computer software systems, less than 1 percent of those in use, that weren't capturing the information needed to trigger the payment.
The IRS has already refunded some $27 billion to about 30 million taxpayers. It expects to hit 130 million refunds by the end of June, with the last checks - except for those who requested extensions in filing their returns and a few other exceptions - going out in July.

What to do....

2008-05-16T14:09:00.000-07:00

There is nothing to do here! I'm telling you moving from a big city like Seattle to a country hick town like this is the worst! I'm so sick of being here! I think we all are. We always have no place to go on the weekends unless "its for a drive" which is nice cause its family time and all but still. UGH I just really wanna get the hell outta here! I know this is the ARMY life and I just have to deal with it where ever he goes I go.... But sheesh I wish we could have gotten a better place then hell!! Seriously!

We still don't really know what we are going to do for our Anniversary! If we were in Washington, Dean probably would have set up something nice and sweet for us to do. But being here there is really nothing to do unless you love country music... It's fine by me but not Dean. And we aren't the club goers. So really it's a lose lose situation being out here.... The only thing I love about being here is our house we bought other then that forget it. I can always find another house somewhere else LOL.

I think I'm just really having one of those days where I'm sick and tired of being in HELL!

Started getting back into making graphics and cute stuff...

My Life in a Nutshell!!

2008-05-16T07:16:00.000-07:00

So, I had a blogger account last year and can't figure out my email addy I used for it seeing it's been a while. So, I have decided to start fresh! And boy oh boy do I have tons to blog about!!! So, get ready and be prepared to read a whole lotta nothin well its something to me :)

As for me I'm a mom of 2 beautiful kids!! My daughter Leilani and son AJ. And a mom to our Boston terrier who is just like one of our kids we couldn't ask for a better lazy ass dog. I've been married 7 years this Sunday!! whoohoooo May 18th if you haven't marked your calender or sent off the anniversary cards and presents.... hahaha.

I've known my hubby since I was 6 years old and he was 7! It's been amazing to be with the love of my life I've always known I loved him but to be married to him is nothing I could have ever imagined! He made that dream come true for me 7 years ago, Sunday. He is not only my hero or the kids hero he should be the worlds hero for being in the ARMY! As well as anyone in the service should be! Dean and I have come along way since then. We have only grown stronger as a couple, family, and parents.

Today we still look back and picture ourselves playing house when we were 6 and 7 laying next to each other on a bed cuddling because I was the mom and he was the dad.... Only to get caught by his mother!! HAHA Fun times!

Without him and our kids my life would be nothing!
