lazy day...

Take a look at you guys, just babies!!!!!!! I guess I was the one taking the picture, but I don't recall ever seeing one of these pictures with me in it...what's up with that?????? Anyway, I am not sure what year this picture was taken, but it is evident by the christmas tree in the background it must have been Christmas! LOL!!!
Here is the other picture I was going to put on the blog last night with Mom's picture but was too tired to find it and put it on. In mom's picture she might be a year older than I am in this one. I think I am either in the 1st grade or 2nd grade. What is the goofiness with my mouth, just kinda of notices it. Looks like I am an old woman missing my upper teeth!!!!! Moooommmmmmm, what am I doing that for!!!!! I crack myself up sometimes! Anyway, the pictures look sorta the same, same hair style, almost the same age. Vincent went to Clinton to shoot automatic weapons with a buddy of his, I spent most of the afternoon being lazy today. Trying to get geared up for work tomorrow. Might have to work til 4:30, get girls after I get off of work, have a eye doctor appointment to recheck my right eye on Tuesday at 4:00, church on Wednesday at 6:00, thursday FREE DAY, YAY!, Friday, have Dakota til 7:00 when Natasha gets off work, probably have to work Saturday and the week starts over again.....Guess I have better go and get ready for bed.

Good day....

Take a look at this sexy little girl!!!!!! This is none other than my beautiful mom. Take a look at those carver cheeks, teeheehee....I wish this picture was of better quality, but it is not unfortunately. But I still have the most beautiful mom in the world! Love ya mom!

Had a good day with Mom today. I worked this morning, then we went to Eleanor's Stamps and More and browzed and bought, and browzed and bought. We really should be using the "stuff" we buy instead of buying more. And we intend to do just that. Hopefully on one of the next couple of saturdays we are going to get together with about 8 of our friends and just "play"!!!!!! By the way, mom, add Ann Tankersley to that list! Cannot forget her... I cannot wait, although I am not sure I will get anything done, because I like to talk about it to much and see what everybody else is doing.

When we left there, we went and had lunch at Zaxby's in Powdersville and then met Vincent at Atlanta Bread Company at Cherrydale Plaza in Greenville for our favorite frozen treat, Kona Mocha Cafechillo with whipped cream please!!! Even bought Vincent one! After that Mom went on to Lowes to get paint to paint Dad's bathroom and Vincent and i went to Walmart got a few things, took the items home, went to Blockbuster in Greer to see if they had the DVD Eurotrip and then went to eat at Corona Mexican Restaurant. I had Beef Fahitas and I could not tell you want Vincent had but he ate it all and then some of mine, since I never can eat it all. Then we left and came home. I am tired now.

Think I will go and relax and then call it a night.....

Feeling better.....

I am feeling better right now. No aches and pains, but sinus drainage and cough, little headache. This first picture is of my Nickypoo in 2004 when the church went skiing and I went with them. Nick snowboarded, but I could not get to the slopes where they were at. The snow was beautiful though especially with the sun shining on it. We all had a good time. The other picture is of my sweet brother Wayne. I am not sure how old he was 2 or 3 maybe, but he sure was enjoying that sprinkler, lol!!!!!!!!! If I am remembering correctly, those are chicken coops at the top of the picture behind the lawn chairs. Am I right, Mom? Went with Allyssa to see the "Suessical" yesterday. Was feeling sooo bad, but I knew she would not understand if I said I was sick and could not go so I trudged on..... It was a really good musical, at times the kids were getting bored and restless, but for the most part they all did very well. They would not allow us to take pictures so I only got one picture of Allyssa and Destiny. Then was out of work today due to being sick. Well, I am getting hot and thirsty, so I am going to go get me a glass of ice water. Later....

Tired.....

These pics are from when we went to Texas Roadhouse for Dakota's birthday, (like she picked that place for us to eat!). After we ate of course, they brought out this piece of chocolate cake for her and sang happy birthday to her....do you think she was enjoying that cake???????? She had the time of her life!!! She had it all over her and the floor!

Tonight I am very tired. Worked til 3:30, got the girls, went home. This was one of those days that they both wanted to see just how far they could get doing things that they both know they should not be doing.....tried my patience more than once. Then Dakota got mad about something Allyssa was doing and went charging after hurt to hit her...yes that almost 17 month old was actually CHARGING after Allyssa and had her hands up in the air to hit her in the back. If I had not have been there she would have hit her. I don't remember any of the other kids learning to do that at that age or am I just not REMEMBERING IT!

Anyway, I am going to go get ready for bed. I am probably going to have to work the rest of the week until 4:30 and I thought I was tired today....yuck, yuck, yuck.....

Growing Up Too Fast!

This picture was taken of Asheton at her field day in April, 2003 I think that is the year). She is growing up way, way too fast. Still all into basketball, plays for Travelers Rest High School as well as her brother, Zach. They both run track for the high school as well. Seems like only yesterday they were babies and now mini-adults! Don't grow up too fast, enjoy your high school years....

My girls!

My girls....so beautiful, so precious, so different!!!!! I love this picture of Allyssa with her natural smile and silly dakota showing her belly....who does she get that from?!!!!!!! Had to work today, but then me and Mom went to the Open Book and had a high school friend of mine who is an author of children's books sign our copies of her book for Dakota and Allyssa. Then went to Taco Casa to eat lunch and then to A.C. Moore. Love that store.......wind is blowing something terrible today, but the sun is out and brightly shining, beautiful day. My intention when I came home this afternoon was to try to scrapbook a little bit, but as of now I have not gotten there. I had to upload my pics from my camera on the computer since I had about 150 of them. Then I got side-tracked.....adult attention deficit disorder, I think. So I am going to try to do some other things since I did not get started on the scrapbooking! I just noticed that the two pictures taken above are exactly 1 month apart! How weird!!!!!! L8tr!

Happy Birthday to Me!

As Iturned 47 years old today, I feel pretty good. I feel great that I am alive to celebrate another year. Hard to believe sometimes that I am 47. 47 years ago I was born. Cute pic I think! with my little curl on top of my head.

Today was a mellow day. Raining this morning, went to church. Vincent and I ate lunch with Mom, Dad, Alpha Brown (my second mom), Ann Tankersley (now my third mom), Terry Schultz at TR's Oriental. Came home, rested and layed around the rest of the day. Mom, Deborah, Natasha and Nick all called to wish me a happy birthday. Last night, Natasha, Randy, Allyssa, Dakota, Nick, Vincent and I went to Texas Roadhouse for my birthday. We had a good time.

Think I will go and see what I can find to nibble on. Not really hungry. Lunch was enough for me, but I want to nibble! Got to get read for work tomorrow.
