Allyson's wisdom

Some of the things that Allyson says I wonder where in the world she gets it from. This is what she tells me as we are horse playing around on the couch:
Her: Mom please don't torture me!
Me: What?
Her: Let me tell you what I'm talking about.
Me: OK
Her: Well the way you would torture me is like please don't stick scissors in my ears, that would be the worst torture.
Me: Have I ever stuck scissors in your ears? Or has anyone else stuck scissors in your ears?
Her: Well no, but that would be torture. I'm such a dork, Mom!

I swear I don't know where she comes up with these things, and I promise I have never stuck scissors in her ears for any type of torture or punishment! lol

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!!!!

I hope everyone reading this is having a wonderful Christmas with their families and that Santa was good to you!

New Car

Well we finally decided to trade in Steve's truck. He had only had the truck for about 6 months but with the transfer at work he was driving so much farther and with the truck we were putting in like $70-75 a week in gas so we went and got a Chrylsler Sebring. I'm really surprised how sporty and roomy this car is. This car is going to get 32 mile a gallon compared to his truck getting 19 miles a gallon, so we are hoping to really see a big difference at the gas tank! I will post pictures this weekend, he wants to clean it and make it all pretty before I take pictures!

Rambling

It has been cold here the past couple of days! We had to actually turn on our heat at night! The other night when Steve went to work he had to wear gloves and a hat to keep warm! This just doesn't happen too often here!

Well I had to go back to work this week after having two weeks off! It has been so hard to get back in the swing of things, I really enjoyed staying home and in my pj's until I was ready to get dressed! All this week Allyson has had to run to the bus stop when we hear the bus because we just can't seem to be on time this week! Oh well two more days and then she's she's on winter break!

I can't believe Christmas is just 5 days away! I just need to pick up one thing for my dad and then shopping is done. All presents are wrapped except for Allysons. This is a huge accomplishment for me, I'm usually the one wrapping the presents 20 mins before we are leaving. I still need to figure out what I'm making for Christmas dinner, the only thing I know for sure we are having is a fried turkey. So I guess I better start thinking about that.

Well sorry for the long ramble about nothing!

My Grades

Well I got my grades for the classes I took, and I'm pretty happy with them! I got all B's I don't think thats too bad for taking 3 classes working full time, and still being a good wife and mother! Starting in Jan I will be taking 4 classes and it will be during tax season so I better start learning to manage my time really good! I'm excited for the classes in Jan though because I will not have to drive almost a hour each way 3 days a week, I will be taking my classes at the Kissimmee campus and thats only like 30 mins away!

Second Try!

Ok, I thought I would be much better at this whole blogging thing, but it turns out I'm not! So I'm going to try again and try to be more active!
Well this week I finished up with school for a few weeks and I'm off from work and realized I have a LOT of time on my hands. I think today I will tackle some cleaning that I've been putting off.

Here are some pictures of our Christmas tree, this is the 1st year in the 8 years Steve and I have been together that we have a fake tree! It was very nice not to have to untangle and hang all those lights, however I do miss the smell of the real thing though!

I think our tree came out really pretty this year, we usually do all kinds of different ornaments but this year we went with red and gold and its so pretty!

I also took some pictures of Allyson for our Christmas cards and I think they came out really cute!

Some pictures

I can't believe that it is Friday all ready! This week went by very fast for me. We have a very early morning tomorrow for little league, but after this week, their is only one more week! I have enjoyed going to the ball fields on Saturday to watch the games. I do believe that Allyson is going to be my little athletic girl after all. She most definitely got that from her Daddy and not me! Anyone who knows me knows that I am the most un athletic person ever!

I got to have Mothers Day a few days early! I got home from work last night and she was so excited that she insisted on giving me my presents early. At school she made me the cutest flower plot that she drew on, with a picture of her on the flower and a cute card. She also got me a gift certificate to go get a pedicure done, so that is what I am doing tonight! My feet are so bad right now I am almost embarrassed to have the girl do it! I asked Allyson if this means I get more presents on Sunday and she told me no, but she will take me out to lunch! So that works for me.

Well I finally got the pictures of Devin's First Communion on the computer and hopefully it work with sharing them on here. If not I will have to ask Steve to show me how, I am computer challenged at times too! We are letting Allyson's bangs grow out and you can tell in the pictures that she looks so much older!

Busy Weekend!

Well I got around to putting up a pretty banner, but that's about it! I have some pictures I wanted to share but that will have to wait.

We had a very nice and busy weekend! Saturday Allyson was invited to a birthday party and she had a blast. They had a bounce house that all the kids loved playing in, got their face painted, ate pizza and played with all of her friends from school! Then we went home and went down to the pool for her to show off her swimming skills to me. She had swim lessons all last week in school and has gotten really good! By the end of the summer she will be a master at it. Sunday Steve had the day off so we got to spend the whole together! We went to the mall to window shop, had a good lunch at Long Horn, and went to Home Depot for some stuff for the yard. Allyson has been wanting to plant some flowers so we bought some and went home and planted them. I will post pictures later.

First Post

Well I have finally decided to start a blog of my own! I love reading everybody elses so I figured what the hay and start on for me and my family! I am at work right now so when I get home I will add some pictures to make it look all pretty. I am not quite sure what I will write about but I am sure I can find things! So there you have it my first post!
