Just The 6 Of Us

1. How’s your tolerance for alcohol? I am not much of a drinker, I have maybe 1 or 2 drinks if I go to dinner or out with my friends. So I would probably say I don’t have a tolerance for lots of alcohol.

2. How’s your tolerance for noisy neighbors? None! Seriously I have no tolerance for my neighbor. They leave us alone and we leave them alone, they hardly even look over to our direction if we are outside.

3. How’s your tolerance for physical pain? I have a very high pain tolerance. I delivered 2 of my children with no pain medication (by choice).

4. How’s your tolerance for intolerant people? I don’t like it naturally but if I can I don’t surround myself with those kinds of people. It seems to me intolerant people are always on the edge. Like they are just waiting to blow at any given moment.

5. How’s your tolerance for bad music? It’s pretty high. Since having children in different age groups, the music in the car and at home has a wide range. I grin and bear it

There is something about a great pair of new Levis, and awesome graphic tee and some new slick looking Nikes that make the 1st day worth while! I have to say Noah looked fantastic walking out the door this morning! The 1st day of 6th grade, oh joy! I remember 6th grade well (Mrs.Dunn). Let me tell you the list of school supplies for him included a graphic calculator, holy smokes, that means lots of Math that is going to make our heads hurt. He was prepared, back pack and lunch box full of goodies. I know he will have an amazing first day!

Our summer has been filled with lots of fun activities and family! Although, through most of August I was battling Lyme Disease, but it only got me down for maybe 3 days. Moms don’t get a break especially with 4 kids.

This summer we went to the carnival, where I forgot my camera and wasn’t able to capture Adam riding his first ride. But Maia was so thrilled to be the one to ride it with him. She said, “I will remember forever, I took him on his first ever ride!”

We swam in our pool almost every day (when it wasn’t raining) and I have to say I am loving my tan. Dale and I also have been trying to eat and get healthier. He has slimed down so much and is HAWT! And I have managed to loose about 23lbs and him about 25lbs!

Elise, the kids and I hit the beach alot! The sand and the sun, no better way to relax the day away. Here are some great shots of the kids and the horses that live at our local beach!

My father had a family picnic that was fantastic. This is the last year for his pool, he will be taking it down. We are sad, but we have so many memories that will stay with us forever!

One morning I walked outside to discover we have a not so little friend living under one of our garages. He/she is so ugly, it’s cute.

Elias starts school 9/8 and he is less than excited, I am hoping his open house on the 3rd will make it more exciting. Adam who does not start until next September has already informed me the he will not be going to school. HA! Poor thing if only it were that easy. Adam doesn’t know it yet, be he and I will be having some schooling right here at the dinning room table a couple days a week! And we will be going to the library for story time, so he can get used to being around other kids. He will not be happy I can assure you

Last year I wrote a blog post about my birthday and how I will cry if I want too, this year there are no tears just pure happiness! I am 38 this year, wow time has just flown on by. Where have all those years gone?

I am truly blessed with so many friends and family, I just don’t even know where to begin to thank them all for playing such a special part in my life!

I woke up this morning, to several text messages, emails, message board posts, phone calls and Facebook birthday wishes I was a little overwhelmed. But the love I could feel was even stronger.

Thank you all so much for remembering me today, it truly means a lot. Today I will spend it with my kids and a special friend. Michelle, who came over last year on my birthday, sure knows how to make me feel special.

It was funny because I was doing a scrapbook layout of the 80’s and it just reminded of how truly amazing it is that I was a part of that. I mean 38 isn’t old, really, but to look back onto all the times and memories of my childhood, does make you feel a little old. LOL!

I share my birthday with my friends Erin’s Anniversary, so Erin you and Nick have a Fabulous day! I am thinking of you guys and wish I was in WV. to celebrate with you!

What a Fabulous day I am having! WOOT WOOT!

I have not updated my blog since July 23rd. Shame on me. Things here have been very busy lately and I am finding myself tired most days. I have pictures to share and stories to tell, as soon as I get the photos off my camera I will be posting away. I just have to find my camera batteries. I do believe one of the boys may have stole 2 of them to use in the wireless controller for the XBox 360. BOYS!
