Happy HALLOWEEN!!!!!

OK, so I have been busy and partly lazy and have not blogged in a while. Mostly its because I have been busy. This time of year always tends to speed things up. The kids are in the full swing of school. The younger 2 are more and more active. Hubby has been working a lot. He has finally slowed down on his traveling, thank goodness. We have spent a lot of time as a family together. I have also managed to get out some. This last weekend we had a girls day and a bunch of us went to the wineries in Augusta. We had a wonderful time and next year decided that we are going to rent a limo and go in style so that we can all drink and not have to worry about a designated driver. It was Alesia, Christy, Kelly, Kathy and myself. We had a wonderful time and took several pics. Hubby has been workin some on the weekends so he was gone on Sunday. He also had a Schottish Rite Reunion the weekend before. I have to say, my hubby looks awesome in a tux. I think its awesome to see them all in a tux. I have not seen the pics from the reunion yet but it was strange for hubby. First time at a reunion without my grandpa. My dad did not go but my uncle was there. He is not as active as my family is, but he has been trying to do some here and there.
As far as the World Series goes... BLAH to the Astros beating my Cardinals. Hubby of course was rooting for the Astros and was THRILLED when they beat out my Cardinals. Though it looks like the Astros are going to have their asses handed to them on a platter. They managed to put a good fight last night. But still failed.
The Rams are sucking too, but I am not too stressed, just happy to have football back. The Monday night football game was pretty good. Poor Jets lost.. gotta love New York :o) Well, that is all I have time for now. Gotta make dinner for the rugrats. Hope all is well with everyone else...
Oh, one last lil tidbit. I am going to FL in Feb.!!! My girlfriend Laura lives down there and I have decided that I want a vacation. So I am going to head to FL to see her... ALL BY MYSELF!!! Nothing better than a vacation by myself :o) I am really excited about seeing her! Just for a weekend... but that is better than nothing!! OK, now I am outtie!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PRINCESS!!!!!

Also, GOOOOO CARDINALS!!!!!

Last night was a lot of fun. My grandma wanted hot dogs. So we brought hotdogs to her for her birthday. My parents, us, and my uncle, Michelle and Nayah were there last night. I could not get a hold of my other aunt. I could not find her number (oh, darn) I did look, did make a few calls to find out of anyone had it and no one seemed to know it... so guess it was just the way it was supposed to be, which works out fine for me. I do not think my grandma minded either since that aunt has been driving her nuts. We got her a Thomas Kincaide print of a lighthouse. She loves lighthouses and Thomas Kincaide so it was a perfect gift for her and she loves it. We also brought Titan over to see her, which she just LOVED. She absolutely loves him and wishes she could handle one. So instead we bring him over to visit her when we can :o)
My other aunt had a thyroid gland taken out of her throat yesterday so she was not able to make it since shes in the hospital. She pulled through her surgery just fine. Its normally an easy procedure but the doctors wanted to keep my aunt overnight just in case. She seems to be doing good so hopefully she will be out soon. We also talked to my mother in law to wish her a happy birthday. I have not mailed her card yet but will get to that soon.
Here is a pic of hubby and I on Beale St too. It was on my camera and did not get uploaded so I thought I would add it. :o) I still have a bunch of pics that need to be uploaded, just have not gotten to it.
Oh and CONGRATS TO THE CARDINALS FOR MAKIN IT TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!! NOW, to go all the freakin way and WIN the World Series and NOT bomb like we did last year... that I really do not want to talk about. As for the Rams... How I love them and hope that their year gets better. I am sure they will figure it out and will turn it around soon. The loss to NY sucked ( love new yorkers) At least that is my hope for them :o) I have not really followed hockey yet, but will get to it eventually. Right now its all about football and baseball. Ok, I am done for now...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL GRANDMA AND TO MY MOTHER IN LAW!!!!!!

WOW, what a few weeks its been. Seems that we are always busy and always on the go. Hubby got home around midnight on Friday. We spent the day as a family on Saturday. Then on Sunday I went to a friends house and started on my Christmas cards, managed to finish 10, yeah I know Christmas cards already... but hey I have about 70-80 to make so the sooner I get started the better off I am. :o) The first 10 turned out awesome and I love them. Hubby had a Scottish Rite rehearsal for a reunion that is coming up so my dad watched the kids for us. They had a blast over there. We also had dinner with them. I also got another 150 pics printed!!! I think I have all the ones I want for scrapbooking our Memphis trip. I will have to do a whole album just on our trip. But it will be worth it!!
We are going to my grandmas tomorrow night for her birthday. It should be awesome to go over there and spend her birthday with her. It will also be bittersweet since my grandpa will not be there. She got me a birthday present and in the card I started to cry, for the first time in my life, it was just signed Grandma. No grandpa in there. Which really got to me. Its been 6 months and I still have my moments where I just want to call and talk to him, to talk about the baseball game to just chat with like we used to. It is really very tough not being able to talk to him like I used to be able to. Last year they called and left a message, my grandpa sang Happy Birthday to me and remembering that also was a heart wrenching thing. Anyways, here I am rattling on about my birthday when it was my grandmas I had started out talkin about.
Ok, I am off for now. Hope all is well with everyone else. For those of you that I know read this... LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! Hey Pea.... MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :o) Oh and to you know who... your not as tuff as you think you are!!! :o)
