My Birthday!

It's that time of the year again. You know when my age gets bumped up plus one! This year it was to 35 years.








That means still younger then some. ;-) The kids & Heidi celebrated my birthday on Sunday. She ended up making lasagna and a strawberry cake. It was all very good. They all got me some really nice cards also.
Got to color eggs with the kids and boy did they love that!


On Monday my actual birthday some of my family... Aunt Marty & Uncle Don, BJ & Alea, Tamara & Sam, Wesley, Alexis, Taylor took me bowling and then back to Tamara's house for pizza & cake! It was very nice.




At bowling I came in second next to Tamara which she took a photo of the score I think as a reminder in the future!!! I figured Uncle Don would kick are butt though. I'm sure next time. After cake I opened my gifts and cards. I have to say they were very thoughtful. I enjoyed them all. Thanks everyone!!! Made my day!

Happy Birthday Wesley!

Just a quick post to say Happy 12th Birthday to my little cousin Wesley. I was wanting to say it's been such a awesome blessing getting to know him since they moved here and just "5 houses down" as somebody puts it! :-) I must say we have had lots of fun times with Wesley so far and I love seeing him grow up.


He is a wonderful young man. Looking forward to many more great times. Love You Wesley!

Tornado?

After deciding not to goto Gym on Monday morning I hear a strong storm outside while laying in bed. A few minutes after the storm I get a phone call from my cousin Tamara which just lives "5 houses down" as she says. She tells me they had firetrucks in front of there house and something was going on.





I then come to find out the house right next to them had very bad damage to it. The garage was basically gone and the roof of the house was mainly gone! To me it looked like a tornado had reach down and picked out their house for some reason. It was a unbelievable sight I had not seen since the tornado of 1986. The good thing is that are neighbors were unharmed thank God!






As for Tamara's house it had some damage also. Two of her ridge vents were ripped off. After getting one down the street. Sam, Wes and myself nailed them back in place and also a few shingles so the rain would not come in. On down our street things were crazy. Power, telephone and cable lines were down. As for some trees broke and uprooted. In all everyone was safe and as for the clean up it was good exercise for all.

Kids Jumping Around

It's been a fun weekend having my little cousins Alexis & Taylor over for the weekend. Last night they were running crazy and jumping all around. They made a pile of stuff in the upstairs living room and was jumping on each other on it! Look like fun. I wrestled them for awhile on the floor just flipping them around. Boy do they love that. It's like one big smack down. Good times is all I can say!

Beautifing Nails

Sarah, Alexis and Taylor was wanting their finger nails painted. So today I decided to do just that. It's so cute how they each pick different colors they want to have put on.


Then Taylor wanted me to use two different ones together. I said sure. I'm not a pro at it but I can get it done and make them look good! They love it and I love that they love it. Hopefully this time putting on two nice coats will help it stay on better.

Sleepover.....But we're still up?

Let the fun begin! My little cousins are spending the night tonight. My BFF Alexis and Taylor. Okay real quick...The girls are laughing because we are watching A Christmas Story and they just seen the kid Flick stick his tongue to the flag pole. Lol Great movie! We also watched Twilight Eclipse and I must say it was just okay. Couldn't really get into it but I watched it with them. Tommy fell asleep on us all.





To start the evening of though we made homemade pizza or half homemade I must say. Since I used ready made pizza dough! Had to cause the kids were starving as they put it! But next time we will make the dough cause I know Alexis was wanting to but also was ready to eat! I'm just glad they liked them.





After pizza I made them wait a little and then cut some watermelon up for them. Boy did they all like that. Sarah really was enjoying it! Well it's 2:42 and I guess I should get this posted and think about getting to bed sometime.





Girls are just watching the movie an play on the iPad and iPod touch. Kids are so spoiled these days.

What!!!.... No More SkyLine!

I've been sad since hearing the news about Skyline closing down in Heath. My kids will be heart broken also. Gonna miss the 3 Ways! Okay the Coney Dog also. I loved going out there with my family and just having a fun time.


The oyster crackers... Boy do I love those. Taking them and tossing them in air and catching them in my mouth. The kids really enjoy seeing that. Yep.... Cheap Entertainment...even for me! Well we had one last meal at that location with some family.


As always it was a great time. On the upside we can still get a 3 Way & Coney fix at the Grill Works Deli we hear. Guess will be heading down there next. See Ya Skyline!!!
