Wordful Wednesday..............

One of my absolute favorite pics of my three kiddos was taken earlier this year while we were vacationing in Bayeux, France. As we were driving thru the countryside we kept seeing fields and fields of these yellow flowers. A sea of yellow every where. We pulled off the main road and stopped in a field and started taking pictures. Here are few snap shots we got that day and after we left Paris heading towards Normandy.




Here they are on the side of the road looking at cows. Gabe loved watching the cows.





Lastly, a pic of just a portion of our scenic drive.

In his own words....

Colin Powell eloquently expresses exactly how I think and feel.

Summary of our week........

It seems even though I spent so much time on the computer this week I never got around to posting. So here's a bulleted post of my week.
** Monday~ Noah was picked up from Carney Park early in the morning. He camped out with Jack and a few friends there the night before. Trent was off and we pretty much spent the day at home. Jason came over and hung out for a couple of hours.
** Noah had a doctor's appt. on Tuesday. He twisted his ankle at Jack's sleep over and I had Dr. Odell take a look at it. Turns out the x-ray did not show any damage so we ate a late lunch at the food court. Lesley stayed after school for Algebra tutoring.
** On Wednesday Gabe and I attended our Kindermusik class. He really enjoys the class. Afterward, we went to Baskin Robbins for a treat and had lunch at Subway with Trent. We had a scheduled conference with Noah's Social Studies teacher at noon. As we were on our way to the school my cell phone rang, it was the school nurse informing me that Noah was in her office sick. He had thrown up all over himself. I picked him up from the nurse's office and Trent met with Mr. Hood for the conference.
**Noah stayed home from school on Thursday and Friday. I also got my Navy Ball dress and other items I ordered online this week . I love my dress.
** I worked out and watched movies we rented. Tonight Lesley is at her homecoming dance. We ordered her dress from Macy's and she looked so beautiful in it. This is the first formal dance she's attended. She is growing up so fast....too fast. My little girl isn't little anymore:-}

Well my friends I'm off to watch the boys play the Wii.

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Change.........

I'm sending my absentee ballot off...alas if only my husband & I could see eye to eye :D. He's still undecided STILL... Maybe I can influence him though. A piece of boo-tay holds a lot of power ya know!! LOL Anyway this is all I've got to say about my vote and I proudly stand by it!!!

Wordless Wednesday....

Okay this isn't so wordless. =0) This picture was taken at the San Antonio Zoo when we recently visited in July.

My heart....

Happy Birthday honey!!! Even though you're a year older today I'll always be older & wiser by 15 months. :-D Can you believe we are in our mid-thirties??? Where has the time gone? I'm so grateful for all that you do and I couldn't be more prouder {that word looks funny to me} !! Wishing you a year filled with good health, joy, love, and renewed faith in God.

I Love you always,
Stephanie

This morning we woke up to no electricity and water. It appears the really bad thunder storm we had last night was to blame. Our landlord Mario came over and fixed the problem with in an hour. I slept in so it didn't affect me that much. The sore throat I had the other day has gotten worse and my head feels like exploding. I haven't had much energy today thus I've been resting my body most of the day. Hopefully I'll be back to my normal self so I can use the new elliptical trainer Trent bought on Wednesday. Well I'm off to the couch again to rest and watch the Sex in the City movie.

Ciao,

Happy Birthday sissy.........

Happy 29th Birthday Jennifer. You're the best...........at least most of the time when you aren't being a big brat and trying to get your way because you're the baby of the family!! LOL ;-D

I love you bella...bella.

Girls night out.....

Tonight my friends Kashia, Evangelina, Sue, Janet, and I went to see the movie Mamma Mia. It was a great movie and by the end of it we were singing along to all of the songs. Afterwards Janet, Sue, and I headed to Applebees for some drinks and a light dinner. We all agreed we need get out more often sans the kiddos. Most of us still have until 2010 here with the exception of Kashia who is moving to Germany in December. I wish she wasn't moving because she is such a joy to know. She is from Poland and makes the BEST beef stew I've ever had. I'm not a big consumer of beef, but let me tell you her cooking is amazing.

I am getting sick....I can feel it in my throat. Hopefully I'll get good sleep tonight.

Ciao
