Happy 10th Birthday, "little missy".... :)

Thought for the day:

Mean people suck....


And for your viewing pleasure....

Us riding the Tower of Terror at California Adventure. I am the one holding on for dear life screaming! What this picture doesn't show is Jake hitting me and telling me to be quiet. That is why his ears are covered, I guess I was too loud. I have such sweet kids, don't I?!

I have nothing exciting to say (actually, do I ever?) Lot's of things going on, but so many that I don't feel would be appropriate to post...afraid I might end like Dooce.com and lose my job. But here is what is going on with me....I wake up and get to work by 6:45am, work my tail off and leave about 5:35 pm, sometimes, I eat lunch, sometimes not. Get home usually about 6:00 ish, start dinner and homework and clean the kitchen... Fight with the kids to take their showers, fight with the kids to go to bed...Read to or listen to Jake read for 1/2 hour (for school). Fall asleep, exhausted on the couch, oh, about 9:00 ish. Wake up the next day & repeat. Sound like fun??? Yes, I think it is fun too.

Love this photo of Riley's cheer squad from Vegas. Riley is up in the middle hamming it up to Glamorous by Fergie. Love all the different expresions the girls have!

From cutesy girls to boys... this is Tanner and his friends out in Temecula for his 13th b-day. They had airsoft wars and paint ball wars out at my Mom & Larry's....They had fun.... don't they look crazy??? ;)

I don't know why this scanned so crooked. It isn't that way in RL. I scrapbooked again this past weekend....3 whole pages! I used a ton of stuff that has been sitting around for years...that felt good.

Any way- just a picture that I have had for 3 years....finally scrapping it. :)

It has been a heck of a few days....why does raising children (teenagers in particular) have to be so darn hard? If he is this difficult now, how will I deal when he is in HS????

What happened to this little boy that I see below...my sweet, caring, little boy....?
