Holy Cow!!!

Ha ha ha I guess you could say I forgot that I had a blog page!! lol I received an e-mail from PJ last night, so I got on her blog and low-and-behold there was my name!! Wow am I losing it or what?! So I think it is time for an update!!!

We have had a few holiday celebrations since my last blog. Everything has been going ok. Caitlyn turned 11 years old on November 17th. Collyn turned 6 years old on February 24th. And Rilyn will be turning 8 years old on March 29th. Yes my babies are getting big, growing very fast!!

We have had our issues, that's for sure, but we have made our way threw all of them!!!

Dallas and I are still doing great together!! The kids (all 6 if them) are getting a little anxious and constantly asking when we are getting married. He currently is working for a friend in Roswell, NM, but travels between a few other places hauling cattle. Does a variety of work(ranching stuff). He loves being in NM and TX areas!!! I am currently a full-time student at EAC and work weekends at a hotel in Safford. So when I am not doing those two things, I try to spend as much time with my kids as possible!! We usually hang out at home but still it's time together and works for us!

Easter is approaching and the kids are ready to go to the lake!! We (if I get the weekend off) will be celebrating Rilyn's birthday while camping. Needless to say, the boy is excited!!!! We all are ready for a good camping trip, given that our last camping trip was almost 2 years ago!!

Well stay tuned for picture updates and general updates later..

HeHeHe!!!!

So we are now at the end of my birth month and it is a miserable hot and humid summer. We have done many things during the summer and a lot of nothing as well. I know I am ready for my peeps to go back to school and for Collyn to start his Kindergarten year. YAY!!! Yet nervous for his transition in a new school and environment. At least he will have 2 older siblings to help watch over him. All 3 are very protective of one another. Caitlyn danced last night at the 24th of July celebration here in Pima. We stayed to watch the fireworks shortly after. That was nice cause PJ and family moved back to Safford so we got to hang out with them, which was nice. My birthday is sneaking up on me quickly, which is strange cause it doesn't seem like it is any where near. By time I post again I will be 30 and flirty (not much different I guess). Other than that things are about the same, average days.

Vegas Trip!

Ok, so 1 week after my TX trip I flew (no driving! I had enough!) to Las Vegas, NV. It originally was a mom and (3)daughters trip. But as time went by it the amount of people grew, it became a trip with Shauna, myself, PJ, Mom, Morgie, Shelly and Raylene. Which was still all girls and family so it was still fun! Shelly, Raylene, Morgie and Mom all shared a room and Shauna, PJ and I shared another on a different floor. We did lots of walking and not enough partying. I know you go to Vegas to party, but I had never been so I was more wanting to see around then drink. It was nice to have an adult trip and NONE of us had to worry about kids the whole time. But we with young children were ready to get back to them after it was over. I am not wanting to travel for a few months after all that I did within a 3 week period. All very worth it though!!

Wow!

So the whole round trip to TX was so much fun! I had the opportunity to see alot of georgous land and homes! I am ready to "pack 'em up and move 'em out!"(Strawberry Shortcake quote) We left Safford, AZ on Thursday the 28th around 3 p.m. and arrived in Huntsville, TX on Friday the 29th around 6 a.m. We left Huntsville, TX on Sunday the 1st of June and just has a sight seeing road trip detouring threw a bunch of small towns on our way to see the McClain's in San Angelo, TX. Our whole Sunday was driving which was fun we played strip i spy, yes I lost!! ;) We stayed with the McClain's until Wednesday the 4th. We headed back to Safford sight seeing the rest of the way. We detoured threw Ozona, TX which is where a part of the movie "Gone With The Wind" was filmed in one of the homes downtown. It's a stairway sceen(Iwouldn't know, I have never seen it). It was so much fun in TX. JudyRae and the kids gave us a quick tour of San Angelo and their fun stores. We got to tour an old "whore house"(they have a not so blunt name i just don't know how to spell it) called Miss Hattie's. i started to miss my babies horribly by the 2nd day we were and I think it is because I knew they were 2 states away and I couldn't just hop in my car to see them a few blocks away. :(

Yay!

So I was told today that we older 3 sisters and our mother are going on a Vegas vacation without men or kids!!! I am so excited for a few reasons! One being that I have NEVER been to Vegas, ever! The other being I am just excited to do adult stuff in anywhere but here, Safford, AZ. I am also excited because my fiance' and I are going to drive to Huntsville, Texas with his brother and sister-in-law to his neices graduation. So that is also gonna be my first time in TX. Getting to see lots of new territory will be fun for me and not having to drive makes it all that much more enjoyable! YAY!!! Lots of fun stuff for me in the next few weeks going on! Not to mention my coming up wedding!! :) So in the mean time I am going crazy with the end of the school year programs for my kids that I can't remember what I have or have not done! I will be sharing the kids with their father every two weeks for summer break so that will be a nice break for me as well as the kids!

Getting Started!

Yes I have joined the rest of you and started my own blog to help everyone that I know and love keep up with me cause I am hard to get ahold of some days. Caitlyn is now 10 and in the 4th grade and a smart, talented and talkative, beautiful little girl. Rilyn is 7 and in the 1st grade and very smart, loveable and an adorable little boy and taking after his cousin Ryker as a natural athlete. Collyn is now 5 and in preschool and a very creative, loving and adorable little boy that is very active and loves his momma. I am almost 30 and not sure how I feel about that. And no I am not scared to tell anyone how old I am or how much I weigh(not that type of girl, lol). My children are my whole world and keep me very busy. When they are at their dad's for a weekend, every other two weeks, I usually spend my time with my family and friends. I am also staying with my Grandpa Norton in Pima and I take care of him, my dad and my Uncle Eldon as well as my kids and self. Yeah busy little beaver I am, lol! We have 2 Chihuahua's O.J. is 2 and Cupcake is 1. They are fun but loud and annoying at most times. So i am going to need help figuring this stuff out and will be back asap. Love you all! Muah!
