WW - She's off

So this weekend while MFS and I went to Springfield to do a little Christmas shopping Michelle kept our kids. We brought Megans bike over so she had a bike to ride with the others when we put the bike on the porch Megan told me one her training wheels were lose I made an off hand comment that the last time we brought a bike with training wheels over I came back to a kid riding a 2-wheeler. We all laughed and while we were out we got these videos. My baby is not a baby anymore!





We are so proud of her thanks Michelle for teaching yet another one of my kids to ride a bike.

I'm joining for Wordful Wednesday read what others are saying as well.

Soldier's Angels

Hello all!

I'm copying this directly from That Officers Wife blog to help spread the word!


I just received this email from the Soldiers' Angels organization on how we can all help the families involved:

SOLDIERS' ANGELS STANDING BY FOR FT. HOOD--
We are collecting cards and NEW stuffed animals for the families and children of the fallen/wounded heroes.
Please send cards and stuffed animals/blankets/anything NEW that may brighten the life of a child to: Soldiers' Angels Warehouse

As you get excited about the holidays please remember the families of the fallen. This holiday season will surely be difficult one for them.

Our Family Just Got Bigger ...

And boy do I mean bigger! No ... No we aren't expecting but we did adopt but unlike my friend we arent adopting a baby. Meet Duke he's a 2 year old Great Dane puppy we adopted him from my friend who loves him dearly but just felt she was stretched to thin to continue to give him the attention he requires. When we found out she was looking for a good family for him to go I jumped at the chance to bring him home. We brought him home tonight and so far its been an interesting night, the kids are excited and I think maybe a little scared at the same time. Our little puppy and our big puppy arent loving each other yet but I am hoping in the next few days they will become the best of friends. Im sure the next few days will be interesting for us all.




Isn't he cute?

Beyonce Video - It's Back!

As you may remember I posted a couple videos of Beyonces' All the Single Ladies ... (they have since been removed from youtube cause I guess Beyonce didnt like people showing her up) but this was passed on to my by a friend and I had to share it!

Well it looks like youtube and Beyonce have struck again and yanked another cute video!


I've added a second video even funnier than the first ...

WW - Hinder & Saving Able

Every year our post hosts a concert this year was Hinder & Saving Able. I really liked both bands so before my favorite soldier even came home from Iraq I bought us tickets to go.

This year we were all supposed to meet at Michelle's house and then we would all go to the concert together well things didnt work out that way first I could find the shirt I wanted to wear then I found what I was looking for and we were out the door we got to post only to realize I didnt have my ID or my wallet so I didnt have any form of ID at all we had to turn around and go back home so I could get my ID. We get to the concert and were waiting for the gates to open and every year when they open the gates everyone makes a run for it to be the first to get the seats they want this year we decided to send our hubbies to run and get us seats BAD IDEA!! We were very close to the stage which was fantastic but so were about a million other people all pushing thier way to get closer. I was felt up, rubbed against, knocked down, oh yeah lets not forget about the beer that spilled all over me and all this was before the concert started I guess I am getting to old to be sitting trampled on in the front rows.

However being that close to stage I did manage to get some really good pictures!

GGGGRRRRR!!!!

OK seriously enough is enough ... I know I'm not the worlds best driver but come on Murphy cant you pick on someone else. First my car gets backed into by a friend no biggie not worried about it I hadn't had a fender bender in years figured it was bound to happen sooner or later .... fast forward 2 WEEKS yes you read that right 2 WEEKS and some lady pulls out and hits the back end of my car grrrr what a pain in the butt ... but come one I am on my way to get my kids from school and the car in front of me stops short I manage to stop in time to avoid hitting the car in front of me but the car behind kept on going and rammed right into the back of my RENTAL car yes I was driving around in a rental while my car was being fixed from the previous accident. So I am pretty sure I wont be driving anytime soon or maybe ever again (or atleast til hubby deploys again) because that's 3 accidents this summer. I just want to say GGGGRRRRRR!!!!!
