7 THINGS

Melissa tagged me so here goes.
7 random things about me.

1. I love to watch Baseball. I bleed Dodger Blue. I have watched the dodgers since I was a little girl, first at grandmas house then with my mom. When I was little I wanted to be the first woman to play for the Dodgers. Obviously that didn't work out, but I still play softball. I watch football with Stephen but I can't follow basketball.

2. I have two jobs. I am a mortgage loan officer, but I can't seem to get any loans, boo hoo. So I work part time for JetBlue airways, and I love it. I love the perks, but I hardly get to use them. So sad, I work for an airline but I never get to go anywhere. Been there a year and I've only been to burbank long beach and San Diego. sad sad sad!

3. I love comedy's. I love to laugh. Funny movies, and funny tv, I am there.

4. I am a big cryer with movies and tv. Something could be pointless, and somewhat sad, and I am blubbering. I was tearing up with the season premier of ER.

5. I love the Holidays!!!! I love the sounds, smells, and sights of Christmas. I look forward to baking for my friends, and spending time with family. Especially Tamale day. I love to decorate, and enjoy the reason for the season.

6. I get cold really easy. Ever since I lost all my weight I freeze. My hands, feet, nose, and top of my thighs. I have to bundle up come winter and don't unravel until May! I take a lot of HOT baths during the winter up here.

7. My biggest fear is losing my family. I worry about losing Jessie to outside forces, I can only hope and pray that I have taught her enough to be strong. I worry about Cammi being to nice and being taken advantage of. and I worry about Kaylie a young girl in a big girl body. I worry that they will have to go through some of the things I did when I was growing up, like the teenage years, mean people, and feeling like an outcast.

I tag Jill, Lisa, Cammie, and Brooke.

BUBBLE BUBBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE,

WITCHES BREW AND CAULDRONS BUBBLE

Haunted Hallows! Skeleton Bride!

Carving Pumpkins. eeeeuuuwww! Gross!

Getting ready for Halloween.

You can't really tell from the picture but we had cobwebs draped acrossed the entire entryway, with a smoking skull, and my skeleton bride. I am thoroughly enjoying getting into Halloween now!

Jessie went as a football player this year. She did pretty good too!

Cammi didn't decide until a few hours before trick or treating what she was going to be. So we opted to use her dress from Aly's wedding and go as the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio.

Kaylie has been telling me since last year that she wanted to be a Vampire. She never waivered. So nana made her this awesome vampire cape complete with bow tie and cumber bund. She was so excited to dress up and play the part.

I had to add this picture in! Barbara goes all out for Halloween. Last year she dressed up as Sally from Nightmare before Christmas, and it was awesome! It took me a few minuted before I even recognized her. This year she was classic!!! Quite literally! I love that she goes all out. She even made bloodshot eyeballs for our pre trick or treating party. We had so much fun!!!

October?!?!?!

Here I sit on the porch, it's two day until Halloween, and it's about 70*. Almost too hot, but wonderful! Too nice to be inside today. I say this because all too soon, (Next Monday) it's is supposed to get cold, rainy, and snowy in the mountains. uuuggghhh!!!!!

Well another week has ocme and gone. Cammi has two make up soccer games this saturday. at 9am and 1pm, no rest for the weary! Oh and some exciting news!!! Remember when I wrote how disappointed Jessie was that she didn't make allstars? Well out of hte blue last week, Kaylie's t-ball coach called me. She is co coaching an accelerated softball team and they wanted Jessie to come and try out. We are so excited. So she went to practice on Monday, after not having played since early June, and she actually did pretty good. She was right on with her hitting, but she needs a little work with fielding and throwing. The head coach asked me where I thought she was in comparison to where she should/could be. I thought she did pretty good considering it's been 4 months. He agrees, and wants her to come to another practice so they can look at her some more. She knows some of the girls on the team from softball and school, so that was nice. I told her that this was not me, this was another parent who had seen her play the season, and knows she is good, and requested that she come and try out. We are so excited for her to get this chance. So please keep her in your thoughts and prayers! She could really use it eight now. PS the coach commented that she was really good with her hitting!

So long Summer!

We were enjoying some of the few nice weather days before it really gets cold, so we were running the bikes out of gas. Well, it's all fun and games until someone looses an eye!! Poor Rich. His first ride on the little bike and he had to choose to either t bone the car or drop the bike. He chose the latter, and well the picture explains it all!!He ripped his pants and scuffed his arms a little bit, but he got right back on and tried it again. Jessie and Cammi were taking the little kids out for rides too on the Klugers 4 wheelers
.

What a day! The older girls and I went to the humanitarian center on Tuesday morning to do some service. A friend had called us and they needed help so we went. What an awesome experience! I figured the girls could miss a half day of school for service, and apparently the school felt the same way since they gave the girls an excused absence from their morning classes. Anyways, we got there about 8:15 and started right in. WE had about 9 people in our little group and we were doing hygeine kits. We started out checking kits already done to make sure they had everything in them, Then we got to put kits together, then back to checking, then back to creating. We filled two and a half pallets of boxes with kits. With 5 kits per box, we figured there were approx 600 kits per pallet, so our group in 3 hours did about 1500 kits. It was an incredible experience for us to go and not think about ourselves but to help other people. We are thinking of taking the mosers and doing a family thing and helping more. If you get the chance to go or to volunteer, DO IT!!!! It is so worth it!
