Trick or Treat

We were lucky enough to get Andrew this year for Trick or Treat, we went over to Gregg and Sherrys and went out with Corey and Jake, 1st stop was the Weavers. Andrew did really good and we enjoyed having him, but we only lasted about 1/2 of the time and then we headed back.

Andrew's halloween party

Andrew had a Halloween costume parade and party at his school, Ryan and I were fortunate that we got to go this year, it was fun to see all the kids dressed up. There was even on boy dressed as a girl and we had to take a second look.

pumpkin carving

We went out to Ryan and Niki's to carve pumpkins this year. It was very cold but lots of fun.

It's a pirate party

Andrew's birthday was pirate themed this year, we got out the bounce house and trampoline, the kids had fun jumping back and forth between the too. We even add a fountain of pirates Blood (tropical punch koolaid) and it was a big hit.

WHO DEY!

Well the Bengals not so good season gave us the advantage to actually be able to afford tickets to a game. We were like 7 rows from the top of the stadium, but it was fun. What we didn't realize was all the damage that was being done by the heavy winds.

BECKY'S SHOWER

Today we had Beckys shower at our house, it was really nice to see all the girls and we had alot of fun catching up and gettin pampered at the salon.

balloons

I was coming home one day and saw this hot air ballon in our neighborhood I thought it was going to land on a house.

bugs, bugs, bugs

So Andrew was on a misson to see how many catapillars we could find last weekend. he was kind of funny, he would find them and them get them on a stick and then put them on the tree so they would be safe. We ended up putting 8 of them in his bug cage and he took them home with him.

PROM

Last weekend I chaporoned prom with Amie, we had a good time. I even had to help bust up a fight.

MARCH OF DIMES

Ryan, Andrew and I recently took part in the walk for babies for the March of Dimes. The boys had to get up really early, but they did it and I was so excited that they joined because this is something that I try to to do every year that i love to do. Andrew walked the entire 3 miles and never complained once. We go to go through the Bengals stadium and it was a wonderful day weather wise. Then when we go home we went and got Andrew a new soccer ball and between walking and playing with the new soccer ball Andrew was wore out, so was daddy.

Easter

We recently celebrated easter, we colored eggs and had easter dinner on Sunday, my dad, brother and Kaleb came over.

SHERRY'S PARTY

I haven't blogged in a while so i guess i am playing catch up.

We went to Sherry Weaver's 40th birthday and it was a lot of fun. Ryan even got to help with the flash back to the 80's. Ryan was feeling a little under the weather so after the party we went back to our room and ordered Pizza. The best part for me was the next day when I didn't have to wake up at 6:00 to let the dogs out.

THE KILLER DOG!

So here is a funny little story, last night around 9:00 Ryan came to me very concerned that Timber(our big dog) had rabbies and was going to go crazy. He went out to get her in and she had slobber hanging from her mouth, When I got down there it was gone, we trie to get her in but she just wouldn't budge, I went on to bed and left Ryan to try and get COJO in. As i was in a deep deep sleep I awoke to Ryan standing over me rubbing my back, (he was trying to do a good gesture by rubbing my back, but I was in such a sleep that i startled me) So as i awoke, Ryan looked at me with the most serious face and said "something is wrong really wrong, Timber is in the neighbors yard and I think she may have ate their dog, I heard a yelp and went to get her and she was walking up from their patio". So Ryan is supposed to be the calm one out of the two of us, but lets just say he was kind of freaking out. So I get out of bed and try to gather my thoughts, my heart was racing a hunderd miles a minute becasue I wasn't quite comprehending anything yet(I think i was still asleep)so i started to feel lightheaded and thought i was going to pass out, The whole time Ryan is trying to find a flash light and asking me where one was. as I stood on the deck trying to get her in Ryan stood inside and informed me that if she came through the fence that I should run back in the house. We fiannaly found a make shaft flash light, Ryan went out to check out the situation and we found her not foaming from the mouth, Ryan lifted the fence and she came back over and about 45 minutes later came in the house. There was no dead dog in the neighbors yard, and Timber seemed ok this morning, she is just panting alot so we are going to watch her. I think we may have to take her to the vet and have her medicated she has not been right since we had Chloe put down(RIP) so I am hoping that they have Anti-depresants for dogs.

just a little update for the week of 1/28/08

I weighed in again today and I am still the biggest loser by percentage in the office weight loss goal. I lost another 2.4 pounds this week so I am very excited. I have even started workout classes after work, I bring in my tapes and we go in the conference room and whoever stays after with me we workout, everyone seems to be getting involved here at work so it has been nice. Only 4 more pounds to 10 and i get my pedicure.

Andrew is coming in this weekend, he called Ryan last night to ask if he could come in. Last weekend we finally took him out to get his Christmas present from the money my mom and dad gave him, he got a PSP (play station portable) we had to put some ( a lot) of money towards it and Andrew has to help clean his playroom out to work it off. He has been playing it every night that he has called his dad. The nice thing about it is that you can buy movies for it as well.

I had an ok month in January for Tastefully simple, I was supposed to have 7 parties but ended up with 2 everyone else rescheduled. I have a party tonight and one on the 10th but that is it for this month. The Spring and Summer stuff comes out in March so that will be fun.

My new years resolution was to want less, so pretty much to quit the spending of stuff I don’t need, I had a relapse this week so I am hoping to get back on track next week. I was doing so good.

Hope that everyone is doing good.

LIVING LIKE A ROCK STAR & HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!!

>
So tonight the 12th of January we went out to dinner at mine and Ryan's favorite place for his birthday. It was very special because we all got dressed up and Andrew and Shaun went with us. Shaun just got back to Ohio today so it was nice to have him join us. I had a big surprise for Andrew and got a Limo to take us there and bring us home, he thought it was really cool and him and Uncle Shaun had lots of fun acting like "Rock Stars". I was the one with the surprise but much to our surprise when the bill came for dinner it had already been taken care of. Thanks Mama and Papa Sox, We love you and miss you!!!!!! All in all it was a great night and we all had a lot of fun.
