Things to remember............

Mother Nature is amazing - these lil' guys are in a tree across the street ( in my bosses yard ) Kylee is loving that she gets to watch them grow. I think she's gonna be heartbroken when they fly away!

Just so cute that I thought I'd share =o)

My two youngest ran 24 miles after school in a 10 week time frame - on St. Patricks Day - they ran the last mile of their Shamrock Marathon finishing it on the boardwalk! Aren't they precious?

I love these two also - the way he looked at me here - he looked at me like this 15 years prior to that too!

Mmmm that kiss that kiss....hehehe

I love this picture! This was truly the TIME OF MY LIFE! JAMAICA MON =o) Greg n I renewed our wedding vows - 15 years! I can't believe it has been two years! We wanna plan another trip - it would be so much fun to get a group of friends to go! Start saving! Let's GO!

Okay - Summer will be here before I know it! Wednesday will be 4 weeks since my boss joined Weight Watchers! I didn't join the program - but I am following the program with her. I've been to the gym a few times - with our schedule it is hard to fit it in! But, I do bowl in a Monday night and Friday night league and that helps as I can count that as some form of exercise. We've gone to the gym on our lunchbreak once - if things weren't so busy at work, we'd be able to do it daily! I can't complain about business at work though - that is a good thing! We are usually slow this time of year...this year we are kicking @ss and probably more busy than our busy season!!!

I had a pair of goal jeans - that is what I am going by mainly - cause with going to the gym...you gain muscle and while you lose inches...the scale may not show as much in lbs. I've had a pair of jeans that I could SQUEEZE into but was not comfortable wearing.....I'm back in those in just 3 weeks! WAHOOO - I have one more goal pair - they are a pair I bought off of E-Bay and they never have fit - I've already seen a difference in being able to get them UP FARTHER - *LOL* when they it and button comfortably then I'll be where I wanna be again! * I THINK * All women know that we can never be totally happy with ourselves...there is always something we could improve on =o) I'm guessing that if I went by scale size alone - I'd need to lose maybe another 6-10 lbs to fit in that certain pair of jeans - that is IF the weight comes all right where I need it to! LOL - Ya right - but I AM on a mission baby!

I need to start walking and tone these cottage cheese thighs back up - blech - gotta love the body parts that you inherit from family! Thanks MOM - bahhahahaha

Kylee Grade 2

Ryan Grade 9

Ian Grade 3

Shame on me - I almost forgot about our 4th Child *smiles* Sir Toblerone - AKA - Toby
This is my lil' guy! He's totally a Momma's Boy - he greets me at the door every single day with the excitement appearing that he hasn't seen me in many days! He gets jealoust when I kiss Greg - he's so wonderful with the kids - not your typical Min pin - he was the last left in his litter! - SOMEONE MISSED OUT and picked the wrong puppy OR someone knew that our love would make him the perfect puppy - either way - we couldn't ask for a better lil' guy! So smart - cute and such a lover boy! Mwaaaaaaaa Tobes

My first born - my teenager! OY - Rye is and always has been a Mommy's boy ( heck, in his early years, Dad was gone at sea, ALOT!! Some lucky girl will appreciate that someday! Though he's MY BOY - he's JUST LIKE HIS FATHER! Always involved in projects...etc. He's a big time volunteer at the Youth Center on base - he was actually chosen as Youth of the Month for the base - awe - he's playing basketball right now and LOVING IT. ( tallest kid on the team ) As you can see by the picture...he's almost outgrown me...he's 15! Rye is a wonderful child - wouldn't trade him for a million other - he does have a teenagers back talking mouth ( we all did once, right?) For the most part - I know how truly lucky I am and how blessed ....If I ever doubted it...all I'd have to do was take a look around the neighborhood once to be reminded! I'm done bragging now =o)

A smile that melts my heart! Ian is definately the most compassionate, caring and sensative of all three of our children! The bluest eyes...the longest eyelashes and the dimples........I adore this lil' guy!

I love this picture =o) A Mommy's Princess

Kylee is our little girl who likes to do it all! She loves cheer, dance, soccer, baseball, basketball...etc! She's playing basketball right now...but I seriously need to get her in a really good cheer program!

THEY GROW WAY TOO FAST!

One more thing -

Heidi - I've been following your book status! Keep trying - it will all work out in the end - you have a talent in writing. The right person will come along! You know the popular saying ...."
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!!!"

I have faith in you.

DOH - I got lost today trying to find a property in Suffolk! LMAO -
So, I came back to work and will try to find it again on TUESDAY! =o)
I love my job - I love my boss - that helps!

I'm waiting to hear from the hospital to see when they schedule me.....yet again, frustrating but should be sometime within the next month or so =o)

My @ss really needs to get back to the gym - I am down about 10 lbs but would like to lose another 10lbs I think or maybe just tone majorly - my legs are OH SO GROSS-O - I can fit back into my Old Navy size 6 jeans but I'd prefer them to fit a tad bit looser =o)

I've been bowling in a league for the past few months and I LOVE IT! This week I get to bowl twice because someone wants me to sub for them - last week I was so disappointed in how I bowled - I didn't get my average ONE game out of THREE! The 3 weeks prior I had gotten a 200+ game every week - so I was a bit bummed! Can't do worse than last week so this coming week will have to be better, eh?

I'm rambling and I'm tired - I've been trying to update more lately!

Ang =o)

What a day this has been! I took the day off of work for two seperate appointments!
Thankfully my boss is fantastic =o)
I should have been out of the office today anyway - I'll make it up tomorrow though - I'll be heading out to the Williamsburg area I suppose. I've been putting that off until last but, I really need to get out there. It actually feels weird being home from work without the kiddos being here. Cheer ended for Kylee on Sunday and Basketball ended for Ian - soon we'll be starting T-Ball and Baseball - and Kylee back into another cheer group I hope. Rye is in a teen group and is going snowboarding/skiing this weekend - he's been looking very forward to that!
I'm starving right now but don't want to eat before my appointment! Crossing my fingers that all goes the way I want today! "X" I am gonna pig out afterwards if I'm able to eat =o)

Gregs Grandma has basically been told there is nothing they can do for her - she has something wrong with her lungs and the only fix is a transplant and she's too old to be a candidate for that. His Grandfather just passed away a couple weeks ago =o( so incredibly difficult. I loved my Grandparents tremendously but his Grandfather was like no other man that I have ever known!
I love his Grandmother just as much - married for 62 years - AMAZING that you could still see the love they had for each other even if they were across the room from each other. That is a gift not many people are given in life to be loved that way for so long -

Not much else to report - life is busy with work - kids and family time - then there is bowling and all the kids activities - not much time to squeeze anything else in there. Heck I don't even talk on the phone anymore - visit friends...etc. I miss that tons - guess that is where my last post was coming from - TO any of my friends who read this blog - KNOW that you aren't forgotten and I miss you terribly! Hugz

My little STUDENT OF THE MONTH for FEBRUARY!

This is a horrible picture of us both and it is several years old - but the picture of true FRIENDSHIP!
THough many miles have seperated us in the past 16 years
our friendship is as strong as ever. Sure she's met new friends that she hangs out with - that her son gets to grow up with instead of my kids. But, she's my best friend from

Junior High School and we share memories nobody can ever understand or take away from us.
When I visit WV - she's on the phone calling me often before
I can get hold of her! Though our lives are both busy - we both work
etc......she always makes time for me. I LOVE and MISS HER SO MUCH!

You have people in your life that you stick with through good and bad -
yep - we've had our share of disagreements over BOYS ( Jason Anderson ) LOL - we've gotten
on each others nerves because we were around each other TOO LONG - heck our parents never knew if we'd be coming home from school on a certain day but they knew if we did we'd have a sidekick =o) Hell even after I was married and would visit home - she'd come spend the night with me at my Moms house.
I have another friend from High School that I thought would always remain close - I haven't talked to her in ages -
I truly cherish my friends -
I dunno where this is coming from - I guess I just miss alot of my friends or the ones I THOUGHT were my forever friends - yes you can have more than one - yes you may have more in common with some at times than you do with others but think about when you have needed someone and remember the ones that were there for you and the ones that you'd do anything for!
LIFE IS SHORT - you don't know when tomorrow will have come and gone or there may not be a tomorrow. Don't let it be a regret that you didn't reach out and say I MISS YOU to someone - do it now.
