Almost October 2011

Well looks like I've been a BAD blogger this year, this year has zoomed by and I can't believe it's almost October.  It's been a roller coaster of a year with many happy times, many sad times and many busy busy times as well.  being that it's Fall time we are naturally knee deep in football season and drill team, our last home game is October 22nd and then competition is November 6th. I'm ready for a break and slower schedule.  

Juliana is doing awesome in 7th grade and loving band and starting cross country after drill team is over, but is training now and excited that she's already taken over a minute off of her mile time.  LOL!

Bella is kicking butt and taking names in 1st grade and loving it, she is taking GT classes and thriving exceptionally.  She is also in cheer and a true character, she keeps us on our toes.  we are constantly in stitches with her antics.  LOL!

Walt and I work and then do whatever the girls schedule asks us to do, we try to keep up and it's hard but we do it slowly but surely. 

Okay back to work, I'll try and do better and keep up a bit.

Here is the latest holiday hostess barbie, isn't she awesome:

2011 - the year of Barbie

Howdy ya'll!  It's been a while hasn't it?

I just downloaded our Christmas pictures this past weekend, I'm so slow this year so far.  I'm trying to take on the mantra of enjoy each and every moment and if stuff doesn't get done...oh well.  LOL! 

I'm also focusing a little more on me this year, which will include, eating healthier and exercising more (the usual) and also increasing my Barbie collection and just doing the Barbie thing more.  I think my girls enjoy it and like to tell people that i collect Barbies, so I'm unleashing my inner Barbie fetish and going for the gusto with my Barbie Collection.  LOL!  I'll have to take pictures of them all and start a Barbie blog next.  hee hee!  3 blogs to keep up with...that's a lot, huh?

Okay well enough of Barbie...for now...we are all good and working hard on the healthy side of life in our household.  Walt finally went and had his stress test done and says he feels better now that that is finished.  I think he was just very anxious about having heart problems or high blood pressure and the fact that his cholesterol was out the roof didn't help at all.  hes' on meds for that and we are changing the way we eat.  The only one suffering is Bella, she's hating the new eating lifestyle, she wants her chicken nuggets and french fries.  LOL! She'll survive though.  Juliana likes it and when its there and ready to eat, she'll eat it, but if she had to choose, she'll choose the junk food every time.  Nothing unusual there at all.

The girls are thriving at school and kicking butts and taking names and doing so well, I am so proud of them.

I guess that's it for now.  Here is the picture of my Thanksgiving Barbie I got at Thanksgiving time, one of a kind doll only available for purchase by Barbie Fan Club Members, (which I am).  WELL now you can get her on eBay...UGH!  Isn't she pretty?:

The Holidays...2010

Well it's that time of year...again. We just finished Thanksgiving this past week and now we're on to the mad rush of Christmas. Christmas music playing, Christmas trees sparkling with lights, yard decorations up and illuminating the sky, it's a magical time of year.

How did it get here so dang fast is what i want to know????

I feel overwhelmed a bit as it feels like we just did the Christmas Holidays. I'll survive and make it through and am almost finished Christmas shopping, WOOHOO, but seriously! PHEW! I am just hoping to be able to sit and relax and enjoy this season a little more than last year, think that is possible? LOL! I sure hope so, should be a good Christmas for our house.

Okay enough rambling for now, have a superb Christmas Season everyone!

My Girls

Above is a slideshow of my girls and their cheering and drill team pictures. They are such big girls now and I am so proud of them. I can't believe how fast they are growing up. Enjoy!
