I've been a bad girl neglecting my blog. I guess i haven't been in quite the sharing mood lately. Father's Day was real nice. I got to go to lunch at grandmas favorite place with Dad, grandpa and Liz. It was a great visit. There has been a lot of death the last month and a half. Not so much people close to me, but people close to the ones i'm close to. My bosses husband, bbf #2's grandpa, my friend and co workers friend. Its been real rough on everyone. Still having bad luck in the relationship department, but there is some possible changes in the works. If it happens I will let my friends know. If not i've been single so long i'm getting used to it. I will try to update more later!

Grandpa

So I just wanted to jump on here real quick and let everyone know that as of yesterday he is cancer free! I'm so excited to finally get some good news. Thank you everyone for all your positive thoughts and prayers. I love you Grandpa!

Time Flies

Wow time sure does fly. On April 8th my baby turned 12. I can't belive that in one more year she will be a teenager! What's a mom to do? I've been so busy with life that I've neglected my blog. I'm sorry. :( My grandpa started his radiation. He's feeling great, just keep fingers crossed that it is working! I got 2 tattoos in the last month. Dragonflies on my inner wrist. One is slightly bigger and that one stands for Celeste while the other two are for the twins. Then I added a butterfly to my musical note. My sister got a matching butterfly on her arm. Our sister thing!

Yes I'm still alive

It's been awhile, but hey we all get busy.  So I wanted make sure that I got on here and asked everyone to keep my grandpa in their thoughts.  He just started his radiation treatments last week.  Also on Sunday he was having chest pains and my dad and Liz took him to the hospital.  They had him stay over night to keep an eye on him.  They never did figure out what was wrong.  This is the same thing that happened last year.  I wish they could figure it out. 

I don't know if you all remember, but last year when we got a real good snow one of the local merchants made snow sculptures.  Well last week we finally got some real snow.

Well I have more to update and more pictures to post, but I have to get the girls to get ready for bed.  Hope to get on here again soon.

My 32nd Birthday

Belated Christmas

It snowed so bad on Christmas day that we didn't get to see my mom, sister and niece. So two weekends ago we finally got to see them. Here are the four cutest girls. This is right before presents so they were very happy. My mom also got me a precious moments which I collect. The best part is that its a Little Mermaid one. I absolutely love the Little Mermaid. It's almost mine and the twins birthdays. I'm going out Saturday night with my closest girlfriends. The twins birthday is super bowl Sunday so I've decided to post pone the party for a weekend so that the men won't complain. lol Well I'll have to let everyone know how it goes and post some pictures!

So I guess it's time to catch up

I've been so busy with work, the holidays, the girls winter break, and my weeks vacation.  And now lucky me I'm sick.  Just got back from the Dr. I'm on antibiotics and should be back to work tomorrow.  So I guess I need to go back to December.  On December 13th my friend Chad and I took the girls ice skating for their first time.Caitlyn enjoyed it the most.  We had to force her to leave.  At the very end I fell.  But instead of falling on my butt I fell forward on my knees.  Let me tell you bruising your kneecaps is not fun.  They are still bruised almost a month later.  After we finished ice skating we drove from Tahoe to Carson to celebrate my niece's 5th birthday. She is getting so big, way to fast.  The last week of school was so busy.  The girls had their Christmas Concerts and some other after school stuff.  I had the week of Christmas off of work.  Rob kept the girls until Christmas Eve.  It was a quiet and productive practical week.  I even got to get my hair done.  I got some red highlights put in.  On Christmas Eve my dad and step mom came over to have a mini Christmas with us.  Then on Christmas morning Rob came over and we opened our presents.  It snowed so much on Christmas.  It's been over 6 years since we've had a white Christmas. We got at least 4 inches.  It was so beautiful.   We didn't make it to Dayton to celebrate with my mom because I didn't feel comfortable enough to drive in it.  It was like a blizzard outside. We were also suppose to go sledding the day after Christmas, but poor Makayla got sick.  New Years was nice.  I went to dinner with three of my closest friends then we went to Hill's house and hung out.  My girls got to spend it with me and that was wonderful.  My friend George came home from basic training for Christmas.  He flew out New Years Day.  I was so sad.  I won't get to see him for 5 months.  I think that's the main of my last month.  

Happy New Year!

Well now it's 2009.  I can't believe how fast time goes by.  I'm not going to make any resolutions this year.  I'm thinking that if I do something different then maybe the year will be different.  I did have some fun last year, but there was to much bad.  I'm hoping that we don't have any hospital visits this year.  I need to get to updating the latest things that have happened.  I finally got my laptop that I've wanted.  So now I've got to get all my pictures and music moved over.  I hope that everyone has a wonderful new year!

Small update.

OK so we got news on grandpa. He does have cancer. The don't want to operate because of his age. They have him a hormone shot and will check his level in 3 months. I'm praying that it will go into remission. If not grandpa is thinking radiation. I'm just going to try and keep a positive mind. I've never hated a word as much as cancer. Now that it has gone after two grandparents and been a possibility to 3 others. I know that we will make it through this no matter what, but it would be nice for it to be on a positive note. I love you grandpa!

Thankful For.....

Well it's that time of year where we all sit down with our family and friends and discuss what we are thankful for. This year my mom, sister, and niece are coming over to my house. I will be the one doing the cooking. So here is my list.

I am thankful for:

~the fact that I made it through this year. I can't wait to start another one with hopes that it will be better.

~my family. No matter what they are always there for me. The greatest thing is that I don't even have to tell them I need them, they just seem to know.

~my friends. My real life friends and online friends. They have really been there for me through all my stuff this last year.

~my wonderful co-workers. They truly are my second family. I wouldn't have made it this far without them.

~my great job. Not only do I love my job, but I work for a great company. While all these banks are having troubles we are making profit.

~my puppy. Toby has sat with me at my loneliness times and kept me company. He truly loves me unconditionally.

~that I finally got the chance to take my girls to Disneyland. It was such a great time for us to share together.

~and finally and most importantly my girls. No one can make you feel more loved than your kids. They make me smile.

I know there's more, but this my list.

I miss you!

So here is the best woman I've ever known. Tomorrow is one year since she passed. I really can't believe that it's gone by so fast. There has been so much that she should have been a part of. She'll never she the pictures from the girls first trip to Disneyland. The is one thing that I remember is going to Disneyland with my grandparents. She was always the first person that I wanted to show the birthday cakes and costumes to. She was always so proud of me. One of the reasons I enjoyed making everything was because I knew how excited she would be. She missed Celeste's first dance. I know that she is in heaven looking down on us, but it's not the same. Maybe I'm selfish to miss her so much and want her around. I know she lived a full and very loved life and wouldn't have changed a thing. I just hope that she is up there helping to guide me in the direction I need to go. I know that I need her. I just wanted to make sure to pay tribute to a wonderful woman and best grandma in the world. In the picture above she is holding me at about 11 months old. I was her first grandchild. I love you grandma!

Favorite Season ATC Swap

Halloween again!

I can't believe I forgot to post pictures of me and my coworkers from Halloween. I didn't make my costume, I actually bought it. Here I am as a Goth Raggedy Ann doll. My two co workers Jackie and Cassie as the witch and baby. We couldn't get the other two to dress up. OH well maybe next year!

What day is it?

I've had so much going on in my life that I can barely tell what day it is. Unfortunately the Holidays make it busier. At least the election is finally over. I was glad that Obama won, but was so tired of hearing all the ads. I get Tuesday off! And thank god for our wonderful Veterans. Of course my favorite two are my daddy and grandpa. Speaking of Grandpa it's been almost one year since my loving grandma moved on to her next life. This is such a hard time for the family. On top of the year anniversary Grandpa has to go in on Tuesday for a biopsy on his prostate. Please keep him in your thoughts, I don't think my family can handle anymore cancer right now. Gosh Tuesday will be a busy day as I also have the floor guys coming to replace my bathroom floors. Well as of right now I'm thinking about getting started on my Christmas ATC's. So hopefully I'll have some news soon.
