so what have i been doing?

well first I had thisday, national scrapbook day at my house. this was before everyone got there in my scraproom. we had a great day but hosting does not make for much scrapping. but we laughed alot.

and then this little Guy came home....yup him name is elvis and we are instant in love, but I forgot how having a new puppy is like having a new baby. early mornings, trying to get stuff done while the "baby" sleeps. I am exhausted.

and I am trying wrap up school so i can get some time to enjoy this

our new fur baby

we must be nuts, but look who is ours next week.....

i mean could you eat him up. still working on a name but some of us like noodles jr or petey.

he is a mix of a fox terrier,chiwawa(sp), and pug.

yea we are nuts...

confirmation and bamboozled

so, today my twins were confirmed. And my heart was full. in all the craziness of preparing for this day, i had not anticipated being overcome with emotion. when they both stood in front of the church and Rev Cherry, my memory suddenly remembered(yes think sunrise sunset from fiddler on the roof here) of how when I was hospitalized with complications carrying these twins, this little church prayed for me and them, my minister counceled me when i needed it most, and the church shared in my joy of their survival and homecoming.This minister babtized them and now confirmed them. Of course my tears gave good ammunition to my husband and boys to tease me, but who cares. My heart is full today.

of course, today was a polar opposite of yesterday which was spent at bamboozle. for you old folks that do not know what bamboozle is..it is giants stadium filled with a million bands and their fans...think giant stadium mash pit/rock band. The twins wanted to go for their birthday and so Guy and I drove them and stayed. OMG wild and crazy for sure. my ears are ringing. we were the oldest people there(funny they did not question us for the parents tents ) but we did see paramor(yea ask you kids who they are) and jimmy eat world(again ask your kids), so we can sound cool when we tell people 20 and under we go up

a notch as not so old old people...

wicked BABY

OMG OMG OMG OMG got to see this as a chaperone for a trip out of my school and i was blown away...loved the story the music everything. i am so getting tickets for my family. i am going to bite the bullet and do this. none of them have seen a broadway show...i just want them to experience it once..can anyone say rebate check:)

to quote my son 13

"And to let you people know u cant love a person for a day theres no point of loving someone for a day "
this was on his my space and I think it is my new motto...

last days

well the goverment finally emminent domained our business property. apparently the highway bridge needs our business property more than we do, more than we needed to make a living, more than we needed to have a place for our employees, more than we needed the memories of a businees we have had for 23 years createdwith my father in law who is gone from us now,more than we needed to sell it for retirement. Get out they said, no money yet and what will come will barely cover somewhere new to go. At 50 with kids going to college,we will be starting over.

We hadto move in 4 days. leave a memory behind. Frankly no matter what language you put it in. It sucks.I love this country but ths is F-upped...

another thing

and this..the magazine Justin is in. sold at a borders near you:)
