My favorite thing!!

Butterfly Bush!

Wow where to start?

Well, lets see. They say that time heals everything, and I have found that to be true. Its been months since Ive last posted and I feel it necessary. The kids now are back to school. Gabe started kindergarten this year, and keith is in first grade. My oldest, Dylan, is in the big eighth grade. Oh how I remember the good old eighth grade...you too huh Candace? :) Anyhow, I have made it through another quarter and am well into a new one. Two more to go and Im done....whooo hooo.!! Until I go back anyway. Dean and I have moved to a new house, one which I would love to take tons of pictures of if it wasnt a chaotic mess at the moment. We began moving in about 3 weeks ago, and things were really moving along. 4 days into the move we found out we were pregnant :). We figured this out due to the horrible most disgusting nausousness I have EVER felt. I mean whoa!!! From that day forward I was done, couldnt move another thing, smell anything, cook anything, ughhhh. Needless to say we STILL havnt gotten everything out. Anywho, this week after much contemplation of having my whole freakin stomach removed I went to the doctor to find that the pregnancy was eptopic and needed to be removed immediately. The surgery went fine, and I was feeling so much better that evening. Emotionally things have been a little tense for both of us, but I have realized that my health is so much more important, and we both have kids who literally HAVE to have us around. So I am ok. I am feeling great, I can Eat again.....YAYAYAYAYAYAY. I have unpacked a lot and got out of the house for a while. I cant wait to take some pictures.....anyone, anything. I feel back alive.......:) Hope this sums it all up a little. Miss you all!

Ahhh....back to school

Its been a fun little break...very short none the less. I ended up with 3 A's and a B....ughhh...I go back to school Wednesday..but I am headed to South Carolina for a few days on Thursday....any how...hope you all are well.

A Sneak Peek

By no means is this all of the pics from our trip, but I feel so dang obligated to post a few . I have been so busy ...gosh Ill be glad when this quarter is over..(I say that repeatedly in this blog)


And Im not so proud to say.....sigh.....that I will most likely {NOT} have a 4.0 this go around....its terrible. Ive had 4 quarters thus far with only A's


Anyhow...her a few pics. Nothing fancy.... :)


Whoo Hoo!!! We thought we were actually close... :)



the sky on the way...we thought for sure after we had loaded (what seemed like everything I freakin own)...into the back of the truck..including the dog.....that it was gonna rain on us the whole way..but it didnt. Isnt it beautiful..?





Keith soon after we arrived....promptly in character :)




The first day...after Water Country..we heard a familiar noise echoing through the neighborhood...rushed out and found the ice cream man. Since we are on vacation..it is mandatory to eat and spend everything you can. Right..?



and then there were ...{ 6 }






Megan's daughter Kaelyn..nad her gorgeous eyes..and very big ice cream....




Dylan and Sean....



Me on the trampoline......




So many more to come.....We stayed at My long time friend Megan's house. She has 3 kids as well...it was a zoo around there. No sleep for the weary I suppose.
