grrrrrrrrrr

I cant get my pictures on here again! I'm sorry you will have to go without seeing the float because it was a lot of work to put together and even more to take apart! Lol! We had fun though. I am breaking out the Christmas decorations asap but I cant do it before Thanksgiving (it's like a law!) so it has to wait for me to get some time which means not this weekend. I hate having time off in the middle of the week I feel like I get no time to relax. I have to be up and out of the house by 8:15 am to get Eric off to school. I am grateful to have a good paying job that gives my good hours during the week though so I can take Eric to school and pick him up. I'm ready for my lights up outside and my door ringer to sing holly songs of the season to me. I know that door hanger drives Travis mad but I am still putting it up and I have to compete with the kids to get to push the button to make it sing when we walk up to our front door! I can't wait for our tree we have been working on the tree decorations for over a month so I hope it comes together well! I hope to have the picture portion up and running soon sorry guys! Later, Amy

thanksgiving

Hi everyone! Just a quick note today, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving even though I worked until 2. We went to DeAnn and Bill's house, Travis' step-sis and had some good food and a wonderful time visiting with his whole family. Travis made a fruit salad to take so I didn't cook a single thing on the big day. It was kind of nice! Lol! I did the crazy thing and got up at 4 am to go to Sears on Friday. They had a front loading washer and dryer set for 599.00 and since my washer is leaving marks on my clothes and it takes two cycles for my clothes to dry I thought it worth the pain (a lot of PAIN!) to get up and go even though I also had to be to work by 9am. My sister Sandi went with me and the set is on back order but hopefully will be in soon since I already had to pay for them. I had to wait in line for 45 minutes, but we saved over 600.00. I thought it best to leave Travis at home in bed so we wouldn't have to drag the kids out (my mom was working!) I did manage to make it to Kmart for a few small things but as you can imagine not a lot of money left in the budget. I did get to go to breakfast with Sandi before going to work. I worked until 2 and then headed to the shop to help put the finishing touches on the float for the Parade of Lights and then headed home to get Trevor a nap before going to the float to hand out candy. Sandi and her two youngest came and helped hand out flyers for the T.OW.E.D program with the candy and Eric and I walked behind the tow truck as well. We had a good time and it didn't even snow or rain on us this year. I have pics of the float and will post them later today hopefully but I'm not sure. Later, Amy

long time no see

Okay so I have been very terrible lately but I will say I have still been plagued by computer problems. We are still here and just working. Travis is very excited and getting ready for the day after Thanksgiving, not for the sales but we will be out in the Parade of Lights this year and he has designed the float. I will get pictures for all of you but he is excited and hopefully we wont freeze walking behind the truck; we will be handing out fliers for the T.O.W.E.D. program that Travis' work participates in. They give free tows to people who have been drinking and need a ride home safely about 3 weeks in Dec. thru New Year's Eve. I'm sure Trevor will be upfront with Daddy in the truck and Eric and I will freeze outside, but all in support of a great program. I have to work the day after Thanksgiving but will be getting up and going to a sale for a new washer and dryer at a blow out sale price before I head off to work then I hope I get a nap after work! Later, Amy

busy weekend

So it has been a hectic weekend but I feel I have at least acomplished something. I finished our Christmas shopping for the kids and Travis and I always agree to do something small for each other. He is very thoughtful and helps the boys shop for me. I have also been working on the computer like a mad woman today. I have done invites for my sister Sandi; her two daughters Paige and Sammy are being baptised next month and I got my pictures downloaded finally from my friend Jenni's babies blessing day, so I have been working on those. My schedule at work is changing so I work every weekend from now on; I am hoping it will be temporary and after 30 to 60 days I can bid to a new shift but we will see.

computer problems, again

So I have been out of the blog world for a little bit but I just wanted to post and let you know I will be able to be updated early next week! Later, Amy

new family pictures

Okay so its getting late and we all have to be up for school and work tomarrow but I wanted to show you our beautiful kids! My wonderful friend Jenni took these pictures for us and I am so grateful to have her talent because my youngest was in no mood to have his picture taken and even pretended to sleep while she was trying to shoot some photos of him! Later, Amy P.S. some of Lacey's Senior pictures are able to be seen at jjhphotography.blogspot.com
