The Batchelor needs to get rid of

Vienna Sausage. OK I can't believe I am even blogging about this. But, really? This girl is a total quack. I really like Tenley. She has been married before and I can tell that scares him. She is such a real (or seems to be) one there, and she's adorable too! Cory is still a virgin (so she says) and is saving herself for marriage. I think that's great if it's true. I have a hard time believing anyone on these kinds of shows are being 100% themselves, after all it is a competition in the end. So, as of tonight I am hoping he picks Tenley.

Saw it again

Just thought I'd share that. So, I saw Avatar Friday night and Saturday night. The movie is just OK...haha

I had no desire to even see it...

The movie Avatar that is. I hadn't even seen any of the previews. Someone told me about a site I could watch a bootleg copy of it and I thought I'd just watch minute or two of it to see what all the hype was about. So, after about an hour of watching it I realized I had to go see it on the big screen. I called my Mom and sister Tami and neither one of them had any desire to see it. After about 10 minutes of begging they both agreed to come with me to see Avatar at the movies. After seeing the movie I guarantee they would go back to see it a 2ND time now, haha. Once you put those 3D glasses on it's a whole new world with this movie. A lot of people don't like Science fiction movies, I am one of them. This isn't what I expected at all. The coloring in the movie is amazing, along with the story and the music. This is a movie I will own. All though I know it will never be the same as seeing in the movies and having stuff fly at your face. Mom and I were dodging things and laughing out loud because we were embarrassed. We had to have looked so silly. Trust me, you will love this movie. I don't know how anyone couldn't, it's that AWESOME!

Girl Interrupted

It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since Amy Walker was called home. Amy Walker is my sister Cher's stepdaughter. She was such a sweet girl and it is a shame she only got to live a short life. If you are interested in her story click here to read the article from the Riverport Times 10 years ago.

Our new puppy...

I know it seems awfully soon to be thinking about any other dogs but this one is so cute. I don't know if I can pass him up. Whatcha think?

It's so hard to say goodbye.....

Tonight I had to put my baby boy Fido down. He was an old lil guy, normally weighing about 9 pounds today he was only 5. I knew he was nearing the end of his days as he's been having seizures daily and could barely walk, not even to go potty outside. I took him to the vet only to find out he was going through heart failure and the doctor felt with his quality of life he should go to doggie Heaven. This was so much tougher to go through then I ever imagined it would be. My mom met me there to support me as I watched him slowly fall asleep. Fido was a really awesome dog for so many years of my life, since age 19. Today I am 34, and sometimes it felt he would be with me forever. I will miss Fido so much but I know he is so much happier where he is. I will see you again someday Fido. I love you buddy!

Lately

Things have been hard for our family. Last Wednesday I got a call that my sister Cher fell down the stairs at home so I met them at the hospital. She broke both of her wrists and really hurt her face pretty good. They did her reconstructive surgery the next day at around 2:30 in the afternoon. Seeing her in so much pain was heart wrenching. Today she is feeling some better and tomorrow she will be going to a skilled nursing facility because she can't really do anything for herself. I took a picture of her with my cell phone, so it isn't the best quality. The best thing for her is prayer and there is tons out there for her right now. That is what is carrying her through! Thank you all!

On to a more chipper note, I got this crazy hair and decided to see if Portrait Innovations had any appointments open yesterday. Luckily they did, so I took Greyson for his 3 yr pictures. Mom went with us and I think I bought more because she went..haha but I love them all. He had the photographer laughing at him so many times. We were the last appointment and she was having so much fun with him, she didn't care how long we were there.

Where the heck have I been????

I have been a very bad blogger the past couple months. I get like that. So many things have happened since I last blogged. We moved back to St. Peters, YAY! I am really happy about that because it means 60 less miles on both of our cars daily and not to mention I got some of my sanity back from not sitting in so much traffic. Rachel- I am sorry you will not get your daily St. Louis traffic report, but I had to...haha.

Rachel and JD Huse have finally gotten pregnant after trying for a very long time. I am thrilled to announce that! Most of my blog readers probably know them. So, if you're a prayer, please add them to your prayers for a healthy 9 mos. I know the baby will be gorgeous no matter what with their looks. Their daughter Lorelai is a doll and very smart!

Last Greyson turned 3 on August 25th! We can't believe he is that old already. Why must it fly by? I love every single day with him and feel blessed to be his mommy. Since his birthday fell on a weekday I called a great friend, Angie McCarthy, and asked her to join us at Chuck E. Cheese's. We had so much fun! So, thanks Angie, Collin, and Austin for coming and celebrating his birthday with us!

Yesterday I brought him to get a pair of Sketchers he kept saying he wanted on T.V. $50.00 later, he is in Heaven and puts them on and takes them off like 10 times a day.
I sure hope they last a while....

This Saturday we will have his birthday party with my family at the park. I rented a Spongebob cake pan, this should be very interesting.I didn't plan on making the cake but my sister Tami thinks we should......oh my! Then today when Greyson and I checked the mail, there was a surprise from Rachel and Lorelai in there! Rachel made Greyson a shirt and crayon holder! What a sweetie! I love surprises! Here is a picture of him with both of them.

I am going to try to get back on the blogging bandwagon, but I can't make any promises....

To avoid getting Swine Flu..don't do this.....

Hee heee heee, I got this in a email and thought I'd share it.

Dressed and ready to go

in Daddy's shorts that is. It's so funny to watch him try to put Carlos' clothes on. He gets them on upside down and inside out. But he wants NO help with anything. He is big enough to do it all by himself.

He finally gave up and decided to use the shorts as a sleeping bag.
