New Pictures!!

Oh man I love these babies!!!!!!! I think that might be the understatement of the year!! haha!! I have been gone this last week and wanted to upload these pictures for you to see, but I didn't have the disk so while Race is asleep I decided to hurry and do it. We borrowed Papa Chucks camera a couple of weeks ago and had some fun. Unfortunetly the weather was not on our side of things. We managed to get a few in but nothing AMAZING!! (ok so all pictures of my kids are amazing we just didn't get any "professional" quality) I can't wait til this Friday when I am done with my training and can get back to my regular routine. Although it has been nice to be able to do whatever I want (on a locked up campus) when I want!! I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do!!

Stuck!!!

I'm currently stuck at POST!!! (Peace Officer Standards Training) I am missing those babies of mine so bad........I'm so homesick!!! Oh well only 2 more weeks ha!!! I have an awesome roomie that I get along with so well (I'm so lucky) there are some wild ones here!!! I can't wait to come home but I know I have to be here to keep a job that I love so much!!! I'll try to blog a little while I'm here to keep you up to date. Thanks mom for helping Quentin during all this!!! I love you!!!

The BIG 30!!!!!

That's right my sweetheart turns 30 today!!! I tease him because he is just starting to get a few grays in his hair. He blames it on me, I blame it on the kids and his age!! Anywho, I just want to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I love him so much!! He does so much for us, we really are lucky to have him. So I thought I would tell you 5 random things about him!!

1- He has recently taken up fourwheeling and snowmachines. Now when I say taken up I mean thats basically all he does on the weekends. He goes to auctions to find some to fix up and make money (thanks Nick). And he rides all the time!!

2- He is not a Mr. Fixit he tries to be but he still has to get lots of help. He is getting alot better as of lately!!

3- He loves to play video games but has given up alot of the time to be with his kids.

4- He loves ALL sports!! Mostly watching (because he's getting old) but he can tell you about anything you want to know. He is a great bowler and has many high scores in the "Bowling Hall of Fame"!! I hope to one day go and see them in person!!

5- He would do anything for me or his kids. He usually puts up a big fight, but almost always gives in. Thanks honey we love you so much!! Thanks for putting up with us and our wild ways!!

Does anyone have a good idea what to do with these bad boys after Easter beside throw them in the garbage??? ahhh my husband used to love them, but thanks to my mother and grandmother buying so many........I'm not so sure he'll ever eat them again!! Infact he liked them so much he joined the Peeps Fan Club!! Not kidding!! But now we get them and basically throw them in the garbage so if you have a recipe let me know!!

Chocolate calculator

Fun to do...
Don't tell me your age, you probably would tell a falsehood anyway, but the Hershey Man will know! YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but fewer than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 .....
If you haven't, add 1758.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number
(I.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).


The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

I am so ready for summer!!!

I don't know about you but we are so ready for some warm weather. My kids are hating being in the house and so am I. I would really like to be able to use the park next door (literally)!! I know I always complain it's too hot, but right now I want out!! Ahhh It's sad to say but I would really like to play in my garden too!! Last year I let it go to weeds, I am bound and determined to keep it nice this year cause my kids love the food from it!! I know kind of a lame post but I needed to vent a little!! Where are you warm weather????

I just got this in my email. I laughed so hard because I can see this happening to my dad!! He is so forgetful and my mom often reminds him. I just thought I would share this with you. Thanks Carrie for the funny email!! Keep em coming!! If you want it bigger to read I think if you click on it it will come up in it's own screen!!
