My new favorite thing!

My mom is so awesome! I got the cutest purse today in the mail for my birthday (not till September 29)! I've wanted one forever! It's a Vera Bradley Bucket Tote in Mod Floral Pink

Feeling blessed

I feel so extemely blessed today. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened really. I got to do dishes with my 4 year old - he rinses and is a very GOOD rinser!!!! We played blocks, colored and made strawberry smoothies. I found out my sister is very serious about moving down to Arizona and leaves November 1st! She is going to stay with me until they get on their feet, so she will hopefully be here through Christmas! Either way I may get some help cooking for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!
I also got to make an much overdo apology to someone. Whether it is going to be well received or not is TBD, but I feel better knowing I did it.
Greg's job is great. He is due for his review and hopefully a raise! We love our new Pastor and his wife. They've been a blessing to us and our church. They have also adopted (she is grown know though)!
Dylan is doing wonderful in school. He is getting all A's. Every paper that comes home is 100% or check plus(which is how they grade these days).
My mom is coming to visit in a few weeks and I can't wait for that. She is soooo excited to be a grandma again! My dad and sister arent coming though
My other dad (my two dads ha ha) is out of rehab and is doing well. He gave his life to the Lord too! He just may tie the knot with Dawn (finally), but it was good that they waited!
Well that is it....must go clean - my favorite hobby - NOT!

8 months and counting and other random blogging

I can't believe I am already one month into my pregnancy. I feel great! I go to my first doctors appointment this Thursday at 2:45pm. I've pulled out all of my prego books and am reading them for a refresher. It also helps me to pray for the baby specifically when I know what parts are developing and when.

Dylan is doing great in school. He has school pictures on Sept 22 and he is so photogenic so we will probably get them. Both of the boys started soccer and their first game is Saturday September 13. Greg is coaching Dylan's team and I have Zion's.

Well I am off to watch the OSU game. Go BUCKEYES!

God is good

I am so excited! Recently Greg got pulled over for having expired tags on our van. When the officer asked to see his liscense he didn't have it with him. To make a long story short, the tickets were to be around $720-750. Today he went to his court hearing and the judge cleared all of the charges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QT with the Fam

My Sister and I

Sedona Red Rocks
Dylan Climbing the Grand Canyon
Dylan, Dad and Zion at Slide Rock
What a great week! Although I was sad to see my sister, Kayla and her hubby Joe leave today we definately wasted no time at all. We left Thursday afternoon and drove to Prescott and had dinner at the Prescott Brewery Company. They have the best Tomato Mushroom Bisque with Beer bread in the world!!! Next we drove to Williams where we stayed the night at a hotel and swam in the pool before going to bed. We got up early the next morning and had breakfast. We had a 58 mile drive to the Grand Canyon. Greg and I were there in December of 2006 but it was cold, snowy and not very enjoyable, however still beautiful! We took the boys too and they had never been either. We hiked Bright Angel Trail , took lots of pictures and shopped at the general store. Next we drove to Sedona. We stopped at Slide Rock for a little more hiking and swimming!! We then drove to historic Sedona and ate dinner, got coffee and shopped some more before driving home. What a great adventure!!!

Time of my life

There is nothing better chillin' with family. Shopping, walking through the desert, sharing meals, playing darts. It has been such a blast having my sister and brother in law here. It is flying by so fast!!!! Tomorrow we are going to the Grand Canyon for an overnight trip with the boys. We are pretty excited about it. The Viscomis and our boys have never been there. Pictures to follow!

Busy Weekend

I am sooooo excited to see my sister(and Joey) only two more days and she'll be here! I wish I could see everyone else too, but this will give me a fix. Today I got to go scrapbooking with my favorite gals from AZ. The new CTMH fall catalog came out but we can't order from it till Sept 1. And their clearance sale is starting again Tuesday morning!!!!! YEA! After scrapping I went and signed up more people for soccer, we are up to 208. I am coaching the little guys and only have 4 players and Greg is coaching Dylan's team again for the third year. After that I came home and cleaned like there was no tomorrow, I guess that's what women in my family do when they get nervous, or excited or both...CLEAN! We also went to our friend Tom's for his birthday! He is such a great cook and he wanted to cook for all of his friends on his birthday and cook he did! It was a smorgasboard of delights! I love his cooking!

Tomorrow is church and a welcome home party for Lindsay, a girl from our church, who just got back from a missions trip in Thailand!

We got good news today that Greg's tickets may go down from $600 to $125 for failing to present his liscense and expired registration - Pray that reduce the fines!!!! If they do that will help us pay our $645 electric bill!!!!!!!!!!!! YIKES! What do people think money grows on trees?

Until till tomorrow **SIGH** I am going to bed, I am sleepy!
