Catch-Up and Coupons for the Military

Today the kids have no school because of the weather..SNOW and more FREEZING RAIN..UUGHGH..so I have C helping me cut out coupons. I have gotten into the habit of taking my beat up coupon binder with me at all times now. We were thinking of something to do with the coupons that I don't use..We thought we could send them to Coupons for the Military...Do any of you have an address or a way for me to look up some info on this..I have read somewhere out in blogland about this but now I can't remember where.



On Saturday we met my mom and sister at Olive Garden to celebrate my sister's 18th b-day party, We got the special treatment for her, the whole cake and Happy Birthday song..it was so much fun to surprise her and it was such good food!!



Early Sunday morning lil guy decided he was going to pick up our tom cat that was sleeping in the laundry room, this is his forehead after the attack, not sure how it happened but the cat freaked, Lil guy has a very bad scratch next to his eye which resulted in a morning trip to the ER..he is now on tons of meds and the cat stays outside from now on. I won't show a pic of his eye...He looks like someone hit him and gave him a shiner!

Happy 6th Birthday Abigail!!

Today is Abigail's 6th Birthday, 6 years ago I was in the Hospital with the best Christmas present ever! We celebrate her Birthday early so that Family is not stressed out and can enjoy the day, We had a small party here with an DQ Ice Cream cake.

Mommy Loves You Abigail!

Birthday Cake and a Surprise!

SO my Birthday was on the 25th but We ate the Cake on the 29th...I'm now 30th...and with that comes the knowledge that I need to start taking better care of myself..I have to watch what I eat! I'm going to TRY to start...Drinking more water and watching the sugar, which is a hard one for me because after putting the kids to bed and feeding HOSS we like to have a dessert and watch a show or read...it's just become second nature to us and after seeing myself in pics..My desserts are showing! Have any ideas on how to start to ween myself from this nightly ritual?


My Chocolate Cake and Presents! I received a nice Daimond bracelet, some necklaces/bracelet sets and a small jewelry box and the best one was a cup and saucer set from England the I want to display in my room. I was supposed to be born in England but was born in California instead so I really want to visit England one day and I collect everything I can!
This is Crystal's new Hand-made Saddle rack, made with left over wood from the girls bunk-bed.
DH made this yesterday in about 2 hours...I'm so proud of him! It's very sturdy...We have it sitting in Crystal's room right now.
