We went to the Apple Orchard today! It was fun. Lots of stuff to do there...feed the animals, go through a maze, take a hayride, pick apples. It fun a nice fall thing to do. Then Kayla is sleeping over. She did an amazing job playing and watching Madison today. I gave her 3 bucks when she watched her while Alexis and I ran to the store.

Well, tomorrow morning I am driving both Steve and Alexis to the airport. Steve needs to be at the airport about 6:15 in the morning and Alexis needs to be at the airport about 9:00 in the morning. At first she was going to go when Steve did but I talked her out of it because she doesn't need to sit in a airport for 3 hours or so. How boring! Where are they going you ask? Steve is going to Idaho for work. Can you get any more boring of a place than Idaho? And poor Alexis is leaving for Iraq. How sad that she's going. She's handling pretty damn good though. I know I've said this before but I am not cut out for the armed forces and I certainly wouldn't be handling it good leaving for Iraq. She's a bit more balanced than I. Well, she is!

So, I went online and bought some more fun papers and elements to play with while Steve is gone. A girls gotta have some fun, right? This time it's my present to myself for being a single parent for 4 days. I love buying myself presents:) This is a layout I made with the stuff I bought. Oh..also on top of this post too.

Speaking of layouts....I went to check my email this evening and I had a nice suprise and a great compliment...read on...

kelmichaels,

Every layout you do it seems in one way or another it stands out from all the others ... how do you do it? lol Carla said that you have been on some big CT's and that she was so happy to have you with her. I was wondering if you were interested in designing and selling or if your interests just lay in doing your own personal layouts and being on an occasional CT team?A friend and I have started a digi-scrapping store and would be thrilled to have you with us in one form or another. We're still quite small but growing weekly and would be thrilled if you would consider joining us either as a designer or on the CT team.Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks,Julie Culp

(jewels / Designing-Moments CT)

Nice compliment, huh? I told her that I'd be on the ct but I am not interested in designing right now. It would be fun but really is time consuming and I don't feel like putting my energy into doing that right now. I'd rather just be on some ct's and get free stuff. Anyways, the email made me feel good that I was singled out. Too bad it didn't do something like pay me a million bucks. Then that's be something! Anyways...nice compliment.

Well, I had best be going. I am sure Madison will be waking up soon (she usually does around midnight). I heard Kayla finally fall asleep in her room. I want to play with my new papers a bit more. Here are some more photos from today!

Isn't this funny? How cute!

the fam fam. Poor ty....I need a ty fix. It would be a nice picture if he was in there with us.

And mom and Alexis. Don't they look like they are in Switzerland or something? hee hee...I guess I am not sure where I think they are but it looks like they are somewhere else.

God am I tired. Not sure why because I haven't really done much. Maddie and I went down to St. Paul and went out to eat lunch with Steve. We went to a place called Digideos. A nice and dark Italian resturant. Madison did good eating her speghtti. Then we ran to Target to go pick up Steve's medications. I think mostly I am emotionally tired. Tired from Madison pooping in her pullups. I have tried every tactic with her...today's tatic was get mad. Although I wasn't really mad at her I pretended to be, which doesn't work anyways. But God, we are going through pull ups like crazy. I remember thinking how much cheaper things would be once she left diapers. Nope...pull ups are more expensive. Well anyways, she's only got like 7 left and I just can't bear the thought of having to run AGAIN to Target AGAIN to buy pull ups AGAIN. Geez.

Aren't these cute layouts? Super pretty papers. It's for someone I CT for. I love them. Anways, back to the pullups. It has exhaugusted me big time. I am tired of changing poopy pullup/diapers/whatever. 3 1/2 yrs is too long. She's going to be 4 people......this just can't be.

Not much happened today! Madison was at daycare. She said she didn't want to go. But then she was happy when she got there. Just dropped her off, and there ya go....she's at daycare:) Just like that. Anyways, didn't do too much today. I ran to Southdale and bought my Elizabeth Arden make up. Actually just the foundation. It costed me 34 bucks. That's okay that I had to pay that because I can not stand using Target crap anymore. Just too crappy of stuff at Target. I have been meaning to buy good stuff for a long time now and finally got around to doing it. I can tell that I haven't been shopping at a store for a long time. I was looking through clothes and OMG, the cost of clothes. Granted, I was shopping at Macy's but still. I guess they probley weren't too expensive but too much for me right now. I ended up buying a tshirt from Kohls for 12.99. I really need to make a rule for myself that I don't buy anymore sweatshirt, tshirt, jogging outfits anymore. It's hard to because what do I really need to dress up for? Sure, I'd like for my husband to come home and say, "gee, you look great today"....but that's not really how it goes in our household. Sure, every once in awhile Steve will say something but it's like hit or miss and not sure exactly what he's commenting on because sometimes it can be something nice I have on or sometimes it can be sweat stuff on. Not sure what floats his boat. I should know....okay, when I wear my hair down. He likes that. I guess that's when he comments me. Probley cuz I always have it in a ponytail. I try really hard to wear it down but it's so much more comfortable wearing in a ponytail. Boy, I got off on a tagent there, didn't I? All I meant to say is I got some makeup at Macys. That was it...and then I went off.

Alexis came out to stay with us because she leaves for Iraq on Sunday and she's expected to show up at her naval base in St. Paul tomorrow and Saturday. She doesn't actually leave for Iraq...she leaves for Virginia first and does training there with M16's and 9mm guns. Scary or what? I know I am not cut out for the armed forces, but just to hear that you are training with those guns because you'll be carry them on you is scary shit.

Oh my god, Steve just scared the crap out of me. I head something or someone say something or made a noise but I wasn't sure what and then I saw him (or someone) walk out of the dark (into the bathroom).....I screamed out. My heart is beating a million miles an hour. Geez.

Anyways, Alexis wanted to buy some sheets for her bed out in Iraq (she got tipped off). I talked her into getting some 400 thread count sheets. Told her she needs to treat herself since she is leaving. I told her, "I'd be buying myself presents right and left because I'd feel sorry for myself for having to go to Iraq". Now she can feel homey and comfortable in her bed. I told her "there's nothing like doing a day of machine guns and coming home to kick back and take a nap on your 400 thread count sheets!" ha! Then I laughed at myself for quite awhile. I thought that was so funny.

hey ya. Trying to think what happened today...hmmmm. I guess it must of been pretty boring if I can't even remember. Oh, Madison had dance tonight. She was so cute. She really likes it. She still won't let me take any pictures of her in her dance outfit. I'll have to wait until I get my good camera with the lens to zoom in while she's actually in class to get pictures of her. Not sure why she won't let me take any photos in her dance stuff because earlier she let me take some pictures of her in her new halloween costume. It's the little mermaid dress. She loves it. The back is cute...it's a fin like a mermaid has...see....

And then the front is just a regular dress. She'll get good use out of this dress after halloween. I told her that she can't wear it until halloween. She's so excited. How cute!I got it at Target. Now she can be Ariel. Speaking of pictures and my camera that I want...I can almost get it. I can afford the body/lens that comes with it, but I want another lens to go along with it. I just need a little bit more for the extra lens. I am so excited to get it! yea for me. I just need a good sale to come along and I'll get it. Shouldn't be too long. I am hoping to have it before the leaves turn colors so I can get some awesome photos outside. I am actually a little bit closer to getting it because I won 150.00 playing bingo when we went down to the farm over the weekend. I went with Alexis and her mother to Jackpot Junction. That was fun playing. I felt so independent not relying on mom what to do in a bingo hall...hee hee. It was fun. I guess it was fun because I won! I should of won more because the game I won was for 100 buck and then I had to pick a stuffed animal out of a basket and in the stuffed animal was a dollar amount (50, 150, 250). Well I was choosing between the donkey and the eagle and I choose the donkey. The eagle was the won with the 250. I was so bummed out because then for sure I'd have enough for my camera without it going on sale.

Oh, I joined ww online. Now I can do it for real. Enough of this pound here and pound there...it's coming off this time for sure. I am tired of weighing what I do and I just need to get back down to my normal weight for me. Wish me luck! Tonight I ate a cheeseburger that steve made with premade patties. Then I went to go tally up the points. Oh My God, I almost died. I ended up going over my total by 1 point. Thank God I didn't eat much today during the day because I would of been way over. Anyways, day 1 is done...thank God. That's the hardest day for me. Acutally the first week is really hard for me. But around the 3 week, it's a breeze. It's just getting to that week is the problem. Now that I am doing it online, it shouldn't be so overwhelming to me trying to keep track of my points. I hate having to pay for it, but you know....it's a good investment if I do what I am suppose to do and lose it. Plus, it's making me follow my plan for sure if I am putting money into it. It's not that much really but still. It's money. And that's money that should be going to my good camera. Anyways, hopefully by christmas I will be down to normal. yea for me again.

I best be getting to bed now. I was really tired today. Steve was saying that he was so tired and couldn't get up this morning (don't ask me....I've been falling asleep in Madison's room for the last 2 weeks) and he was shrugging his shoulders to why he should be so tired and I said, "at least you have an excuse to be tired...I don't really". I mean I do sleep in every morning (in a way. I don't actually sleep with Madison waking me up every 30 seconds). Tonight Madison and I are having a slumber party in the middle of our living room. We'll sleep out there tonight. Fun stuff I guess! She thought it was a big deal anyways:)

Alexis giving me a good bye kiss!

I like this picture. This is a few people walking down to the chicken coop to check for eggs.

It's kinda cool getting the eggs. No, I did not acutally touch them, nor would I eat them...but they are cool. At least the concept of them. hee hee.
Yes, he is holding another glass of beer in his hand. Pretty much sums up the long weekend.
Here is one of my favorite all time pictures of me and Maddie.

I haven't been able to blog because we were out of town! We acutally went down to Jimmy and Alexis's farm for Alexis's going away party. She leaves for Iraq next week. Good news is she is going to be staying at our house on Thursday and Friday and then leaves on Saturday. So we get to see her abit longer. I think Jimmy is also coming. Not sure though. Anyways, we had a really good time down at the farm. I'll post some photos and then I need to get to bed. It's already 1:00 in the morning. I have been trying to make a photobook for Alexis of her going away party. I'll send it to her while she's in Iraq. That should make her happy. I don't remember what we did down there for 3 days....must of been that relaxing or something. Madison was pretty good. One morning she flopped herself down in the middle of their living room and I dragged (literally had to drag her) up the stairs and she held onto the railing, screaming "noooooo". That would be fine if it was just Jimmy and Alexis but her parents live with them and also Jim's mom was over while the drama was going on. I am not sure what they think. ha! It was pretty funny. I spent some good quality time with her reading alot of books and sitting with her while she watched her little movies on the portiable dvd player. Madison had such a blast with all the kitties. Not so much the chickens. By the end of the long weekend she was afraid of the chickens. I am sure she terrorized the kittens though because she would not leave them alone. She must be allergic to cats also (I am and so is Tyler) because her eyes puffed up and she got all splotchy on the face.

Poor, poor little kitties!~seriously terrorized them.

Cute picture of Jim and Alexis. Doesn't Jim look like he's doing a model pose? hee hee.

A great picture of Jimmy, Steve and Dan. For those of you who don't know, they all went to high school together. It's always fun when those 3 are hanging out. You know you'll have a great time.

So when Steve got home from work today we took Madison down to the park.....but she's not the one that needs to be tamed when we go there....here's some pictures of Steve's doing at the park:

It's a little x-rated...thankfully there were no other kids there. Not that they would know what this is but still...THEN here he is trying to ride Madison's tricycle and falling off of it....

What a goofball. Madison got to ride her trike down to the park again. It's fun to watch her. These are the moments in life that are priceless.
Steve took the day off of work tomorrow. We are going down to Jimmy and Alexis's farm for Alexis's going away party (remember she leaves for Iraq in a week or so). I am so sad that she is going. Oh, that reminds me that I bought her some stationary for a little (very little) going away present. I have to remember to wrap that before we go. The party is on Saturday but Jimmy wanted Steve to ride his dirt bike down there for a day. By the way, I have mellowed out alot on Steve owning a dirt bike. Kinda got myself into a little freenzy about that didn't I? Silly girl. I guess it's true when they say that time heals. ha! It should be fun spending a weekend down there. Alexis wants me to go play bingo with her. There is a casino right by their place so I am assuming that's where we are going to go. I thought she said we'd play bingo on Sunday. Not sure what time we are getting back! It should be fun. I don't want Alexis to go to Iraq. It's for such a long time!

I love being on this new creative team that I'm on...here are some layouts I did with their papers/kits...

Aren't those fun? I love, love, love their papers. So cute! This is how I would of loved to design. The lady who designs these works with some of the acutal paper manufactuers of scrapbooking paper (real paper, not digital paper). I think their stuff is pretty cool.

Well, we had such a good day today. We started off the day laughing (okay, I was laughing) at Madison because I was still lying in bed and she wanted me to get up and I said I was still sleeping, so she took all her dollies (all 100 of them) and lined them up next to me because "they were sleeping too". It was so cute. Then later during the day she got to ride her tricycle down to the park (obiviously, not alone). This was the first time that she's taken her trike outside the back yard. She thought she was such a big girl....Oh, that was after we went to the doctors for the sore around her mouth. She does not have impetigo. She has herpes. Don't freak out...not THOSE kind of herpes, but the herpes simplex that is associated with cold sores. She either got the cold sores passed on by me (poor baby) or when she got her fever her body was under stress (stress is what causes me to break out with cold sores). Anyways, they gave her some medication to put on the sores that you can see on her cheeks, but the sores that are in her mouth (owie) will take 5-7 days for open sores to heal. Her little mouth will still break out abit more the doctor thinks. But she says it's not way back in her throat, so that's good. Poor little girl. Do you know that she STILL doesn't yet weigh 30 lbs? She's been at 29 point something pounds for the last year I think. Everytime I weigh her I am suprised that she hasn't gained any weight. And her having cold sores does NOT help the weight matter any because she has hardly eaten anything. I feel so bad for her. The doctors have never said anything about her weight so it must be fine. I don't think her thyroid has effected her weight one way or another wether she is/was on medication or not on medication. Her weight just stays the same.

Speaking of weight...I am back on WW. But I am too afraid to weigh myself after Las Vegas. It was kind of a free-for-all with food while we were out there. I figure I'll just stick to ww for a few weeks and then weigh myself. I don't want to freak myself out too much.

Madison had her first dance class tonight. I couldn't get any good pictures of her but she was sooo fricken cute in her little leotard thingie. All the little 3 and 4 yr olds were really cute. She loved being in dance class. I was actually suprised how much she liked it. I knew she'd like to dance but she was very, very happy to be in this class. I think she feels pretty and special in her little tutu outfit that I bought her. She even let me put her hair up in a ponytail, which is rare these days. I told her that she had to wear her hair up and she said, yes-just like a ballerina. I did take video on my camera but I am not going to post it. It takes too long to post the videos and they cause my computer to crash. I will try to get some pictures of her next week. I won't let her put her outfit on unless it's dance class time. Anyways, out of all her classes (swimming, iceskating, gymnastics) this seems to be her favorite thing to do so far. She will have her dance recitial in May. That gives them 9 months to get a dance together. And you know how fricken cute that is going to be....a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds dancing. I guess this is what I have always dreamed about..having a little girl and watching her in dance. I'll be one of those overly proud parents watching their kid perform. hee hee.

Oh, guess what I made for dinner tonight? TatorTot hotdish. We had that growing up alot. mmmm, it was really good. I couldn't really remember how to make it, but I just winged it. I guess you can't really screw up a hotdish. Just throw a bunch of stuff together and since this is a tator tot hotdish, it just has to have tator tots in it. Not really sure how that fit in with my ww meal planning but I am skipping my nighttime popcorn snack just for safe measures.

Guess I should try to get to bed here pretty soon. I have been having such a hard time falling asleep and then when I do, it's because Madison wakes up and forces me to lie down with her and then I sleep crappy because I have been sleeping in her bed (I know, I know....BAD habit) with her. I have GOT to sleep in my own bed and at a decent hour. But I just am not tired you know? I am a night owl...always have been one I guess. I envy those of you who can go to bed early. Steve is one of those kind of people. Every night excatly at 10pm he goes to bed. And he falls asleep. I guess I can take my pills that I am suppose to take to fall asleep. I kind of gave up on those. Just another pill that I have to take. Don't feel like taking pills....so I don't. I don't know how well they work anyways. Kind of like the placebo effect. In the beginning I feel like they work, but after awhile it just doesn't seem to. If I take something that I KNOW will work, then I can't get up in the morning. Which I can't get up in the morning anyways, but then it's really bad. Kinda like a drugged out feeling where you feel woozy and lightheaded and can really never wake up fully once you are up. I hate that feeling. Hence me not taking those meds. Or any night time meds at that. Okay, I'll shut up about my sleep.

Cool picture of Jennie!~This is from our kickball game 2 weekends ago! We were laughing because of her shirt (I'm an american honey). She went to Vegas the day we came home. That would of been so fun to of met up in Vegas with her. Next time we'll have to plan accordingly!
I am taking Madison to the doctors tomorrow. 1:30 appt. She still has those sores around her mouth. Lynnie and Todd thought impetigo. Then Sharon (daycare) said the same thing so that is probley what it is. I guess it's highly contigious. I wonder why Steve and I haven't caught it. They look like they are healing but I still am bringing her in. Poor little girl. She hasn't eaten much these last few days because it hurts to open her mouth. It should be getting better by now. Poor little one.
Today I am going to go get her tap shoes. She starts dance tomorrow. I am really excited. I just hope she behaves. And doesn't poop her pullup. I told her she definetly needs to be fully potty trained by the time she starts dance class. This morning she said, "I am going to be pottied trained by tomorrow?" She's asking a question, not stating the statement. That's not good. 3 yr olds are definetly harder than 2 year olds. Maybe when they are 4 that's when things start turning around. She finally quit being a naughty little girl yesterday. I think she was acting out with me and Steve being gone. Maybe she feels better too. Last night was pretty cool...I just sat with her in my arms and let her fall asleep on my shoulder. She use to only do that with Steve. Now she could care less about Daddy. She is totally a mommy cling-on. Somewhere down the line that switched from Daddy to Mommy. Anyways, it was nice to have her fall asleep in my arms. I usually am moving around too much to let her just sit in my arms. I have to do that more often. She is just craving me to hold her lately. Which I love!~who wouldn't?

Happy Monday!

It ain't the weekend anymore...

get your butt back to work.

Ha, this is Steve in Vegas soaking up the sun, drinking a beer. The good ole' days.

Yea...I'm a ZenGirl! Not that any of you know what that is. It's a new creative team I am on for digiscrapping with super cool stuff....

It's a website for www.DigiNirvana.com. You should go check out their stuff if you digiscrap. It's alot like MindsEye paper. Unless you're a paper scrapper you won't know what that is. Anyways, it's my little fun thing that I do, being on the creative teams. Expecially for cool places like this. It's kinda like I made it big time in the digi world being on this creative team! Whoo hoo for me. Just means that I will get some cool free stuff to scrap with. I'll be sure to post my layouts in my blog that I do for this place.

Anyone watching the VMA awards? That would be MTV's Video Music Awards. I was so happy that Britney Spears did her little piece in the beginning of the show well. She did really good. I'm rooting for her! Actually the show is still going on but I put the little bugger to bed and now that it's MY time, I'm choosing to spend it in the computer room on my little blog! I told Steve to call me out when the people are on that I like. He's kinda like my assistant for TV tonight. ha! Anyways, I am waiting for Madonna and Justin Timberlake to perform. I'm sure they said they both were performing together tonight. Fun stuff! It's kinda fun watching music stuff. Not that I am a total music nut or anything. Far from it, but I still like my Britney and Madonna! Oh...I just thought of something...what if Britney and Justin Timberlake performed together? ohhhhh, that would be so cool!

Today me and Madison met mom and Kim and Kayla and Haley at Eden Prairie Center. It was pretty fun. We let the kiddies just play around on the kids play thing. I can't wait til Maddie gets a tad older and will actually let me look at clothes and stuff in the malls. But that's not-a-happenin' any time soon.

Here are some pictures from Tyler in Jesus Christ Superstar...

These are pretty good pictures. You can go to http://www.mnstate.edu/strawhat/photoalbum/2008.cfm to see them. I would love to be able to do a book for Ty. You know, those photobooks that I have been doing lately. I just don't have enough photos of him. Anyways, I thought these were pretty good photos!

Oh my beloved blog! Finally I am here to write in it. Well, we got back from Vegas the other day. I slept the entire fricken day on Friday. I mean the entire day. I woke up maybe 2 times. I guess I needed to recover from our Vegas trip. I bet you want to hear all about our trip, huh? Well, I came back from Vegas with 200 bucks. That's 200 more to add to saving up for my camera! Whoo hoo! Here is one of the little jackpots of Steve's... Looks pretty good huh? God, was that fun. We won 1600 quarters, which is 400 something bucks. I didn't take any pictures of my little jackpots. I once won 500 bucks. Then I won 200 bucks a few times. We did pretty good. But I was pretty happy that I came home with some money. We gambled alot. Won alot but gambled alot. We mostly played slots. We both played a bit of roulette and did pretty good on that. Well, maybe even on roulette. Steve played black jack too and pretty much evened out on that.

We stayed at the Golden Nugget which is downtown. You know what is funny? We never even saw the downtown light show. Steve saw 1/2 of one but I was on the roulette tables and couildn't pick up to run outside. Wierd that we never saw the show after being down there. Anyways, the Golden Nugget is pretty nice to stay at. The pool was awesome. Look at some of these pictures of us swimming. We are in the shark tank. Looks like the sharks are swimming right with us...

We took a ton of photos in the pool because it was so cool being in the shark tank. There was also a huge waterslide that went right through the sharks which was pretty cool. And fast. That last picture of us I look pretty busty in. Just a little fyi for ya.

We also went to go see Louie Anderson one night. That was pretty fun. I took a photo of him at the end. Not sure if you can bring cameras in there, but you know me...if it has to do with a camera and breaking the rules, then watch out!

We also went and saw a show called "Defending the Caveman" which was pretty funny. We didn't really go see any "vegasy type of shows" which was fine with me. Maybe next time we go then I'll want to see something vegasyish.

We just spent most of our time out at the pool and gambling. What Vegas is meant to be. The bummer of the trip is that I had a headache the ENTIRE time we went out there. I was hurting most of the time and trying to pretend that I didn't have one. Maybe that's why I slept all day yesterday. It takes a lot out of you to have a headache that long.

Here is my favorite photo of us this trip:

I like that photo....Don't ask me why cuz it doesn't even show we are at Vegas!

Nana, thank you SOOOO much for watching the little munchkin while we were gone! We both appreciate it so much and are greatful that you could spend 4 days (and 3 glorious nights) with Madison. I know Madison was happy to spend some time with her Nana. Sorry that she got sick. Yes, our poor little girl got sick for the first time EVER while we were gone. Meaning throwing up sick. She's never thrown up in her life. Not even as a little baby did she ever get sick. Poor Nana. Poor, Poor Nana who never got even a little break from Madison while we were gone. All I can keep on saying is "Poor Poor Nana". We feel so bad that it was hectic for you.

Oh, they made us a awesome "welcome back" sign that was a great suprise! I'll have to post that soon because I am trying to download my photos and I see that the last 200 were not deleted so it's going to take a ton of time to get them downloaded.

Right now Auntie Lynnie is babysitting Madison. We were going to go down to the Farm (Jimmy and Alexis's) but instead we are babysitting Todd and Maria's doggie Toby. But we are kinda waiting on Lynnie to call us and pick up Madison because she's been sooo crabby since we've been home. She's got a bad cold sore on her mouth and plus she still isn't feeling so great. But it's already 7:30 and she hasn't called yet. We'll just wait. She planned on doing a sleep over but I don't think that it's going to happen. But I am suprised that she hasn't called yet for us to pick her up.

Oh...I got the photos downloaded already so here's the cute sign that they made for us...

Isn't it cute? Nana (and Madison) worked so hard on it! We love it. I am sure we'll keep it up for this whole week!

Today we went to a little church carnival. It was okay. Just okay because Madison was so crabby that we had to go home. Here she is petting one of the animals.

Well, Steve is making us steaks on the grill so I should probley get going. Tomorrow I start back on Weight Watchers to lose what ever weight I gained while on our Vegas trip. That was really fun. Too bad we couldn't of stayed longer but I would of had a hard time staying away from Madison any longer than I did. Same with Steve I am sure. We missed our little girl. Bye for now!

I bought these worn photo overlays and think they are the coolest thing since slice bread...lookie, lookie....they make the photos look old and worn.....I LOVE them!

Aren't those beautiful? I think so! Oh, how exciting! I LOVE them. I am sure I'll be using those on all my photos now! FUN stuff!

So, yesterday we had our kickball game. Only 2 major injuries. One requiring surgery. Not bad for a bunch of late 30/40 yr olds, huh? Seriously, the injuries were bad. One sprained calf muscle...got carried off the field, and one torn achielle's heel tendon who also got carried off the field. Both were in Urgent Care last night. Other than that, we had a blast! Here are some photos...

Here is Team Jennie...

Team Lynnie...

Later on we switched up team and had new captains...Here is Team Kelly. I didn't get a photo of Team Kim.

Below is injury #1. She's the one with the snapped achillies tendon. Can you say ouch? She'll be in surgery soon.

And this is the other injury...a sprained calf. Just like I did mine and then Kim did. We could symthasize with her.

Then we all went back to our house and partied until 10pm. It was really a fun day and night. It's been a long time since we've all gotten together!

And then mine and Kim's self portrait!

Well, I have been up since 5am. I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. I am going to go meet my mom and Lynnie at Panera Bread in Plymouth this morning for coffee. Should be fun. I love getting up early and going somewhere. Which, I know, is unlike me to do, but that doesn't mean that I don't like getting up. I want to play more with my new overlays but Madison woke up abit ago and wants me to watch cartoons with her so I'll go out there in a minute. Oops, she calling now so I better go! Bye.

Oh..we are waiting for Nana to arrive today to come watch Madison while we go to Vegas. I am super excited to go right now! Mom gave me 30 bucks to try and win her a million in Las Vegas. I'll call her as I am gambling so it'll be fun for her to see if I do anything with her money. I am excited to lay at the pool and go gambling. It'll be fun. I wish I could blog while I was up there. I'd never to go to sleep then, but that's okay cuz it's the town that never sleeps. Kinda like me!
