Making time....

So today i made time to go see my girlfriend Angela and her NEW place!!!  We go to church together and have known each other now for about 9 or 10 years (?) 

She just got married in February and my girlfriend Ronayln took her wedding photos.

Here are one of my favorites;)  

Her and I hung out today and i had to take photos of some of the cute things in her place and some of the good ideas she had done 

I love it !!!!

This is a photo of us on my birthday few years ago (we still look the same)

I got this bright idea to get our ears priced for the third time

What was I thinking (i crack up every time I see this photo lol!!!)

I'm a wimp to pain lol!!!!

Anyway back to the house

how cute is this its in her dinning-room

here she took scrap-booking paper and mod podged it to the letters

cute;)

These are the colors in her living-room

and the cool vase she had...too cute

this was in the hall way before the dinning room

good use of space

just simple things

had to show you another angle

(i love the black and white)

she is still working on her upstairs but she painted this canvas and put the colors she

wanted on it...

what a great idea when you can't fine the picture your looking for 

make it your self

and the perfect circles were made from things around her place like plates, cups, candles, etc.

You can also do this on you walls to fill up space;0

Then we went to eat and i think I talked to whole time lol?!

Thanks girl for hanging out had a great time;)

Its a Secret mom....

Sorry about the photos they were from Rick's phone:

Rick always loves doing things for us and only telling one of us its called

"A Surprise" some of us guess and some just go with the flow(that would be me)

I think Rick gets a kick out of it lol...

Yesterday Rick called before he gets out of work (as always) to ask

me if I had plans... I say NO but I was thinking 

before I could get it out he said don't cook (I'm liking this surprise already lol)and

be ready @ 6:15pm.  Then he tells Hunter the plan but his lips are sealed lol!!!

So we get some thing to eat @ Taco Bell and we are off to

West High School to see 

THE JUNGLE BOOK LIVE!!!! 

(this was the stage)

How awesome it was and to think this is high school students !!!

The kids were speechless, speechless i say lol....(even Olivia)

After we were able to talk and take photos with the cast and they

were so nice to the kids.

This was one of the Monkey's

her name was Olivia too!

here is one of the Wolfs and Dragonfly

This guy was great he was Bagheera

this was Baloo (he was funny)

the boy of the hour Mowgli (Hunter liked him)

oh the elephants were great (olivia loved making all the animal sounds)

let me tell you this kid was a trip not only was he an crocodile but he did most of his acting walking around on the ground then he would get up and start dancing with the rest of the cast

but off beat OMGoodness it was worth paying the $7 just to see him lol!!!!!

As you could see all the costumes were hand made not bought from a costume store

I really liked that part. 

When I was in school we did not have any thing like this i would

so love for Olivia to do something like that

she would so do good being the Crocodile lol!!!

Any way if you get a chance I so recommend it what a nice way to spend family time!!!!  

Hanging out with some friends!!!

So today was one of those days FRIDAY!!!!lol

Our girl friend Paula invited us over her place for some scraping and coffee (yummy pumkin spice)but you know what happens when you get girls together!!lol

Here is her cUte girl (Kylie) with Ronalyn...who is extra exciteded about going to Seattle

with her hubby(1st time ever with out the kids)!!!

Hunter took a snap shot of us;)

Looking @ some Digital scrap stuff

Me and Kylie (she is saying "cheese"lol

and calling me Mrs. Goosie..lol

Ron look @ the camera....

The kids in Kylie's room playing

Here is the "iMac" girls!!!lol

Then it was time to say bye and take Hunter to his swimming lessons

That he has been doing w/o Olivia (so proud of him)!

He is doing so good he is an advance pike!

(Olivia is swimming too and is an Eel now! Rick has been taking

her and keeps forgetting to take the camera)

There is only 4 kids in his class (which Hunter loves)

He had to take a bathroom brake and he is cold!!lol

The teacher let him swim to the edge of the pool with a little push

I thought Hunter was going to freak out.  I could see the look on his face like he was about to panic but I acting like every thing was good then he gave me a smile.  Later at home he brought it up and I played it off and said "really! good job Hunter!"  He just looked at me and smiled...and the whole time I so wanted to say I was nervous about it too but I held it together and he had no idea.  I'm sure it will be some thing I tell him when he is all grown up;) 

VOTE HERE.....

Awww I love the first snow fall.....

So have any of you heard of the "WebkinZ"?

Who would of thunk that this cute little furry pup would bring a little

girl so much happiness;)

One of the ladies @ Rick work gave this cute little pup to Olivia

she named it "Pockets" you can play games, make (play)money to go shopping, and feed your pup it is so much fun!!!!

r in real life lol)

Even Rick got in on helping her make more money

(i wonder if he'll do this for her in real life lol)

Hunter just likes to see Olivia play all the games

Plus he was sick all day yesterday;(

So thought i would capture me going to do my citizen duties yesterday lol!!!

this is me in the booth...

"wondering can you get in trouble for this?"

I look so tired I think i have the case of the SADS going on!!!

and everything that comes with it

I NEED SOME SUN SHINE!!!! lol

My Cup Runneth Over!!!

I'm have been @ church for the last week(Wed.-Sun).  We had a "REVIVAL" at my church (Victory Christian Center 907 East Dowling) with a good friend of the fam Pastor Carnegie he is from the Arizona area.  What an awesome time we had with him here God so moved on so many life's.  IT WAS ALL GOD!!!!!

We had him over on Saturday for an early dinner before church that nite.  Rick cooked us a wonderful dinner(i for got to take photos) but we had green beans sautéed w/garlic, mash potatoes,caribou stake w/cherry sauce over it and corn bread.

There is only one thing to say after that 

yummy!!

I felt like my cup was half empty with thing going on in my life

after this revival I have to say my cup runneth over.  I'm over flowing with God goodness and love...He has changed me in so many different ways its not even funny.  A lot of

people think that they can do any thing (solve there problems) but they

forget that God is the one who gave them life and with out him

WE ARE NOTHING!!!

I totally thank God every day for my salvation;)

Thought i would share this photo with you its so funny

the other day I was making my Mocha and after

putting my coffee in it this is what I saw.....

  

doesn't look like a "TURKEY"?  lol!!!!!!!
