EVERY THURSDAY!

well every Thursday we make pancakes..any kind of pancakes..sometimes they turn out great sometimes Michael will say "we'll try again next week mom!" well I'm running out of ideas..so the past Thursday we came up with this one. a tailless Cinnamon turtle with turtle sprinkles inside..the kids said they were delicious!

My big date night!!

So my son over heard me talking to a friend how i miss going out on "date nights" with my hubby! when i got off the phone he told me "mommy i'll take you on a date!" i said "well we have to get a sitter for the girls and then im all yours!" well it happend! mom and dad took the girls to mama santa's and Michael and i we're off to our date! he wore a nice shirt with his fav jeans..put dads colonge and deoderant on! We had a awesome dinner at our favorite "Maggiano's" and the best part was when michael told the waitress "can you tell uncle David Michael's here!!" We always feel special when uncle Davids visits us at our table!! (shhh!!! he's kinda a big deal!!) On the way home we visited gma o!
we had a great night!!! he was very sweet with me!! ya gotta luv those mamas boys!!

looking back

I had this big grand plan when my hubby left for the army!! TO STAY BUSY!! I thought the more activities we were involved in the better..I wanted to do things I've been wanting to do..well things changed. I tend to run myself down all the time. Everyday i ran into fighting depression over the situation of my husband being gone..trying to wrap my head around being alone. It's one thing to be alone because you or the other person aren't in love anymore but when your crazy in love with each other, the minutes go by like hours. Besides the marriage and the birth of our beautiful children seeing mike graduate from basic training was exciting, emotional, and a little awkward!! One of the best moments for our family!! He changed a lot and it was a lot to take in, in one day with him. It was a very sad farewell. AIT turned out to be better. we talk every night and have even managed getting frustrated and have fought.. So now i know, yes you still can fight a 1000 miles apart!! crazy!! The end of may i cried for a few days considering taking Michael out of private school..We have issues we need to address and is hoping public schooling will be the answer..hoping!! I will truly miss his school but i will not miss washing navy blue pants and light blue shirts!! He's very excited about wearing jeans and crocs to school!! also i forgot to add, their going to the school i went to when i was little.. it was an excellent school then and still is!!

Like every Ohioan we're always sad to see summer go but this year i want it gone!! I fly out to San Antonio for a week and to finally bring my love home!!
