I know its been a while....

Wow today was finally one of those days I could catch up on everything. I know I act like I am sooo busy ha ha! But there has been alot going on these last couple of weeks. Still no excuse to ignore all my fans! Ha ha! Since the blizzard we are still waiting for all the snow to melt. Makes washing your vehicle a lost cause around here. But Josh did clean up my pick and its looking pretty shiny! We have been trying to help with my moms wedding as much we can and just trying to keep up with the regular day in and day out mumbo jumbo!

Haley is doing well. She got to put on her pretty purple dress for grandmas wedding which was last night. You could just tell the minute she put it on she felt like a princess. She danced all night and even sang two songs at the wedding in front of everyone. Which even though you couldn't understand what she was saying and of course she did know all the words, it was just awesome that she got up and sang and wasn't worried about what anyone thought. It was one of the highlights of my night. She gets to be the "Star of the Week," from the 24th of November to the 5th of December at school so she is pumped about that!

Brady is pretty good too. He also got his groove on last night. They are both fabulous dancers. (Obviously they get that from me, Josh is a little stiff on the dance floor!) He has been asking to watch football alot which to be honest frightens me... I'm just hoping he doesn't take after his dad, when it choosing a team. I dont want him to be the kids with the bad team colors, giggle! He has also taken a liking to Action Characters like Iron Man and the Hulk. He wakes up some morning and says where my Iron Man mom!

Josh is good. He is just gearing up to take that big Tech test which I am sure he is ready to get over with. Everyone say a little prayer for him. He has been studying since February or so and I just hope it all pays off for him. But regardless we will love him even if it doesn't all pan out.

I am too am swell. Just getting my Christmas shopping going and feeling ready for some Turkey and Pie! I will try and get back in the groove of this blog deal, but we all know how the holidays go so we will see.
Hope Everyone is doing well. Until next time take care everyone! Also a big huge Congratulations to my mom and Kevin. We are happy for you! Ciao! Lindsey

Just some more pics!!!

Holy Blizzard!!!

Wow here we are day two of being snowed in...well we shoveled our way...wait scratch that, Josh shoveled us out! Honestly I don't think any of us could have handled another day of being couped up inside, we had run out of ideas and things to do to keep the kids occupied. Our nerves and patience for one another was wearing thin and we really needed to get out! We couldn't even see out of the windows until this morning. They were all pretty much iced over. But when we were able to see outside, the were drifts taller than Haley and it looked like a mess. Oh and of course the city and the county said a big no to plowing our street, sheesh where are my tax dollars going!

Finally able to go out our first stop was Target to of course get the necessary gear you know for sledding! So we picked up the kids new coats, snow pants, hats, gloves, boots and sleds! You know the cool saucer ones from when I was young!! Woot woot.

So now here we are happier that we all got some fresh air and even though it was cold it was so nice to know we didn't have to sit inside and decide what we were going to watch or what we were going to eat next... what is it anyway with cold weather and eating. Pretty sure if I was left alone with any kind of pie I would just park my tush on the couch and go to town!

Brady is napping away right now so he can get up and venture out for his first sledding experience. Haley has taken off to play with the neighborhood kids. Josh is outside shoveling still! Me I'm just blogging ha ha why am I inside... anyways I am going to post some pictures and a video of the kids. Also one picture of just how bad the roads were, Homestead street almost didnt even exist!! Hope everyone is well! Love Lindsey

Hallovember!!!

Well its November already...crazy I know. Seems like I lost half the year somewhere! Probably has something to do with the Josh being gone and not ever really feeling whole, if that makes sense. But he is home, actually got back home on Thursday which was a huge relief. The kids needed him home, its just better to have a mom and a dad to drive nuts.

We went Trick or Treating last night. Which was a success. I was so worried we wouldn't be able to find something Brady would keep on but after two attempts at either a football player or an M&M we finally decided on a pirate which Haley actually wore two years ago. He looked super cute. Josh painted on a little beard. He liked the shoe covers which were made to look like boots and he was diggin on the hat I could tell. He went from house to house with his pal Alex and it was so cute to hear them say Trick or Treat and then thanks. We did about 10 houses which I thought was a pretty big deal, because he is only 2 after all.

Haley looked amazing. She was a vampire. Josh actually did her make-up too, mine just wasn't good enough. But it did turn out allot cuter I have to admit. Good to know he has something to fall back on when he gets out of the Air Force (Make-Up Artist to the Stars, I can see it now!). Haley went around the neighborhood with her most favorite cousin Kortney. She had a good time. She came home and picked through her candy and let me know I could have all the reject candy! I look forward to this day now all year nothing like sending your kid around the neighborhood to get you some candy!

Now here we are and I am looking forward to the Holidays always nice to get together with the family, no matter how stressful that can be, ha ha! Haley cant wait for Josh to put up the Christmas lights, speaking of that he really should have done that today, its beautiful out. But that would be a little too ambitious for Josh, as he is napping right now. I guess he will have to deal with the 15-20 degree difference when he decides to do that.

Needless to say we are doing well and happy to be back together making each other laugh and drive each other crazy. Nothing like more laundry!!! Welcome back Josh!! Ha ha. I am going to also put on here a video of Alex and Brady riding bikes in the garage after the we went around the neighborhood, its just funny to watch them. You will see Josh and Chris helping them when they wreck and not tip over. Keep in mind this video is not for the queasy!

Everyone take care until next time....

Love Lindsey :)
