Sweetberry

Ok so the other day I was catching up on every ones blog when I came across Laura's and she had posted about this cool new frozen yogurt place here in Clarksville called Sweetberry's. As it so happened Elyssa was reading along with me and asked if we could go and check it out. I told her I would talk to daddy about it and we would see. So I did and we decided since the kids have been pretty good so far this week that we would take them. So we went and got our big ole cups picked out our flavor of frozen yogurt and then topped it. Me, Dale and Dj all got the NY cheesecake and Elyssa got Vanilla. Then I topped mine with one small piece of cheesecake and some strawberry's. While everyone else piled on the toppings. It was really good and not to bad on the price either. I think it was something like 49 cents per ounce. I think it is definitely some place we will visit again. It was a big hit with all of us.

Catching up

So I have been a little busy lately and have not been keeping up with my blog. Man I am getting bad at that. I need to do it everyday but I just cant bring myself to get on the computer everyday. Anyway I am going to get caught up today.

So I left off with Thursday the 8th- I got up today and did a little cleaning then waited for Elyssa to get home from her sleep over at Victoria's house. Then I got my stuff together and headed over to Diana's house for our weekly scrapbooking day. It was great. I did a really pretty layout but couldn't finish it because Elaine forgot a couple of things. We will finish it next week. I can't wait to add it to my book. After that I came home and cleaned some more then spent the rest of the day hanging out with the kids and Dale.

Friday the 9th- Nothing great happened today. I was going to go to Dwa but got up to late so instead I went to the pool at my house and did my workout there. It was a good workout and I didn't have to compete for space. It was nice. After that I really didn't do much. We had our family game night and had a blast.

Saturday the 10th- Today I got the cleaning bug big time. I deep cleaned my bedroom and my craft area as well as my kitchen. I got rid of all the dishes in my kitchen except for four of every dish. Man it looks so nice in my cabinets now. After the kitchen I went to work on my pantry and found out that I have more food storage than I thought. That's always a good thing I think. After organizing everything I started on my craft area. I had a plastic tote full of throw blankets that just sit there. Man who needs that many blankets anyway. I had the kids pick just one each and gave the rest to goodwill. Then I pulled all of my cross stitching things out of the drawers by the computer and put them in the plastic bin and stored them in my room since that is my winder hobby. No need to have it out taking up space all year around when I don't use it all the time right. Right. In the middle of cleaning out my scrapbooking stuff I remembered that I was suppose to go to Julia's house for her Tupperware party. So I loaded but the wooden doll house that Elyssa no longer plays with and headed over to Julia's. It was a lot of fun but I couldn't stay long. I was just itching to get back to my house and finish cleaning my stuff up. I finally finished and headed to bed at about 1:30am.

Sunday the 11th- This brings us to the end of the week. I didn't do a whole lot today. I finished up with the last minute things that needed to be gone through and the deep cleaning of the rest of the house by about 3:00 in the afternoon. Needless to say I didn't go to church that day. The cleaning just needed to be done and I couldn't have sat through church and really comprehend what was going on anyway so I just stayed home. After everything was all done I finally sat down and relaxed enough to finally have our family meeting. It went well I think. After all that was done I got a call from my Mother asking if it would be ok to send the girls out here early and let them start school while she finished packing up the house with the boys. I talked it over with Dale and we both agreed that that would be fine so my two little sisters will be living with me for about 5 months while my mother finishes up in California and moves out here. I am really excited about this. As well as the kids. It will be so nice to have family so close again.

Well that's all for now.....blog at you later.

Headaches

Today wasn't a great day. I woke up with a really bad headache and just couldn't get rid of it at all. I took Tylenol and took a nap and everything I tried failed. I was grouchy all day thanks to my headache and on top of it all Dale had the same headache from yesterday today. Poor guy. He did go to work cause we really can't afford for him to miss anymore work. I wish that wasn't an issue but for now it is. Although we may have a good lead on a job for him but the downfall is that he would be gone for six months at a time and only home for one month. But its great pay and would totally eliminate all our money stress. But its not final yet and so we go on with our everyday lives. Keep your fingers crossed and us in your prayers that he gets the job cause we could really use it at this point. Well I am bowing out early tonight thanks to this stupid headache that wont go away.

Lazy Daisy Day

Not to much happened today. We all slept in today and it felt great. We didn't do a whole lot of things today. Mostly it was a Lazy Daisy Day. There wasn't much fighting today either. Dale, the kids and myself all went down and swam for about an hour and a half and then came home and chilled for the rest of the day. Dale didn't go to work tonight cause he wasn't feeling well. I hope he isn't getting sick cause I really don't want to be sick. I got a call from my sisters in California today. They really want to come out and see me but with the summer being almost over I really doubt my mom is going to send them out. Either way I really miss them bunches. All of them not just my sisters. Well its getting late and I am a bit tired so I think I will end it here.

A perfect day so to speak

Today was a good day. I got up and went to my Dwa class and got a butt kicking. It felt great. I love when Christie kicks our butts. Most would disagree with me but I love it. That's why I keep going back. If it didn't work I wouldn't go. Anyway after class I came home and cleaned up the house then took Dale and the kids including Elyssa's friend Victoria down to our pool at the apt and let them swim for a couple of hours. Then Victoria went home and we went food shopping. When we got home and everything was put away we spent the rest of the day playing games and watching a couple of movies together. I have to say it was a perfect day. The kids didn't fight with each other at all and we all laughed and had a good time together. I wish all of our days were like this one. I do have to say though I am ready for them to go back to school. They really do get bored way to easy during the summer. I told them that I can't remember once as a child ever being bored. We always just used our imaginations and came up with a new game or something to bide our time until dinner. Of course we also lived in a neighborhood and time when you didn't have to really worry about people stealing your kid or doing something worse to them. This generation just has way to many things to worry about. So what happens we end up having to entertain them all the time and they loose their imagination. Oh well I guess its a cross all parents have to bare these days. I am pooped so I am going to keep it short tonight.

Saying goodbye Isiaha / Nothing important

We didn't do a whole lot today. I went to my DWA class and the kids played in the Kids zone while Dale worked out in the gym. After that we went and got a little bit of food shopping done and then went to say goodbye to James and Isiaha. They are moving back to Utah for a couple of years while they sort out a few things and then they plan to return to live here permanently. I will miss that little boy so much but I know his mommy will be happy to see him everyday. After all that we came home and Dale and the kids swam for a couple of hours while I straitened up the house. Then we had to call our resident computer guy to come and once again fix our Internet. After everything was done I made dinner and now we are all going to bed early.

that's all for now....blog at you later.

a day out/ new phones

Ok so today was a great day out. We hung out together as a family and just had a great time. We went to go and update our account at At&t to add two more lines. one for each of the kids. They have been begging for a phone of their own for awhile now so we decided it was time since they are both so independent now. We need to be able to get in touch with them when we need them. So anyway we went to the store to buy the kids' phones and found out that they were having a sale on Blackberrys since it was the end of the month. So we ended up buying two blackberrys with the Otter Box cases for twenty bucks each and gave the kids our old phones. It was a great deal. I have been wanting a new phone for awhile now so I was happy with the upgrade. As was Dale. Now its the fun time of really learning how to use it. Plus I found out that I can download apps on my phone so I am going to try and get my scriptures on my phone. Anyway I need to go for now.
