Wondering

I sit here wondering if I am ready for Christmas. The kids have reminded me that I only have 6 days left. (that can't be right) I have put everything off until now. I only have half of what wanted to do, done. I had spent most of my time with the Sweet 16 party I haven't had time to focus on Christmas shopping. I don't even know what I need to shop for.

I am in a panic!

One good thing is I got my tree up and decorated. Yay ME!

Isn't it Sweet to be Sixteen!

3rd Place

This Saturday Devin got 3rd place in wrestling. The kid in this round was like a gorilla, so you can guess how this one ended. That would be him all twisted on the bottom. It was lot more fun to watch then I thought it was going to be. You know 100 smelly, sweaty boys rolling around on a mat did not sound like it was something I wanted to witness, but it was very entertaining. I am more of a football kind a gal. I think I can expand my horizons though and get into the wrestling thing too.

"Sweet Sixteen"

I can hardly believe it myself. My little baby girl is dating. Aahhhhhhh! She already has her first date Saturday afternoon. I over heard John telling his sister that we have had to start an appointment book so that she can keep track of all of her dates, because the boys will be knocking on the door non stop. (oh Heaven help me if that ever becomes a fact) I think I am feeling more anxiety with this then with the driving thing. It is happening way to fast.

She is having a BIG party to celebrate on Saturday with her friends here at the house.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUDRIANA!

Family fun

Ahhh, home agian!

We are back from a very long week without our Internet. Man talk about not being able to breath. It nearly killed me not knowing what was going on. How I ever got along with out it I will never understand. John wanted the office in a different room and well needless to say all kinds of things went wrong and hence no Internet.

Update on the the DaSilva's is this, Tamye and her family spent Thanksgiving with us for a whole 4 days. I know... it was heaven on earth. I had fun kicking back taking it easy, well not totally easy we did do the 4:00am Black Friday thing and went all day until we had nothing more to give. Then we spent the rest of the weekend laughing and getting on our husbands nerves with our loud cackling (as they call it) It was worth every minute. We then did a photo shoot out in Dona Ana and took some family pics. It was fun and I am very pleased with what was taken. Thanks Sis. Then we said our sad good byes and look forward to the next visit which is on the 12th Audriana's 16th birthday. We are having a party like she has never had before. I have made 100 invitations for her to hand out to her friends, and she thinks she may need more.....

Anyway I have hired a DJ and cleaned the yard and still working on my house. John said he should have my hall bathroom finished by this weekend. Cross your fingers, I know I will be.
