Happy 4th

Just wishing everyone a happy 4th of July and a safe weekend if anyone else is traveling like us. We are heading out to New Hampshire first this Friday morning. We will be celebrating Marissa's 12th bday in NH and catching more fireworks after the baseball game.

Tonite there are fireworks at the Lake and we are going with Zachary, while Marissa goes to her friends to watch them. After will be a task getting back to her friends to pick her up. Oh well it will get done and we will go on.

I will be back to post some pics on Monday of our trip. Until then every please stay healthy and safe. SPeaking of healthy we are all feeling better after that stomach bug went through my whole house. Boy I hate being sick because I still feel that need to do all my normally chores and tasks around the house even though the DH says he will do it. I figure its my job and I will get it done.

We have a sick house

Yeppers we have a strain of the flu going through my house right now. Nothing worse than being sick in the summer time. It all started out with 1 of my daycare children being sick the end of last week, then the family sent her on Monday saying she was fine and dandy.....well to make a long story short (and spare you the details) she was not and I had to send her home early. Well Mom called to say she wasn't feeling good either and going home to rest. Well Tuesday came and the mom was still sick, Wednesday both of my kiddos where at there games/practice and came home complaining of a stomache. Well by 10 pm Marissa was sick we finally got her to sleep about Midnight and up again at 2 am. Then bey 4:15 am Zachary was up with it. I was going to call my parents and tell them my kids where sick, but I thought you know what they send their kids sick and this is my house so they can "Deal" with it. Well I didn't really have to worry because 2 other moms called me and said the kids wouldn't be coming because the kids had a fever and vomitting. So there you go they are all passing it to each other. Well the dad of the sick one I mentioned earlier brought his daughter on Thursday am and said if you need anything call me because I will be home sick with this flu/bug thats going around.

Well its not Friday am and Thursday afternoon went good for both of my kids no getting sick, just relaxed and watched a couple movies so Marissa wanted to go to her soccer game and cheer her team on but not play, so I thought that would be ok she felt better. Well the team lost they where actually short 1 player because other kids where sick. Now being Friday am, Zachary started getting sick all over again. I just went through yesterday and bleached things to disinfect now I have to do it again and I will be leaving for school this afternoon and not coming back till Sunday. Thank god for a great daddy to take care of him and tonite he is going to his grandmas house so he will get all the TLC he needs.

I hope everyone at the other end of this stays healthy and has a great weekend. We will be preparing for Marissa's 12th bday next weekend. We asked her what she wanted to do for a party she mentioned have it at the ball park. Well its $14 per person and I just know having it there parents will want to be there and bring there family and how do you really ask someone you have to pay yourself? I really didn't want to pay all that money for "extras" so we decided to go away for 3 days for a mini vacation. She is excited because we will catch a couple baseball games, get to see fireworks 2 nights in a row, and she will get to go shopping at a different mall. What else could a girl want? Well with Marissa only god knows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will keep you posted as to how that weekend goes and what she gets good for her bday. (We know most of it already, she just doesn't know. Man I hated being a kid and having people say that, but now paybacks I get to say it.) LOL

Kelley's Wedding

On Saturday June 21, 2008 at 4 pm Kelley and Julius (Jay) finally tied the knot. The wedding and reception where both held at the Holiday Inn, in Auburn on a gorgeous Sunny day, until it was time for pictures then the rain came pouring down. Our MOTHER had worked something up for the transportation to Hoopes for pictures, which scared the SHIT out of Kelley at first. Mary had Dan Emmi from the Auburn Police Dept. there in uniform and with his fleet of antique police cars. Kelley, Jay, Stephan (best man) & myself (matron honor) where in the front in the Paddy Wagon. Zachary got all nerveous and thought they where taking us away, so the ring bearers and little Jay & J'anne got to go with us also. If you could just see the look on her face when she saw the cop and he asked for them you would die. Dan says to us "If you where to put that on Funny Home videos I bet you would win something" I can't wait to get the pictures from the photographer so we can see the actual look. That Damn Mary can really pull off some crap when she wants to. LOL

Here are some pictures and sorry for the blur to some of them, but thats what happens when you let a 12 yr old have the camera to take pictures and not pay attention to the fact if she hit a button to change the type of pictures being taken. But oh well there will be plenty of pictures to go around. Thanks Marissa for taking the pictures for me otherwise I would have to wait till others share theirs.

Kelley looking so pretty, especially when she smiles


Waiting at Hoopes hoping the rain will let up so we can get some nice pictures. Jay thought this would be a nice shot under the umbrella so we took it. Hey it might be better than the photographers pictures.

Doing the deed.

The Saurini Family (don't mind Marissa she came straight from her softball game.)


Zachary & his nonnie Judi & Papa Tony. Isn't he the cutest thing?


Wednesday night was Zachary's preschool graduation. It hard to believe that he will be entering Kindergarten in September already. He is ready and keeps asking if its time to go yet. I keep telling him don't rush it honey because you have many years ahead of you for education enjoy this play time while you have it. The Y had a little graduation ceremony for the kids and cake afterwards. I just love how cute they are in their little caps.

Marissa

1st soccer game this season....oh no did it go in?




Playing 3rd base in 1st softball game of the season.

I can hit...............just pitch it to me.



Just doing a update on Marissa. She is now officially going into the 7th grade. Where has the time gone? In 2 weeks she will be 12. I can still remember the day when I had her. She was a tiny little thing and cute as a button. Well as 12 yrs has passed she has only gotten prettier, but man she has got LEGS!!!!!!!!! She is almost as tall as myself and still growing. Pretty soon we will be wearing the same size tops, and shoes, which could be a good thing for me but not for her. Who wants to see there mom in their clothes right?

Posting a few pictures of her recently.

Nursing School

Well for those of you that don't know, I started my official trek to Nursing School. I arrived on Friday afternoon to a pig pen of a dorm room. Yup....not cleaned at all I swear the girls before hand just took what they wanted and left everything else. Well it was 90 out and no AC so I spent 2 hours before class emptying the actual dorm out and then cleaning. I am so glad I brought my bleach/water mixture. People where walking by and laughing because of the smell of bleach. Oh well I was cleaning before I stayed there. After about 2 hrs of me cleaning my room mate showed up and she is awesome. Very funny, and better yet a spanish teacher for highschoolers. She is going to come in handy for when Marissa starts taking Spanish next year. Thank God because I don't know the first thing about spanish.

Well we went to class and it was very nerve wrecking at first, but then ok for me atleast. Alot of this weekend was review for me seeing I was a CNA and done things such as make a bed, occupied & unoccupied, peri-wash, fire safety, restraints, and so on. I'm sure the next weekend I go will be a whirlwind for me.

Anyway, after a long weekend I was able to come home to a clean house and that made me feel great, and thankful for a wonderful family. Not only for cleaning, but allowing me to take this road in my life. Thanks goes out to all of the family & friends that are supporting me with this next 2 years of crazy schedules for me to become a RN.
