Rain Rain GO AWAY...

Man, will it ever stop - we cancelled our Girl Scout Day Camp due to weather and it is STILL raining...yuck...enough is enough!! although it was nice, I went to lunch with some mamas from DAM. That was nice, Christina picked me and mckinlee up and so we got some girlie time!

Hope everyone had a great VDay!! we Did, my mom went to Tanners Party since his and McKinlee was at the same time, I had to be at McKinlees being room mom - each child did a poem then we made pop tart post cards and played picture bingo, i think the kids had fun! then we ordered out Applebees and got out the FINE China!! I have had my Great Grandmothers china since I got married, haven't used them once...so we did - and nothing was broken YAYYY!! the kids LOVED it we had candles and flowers too!! sooo sweet!!

Tomorrow we are heading to Medieval Times, so to prepare Chris and McKinlee watched Cable Guy (remember they go there in the movie) we are leaving Tanner with my mom, so hopefully we can have some fun! the Plan is to get McKinlee and her friend Chance knighted :)

Take Care, thoughts going out to Chelsea Grandpa...Love to you both and your family!! I think of you all the time, girlie!! (((HUG)))

Everyone sleep well and stay safe!! - HUGS

WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!

Well I blogged the other day and posted and it said can not maintenance and then POOF gone :(....

Basically - I was super proud of the kids...McKinlee had midyear reading test ...and testing at a level 18 which is 2nd grade **yyyaayy** and Tanner shocked me the other day by counting in SPANISH!! almost all the way 1-10!! Then I mentioned I was trying to talk chris into going to Disney world....

WELL... a Few days later...

IT IS BOOKED!!! We are going...we usually just stick around here - San Antonio and Corpus once but really we haven't been on a major family vacation...Tanner didn't go with us Hollywood...and Chris didn't go with us to Disneyland...Im a bit nervous as Chris isn't a theme park guy - or at least he doesn't claim to be...so who knows!! But I am determined to have GREAT trip!! So watch out, Im sure you will be hearing a LOT about it soon! SO I appologize now for all of it!!

Not much else going on, McKinlee ended up selling 360 boxes of GS cookies *yikes* but I am so proud of her!! she did a lot of that on her own! I am really getting into Yearbook, I have to get that done in the next 1.5 months...So i am gonna be busy busy with all that and McKinlees BDay coming soon! Wish me luck!!

Hope everyone had a great groundhog day!! looks like 6 more weeks of WINTER...which would be bad if we could get one nice weekend of just SNOW!! Tanner hasn't really got to see snow!
