Labor DAY

Wow so Labor day was a week ago, and I'm way behind on my blogging..last week just got away from me. So here's a quick re-cap of our fun filled weekend...

We started off by heading up to our family cabin on Saturday, then finishing off the night by going to a Rodeo...that was so much fun!

Sunday we relaxed and drove up to Smith and Moorehouse so that Andy could throw rocks in the lake...yes he really wanted to do this BADLY!



We drove home that night and got up early Monday to start off our 'no work' Monday. After a quick trip to the mall in search of the perfect Halloween costume we met up with Andy's family for a fun afternoon at Classic Skating...I know sounds a little ghetto but it was a blast!



Andy zipped around with Bo on his skates...



While Marcus soared around with Nash on the scooter...



Us pregnant ladies had to sit out, but we had a great time talking! I love talking with Heidi, she always knows how to make me laugh!!!



Finishing up the day with the "Chicken Dance!"
Then we met up with everyone at Olive Garden for some much needed dinner.
It was a great day! I was so tired by the time I got home, I feel asleep on the couch within seconds of sitting down.

High School TAG!!!

So I was a little unsure if I wanted to do this TAG or not, diving back into the past brings up funny memories but also some that I've spent years trying to burry...but I figured whatever it might be fun, so we'll see, don't laugh too hard!!!

*Your High School's full name: Brighton High School
*High School Colors: Blue and Orange
*School Mascot: Bengal
*Did you date anyone from your school? Yes, and it was fine. My only bad break up was three weeks before graduation so I was too busy to let it bug me.
*What kind of car did you drive: Sophmore and Junior year: A purple 1993 mini-van (which is why I will NEVER drive one again)
My Senior year I drove a blue 2000 Honda Civic
*It's Friday night where are you: Sitting at my friend Jonathan's house watching the guys work on their cars...it seemed really exciting back then...
*Were you a party animal: Nope, we never really went to parties just always had a good time.
*Were you considered a flirt: Umm yeah you could say that, wasn't every girl?
*Were you in band, orchestra, choir, or other group: I was in choir my sophmore year
*Were you in any clubs: FBLA and ASL (sign language)
*Did you ever get expelled or suspended: Of course not
*Can you still sing the fight song: We had a fight song???
*Who were your favorite teachers: Great question...if I could remember any of them I would list all my favorites...I guess Buffy my biology teacher
*Where did you sit during lunch: We went out every day for lunch, except that one day we stayed at school and TJ launched a meatball at Nina and hit her in the face. That was hysterical!!!
*Who did you go to Homecoming with: Junior year: Austin Smith
Senior year: Brian Swan
*If you could go back and re-do high school would you: If I could go back I would only go if I could change things, meaning that I would remember what it was like the first time and this time do it differently. I don't have many regrets, but there are a few things that I would like to see how they would have ended up had things been different. But what's done is done, and life after high school was so much better!!!
*What do you remember about Graduation: It was the longest day of my LIFE!!! It was so hard to just sit there waiting for them to call your name...my ex-boyfriend was staring holes in the back of my head. I didn't throw my cap, I wanted to keep it.
*Have you gained weight since then: I actually lost weight since then, but now that I'm expecting of course I've gained like 50 pounds since then...love it, I'm bringing CHUBBY back now!
*Do you plan on going to your 10 year reunion: Why? I was so happy the day of graduation because I would never have to see half of those people again! Why would I want to now?
*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*....*.....*....*....*
I TAG: Ashley, Laura, Heidi, Rachel (or you could Wes do it he LOVED High School I know) EVERYONE that wants to do this...it's pretty painless! Have fun!!!!!

SUPRISE!!!!!

My cousin threw a surprise birthday party for my grandma this past weekend. She never had a surprise birthday party before, so this was a special treat for her. We all hid under the deck and jumped out and yelled surprise!!!

She was so surprised and so happy she started crying. It was a really fun party.


Good food, good company, good times!!! She never misses a birthday, anniversary, or holiday. She always has a smile on her face, and is hysterical she says the funniest things! Some of you have heard this story before, but I'll tell it again.
When I was first dating Andy she asked me what made him more special than any other guy I had dated before...I thought hard about this (because there were so many things to choose from) and decided on the fact that he was a 'quad' As I say this, she scrunches up her face and pats me on the back and says, "You are a sweetheart aren't you." After a few minutes of silence she turns to me and says, "So, umm...does he let you push him around?" With concern all over her face, I think hard and answer, "Yeah I guess I can be kind of bossy sometimes." Again her face scrunches up and she says, "Well isn't he a quadriplegic?" This time I scrunch my face up and say, "No 'quad' as in quadruplet, his mom had four babies." We both laughed and laughed over this until we were crying. So the first time Andy went to meet her, we were going to put him in a wheel chair as a joke...but couldn't find one. I love my grandma!


Cheese!
