Summer is slipping away  
Well summer is almost at an end. For my step daughter Madison it is over, she had to go back to school this week. We had her tenth birthday party and it was a luau. Lots of fun, the kids had a potato sack race and bean bag toss, plus a lei relay race. She had a lot of fun and so did the grown ups. It was pretty funny watching the kids do theri relay race and falling over in the potato sacks. She got a lot of her favorite things, which is anything with Hannah Montanna on it. Yeah she is in love with her.  Izabella though is still enjoying the warm weather with trips to the park and the pool. She love to go to the pool, but she is only one and has no fear of water. Its nice but she doesn't even think twice about jumping into the pool which is deeper than she is tall. She loves to play in the water though. I set up her kiddie pool with about two inches of water and put her little playskool slide in it. She has a blast sliding down into her pool and making a small splash. I like watching her do it. Aubrie is still to young for a kiddie pool at only four months old. She sits in the shade rolling around on her blanket while I watch Izzie splashing around. When the weather turns we will have to go to inside play places which aren't as fun and most of them cost money.

New Layout  
 Love this layout it is beautiful. Well as an update I have had another baby this past may. It is another girl and she is beautiful. Looks just like her daddy. I think that it is great having the girls so close in age, 21 months and 3 months. Maybe one day they will be good friends and hopefully always be there for each other.  Of course they will fight, but it took me a while to really appreciate my big sister and I hope it doesn't happen like that for them. I'm still in school, I feel like a career college student. Of course during my college years I have had some major events to slow progress a little. I got married and had two children. That cause a couple of speed bumps but it didn't stop me of course.

My stepdaughter and I have started taking some scrapbooking classes together. She really wanted to do it so we did and it was fun. We made some good pages and she is getting a lot better at it and her creativity is growing. She looks at it as something we can do together and bond. Of course I have been in her life since she was three and she doesn't remember any differently. We get along great and she even calls me mom which is nice and was all her choice. I love the little squirt just like my girls.

Baby Time  
 Well I have a baby girl who is 15 months old and I'm going to have another baby! Yay ! I'm due on April 27th so I only have about 2 more months to go. I've known that I am pregnant again for a while but I was in denial at first. Its not that my husband and I don't want another baby, I just wasn't ready to do it again so soon. So at first I was a little freaked out but now I am really excited and so is Josh. Of course he wants a boy and truth is I do to, but I'll be happy to have another girl also. Bella and the new baby will be so close in age that maybe it would be good to have another girl. Also my two best friends are pregnant, Holly is due the same month as me and Sarah just found out she is pregnant so she isn't due until october. The funny thing about Holly is that our two girls (minie is Bella and hers is Cally) are a month apart and now our second ones are due in the same month  too. Everyone thinks we planned it, but we didn't. We are Happy that are kids are close to gether so they can grow up together. Well I'm off to think about sleepless nights and baby clothes and double strollers.

Happy 9th Birthday  
Today I had Madisons 9th birthday party. We had it at a really fun park for the kids and they had a lot of fun. There were a lot of kids there so I was happy for Maddie that people came. She also got a lot of gifts and made some money. She was excited about the money. I'm happy that the stress of getting the party together and wondering if everyone that said they were coming actually shows up. It was fun though. The Park had this wooding fort built that is a water fight area. It has different hoses for the kids to spray each other and the kids can bring their water guns. We also had a pinata stuffed with different kinds of candy and they beat it up. They also got to play pin the tail on the donkey and that was funny. We bought her a pair of heelys which she has asked for all summer. The are pink and black and I even like them myself. We also bought her a cd player and the hannah montanna cd that she wanted, plus we bought her a brand new outfit. My mom got her a scrap book kit that she loves and is already trying to make pages for it. She also got a bunch of other stuff and mostly every thing that she wanted. The baby had fun eating cake and getting carried around by everyone. The weather stayed nice and that made it a good day. We did it up cook out style so it was hamburgers and hotdogs, chips, fruit salad, macaroni salad, deviled eggs, and all kinds of juice. The nice thing about having it at a park is that the kids get to play around on the play grounds and the adults get to chit chat with each other.

Goodbye Harry Potter  
I'M DONE

Actually I finished at about four in the morning because I read all the way through last night. I really don't have much of a choice but to read at night because of the baby. She doesn't like to let me read when she is up so I do it when she is asleep. I'm not going to say to much about the book on here, but I did like it. I laughed, I cried and I enjoyed the read. I do wish that there was more and this wasn't the end of the Harry Potter series, I hope she comes up with something else just as brilliant and wonderful for people to get into. I also wish that the epilogue was a little bit better than it was, it seemed a little rushed and the writing wasn't as good as the rest of the book. I have a lot of other views on the book that I'm not going to write about right now, but over all I liked it alot.

Potter Time  

My best friend Jess and I are on our way to go get our harry potter books. I'm very excited it is the last one and i can't wait to read it. So I'll probably be in hiding this weekend while I read the book. It is exciting and I hope that everything ends the way that I wan't it to. I'm sure I'll be crying at the end like I did in the last two books. It was horrible when some key characters that I really liked died. I also had some that I like turn bad and that is upsetting too. I get way to involved in these books. Can't wait to read the last one. Gotta go off to our Potter Party. Bye

Fun in the Sun  

My husband and I had a lot of fun yesterday. We went to geauga lake and wild water kingdom. It is an amusment park and water park all together. My mom watched the baby so that we could go by ourselves. It was really nice because we haven't done something like that in a long time. Last summer I was pregnant so we didn't go to any amusement parks at all. It was nice everything reminded me of the baby though. My husband is afraid of big roller coasters and especially ones with loops, but he said that he would ride anything that I wanted too. I had him ride some roller coasters but  I didn't make him ride the loop coasters. I know that is afraid of them and the fear is real to him. Its so wierd to see him scared of something because he is such a rough guy that doesn't seem like he is scared of anything. 

The water park was a lot of fun and I love water slides, and so does he, so we went down a lot of water slides and I loved the water park area. It was like when we were just dating again and it was wonderful. We just had a fun and relaxing time together. We also had some key chains made. It is a leather heart dyed red with our names carved into it and a skull and cross bones carved into it between our names and those are dyed black. I like it a lot. Skulls are kind of our thing. We collect all kinds of skull items and he has a lot of tattoos that have something to do with bones and the skull. My mom joked that it should be our family emblem and have our last name across it.  We got some sun and my skin tanned some more which is nice because I'm usually pretty pale.

Parties  
Went to my god daughters birthday party today and it was a lot of fun. Her middle name is my first name, but her first name is Brianna. She turned two today and got a mustang! Of course it is one of the childrens power wheels, and she loves it. We couldn't get her to get out of it so we could take it outside. It was her favorite present of course, and she recieved a lot of other nice things. 

I went to toys r us to find her present (I love this store, I still buy stuff for my husband from there) she wanted a baby bed for her baby doll and I went to look for one and I couldn't believe the stuff they make for baby dolls. Everything is just like a real babies stuff. I got her a play pin with a working mobile above it and it converted into a bassinet and had a changing table on it. I know that you could buy strollers and high chairs for baby dolls because I had that stuff when I was a little girl, but it was obviously for a baby doll. Now they make the strollers to look real and everything is a miniature version of the real thing. Its cool, but her baby doll has a nicer stroller than my baby lol. I also bought Izabella some clothes because they were having a sell on baby clothes and I got her the cutest little reebok outfit. It was a t-shirt and a cute little tennis skirt, what surprised me was that it was only six bucks. 

The party was great, it was a pool party and they have a huge pool and deck in their back yard and they also had a baby pool set up on the deck for the little kids. Izzie luvs to play in the water and she played in the baby pool for a long time. I brought some of her bath toys for her to play with in the pool and she had a blast.

I feel so bad though because my friend wanted me to take some pictures of the little ones in the pool and I droped the camera in the pool. It is a digital camera and I am worried that it is broke and won't work again. I really hope that it all ens up okay and she doesn't have a problem with it once it dries out, but it also might not. I told her if I broke it I would work on paying for it, but she said don't worry accidents happen . Her boyfriend is really good with electronics so I hope he can fix it. He did this to their old camera and he dried it out and everything worked out okay so I hope that the same thing happens this time around too. I really do feel bad about it though. I would hate for that to happen to my digital camera. I'm keepin my fingers crossed. Izzie is starting to cry so I gotta go

YAY  
Well I have two reasons to be excited today. First off I got accepted to the respiratory therapy program that I have been waiting to get into. I needed to get into it by this fall or I would have to wait another year which I didn't want to do. I had just taken a year off because I had a baby. Lucky for me I found out that I was accepted today and I was the first on the waiting list. Hopefully my friend will be able to get in too. I would love to take the course with her. So my whole career plan is on track and I am super excited. 

Now for my second big news I get to go to the first showing of the Harry Potter movie the order of the phoenix to night at midnight. I've read the book of course and have the new one reserved, but I like the movies too. My husband, my bf Jessica and I are all going to see it together and its on IMAX in 3D. It shoudl be nice and its a chance for me and my husband to do something on our own, I mean no kids. 

I took Maddie and Izzie to the library today. Our Main library is huge and has a great play area for the children. It has a section for every age. Maddie made up a puppet show on the puppet stage for Izzie. Izzie watched her but she spent most of her time chewing on a string. She is teething and loves to chew and slobber. We went through the childrens books and picked out books together for them. Maddie picked out vampirates to read to her at bedtime every night. She takes after me when it comes to unusual books. I like that she isn't scarred of scary stories and likes to here them. For Izzie I got some classic berenstein bear books and dr. seus. She likes to be read to, but she is also at the age where she wants to grab the books and I'm scared that she will rip the pages. I want both of the girls to have a love for reading. 

Josh and I are both trying to pick out tattoos for Izzies name. We don't know what we are going to get yet, but I do know that I don't want something ordinary I want something unusual and hopefully one of a kind. I should get someone to design a tattooo for me. 
bye

Hot, Hot  
It is so hot out right now. Of course this makes the baby cranky and hard to get her to take a nap. If she does go to sleep it isn't for long because she is uncomfortable. I can't wait until our house is done. We should be able to move in by the end of the month. There is still some cosmetic details that we will have to take care of, but we can still move in while we work on those issues. The house has central air but where we live now out in the country doesn't. Maddie who is 8 wants to go swimming, but with gas prices and living out in the country I don't really want to take the drive to the lake. It would be nice to get wet and just jump in some water though. 
We bought the baby a mat that has animals all over it for her to crawl around on. When she crawls over an animal it makes the sound that the animal makes and at the bottom it has notes that when you touch them they make music. It is nice and my husband likes to play nursery tunes on it like mary had a little lamb and all of those. The baby likes music and starts to dance when ever she hears it. I like it. Of course I think she is cute as can be. 
Maddie and I have decided to make a craft room so we have been looking for supplies. We have clay figures to paint and construction paper and craft stuff. I can work on my books down there as well and make things with the children. This way we can fill the walls with their creations and have room for it all and keep it organized. 
Baby is hollering at me so I gotta go.

This is Nice  

I'm happy to have this Live journal. I need to work on making sure that I update it regularly. I wanted to start it so that I can keep track of the things that are going on in my life, and I can take some time out of my mommy job to work on it. Well as an intro I am a mother, wife, student, and waitress. Even though I won't actually be a waitress for long because I am working on getting a job at a hospital right now. I am a respiratory therapist major and I love the work and Job. YAY, I'm excited that I won't have to waitress for very much longer. I've done it for a long time and even though I'll miss some of my regulars and the people that I work with I am also excited to move on. I love being a mom. Watching the kids grow and get bigger is amazing. My 8 month old is starting to pull her self up on things and crawling all over the place. I feel that my husband is wonderful and I like being married. We are very compatible and we grow together every day.

We recently went down to the ohio river and went boating and swimming in it. The baby enjoyed the boat and thought that it was wonderful. I finally taught our 8 yr old maddie how to swim and she is doing great. She used to be scared of the water, but we've worked her through it and now she is jumping in and swimming and wanting to go down water slides. It is really nice.
